Suzanne & others,
With all do respect and consideration that an extractor may be a fun thing
to put together from scratch; I believe that it might be just a tad bit
easier and cheaper to find a good used extractor on the open market. A lot
of folks have decided to get out of beekeeping lately and have extractors,
uncapping knives and other beekeeping equipment for sale at bargan prices;
you just need to look to find them. I believe that such an endeavor would
be worth the effort!
Good Luck!

washing machine and was forced to sleep with the bees for weeks.
