[@rabmcleod3508]

Nice work lads. Iam very jealous of your machinery in your workshop as I make sash windows for folks here in the Highlands but its all done by hand as I just dont make the money to justify the expense. Really like your work and finish and I also cant speak highly enough of Mighton who are great to deal with and have never let me down. Many thanks for taking the time to put this out.

[@stevend9960]

I hear that Rab, constant struggle to make enough to pay the bills whilst also investing in new machinery that will increase production and allow you to make more money. Keep a regular eye on ebay though, machines often come up for whatever reason. Don't buy junk beacue of the cost and hassle to fix but there are decent machines every so often. Don't actually need much for sash windows. Small spindle moulder, table saw, and a morticer will get you well on the way.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Rab, Mighton are great and so encouraging for the videos and info to be shared. hats of to them

[@lameduck3630]

A table saw, a router , maybe a morticer would get you a long way and are quite cheap.

[@rupert5390]

Many people bang on about Japanese joinery - I must say ( I’m not from the UK) traditional English joinery is bloody awesome - especially when artisans like this adapt it to modern necessities like draft seals and double glazing - incredible levels of skill - you need to be rightly very proud of your workmanship.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Rupert. Yes i agree there seems a weird fascination with japanese joinery and tools i never understood. I am proud even more so to receive such warming comments. Thankyou

[@ryananthony4840]

I agree guys, best wishes from Chicago

[@Sammy-ii9ej]

You should look at Mackey building construction publications. 100% British and beautifully detailed

[@E-E.ADVENTUREGEARS]

CAN'T BEAT JAPANESE PRECISION

[@beetuberslife.4960]

I just to admire to a carpenter that mainly did trim work and cabinetry (sadly he died during corona virus) I remember telling him I would like to work with him to master my skills, it never happened. For what I saw on the video you guys really are top of the line, congrats.

[@jeffreywarner6792]

When l was apprenticed in a joiners shop in the 60's,we did all the cutting of joints and mouldings by hand,and felt very very satisfied when l actually finished my first one.l'm 78 now but it is very satisfying to have been able to make things like that.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Ji Jeffrey! Different times then! I often have thoughts of imagine doing this by hand, Grounding!

[@Coleen_West]

Very very Nice! -- SUGGESTION -- There is a noise in sash windows arising from the balance weight moving as the window opens and closes. Try putting a sock or FELT fabric of some sort over the weight before installing it. You will be amazed at how silent it becomes. Massive change and makes the window seems much more quality as sound plays a large roll in perception.

[@zephyr1408]

I am a solid finish carpenter & learned from a Dad who built custom (I mean custom I am standing in one) homes and Spec’s. Then worked about 5/6 years for a “Millworkers license” in the states. I am a “more mature “ man but it has not stopped me! I arrive early when finishing and out work most 30 yr old easily! As John Wayne said not bragging just a fact! Can you tell me what are the critical tools I need to start learning to build windows and doors brother? I hv a great 3 hp 52” cabinet saw, big router table, small jointer & planer! Plus great track saws , hand routers plunge and trim, drills, a drill guide (expensive kit $250 bones) to drill straight plum holes I use on custom tables for haunch tenons using dowels to draw it in. Go ahead hit me with the bad news! I trust you and watch all your videos you are an incredible teacher and custom mill worker!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice to hear mate, music to my ears as i finish up 65 hours in 6 days! Your pretty much there. For doors id suggest tenon discs on a spintle moulder with sliding bed or a tenoner. Id opt for a basic tenoner like the multico tm2/3

[@brianhill1294]

Olly your quality to detail and craftsmanship is at another level, I never get tired of watching your videos. Although I’m retired now I still make the odd thing and I’m like you, getting the detail spot on is everything, even lining up the screw heads so there all the same. I’m often told I’m too fussy but I won’t change. Keep up the good work and thank you 👏👏

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Brian. Its really great to read such a comment and means a lot. Thankyou for watching and commenting. apologies it takes such a time to respond.

[@alantd44]

I can't believe you managed to make all those windows in just 30 minutes! I would have thought it would have taken much longer. Seriously though - amazingly skilful and detailed work as always.

[@dougsaunders8109]

Made me chuckle. Some people just don’t realise how muck work these projects are. I am looking at this thinking I could knock one of those out in 30 (months)

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha cheers Alan. I i could do that then i woul be competing for Geoff Bezos for earnings.

[@forrestheaney9059]

It’s really nice to see that this kind of craftsmanship still exists.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou, just about!!! Not many doing it anymore.

[@whydoihavetoify]

Beautiful workmanship, I do wish that the inside of the frame where the bottom window closes was stained like the original ones as painters see the paint and put another 2 coats on usually every 7 years so it doesn't take long before the windows get stuck, I prefer the small arc that is painted where the sill meets the frame, but that's just me, I honestly never realised how much work went into these, cracking job

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou! Yes they do get gunked up with paint, but arent the easiest to paint either.

[@whydoihavetoify]

@@BradshawJoinery I have spent most of my working life repairing and painting sash windows, I actually quite enjoyed it, but your video was quite an eye-opener and very enjoyable to watch

[@nigelknight1435]

I see the Wagtail at 6:19, a very important part, glad it's not been missed :)

[@alastairchestnutt6416]

Proper! After watching your previous videos on sash windows, I made a new bottom sash for a window in our old home, which we rent out. Worked amazingly well. Copied the original sash very carefully and it all worked out. Loved the video. Our new home was build with sliding sash windows with Mighton products. 12 years on and no problems.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thats Great to hear alistair. Reallr great thankyou!!

[@bobmartin5101]

What an amazing marriage of craftsmanship, elegance and functionality. That was super special. Thanks.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Bob, your comment is very well received.

[@als1023]

Same thoughts, thanks for posting !

[@peterwooldridge7285]

Nice... Maybe slotted screws rather than Phillips but that's just a personal preference...Good to see the screws clocked...Thanks

[@simoncarney9944]

Fantastic work as always Ollie! Whetted my appetite for the whole detailed series! 😊👍🏼😊

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Simon, Its coming, Christmas rush isnt helping...

[@paulward9151]

Awe inspiring Oliver, you never fail to amaze. Such craftmanship and attention to detail. Looking forward to watching the entire series.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Paul. I really appreciate your comment :)

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

Living in Yorkshire I've repaired my fair share of these but to see how they were built in such great detail and with such quality was fascinating. Thank you for filming it all so thoughtfully.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Ben Thats really great to hear. :)

[@terrygleeson8480]

Only yesterday while visiting Newcastle from Sydney, I noticed multi pane sashes in box-frames (as we refer to them here) used to glaze a veranda. I commented to my wife that most people would have no idea in what was involved to produce those windows. I thought to myself that as a cabinetmaker I’d love the opportunity to make one. I will show your video to my son who has just left school. It may in encourage him to be more engaged in my workshop as I consider retirement. Fantastic video. Love you work. Keep it up.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Terry, Thats really intersting, i hope your son shows an interest. All the best, Oliver

[@craigtanner6916]

Magnificent job! I love you videos! Thanks for sharing them, and all your hard work bringing these videos to us!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Craig. Its really appreciated.

[@markfroggatt591]

Top quality work there guys. People don't realise the amount of graft that goes into knocking those out. Amazing

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Mark! Yes alot of detail in them

[@jcsrst]

That is so impressive, so clean and professionally executed! I didn't think anyone was making windows like that anymore. Must be for a historic or seriously high end client! When I was getting started here in the States many years ago I cant tell you how many of these style windows I restored. It's a tried and true design, just a lot of work to maintain properly. Beautiful work!! Looking forward to the in depth series.

[@BradshawJoinery]

The house is a new farmhouse, but built to match an much loved property nearby. They are truly timeless and a pleasure to own.

[@MikeAG333]

Hundreds if not thousands of people make windows like this. They are still big business here in the UK, where we have huge numbers of ancient buildings.

[@ianseddon9347]

A work of art! I remember helping (🙈) my grandfather repairing Victorian/ Edwardian sash windows in the 1960’s parting beads and pocket weights etc. brings it all back! now with the benefit of accurate machine tools- wonderful craftsmanship, thank you for showing us.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Ian! Thats a good memory to have! Timeless windows not like modern ones.

[@classicalcarpenter4297]

Have a look at Brent Hull's take on casement windows

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks, which part am I looking for?

[@TheCrystalMoth]

Nice to see how different people have different ways of making essentially the same product

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Daniel! Yes the joy of english joinery is the variation. No 2 are the same

[@iwayini]

Excellent work. It great to see sashes without thick meeting rails. Thanks for the video!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Andy! Yes the original design details need to be retained as much as possible

[@mrnormski9005]

Really looking forward to the series after the taster. However I can't help thinking how these beautiful windows were made in Victorian & Edwardian times without the aid of equipment available now.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Norm, Yes they were, and still are. Check out Richard Arnold posts. He still makes alot of joinery by hand.

[@vincentrolfe1384]

Thanks for explaining this process to us. We now know what to look for and can extend the thought to other projects beyond windows. Being a self taught in wood I am a bit timid when I figure the extra cost here in the US. After watching your vids that fear dissolves.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Vincent. thats amazing feedback! :)

[@seanwhelan5340]

Thank you for the excellent demonstration and explanations/captions! I’m beginning to move toward custom window and door making from a couple of good years making screen and storm sashes. Having your content and instruction is helping to eliminate a lot of the anxiety about the unknown aspects of that kind of millwork. I’ll send you a beer and join your patreon soon. Best regards from Minnesota USA!

[@BradshawJoinery]

HI Sean, you are very kind thankyou. You are the exact person i make these videos for and its very rewarding to hear they are helpful. Cuffed to bits to read your comment.

[@idontthinkso666]

I hoped you charged the client a king's ransom for those amazing windows. Absurd quality, ridiculous craftsmanship, insane attention to detail. I can't stand it.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha, they are still in the lockup with delays on the build and no, they are probably too cheap. Thankyou Pat, your words are very encouraging! :)

[@adrianthompson2416]

Absolutely gorgeous work - why did I waste 42 years selling houses when I could have learnt to do that instead!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Hi Adrian, Im sure it wasnt wasted. Sometimes i wonder why i spend hours sanding little sticks in. a shed...... when i could have a normal job and life. lol

[@SoundsToBlowYourMind]

Awesome work! Your machinery is incredibly impressive, but more importantly your skill as an operator and attention to detail and ability to teach / demonstrate your process is a joy to watch! I'm having my Victorian sash and case windows restored up here in central Scotland right now with two of them (which were too far gone to restore) being replaced with new double glazed versions. I hope the manufacturers of my new windows will achieve a similar level of perfection!

[@jacquelerock6938]

Absolutely awesome craftsmanship guys. I have been wanting to rebuild the windows in my home. I live in Niagara Falls, Canada however the home was build by a bit of an eccentric Englishman 80 years ago. (I have stories.). After 80 years and some neglect in the past they need redoing. If I can get them to look even half as good as what you produce, I’ll be very satisfied. Unfortunately I don’t believe we have manufacturers like Mighton on our side of the pond, and English style craftsmanship is all but non existent. Love your workmanship and your videos. Keep up the amazing work.

[@BradshawJoinery]

THankyou so much. Its interesting to hear these stories! Im sure if you follow the series they can look identical. Im positive mighton would ship the required parts over to you if necessary?

[@johnbolwell5969]

Your customers must be absolutely delighted with the quality of that product and I shudder to think what each window will have cost. The value of the Accoya alone is going to be huge and then there is the complexity of all the machining because there are so many more processes to go through than one imagines . Can't wait for the in-depth videos. Magnificent work, thanks for sharing.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers John. They are an expensive product thats for sure, but i think add that value to the house in the finish. Thankyou

[@jrumbel]

The order of operations in making these windows boggles the mind.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou, i think, do youmean its complicated or ive got the order wrong?

[@jrumbel]

@@BradshawJoinery it's complicated. I make simple things and I have to remember what order to do each step in so I don't ruin a piece or discover I just put a bevel on what was meant to be a reference surface for another step. This was next level complicated.

[@BradshawJoinery]

@@jrumbel Yes its mind boggling as an apprentice, but quite methodical once you know the window construction :)

[@raydriver7300]

I don’t know how I missed this video. The windows are stunning and your craftsmanship is second to none. Great job: I am in awe 🌞

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Ray, I reckon your gettin' past it mate. Missing uploads.... haha thankyou

[@raydriver7300]

You’re not wrong. My long term plan is to live until the middle of next week! 🌞

[@bellybutton123456]

Cracking job, what a craftsman 👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Rob!

[@onecutjoinery5004]

Awesome work mate, not many can still make this type of window these days. I’ve just learnt how to do these recently and really enjoyed it, however we do things the old school way and we are very behind with machinery 😂

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cool stuff! Yes its a lot to learn and very specialised. Glad you enjpyed

[@williammillington-jones8242]

Very impressive craftmanship the only slight critisum is why no duplex bars in the double glazed units ?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers matey, They are not needed with thin units tbh, These are only 6mm

[@Stewart_Bell]

Very, very nice work that man (those men). As with all your projects the execution is so exacting. I am taking smug comfort in the fact you selected Mighton's as a supplier as we have just restored the 150 year old box sash windows on our house and used Mighton's products almost exclusively. We found everything we used to be of excelent quality and reasonable prices, from 2 pack filler to ironmongery. Like you, we opted for their paint and found it to be the best we'd used, although we applied ours by brush. Can't comment on durability but the application was incredibly easy. The beauty of box sash design is to be able to open both sashes to allow warm air to escape at the top and be replenished by cool air at the bottom. We finished our bedroom windows just before the scorching summer weather this year and it meant thet the room stayed surprisingly fresh at night. I would encourage anyboy who can to restore or renew rather than replace. They are beautiful, healthy and maintainable and in my opinion, a real luxury.

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Awesome craftsmanship Oli, great video - Logan

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Logan! :)

[@adrianhowell6662]

Excellent work ,from start to finish. Period doors & windows are my interest,as a joiner , your skill & expertise is second to none.keep the videos coming .Thank you,

[@DVDFHardTarget]

Having done this myself your attention to detail is fantastic, I loved the way you where admiring your work and most folk wouldnt know you where checking the sashes met flush with your hands at 29:20 :) Rare to see proper bench joinery. Well done.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Jimmy, I really appreciate the comment! Also heads up if you put the time in format 29:20 I can just click it and go straight to that point 👍👍

[@zephyr1408]

I think this is your best series! Really a great pro to pro series if you want to build a window or two before doing a big job such as yours!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks matey, The edits are intensive, but hopefully worthwhile.

[@ryananthony4840]

I absolutely love that bead profile at 4:16, my neighbor has a kitchen island cabinet with that profile and I been meaning to buy the router bit but I just realized a couple weeks ago I already have it lol.... I can achieve it by putting the smaller bearing on my 3/8" round over bit lol duh

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Ryan, Pleased you can cut the profile at no extra cost! Enjoy!

[@karob6569]

Great workmanship. I am in the process of getting quotes for 18 windows the same as these, although no bars on the glass . I have also considered building them myself as I love woodwork and have built the house the windows will be going into. The first quotes are a little over 4K (Aust dollars) so approx 2K pounds. A question that you may have answered elsewhere? but what is the 'typical cost' of a window like this, and how many hours does one window take to complete? I have the dilemma of completing them myself and saving money, but taking a very long time to get the job done. I have most of the tooling. Your video gave my just enough encouragement to have a go - but also showed me how much skill you need to do the job well. And you have great skills.

[@Quaker521]

Wow Ollie, an amazing amount of work and such precision too. They look fabulous and I'm sure your customer was delighted with the results, I would be. Such a delight to was a skilled craftsman at work and one who I hope is justifiably proud of his work. Looking forward to the detailed series. Thanks.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Hi Mate, Thankyou for the kind words. Customer not seen yet as delays in build. Videos coming soon.

[@terencecottington4273]

Simply outstanding work with a very high level of craftsmanship. Have watched many of these videos and have enjoyed everyone, watching and loving a true tradesman at work.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Terence, Thats really good to hear!

[@madeby68ostudio58]

i Love your videos, and this is amazing to see the amount of joinery and skills required to produce top quality sash windows. Hopefully this goes some way to demonstrates the skill and attention to detail required to produce windows at this standard and explain why they are expensive!!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou! i try to keep true to educating over entertainment and views, hopefully passing some knowledge on.

Nice work Oliver. I can't wait to see the other videos in the series. The trickle vent is making me wonder what it's for. I'll wait and you'll probably tell us, but if you don't, I'll ask then.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers Roy. They are just to keep the room healthy and stop stagnant air/mould. Ventilation is vital in a room.

[@bensimmons3692]

Ok. Now I’m properly excited to watch the full series. We have loads of these sash windows in our house, some need repairing and some replacing. Can you get a super subscription that calls you when you upload the main series episodes 😅???!! A little ray of sunshine after a crap weekend where I had my kapex, track saw, dust extractor and all my Makita 18v gear stolen from the garage. Thanks for brightening up the week, looking forward to seeing more of your great work fella .

Brilliant work as always. Mighton are always very professional to order from, fast deleivry, and the huge range of products is ideal.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Steven, Good to hear fellow testimonials. They have been superb

[@rrarra]

Wow, this video was a joy to watch from start to finish, thank you. I only have basic tools, what key changes might you have made with just a table saw & router? Do you reckon it can be done? Finally, I know labor is priceless, but would you reckon an estimate cost of materials would be?

[@pongo2k]

I have installed hundreds of windows, but never made one. Great vid;)

[@BradshawJoinery]

You should give it a try! :)

[@grotekleum]

I've been waiting for this, well worth the wait. One of life's satisfying things - opening and closing a well made sash window, very ASMR. Looking forward to the series. Thanks for sharing.

I love it, I use my blower for the same thing! Who needs a broom when you can blow it out the door.

[@Dazza19746]

I almost always buy something when I see Oliver’s videos! Today was a Dewalt 54 v blower! 😂 don’t know why I didn’t think of it before ( slaps himself) I was just using the little airline blower, meh ( I justified it as tool is ‘free ‘ as you get two 9amp batteries for the price of two 9 hr batteries 😜)

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha its great tbh. I just need to organise my shop more so everyhting is fixed and i can just do it more oftne.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice one mate on the blower. haha

[@martain1990]

Perfect, remember area between glass and frame should be ventilated, two holes on the sites in this case will do, otherwise after 5-10 years corners of frame will be rooten thanks to water condensation, did You try springs instead of ropes?Thanks

[@BradshawJoinery]

Fully sealed is fine with this method, I have used balances before, but the ropes are better if you can afford it and have the architecture to suit.

[@gyulabujtor7378]

Very professional work. I like windows this. I have a lot of questions. Can this shut out the stormy wind? How it can stop in a half-open state. How is it closed against external opening? I speak a little of their language.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Yes they are briliant. They balance with weights so sit at any position. Generally the frames are fitted from the inside of building against a brick reveal (lip)

[@analogkid6579]

One of those Windows needs to be Exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum - They're magnificent

[@trev2417]

Wow must 20 plus years since I’ve made a box sash window, not many about capable of making them either

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Trevor. Bring back some old memories?

[@richarddicktaylor219]

If I ever need replacement sash windows I now know where to go. No finger jointed timber & shortcuts just the best of traditional carpentry, excellent tools and some modern adhesives.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Richard, Really appreciate it!

[@hughhennessy7912]

Perfection personified. What is the function of the Wagtail - to steady the weight?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks! It's just so when the weights sit above and below each other, they hand slightly wonky. Having a guide past eash other keeps the window smooth

[@Samwise457]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou!!

[@catchepicair]

Blown away by the level of detail and precision. On a job like this I guess dialling in all the machines must take a while. Were there any oversights, errors, things you'd do differently or look out for next time?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Hi, Yeah there is a lot of time and thought goes into the whole thing. Its all fairly worked out, so nothing to do differently. i stored them for a while and the parting beads stuck int he grooves a bit so i would seperate them next time

[@kevocos]

Really fantastic craftsmanship, you have a great workshop and fair play to you, you are using it to its full potential. I feel it's almost disrespectful to ask, but in the absence of your machinery (and let's be honest, level of skill 😂) to produce the mortice & tenon joints, do you think the sashes could be assembled with dominos? Looking forward to your next upload mate.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou! I think they can but its tricky. Maybe do the holes in square timber deeper than required then machine mouldings and scribes/shoulders could work.

[@mickbanovic7014]

brillant work

[@StanOwden]

25:42 I thought you'd put draught seals on the window frames so they're invisible to the eye when you want to open the windows in the summer.

I worked at a major manufacturer of wood windows. The cost of your windows must be insane. I'm guessing 2,000 dollars minimum.

Where did you learn to do that?!? Crazy amount of perfectly executed work, and so complicated. Beautiful job Olly, great to watch too.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Joinery apprenticeship at a small but very well regarded workshop. Then a few years of developing some ideas of my own...

[@IvanTheUndertaker]

Superb. Fascinating and informative.

I'm looking forward to the next part. Please would you give links to the ovolu cutters and scribes you use for the inner box frame mouldings, and for the sashes and glazing bars. Are you using 14mm glazing units? Many thanks.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Been looking forward to this series. There is little info on this available anywhere. A lost art with the advent of extruded metals and plastic.
