Now set the beveling platform so close to the saw that yon can cut the strip clear off, leaving the desired shoulder, as in the TAKING OFF THE STRIP UNDER THE COVER. In the above cut, let A be the stationary side of the saw-table; B the square end of the parallel bar to said table, and II the saw. C is the beveling platform screwed to B; E the side or end of the hive lying on it F; the strip that goes under the cover, and G the 3- cornered piece that is wired to the iron track. This last piece is to rest the square edge of the board against while pushing it through, to cut off this strip. You will ob- serve that the table is screwed up high enough to allow the saw to cut just into the notch I, that we sawed in all the pieces be- fore they were cut up. Our side-pieces are now finished, and the ends are all done, ex- cept cutting the rabbets for the frames to hang on. This operation is so simple, it need hardly be described. In the accom- panying cut you will see a cross-section of one of the ends that has been rab- beted, and one that has not. We first saw in |, and then saw down from B, to meet it. As the lumber is i, if we take out f, we shall have just a half-inch of wood left. When the metal rabbet is in place, and the frame hung in the hive, the top of the frame should be just on a level with the shoulder C. As our frame is just 9i deep, and we want just about I under the bottom-bar, making di in all, we want just 9i inches from the shoulder, C, to the bottom edge of the boards, D. This will insure just f be- tween the upper and lower frames when the hives are used with two stories. If our
