Some were specially bought like this prongy pokey thingy that is perfectly shaped for cleaning dregs of foundation from frame grooves...
Some were carefully considered adaptations, like this crown board with adapted sides that turn it into an eke one way up and a crown board the other way up!
There was some interesting metal work on show....a frame holder for uncapping and a stirrer for creaming...
But possibly the star of the show ( judging from the way it got passed around the table and examined by the wood working experts) was probably this honey bucket tipper upper...
We were assured it was normally wedged up (to help the last dregs of honey out of the bucket) by some wooden door wedges rather than fingers...but it may be adapted with a large old fashioned bed spring for next year.
Can't wait to see that!
