No matter the size, all wedge top bar frames are assembled the same. These photos are the assembly of a frame that will go into a 6 5/8" super which some refer to as a medium super.
This is the wood ware and nails for a 6 1/4" frame that will go into a 6 5/8" super.
There is a cut in the top bar where the wedge is.
Use a knife to remove the wedge from the top bar. Save the wedge piece you removed; you will need it to secure the wax foundation.
Put some wood glue in the top notch of both side bars this will help hold the top bar in place.
Insert the top bar into each side bar.
Nail the top bar to the side bars. These are 17 gauge 1 1/4" nails.
Put glue in the bottom slots of the side bars.
Nail the bottom bar to the side bars using the same 17 gauge nails.
Here is the completed frame.
