A polystyrene fish box or meat box (Handmade meats). An old double glazing unit to fit over the top. An old roasting tin with a chunk cut out one end, some fine gauze to strain the wax & a receptacle of your choice to catch the strained wax. Plus a breeze block to chock it up. Paint the inside black & away you go.

I presume it must be a case of great minds think alike rather than the alternative reasoning.

"(and no I'm not building one)" - sorry, can't compute that... why would anyone pay for a solar wax extractor...... 'bout �100 seems to be the going rate - can't see how that would ever be recoverable. Why not use the services of another local beekeeper - I'm sure someone local would happily process your wax - either free or for a little barter.... Dee
