Over the past few years when I clean out a colony or just a few frames that need attention I usually put down some plastic on the work bench and get at it. Recently I was working on an old tray to help contain the mess, left over honey from an old frame. I have been looking for a try that would accommodate a frame and I haven't been able to find one large enough. I remembered today that I bought a press break to fold light metal and I made a tray. I folded the edges over, turned them up and just riveted a small piece that fit into the fold at each corner. It's crude but does the job nicely.
