Making and fitting a picture frame window

[@LuigiRosa]

In Italy changing the window size of an historical building would require a lot of paperwork and a NO from the authorities. Lucky you!

[@tommorrison4189]

Stone blocks are still used in house building today in the north of England and it looks like the kitchen was extended at some time maybe in the 70's so using stone would be the choice of the owner as the use of brick next door show. Both would need planning permission from the local council. The insulation of a window would be OK.

a lovely picture frame window, great wide angle view of the scrap cookers!

I don't know how any of the tools work, what the words mean, what the purpose is, but I cant stop watching. It's like listening to music without knowing the names of the instruments or how to read the score, its just beautiful.

@@stephenyoud6125 I am sorry you lost that. I am glad you can still enjoy the music though.

[@stephenyoud6125]

@@Warriorbox I still manage some things one handed like modifying loudspeakers and making up new cables for the home cinema room just need o be creative either how to clamp and hold things like holding the solder in my teeth while soldering

There are a lot of great woodworking channels on KZbin, but none of them can compare to Russ' craftsmanship, detail, tool skills, and production quality.

Amen.

I've never thought router tables as particularly scary tools but holy moly that huge router was extremely scary.

[@stevenkirby7478]

Good to know there's still some out there who are true artisans.

[@northerngirl4666]

The little slots in the tenon thingys and then the pretty little hand-made wedges for a perfect fit killed me!

[@mcc19606]

That's not a window, it's a work of art.

[@RomantiCynic]

Thanks, Russ! I've been jonesing for a dose of epic New Yorkshire Workshoppery 😅 Yet another mesmerizing example of planning, attention to detail, and craftsmanship that crosses over into artistry. Merry Christmas to you and the family. May 2024 bring nothing but peace, joy, and love to all of you!

[@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!

[@kathmandoo]

Excellent work. That window frame is never going to come apart

[@troystaten5633]

Beautifully done, should last several lifetimes.

[@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.

[@hamongog]

Here the thing: this content is next-level in every way. Watching this is like going to the opera or Seeing a Broadway play. I realize it's not everyone's thing but that doesn't diminish the quality. Like when you go to a really good lecture or presentation... I walk away from each of these and think to myself how much richer my life is because of the experience. Honest to God this is one of my favorite channels! I can't tell you how unbelievably impressed I am!

[@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.

[@martinmoss317]

Made my day waking up (in the US) to a new video from you.

[@panzermanful]

Never has so much been thought without a word being spoken

[@harmarka5462]

The magnificent vista through that picture window is something to behold

[@saintsi6997]

Genius. please don't leave it two months between video. I'm beginning to bite my finger nail in anticipation. Well done on video quality and building skills.

[@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.

[@t.e.roberts7851]

If US politics received as much thought, skill, and respect as your window frame, we Americans could see a fine present and future. Have a wonderful holiday.

Happy Wife, Happy Life. We have all been there with that one Russ!

[@horatiohornblower868]

Congratulations, Sir! You are a real craftsman. No doubt the missus was very pleased with her new kitchen window.

[@Kopsu87]

Such a cool video. You are one talented individual.

[@ThePanickedMonk]

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.

[@richardwalther883]

I love your style, custom builds CNC Nibbler, yet clenches butt and uses a framing hammer to nail in window beadings. Goonies never say die.

[@mybiz6190]

I love your commentaries! Funny! Also, I haven’t heard you utter a single cuss word. Admirable. It’s a joy to watch a master craftsman do his stuff even though it’s something I have not the skill, tools, or desire to emulate.

[@nickhale2900]

That window looked terrible, but I love what you've done on the patio! No, seriously, top job, love the way you used a hardwood for the frame, it lends itself so much better to the stonework.

Superb video. Excellent to see a window frame made by a proper joiner. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Just be careful of debris in the wall cavity during enlarging the opening. Bridged cavities = dampness.

[@MrTapanes]

I am so ashamed that my first impulse was to throw my debris down the cavity. I know better, but it's like an intrusive thought. LOL

[@PhG1961]

Very entertaining video which I enjoyed very much! Great craftsmanship! If you allow me to make a suggestion... use masking tape to protect the wood/paint when filling the gaps with mortar. It's much easier to remove afterwards and makes it less hard to clean up the wood/paint.

[@RichieRich845]

👍 I just had to watch this again, that was a lot of work that went into this window and I'm sure it will last 100 years.

[@Tsoperi1982]

excellent craftmanship! you could have used painter's tape on the outside when u cemented the gap between window and wall to have a cleaner outcome! same as when u caulk stuff.

35:21 FUN FACT this material is also used to make HRV -- heat recovery ventilation --- you just stack them alternately (in X and Y axis --- XyXyXy) glued using contact cement --- 33x33cm / 13x13 inches or bigger (depending of the sheet size -- average is 1x2 meter) until you get like around 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) hight (or more if you want more air flow).... 2 fans , 2 air filters , box for it also from it / XPS etc and you have HRV for like 50 to 100$ PS it's not ERV so it won't control humidity---its like if you have window open all the time but where you dont lose heat because of that (ERV use silica gel in a spinning mesh wheel /or is build like that HRV but using moisture-permeable material stacked alternately) 90% of the recovery ventilation on market are those cheaper ones --- and they are HRV , , they still work , but they won't regulate humidity

Tool tip! Just in case you read these and are cutting through your wall in the future... They do make a diamond cutting blade for a reciprocating saw (spray water to keep cool) very handy for stone block and concrete blocks if you just need to remove a corner very neatly (all be it a little slowly)
