Here is the pretty much completed tutorial. If there are any suggestions,
please let me know what you think.

When you click on a picture, it gets bigger. Then you can scroll down and
see a brief comment. This whole process only takes a few weeks to make 40
(average of about 36-38 first grade) comb sections which weigh about a
pound and a half each. That is if the hive is fairly strong, and you keep
the jars with cappings and water available. The actual labor involved is
about 4 hours total, (including fillng the cappings bottles several times)
with the last hour having two of my kids to help me put the lids on and
take them to the freezer. Again, the profit probably wouldn't be as much
as with the Ross Rounds, as the cassettes cost me about 1.30 cents each
with shipping, at least where I get them from. But they are very fast to
install.

Regards
Tim
