Joel,
 
Thanks for the reply and the advice.  I was trying to think of a way to
get the honey out of the TBH combs, especially since I don't think it
would work to try to run them through a conventional extractor.  Your
technique sounds like the answer (if a bit messy :-)).  I also thought a
TBH would be a good way to get some comb honey as well as extracted.  My
concern wasn't going out and buying an extractor since, as I said, I
borrow my uncle's every year, rather that I would have to press the
honey from the TBH combs like James Satterfield does.  Since I don't own
a cider press or anything like that, that would be a problem.  If I
follow your advice, that problem would be eliminated!!  I'm getting
anxious to look through the woodpile by my house and see what hive
material I can scrounge up!!
 
Thanks again,
