In this video I show how to make box joints for a beehive using a table saw. You will need a 7/8" dado stack and a miter gauge. My plans are for standard Langstroth boxes (10 frame).

I just found your channel and subscribed. I'm not a beginner and I do build all my own equipment. That being said, your channel should be required viewing for all beginners. I don't understand why you don't have 10,000 subs.

Good job making box joint supers and deeps. These will last 20 years and more. Pre-drill all nail holes, use water proof glue if you have it. It will seal the wood from moisture.
A simple jig like this is all that is needed and keeping focused as to what you are doing so you don't cut the wrong part. Thanks

I built my own boxes, bottoms, and tops. With the current lumber prices I can buy ready cut outh boxes, I can still make my own bottoms and yops.

Very good videos, now I have to think about buying a dado blade or a router jig for a simple hand router.... seems the dado might be a better investment considering frames, too.

Very nice, I always respect and appreciate a fellow woodworker with toys, lol; I build a lot of bee boxes, but I don't complicate myself with too many measurements, I keep everything at 3/4" finger joints, works everytime;
Keep up the good work.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I started out making my first boxes. I actually enjoy making all my woodenware. Unfortunately it's cheaper to buy unassembled boxes than I would pay for the materials. Hopefully the prices will return to pre-pandemic level and we can go back to being creative again.
