Extracted frames, used extractor for the first time

First time using the older extractor we got from a friend beekeeper that decided to get out of beekeeping. Worked great! A bit out of balance and you had to make sure to have combs of about the same weight. 

The heated decapper was easy to use and was a big help. But a bit harder to use on combs that were not flat on the surface. For those, we used a fork to remove the caps.
