Ingenuity at work there.
By God Steve that beast would make some fearsome crop circles on the vicars lawn!
When you've done the frames you could join your local Jamaican steel band. ;)

Could you use it to heat water for rendering your wax too?

Made up some more OMF kits

Maisemore clones so the removable parts will be interchangeable.
As usual entirely reclaimed and repurposed materials.
That's as far as I got as I then found I haven't got enough mesh to finish them and it's russian roulette getting anything mail order in our current logistical climate.
It's minus 1 outside anyway and I can't feel my fingers anymore
I may have cut them off.

I used mesh from an old fireguard for the underside of a couple of 5 frame wooden nucs. Being expanded steel. I was expecting that it would rust quite quickly however it's still fine several years on.

(Nucs need ventilation underneath or they can get very very damp with mouldy frames over winter otherwise).

Got a polynuc with components welded on from inside.Ive never liked the idea of vaseline on the edges but this will not budge and the slots are beginning to get chewed up.
Time to stop and think.

Using meticulously sourced materials , painstaking craftsmanship,and long minutes of valuable time :lol: I produced this masterpiece

It actually works a treat
Ive taken a month off work to sit by the phone waiting for maisemores to ask about a licensing deal.

Perhaps you could contact several funeral directors as a container for cold ashes??!! :)
