My new toy....

<p>Not for everyone, but I built myself an observation bee hive for the office. I grew up with ant farms, and later aquariums. Now I keep bees…

<p>Very cool. Where did you get the plans?</p>

<p>My local zoo had one of those when I was growing up. They are fascinating! I am so impressed with your carpentry skills.</p>

<p>Beekeeper is high on the list of my H’s alternate profession choices; if I show him this, we’ll have one, LOL.</p>

<p>I looked at a few on-line and then just started building. That’s the way I do most things, figure it out as I go along. Since I’m only building one, it works out fine. If I were going to produce more than one, I’d work out some plans with construction details. I did a lot of this one with hand tools. I love the history of tools. I host a forum for Wood magazine for old tools and machinery.</p>
