The third pic shows what these will be used for. Top Bar Beekeeping is a great alternative to Langstroth, Warre, and other "modern" hive designs that are engineered to get the most honey out of the least space. Instead of a frame around a plastic foundation, top bar hives get just the top bar, with a starter strip down the middle to encourage straight comb. This is easiest with a jig of some kind, and this year's set of bars are going to be a lot straighter than last year's :)

I doubt anybody else will need exactly these jigs, so I've included the Fusion 360 Archive file and I figured this would make it easier to find later :) My bars are 1 3/8" (brood) and 1 3/4" (honey) wide and 20" long with a centered 16" starter strip that's beveled at 115 degrees on each side.

I'll be printing tonight in PLA, can't wait :)
