Sometimes a person just has to do things themselves. Getting bees this year ment a lot of new equipment and using a horizontal hive design ment that most equipment in the market place just didn't fit why non standard frame design. An extractor being one of the biggest investments a beekeeper can make, it just didn't make sense to drop a grand on a special extractor my frame size. So I designed and built one myself. I used fusion360 to create the design, my cnc router to machine out some parts. A little cutting, grinding and welding along with a few parts from Amazon got me an extractor that should fit my small apiary needs for under $200.

That's awesome. It seems to be a rare thing. Lol nobody in my area has layens so I've had to do everything from scratch. And I get lots of shaken heads and skepticism from other beekeepers I talk to. Lol
