Use a thin top bar shallow frame. Either a grooved top bar, or a slotted
top bar. I like slotted, as the foundation is easier to install, the
grooved gives a straighter comb, but foundation must be glued in with
melted beeswax. Kelley has slotted thin top bar frames. Wedge top bars
don't give a wide enough comb to fill the 4 1/8 square cut comb container.
Medium frames are wastful. Install foundation 3/8" from bottom bar. If you
install full sheet, it will sag when drawn, and will give a curved comb.
Cut the comb 4 1/8 x 4 1/8.
         I use two sharp, serrated knives. They follow the edge of the
frame, without cutting in. Place them in a pan of hot water on a hot plate.
Use one for a few cuts, and switch. Keep the knives hot.
