All you guys with your top bar hives, those look easier to work than these giant stacks I've got going. I'm gonna have to rethink my strategy here in a little while.

I'm not positive, but just eyeballing it I'd guess it will hold 35 frames? 35 deeps.I was tinkering already with the idea of a smaller box to place on top of this one for honey supers....we'll see.
It's not that hard to make one but as usual I made it tougher than it needed to be. First tried to use reclaimed barn lumber but my 2x12ish boards kept splitting. Honestly I think as long as the inside dimension is right for your frames you could build these however you wanted to do them.
I bought a piano hinge for the lid but decided against that for now.
