Making and fitting a picture frame window

Well, half way through working on the kitchen and the boss decided the window isn't big enough so I had go off and make a new one! She decided it would be a 'picture frame' window without any openings because the extra framework blocks out the light! It's best to just do it, peaceful life and all that. I went into quite a bit of detail on this one. Enjoy!

[@dregenius]

With how much metal fabrication I've been into lately, I've been more afraid of injury from the workpiece rather than the tools.. I almost forgot just how ridiculously quickly the average woodworking tools will dismember. The shaper in particular really put the fear of god back in me, I'll tell ya. 😂

[@tayred81]

My favorite channel right now 👍🏻😎

[@durnin84]

Got to say, Is there anything you cannot do? So many different trades on show. All the expert woodworking in countless videos, your electrical work setting up all the CNC stuff, the plethora of building work (The coving was ridiculous) and countless others, and now this, Your wife is a very lucky woman.

[@shubus]

We all wondered what was going on in New Yorkshire as it's been a couple months since the last video.I think we all know how really difficult this project was, but our New Yorkshire man was up to the task!

New Yorkshire Workshop is to woodworking and home renovation that My Mechanics is to metal working and item restoration. Both gold standards in their fields, as far as I'm concerned! Well done, sir.

[@jamesgibbons5552]

What really impresses me is how calm and composed you are throughout. I redecorated our hallway in an Edwardian house recently and when I went to repair some cracks, a whole wall of plaster just came off 😮 I was left with a brick wall. I panicked like hell and ended up dot and dabbing some plasterboard over the top and skimming it myself but I was a bag of nerves throughout and constantly questioning what I’m doing. You’re a master of all trades and I wish I had an ounce of your confidence.

Honest to God this is one of my favorite channels! I can't tell you how unbelievably impressed I am!

[@davidhaworth7152]

As much as I also want more content. I feel compared to most creators with Russ’s attention to detail that 2 months is not unreasonable.

[@schlappesaascher]

What amazes me is the fact that at some points in his videos I, a clueless hobbyist, am thinking 'Wouldn't there be a better tool/way to do just that?' and then he just goes ahead and makes it all work out seemingly easily. Really goes to show you how much skill and experience mean to produce masterful outcomes. True craftsmanship, fullest respect!

[@oilcitywoodworks]

Great video. A safety reminder is always good. Thats why they have toolbox safety meetings at work every day. When I was in college, I was a framing carpenter. One day it was late in the afternoon and we were trying to finish this house and I was ripping a 2x4 down the middle on a 45 bevel to add dead wood to a bay window. I was rushing and didn’t nail it down to the saw horses as usual and instead held it in my hand and proceeded to cut the fingerprint pads off of two of my fingers. You could see the bone on those two fingers as the pads were gone. Thankfully the fingers were still “full length” but the injury was super painful and took months for my pads to grow back.
