I have started a batch of 33 mm Hoffman sides and will make some 32 mm over
next winter.

My first priority is rebuilding... then 4.9... then closer spacing.

The weather isn't helping, I have delayed my queen rearing for another
couple of days but it is about the sixth time I have done that.

When next the frame is empty...a bit of judicious work with a plane will
take your 37 mm sides down to 35 mm and an electric uncapping knife (or hot
wire) can be used to shave the comb surface down.
