New Hive Stand

I do controls for machines and on a regular basis the shop does a 5S sweep of inventory. These two rails of extruded aluminum ended up in the recycling pile. I saw them and immediately knew where I could put them to use. So for the cost of scrap ($24) I have a new stand with the convenience of jacking screws and the stability of a machine frame to restart our bee adventure. Sorry about the audio, that's the next thing among many things I need to work on.

Materials used
1x2 2 slot extruded aluminum ( scrap bin )
4 roll in T-slot nuts to anchor the modified ant barriers ( dumster diving )
Modified ant barriers ( orignal, made in the US purchased here https://www.ebay.com/itm/283475227101?hash=item420070b1dd:g:Va0AAOSw9N1Vo-2Q )
