Thomas,
I use to make my frames and gave it up. From a woodworking point of view, it is
time and labor intesive. I make all the other hive parts, but frames, mainly the
end bars, are not worth it, as can be seen by your labor saving question
concerning the end bars. You might want  to purchase them separately.
