Another question about making up nucs

Do you have to use a nuc box .....or can you use a standard national brood box and dummy it down to 5/6 frames?

You can even put dividers into a national deep box and turn it into two 5 frame or three smaller nucs.
 
I like splitting a brood box into two 5 frame nucs I have three on the go at the mo I’ve used little disc entrances of mini kieler hives entrances are at opposite ends , if I remember tomorrow I take a photo of one.
