Building 4 more beehive brood boxes.
Each side panel consists of 2 planks joined with dowels.
This is a long side and gets 7 dowels.
The dowels are drilled one from each side giving a stronger join.

The Hegner Polycut is used to cut out the entrance and also the box joints.
But, I think the saw needs a new blade …….. :lol:

Brood box entrance cut out

Box joints cut out on the front panel.

I did try make a box joint jig for the table saw, dismal failure.
It is quite fast cutting on the Hegner and requires very little sanding for the fit.
