It is also rabbeted at the edge where the projection of the top-bar of the frame will rest (Fig. 174, d), so that the projection has a solid support, and will not split off with pressure. We now set the frame on this block, lay on the foundation, cut the size we desire, which will be as long as the frame, and nearly as wide. The foundation will rest firmly on the projection and block, and touch the top-bar at every point. We now take a board as thick as the projection Fig. 174. r^a â 'i^i^ ^ 1 'f i 1 â 1.

I have practiced this plan for years, and have had admirable success. I have very rarely known the foundation to drop if made of good wax, though it must be remembered that our hives are shaded, and our frames small. If the top-bar of.
