Building Solid Wood Windows In The Shop!!!

Learn Woodworking and Join The Makers Mob: rlnk.cc/thesamuraicarpenterma...
This was the first time I build solid wood windows that open and I am super excited about how they turned out! I used some Douglas fir that I have had kicking around for a while to build these and I can not wait to take these up to the property and get them installed. The only down side is I have to wait months to get the glass!!! Thanks for following the journey!

Those kids are paid actors. My kid thinks everything I do is dumb.

[@quidproquo3933]

😂ditto.

[@ryananthony4840]

lmao

[@frontlinefinishcarpentry4193]

Used a push stick last night... I've got your video playing in the background while I do computer work, literally choked on my coffee. 😂😁👍

[@cghoward70]

Your sons are first class hype men. “Best window I’ve ever seen…”

[@brownjh91]

And his kids probably don't realize, it really is likely the best window they've ever seen!

[@01AceAlpha]

Wait until they are old enough to get the joke after they remind him to use a push stick…..lol

[@TheGreasemonkey76]

Give those boys an Emmy! Their delivery of the script was flawless! ☺

[@patjackson1657]

I know you are Samurai, and vastly more experienced than me. I also know about "foreshortening" by cameras, but I still recoil in terror (nearly sloshed my Scotch out of the glass) whenever you reach over a spinning blade to retrieve a board. This is an observation, not an admonishment. I love your channel.

[@BigKeith510]

This man's skill level is beyond amazing. Everything always looks amazing. Thank you for the video.

[@titosrevenger]

I'm so stoked that you're releasing videos frequently again. Love this series.

[@MissionxMan]

Same

[@Rufio1975]

Same same

[@bobesposito2204]

Dude, nothing better than the kids coming in and telling you how awesome you are! That’s the best!

[@vell0cet517]

You sons deserve a raise in their allowances after that endorsement.

[@cyberms2783]

Love how supportive your kids are ❤❤

[@shanemacc]

Your kids are awesome, so supportive and loving. Shows what an amazing parent you are…

[@thecrazyisreal]

love the energy between you guys, makes it fun!

[@QuestPilgrim22]

I love the relationship you and your BIL have. Great times!

[@jasondoust4935]

That's a nice looking window, man. Well done. And your boys sure thought so! I remember being about 12 when my Dad and uncle John built an upstairs extension on our house. It was truly a formative, positive experience for me. Watching this series brings back fond memories, (back when I learned that I could walk up a ladder with four mugs of tea!)

[@OriginalMomo]

One great thing about the off grid cabin build…. You’re no longer the Sumo carpenter lol. Dropping the Covid weight. 👍🏼😈👍🏼. Your camera guys funny too.

[@TheKnightrunners]

Seriously Jesse, how much are you down?

[@wejumpedin]

Agreed! Camera man is hilarious.

[@j.a.schlatterer926]

Who's the camera guy?!?!

[@stopeape]

I have used greenhouse panels cut to size for temporary windows in some historic building restorations and they worked great.

[@keikeiasako]

Awesome adventure! Great to see you pumping out some great content..again!

[@shmuelblitz2069]

"Not many finishes you can do THAT with, without passing out" - quote of the month! :)

[@kangarune]

I liked the "I used a push stick on your mom last night" better..lol

[@glennmartin2192]

your little boy summed it up as plain as day......you are incredible with timber...........im glad your mate keeps you focused......no dark crap Samurai.....all the best

[@bryancfranz]

Great windows! You inspire me. Can't wait for the next one.

[@omnibuildersnz]

the dynamic you two have is great and makes these educational vids now entertainional 😎👍

[@seraphin_creates]

Hey! I'm happy to see this small cabin type work again, you're doing some really nice work with this. On the next windows maybe you could do an episode where you go into some more details on what joinery and how you get it to come out so nice.

[@Markus314159]

I've always wanted to make my own window frames and door. So now i have inspiration .

[@dennis2376]

Cool build, thank you for showing how the window is made.

[@davidbuyck6808]

Comme d habitude. Super travail. Merci pour toutes ces vidéos.

[@ryanodonnell1892]

Damn! Those frames look great! Samurai strikes again. Wasn't sure I'd get into this series, I was dead wrong. Amazing craftsmanship.

[@quarlow1215]

Beautiful. That old growth lumber is awesome.

[@av8tore71]

See those old machine work better than new ones all the time, that's when things were made to last!

[@Thoracius]

My house has antique casement windows. The sash has a shallow groove routed along the length of the top and outside sides so any wind-driven will run out the bottom instead of pooling up against the frame at the top of the sash and finding its way in. If you end up having issues, you can add that with a hand router.

[@johnmclaughlin4778]

Your kids are so supportive it's making me want to be a dad.

[@mikemarkel9203]

Very nice. Your work always looks beautiful and top notch.

[@yitcon2704]

I have to admit I was unaware of the comedic value these videos provide. 5 stars

[@HowlinWilf13]

Haha, I was already enjoying your video (nice shop, nice kit, and some nice woodworking!) when your two boys came in - I've just spent the whole of this last week in my own shop, doing a shelving unit for a customer, and my two boys have been visiting me. Like yours, they're at that perfect age when they're old enough to be interested in what I'm doing and young enough to be super impressed. Your video was like an echo of my week, but with an American accent, lol! Happy days, and best regards from the UK.

[@chriscunicelli7070]

I love all the great wood you use!

[@rickmasten6409]

What a Craftsman thankyou for sharing!!!

[@ApexWoodworks]

Jesse, this has to be one of my most favourite videos I've seen from you in a long time. Excellent planning and execution, with a bit of humour thrown in for good measure. Keep it up!

[@beez7005]

Window looks beautiful, as usual.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Beautiful lumber!

[@thesawdustking9171]

Super duper coolio🤟🤟

[@Shane_O]

Really nice job….. the OG is beautiful!

[@vballady]

Beautiful windows.

[@Pyro_Patriot]

Incredible attention to detail 👌🏼

[@nakulah]

That’s a great use of that fir that’s been sitting around for a while

[@dominicrekittke3352]

All well and good, Samurai. And I love your videos and enthusiasm and craftmanship. …BUT always let the top rail/horizontal part of the window frame go through and use a hidden tenon to protect the end grain of the vertical rail from the water. Makes it all last a lot longer. Greetings from Germany from a fellow carpenter…

[@meradu2]

Nice work love the shop 👍

[@Lincoln_Hawk]

Looks sweet!

[@brianwalters8277]

Frigging Awesome!!

[@ThisTall]

You could always install some of that heat shrink winter plastic into the window frames. Would be pretty clear and wouldn’t flap in the wind.

[@slackjaw703]

When I read the title my first thought was ‘Great, but how do you see through solid wood?’ Now it’s perfectly clear (pun 8n tended).

[@metroplexchl]

Those windows are sick

[@chriscianci317]

You are an amazing craftsman

[@JMontana-zr6iz]

Fantastic!

[@kjterz]

nice work......"nice wood"......................

[@GeryTeague]

Bro, LOVE your videos! And for the glass arriving late, try chucking some plexi in there until the glass arrives. You can cut it to whatever shape you need and protect from the weather at the same time!

[@kummflix]

Appreciate your activity these days man, was missing it!

[@pjohns8]

Very nice project, too bad about the glass, it will be worth the wait. I am enjoying the cabin build and learning something too.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, dude! Really well done! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@brownboy6844]

came for the project stayed for the banter.. you guys are hilarious..

[@MultiJessielyn]

Love this.

[@darylwootton5217]

Nice approach to your windows, sorry I wasn't able to have provided a couple tips. Looking forward to seeing your handmade latches.

[@paulbabcock9606]

I enjoy your postings. Very informative. One concern I have particularly for people who are new to the table saw is safety. I noticed you did not use a splitter, a guard, or push block on any of your table saw cuts.

[@diggingupnorth3453]

his videos are not based around beginner table saw safety. Some things are earned over time. I would LOVE to see you to wonder onto a jobsite and mention this to a crew

[@davidweidman3169]

I noticed that as well .I don't think he cares .

[@behonestwithyourself3718]

New or not. Use a push stick or something. I've seen a few horrendous table saw accidents. Happens to fast.

[@diggingupnorth3453]

I've seen a lot of bike accidents too. It does not mean everyone needs training wheels. Work smart

[@diggingupnorth3453]

and by "splitter" does he mean a writhing knife?

[@carolewarner101]

Not too shabby for your first ever windows!

[@jasonnickson4631]

great content

[@sajidrafique375]

wonderful

[@imperialguard13]

I love how your kids were totally hamming it up for the camera!

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video thanks !!!!

[@robertwilliams8974]

Hey Jess, instead of glass, you could consider polycarbonate (a.k. Lexan) This stuff blocks U.V, has insulating properties and will not break/shatter. In Australia it is also available with a tint to reduce glare which is probably not a problem so much in Canada. This material could be bedded in with Sikaflex or similar.. Cheers, Rob.

[@tycox8704]

Scratches easily, no?

[@SkylaneGuy]

@@tycox8704 no, Lexan is fairly scratch resistant. Not as hard as glass, but much better than regular acrylic.

[@jonnenne]

What is the price difference? I was surprised to find out how expensive non-glass windows are compared to normal glass.

[@TheSamuraiCarpenter]

It’s far more expensive than the glass. Even 1/4” plexiglass was more expensive.

[@OmarGarcia-bi7jq]

Yes poly or plex is way expensive than glass

[@mmanut]

KILLER WINDOWS ‼️‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@andrewbrown8148]

Very nice~!

[@ryanm1975]

I've been enjoying your videos. One grievance is the orientation of your ear protection on your head. I'm a staunch believer in having the band on the back of my head. I'm willing to let this go, but it seemed really important to voice this concern on behalf of humanity. Cheers!

[@armin0815]

Great looking windows. Can you get acrylic sheets as an interim solution?

[@Michael-co3sf]

Those were my thoughts aswell

[@daveachuk]

Plexi would be about $250 for all 3 windows...

[@DoctorHayduke]

I like building windows but I've not done any with moving parts. Nice work man. Also a big fan of the OG VG!

[@firstlight4165]

That's a good friend. Pizza is always welcomed in my shop!

[@najdiy]

Awesome

[@a0flj0]

Glue and sawdust: after the fact precision. Until the glass arrives, you can build some scrap softwood frames of exactly the same geometry, stick some transparent foil on both sides using double-sided sticky tape, and, depending on the transparency of the foil you use, you'll have a temporary replacement that's quite functional - thermally, air isolates almost exactly as the argon they put in window panes, it's just worse at sound insulation. You don't need an hour to build those temporary panes. Since they don't need to last more than a few months, you can even leave them unfinished.

[@l.k.1011]

"Yah, so am I." ^^

[@charlesdolniksr.8486]

Would be nice to add screens to your new windows. Enjoying your channel more than ever. Thanks

[@ralphrohr]

@@bluecruiser3790 Dunno exactly, i read something in the comments on both KZbin Films back then...

An idea for the upper loft... Hinge it so that it can fold up against the wall when not needed for sleeping.

[@mickbanovic7014]

good vid man

[@sapelesteve]

Nice work on those windows Jesse! I assume the glass that you are using for those windows is tempered glass & double paned? Anyway, looking forward to the follow up video! 👍😉

[@funnywolffarm]

trapezoids get real ornery when you call them triangles. you're a brave man. build is looking great.

[@SeanUnkempt]

But if the windows are solid wood, how will you see outta them?

You could use a couple sheets of either acrylic or Lexan until your permanents come in.

Lovely as always but you're freaking me out, it looks like you're about to grab that table saw blade!

[@DavidrKun]

17:28 I am going Acrylic with 200X time Stronger then Glass. It's Stationary so I rather have scratches that I can fix with more acrylic then replace a broken glass. I rather pay the extra then head to my local Lowes/Homes Depot. I like this because I would like to make some Windows I can add to my Camper. I like the design, I just need to work out the dimensions. Thanks for the Build, Gave me some Motivation to make them happen.

[@johnathansmyth9507]

Love the Canadian flag sticker on the table saw....!

Cant believe he runs his hand right past the blade

[@richardthomas1566]

God Dammit ! I’m not going to ask again and now I’m not asking I’m telling you Please build a corner casement window with out a center post in the window. 3-0 X 6-0 window with a 90% right angle frame , so when the window is cranked out the whole opening is open .

Your normal voice is much better than the rough western hero voice you do in all other videos.
