>If nothing else thing of all the great discussions that might emerge from
this list next winter.  I'll kick in $10.

Not design (well maybe) but construction.

I would drop all the joints currently used in constructing bee hives and use
in their place the patent Sauder Twist-Lock fastener used in fine furniture.
Eight to a hive body. A couple drilled holes is all that's needed to install
each piece. If the box ever loosens up a Phillips screw driver will tighten
right up. Replace a side of the super in about five minutes.



Those on the list which build furniture might have used the Twist-lock
fastener. My experience comes from putting together Sauder furniture.

Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
