Complicated Muntin Replacement Made Easy.
Joinery repair lesson in this video! I take two damaged muntins out and replace them with some new ones. Fun little project. Did two actually, the first one took a couple of hours. Second one 45 minutes.
I want to encourage you to learn joinery. The historic house community is calling you - they need soldiers in the Artisan Army equipped to serve. I hope you use this video to that end.

Laying out the Stiles and Rails for a 12 Lite Sash
Просмотров 767Месяц назад
I take you through the math, fractions and decimals to lay out the mortises on a 12 lite sash. I use just a regular calculator. The way I do it has a few checks built into it and toward the end, those checks came in handy because I miscalculated something and it showed up in my layout. Anyway, hope you learn something from this.
Carpentry in Window Craft - Fitting a New Six Lite Bottom Sash.

Scott and I went down to Fort Myers, Florida where a client is fixing up his old house to sell. He has a LOT of rotten window sashes, most of which have been repaired once already. Carpentry in Window Craft might well be classified as the second of three major historic trade disciplines. The first is Joinery - the making of sashes, doors and other useful wooden elements. Carpentry is the art of...

Many have asked for videos to help with muntin layout. Here’s an easy one. One 3/4” mortise between a bottom rail and a meeting rail. How do you get it perfect, every time? Do it this way and eliminate as much human error as possible. If you didn’t learn fractions in school, here’s your chance. Because that’s the way we do it - fractions.
Sash Factory Overnight? Not Hardly.
Просмотров 9452 месяца назад
It took many years of trial and error for my current version of the Sash Factory to emerge. I started with a shaper and ultimately to proved to be too much, like driving an 18 wheeler to the grocery store to get a gallon of milk. Discovering a matched window sash set, I bought a router table. With that and a router table at the end of my big table saw, I made several sashes. I have experience a...
Remove the Paint Finish AND the Glass in Under Twelve Minutes!
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.4 месяца назад
The team member working the sash needs to be able to strip, sand, prime and reglaze a one lite sash in under 2 hours. How is this possible? Part of the secret is to combine the Paint Shaver, ProScraper and orbital sander as part of your strategy. Admittedly, the glass is not always as easy to get out as it was in this video, but regardless, when you’re able to strip the flats in eight minutes, ...

Rolling into 2024 I couldn’t help but scroll through everything that happened in 2023. I think the biggest thing for me wasn’t the projects. It was the people. I got to work with so many good people in 2023 from family to acquaintances to long term relationships - I’m really grateful. I’m betting 2024 is going to be another year of relationships. Many people believe we restore windows - but act...

Cutting Wavy Glass Freehand for a Diamond Lite Wood Window Sash
Просмотров 2 тыс.Год назад
I love the quiet sounds of cutting antique wavy glass. The gentle scores, the crisp snaps are somewhat hypnotic. I cut freehand, rarely using a straight edge or even a marker, and teach my students to do the same. “Trust Thyself” and develop the skills. It’s ok to use a straight edge or a marked line, or both. That’s part of mastering the movement. But eventually one must let go of the training...

Meeting Rails Didn’t Line Up In This Crooked Window. How I Fixed It
Awesome to watch, very well put together video. What type of Timber was that?
Steve, I have a question: my double hung windows have ACME twin sash balance for opening and closing. Is there any way to change to lead weight rope pulley system like the windows in this video have?
What's the best primer for window glaze?
Anyone else distracted by his nail Polish 💅💅💅💅
Great vid
I see a Stanley rabbet plane on your bench?! Did u use it on this job? Please dont withhold information sir! signed, fellow window rebuilder.
Ah! That is a Stanley 55 mounted with a sash cutter. I gave it an honest try but have to admit my lack of mastery there. I did try. I need a lot more time with it to begin to unlock its secrets.
Nice repair Steve
Do you recreate the interior profile with a router? If yes, is it difficult to find a bit that matches the old profile?
You da man!
Technique and tips more than make up for the lack of polish in the video. Glad I watched.
Any suggestions on how to repair a bowing meeting rail where the lock is? Is full rail replacement the only option?
There’s a person in Sweden that I’ve seen do it. Usually I just replace it. ruclips.net/video/OoTztO0q9UE/видео.htmlsi=RGHokfkP_sQXUgSQ
I have a bowed meeting rail I’m working with now. I’ve been wrapping it in a moist towel and clamping it straight. Seems like it’s working. Over the length of 31 inches it was bowed out 1/4 inch a week ago. Now it’s down to less than 1/8 inch. Not being very aggressive with the clamps for fear of breaking it.
Love your contact keep up the great work other than lot from you. You’re the best.
Thank you 🙏
I dig this video. Fascinating process. I wonder if your methods are just a bit overly destructive to the frame. But I must also admit I could not do better, or even come close. Thank you sir for sharing 🙏🏽
Well you have to get it apart somehow.
I had no problem following along your mathematics but im glad i live in a metric world 😅
What matters most is that it fits when you are done.
Interesting, this is the first time I've seen a pinned bridle joint construction. Is that something you have come across often? Nice work btw 🍻
Thank you 🙏. Pretty much all 1920s era sashes are pinned this way. Earlier ones might have wood pegs.
@@WoodWindowMakeover over here in NZ 1920s era sashes tend to be wedged mortis and tenon, that's why I found the bridle joint interesting. Cheers 🍻
How many hours does a repair like that take you? And do you charge for your time or a price? Over in the UK, love your videos and have learnt a lot
Thank you 🙏. No I get a set price to restore a sash. Granted, the price increases with every muntin. But it’s a fixed price. After a while there’s only so many things that can go wrong with a sash and you learn to compare the cost of restoring to building one from scratch. If it’s too far gone and it costs more to restore it than make a new one, they most often get a new, authentic replica, true to form. This one took me a couple of hours. The second one only took 45 minutes. But that is the way it is. First one always takes longer. Second one is faster, third faster and so forth.
@@WoodWindowMakeover thank you for taking the time to reply
i always learn a lot watching your videos thank you
Thank you 🙏
I like the spring loaded finishing nail driver… always pulling a rabbit outta the hat Steve ! Good work as always… ( from South Texas).
Thanks Forrest!
Is there any other wood you would recommend for making window sashes? Spanish cedar, Sapele?
THAT is a very nice piece of work! Take a house point... No! Take two... and a pat on the back. 👍👍👍
Thanks Jim! Man that was fast. I just posted a couple of minutes ago 😊
Stop talking down to your viewers. In your manner of speaking AND your camera angles. Who is your intended audience? Someone who has no clue whatsoever about any of this, or a somewhat experienced tradesman or homeowner DIYer? Either way, you’re glazing over a lot of important details if you’re trying to teach someone who doesn’t already know how to do this shit. And yeah, pun intended. You’re obviously great at what you do. Those windows look fantastic. But you’d be better with the audience if you didn’t sound like you’re annoyed that they don’t already know everything you do, and so you’re rushing through the explanation.
Important fact I learned from this video…don’t paint the sides. Thank you. I was about to make that mistake with my first sash refinishing.
Thank you so much for an excellent instruction! It all made so much sense!
I been using chemical stripper, but that hasn't been working so well due to needing several applications to get through the 50 or so layers of paint on my windows. Might go this route instead.
Came for a tutorial, somehow feel completely relaxed and stress free for some reason.
I’m a DIYer and have used push points on a couple of windows. Easy to install without special tools but they can make glazing challenging.
Lead paint poisoning is a huge risk here. Mask up with a proper mask!
You did not show opening and closing the finished product. 😢
Great tips, thanks for sharing your technique
best 13 minutes I've spent on youtube, ever 😂
How do you do this without having to do all the rrp epa plastic and whatnot? I hate working on old houses because of the containment, but love old houses for every other reason.
Thank you so much for the tip about the line for glazing putty and glazing points
Where do you get your bronze stripping?
How did you cut the groove in the meeting rail? You do not show this process, just the finished product. Did you use the Conservation Technology router and bit? To cut the groove, could I use a trim router? I do enjoy your videos and have picked some great tips. Thank you.
Hey Steve how did you know what angle to cut the part of the sill that went under the stool?
Little off the subject but, nice teeth, man! Mine have given me problems since I was a kid. You're fortunate, although you probably worked at it.
Your info is great in all vids and I plan to use all of it to restore every window in my house. One constructive criticism though about something I see in numerous homr improvement videos. There is an excessive use of the word "okay?" In the same way teenagers use the word "like". Its a habitual filler word and distracts from what you are trying to say, which is a real shame considering how knowledgeable you seem and how valuable your content is to folks like me. Thanks for the vid!
Jared, I see what you're saying, but I accept Steve as a teacher rather than a You-Tube influencer or someone trying to put out a flashy product. So, I don't get caught up in any verbal things that might distract some viewers. When I'm watching his videos, 1) I'm in a classroom, 2) it"s a class I'm interested in, and 3) I've judged him to be a trustworthy expert in the area of window restoration. Glad you enjoyed the video like I did. He's provided us with an extensive library of fantastic "how to" videos.
Can you not just use the spring bronze on the meeting rails as well rather than use the silicone tubing ?
I was hoping there would have been more detail on how you removed the rotted sill. I know it involved the sawzall, just would have been helpful to see it in action.
What’s magic dust? Baby powder?
A drywall powder made of calcium carbonate and plaster of paris. It’s sold in big box home stores. I believe the name of it is Quick Sand 20. Comes in bags.
Is there a way to replace the double pane glass in my double hung windows? They are clouded up…
Longtime subscriber here. I want to get your take, on the 'Glazier's push points' they're selling at hardware stores. As I only have a few old windows I'm rehabbing, I wonder if they are a good alternative...TIA!
What type of wood did you use to make these repsirs?
Man I can't afford the bronze weatherstripping. I have an early 1900's 2 story home. 25 large windows downstairs and near about that mamy upstairs. What is a cheaper alternative for me? I am on SSI. YIKES!!
Steve is it best to prime the entire window before glass is glazed in?
Excellent video, loved the majik dust trick! Many thanks.
