I am interested in the 'metal gizmo for inserting the foundation'...
Which is something that I have not come across, can anyone give any
pointers or a description?

reply:
You should order a copy of their catalog, all this stuff is there. However,
I will describe the "gizmo". Assuming you are using wooden sections to make
comb honey, and assuming you are using split sections:

You put four sections in the holder, and position this gizmo along the
split edge. It holds all four sections open while you drop the sheet of wax
through the slot in the metal thing. Inserting a sheet of wax into four
split sections simultaneously *any other way* would be a chore.

If you are using unsplit sections this gadget is of no use at all.
