Hi Pete and all

Maybe try gelignite or a jack hammer.  Here in Ontario our hive  
bodies are made of 7/8" pine.  Outside measurements 20"x16 5/8" so  
inside 1/4" smaller than 3/4" US boxes.  Now throw in 10 self spacing  
frames to make things just a little more difficult.  I use 9 staple  
frames(no shoulders) in both brood boxes and honey supers.
