Thank you. Very helpful.

And I thought the stays on the old house we live in were put on the wrong way! Haha. My wife wouldn't let me turn them around anyway, even though the wind would rock the window back and forth and loosen the screws! Appreciate the effort you put into making thee vids. Cheers, David

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha, they can be either way around, but this way is the correct way IMO. sounds like the fastner needs adjustment :D Thankyou David

[@RichardC1588]

Thank you! A very clear explanation of what to do. Well filmed and edited.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Richard. Hopefully you have super smooth Stays and fasteners now!!

[@RichardC1588]

@@BradshawJoinery Indeed I do! I offset them like you showed in the video and they are looking very smart.

briliant mate love it.....just making new windows for my 1919 built Arts and Crafts home...replacing the horrid 80s plastic with stick on lead ones...am replicating the originals and using the monkey tail stays and fasteners but in iron.....one interesting thing all the original stays only had one stay pin each...all around the estate

[@BradshawJoinery]

They only used them as stays in the past, so the window shut on a fastener then opened and held on the stay.

[@markrussell9719]

Saved to my play list ready for when you send the new oak window you have made me. 😁😁

[@BradshawJoinery]

Wont be long! You'll know how to do them when your finished :D

[@dlevi67]

Hah! Just got a couple of nice brass stays and fasteners from Broughtons to replace the original zinc-and-plastic crapware, and thought I'd see if there are any tricks to fitting them (yes, there are!). I thought those stays looked familiar... Thank you for the videos - very clear and useful!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Uncanny!! I Love broughtons!

[@neilw4881]

Always a pleasure watching your tutorials. cheers 🍻 PS. It might be worth having a look at setting up a Patreon a/c, if anyone deserves making a few quid from their videos its got to be you👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Neil, Much appreciated! I have got a Patreon setup up, but need to sort out a little ad for it. Thankyou for the reminder and the support!!!!

[@ianwatson9096]

I wish I'd used the sort of quality fittings you have there. Mine were relatively cheap ones and don't really do the window justice. I learn something every time from your videos. Thanks, and keep them coming. My next job is to reinstall a sliding sash window that I've renovated. I'd really appreciate a video on how you'd tackle it, especially how to secure the box to the brickwork.

[@BradshawJoinery]

I always look to Broughton's for quality ironmongery. They dont sell crap and will custom manufacture whatever you want, in whatever finish too. Sash window... i have some lined up to do, its just a family (non paying) job so its fitting in between jobs HAHA the box generally just sits in the brickwork and shouldnt need too much securing. when initiallt fitted wither wedged into place or steel strap into the brickwork.

[@ianwatson9096]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@traveler7249]

Excellent tutorial. What is that sorcery of mm? I sometimes wish the USA would adopt such.

[@BradshawJoinery]

whats wrong with 4/2 and 1/32" haha mind blowing adding fractions of " together in big numbers!

[@Squats200]

[@tryitout3554]

lovely stuff

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks :)

[@jakephipps4006]

Super helpful as always! :)

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Jake :D, THis is one of them things where the devil is in the detail, and is the difference between a well working catch and a awkward window!!

[@Kird14]

Would have bodged it right up without this video

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice one, glad it was useful!

[@swt198597]

I am sorry to ask you the same question again. Could you remind me where do you get the window hardware? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks again nice work.

[@BradshawJoinery]

These were from broughtons. No worries 👍

[@1cybdiver]

Have you got any videos on how to put screens on those windows?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Like a fly screen? No i don't im afraid

[@1cybdiver]

@@BradshawJoinery Darn I need screens

[@samarduke9865]

What's the cost of the Stainless Steel window stay?

[@BradshawJoinery]

This was a Brass one, im not sure how much it was, but it came from broughtons ironmongery leicester.

[@randomthought4271]

Unfortunately we have to reverse the stays as fly screens are mandatory in Australia, gotta keep the bugs out!

[@BradshawJoinery]

It works both ways, fly screens are a great idea, noone seems to utilise int his country!

[@joecox9958]

why no body show opening angle of the instllation?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Which angle buddy? I will try explain

[@kassemrowlands4241]

Wow, you certainly talk the long way round

[@garyblake3130]

You need to go old school and put your slotted screws in with a yankee.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha! Haven't they been banned now? Didn't one kill a geezer?
