I'm a workshop joiner of 30years plus ,served my time on doors,windows,bay windows ,sliding sash windows ,door frames .Worked with the old Whitehill heads and flying cutters coming out. Great to see a lad as talented as you Ollie (think I've got that right lol") explaining brilliantly. Working with marking rods and cad in tandem 👏 excellent. And yes we've all cercome to forgetting about set back and rebates.Course workmates never let you forget that lol😅.Great spindle moulder work a scarcity today with cncs .Never seen that take on a scribe🙂 .I'll be using it somewhere 😊. See can teach a ole dog new tricks. Keep up the good work lad your a credit to the dying trade 👏👏👏👏

[@BradshawJoinery]

Cheers buddy! There is always something to be learnt from everyone! The old whitehill cutters are luckily dissapearing somewhat, no need to put your safety at risk now is there! Ahh the setback! It took me years to drum it into my head. lol

[@antonywoolway3771]

Thank god there’s still tradesmen out there that make things properly i thought I was a dying breed Keep up the good work

[@BradshawJoinery]

Antony, great work and thankyou for the comment buddy. There are a few I know with traditional joinery knowledge but very few In the next generation that I can see. Plenty know how to use a paslode and decorators caulk...

Learnt so mush from this video, thanks so much for sharing your expertise!

[@BradshawJoinery]

No problem! thankyou!!

All your videos are like a master class, thanks so much. You made the chiseling of that curve look way too easy :)

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thankyou Christopher great to read :)

I made my first window frame a few weeks back. I learned this the hard way by doing the first one wrong and having to repeat it. The second one was better but i wish i had seen this first. Top video, thank you.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice one! There is a window series in my playlists

[@petedavies4796]

think I've indulged on all your videos now really enjoyed them waiting for the rest lol

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha, thanks Pete, they are a little slow coming as im so busy, but bear with me!!

[@vincentrolfe1384]

Thanks Quoted a 7' X 42" wide X 2.375 entry door the other day and the project was already let. Would have had to watch your vid herewith many times to get the joinery correct. haha

[@BradshawJoinery]

Nice one! I hope it was of some help

[@drewbyscoobywho]

Great video! As a furniture maker, I always find external doors and windows a bit intimidating, but this has helped. Really looking forward to more like this! 👍👍👍

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Andrew, appreciate the comment, ill try and keep the videos coming..!!

Hi, Just a quick note from a recent subscriber. I'm loving your channel!

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Brad!! Next video in progress!!

[@petedavies4796]

Another great job there Mate, you lost me till 3/4 the way through the video as to what you were trying to achieve it was only when I saw the 45' gauge to cut the moulding that I clicked what you were doing lol. Just started building the exact type of frame some great tips there.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha, old video this one! pleased it helped in the end and good effort for watching that far!!

[@davydmir6565]

Really enjoyed this! Can't wait for more!

Thanks David, working on a external pattern 10 door video at the minute, keep an eye out for it soon!

Thanks Neil buddy

Very enjoyable watch. Good to know these details can be scribed by hand. Being new to woodworking, would you be able to do these on a router table by having the opposite blades from the profile as it is similar to spindle moulder. I am slowly working my way through your library. Next casement windows. Want to make my own one day. Where did you learn your trade?

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Lee, yes how it would have been done originally. I learnt at a small joinery shop where we made anything that came through the door. a good start in joinery!

Hi Frank, thankyou for the encouragement, definitely inspired me to do more like this now!!

[@richardpenswick9784]

Mate that was amazing, learnt loads thanks. Look forward to more

[@BradshawJoinery]

Thanks Richard, it means a lot!! It's my first attempt at trying to teach anything/explaining on video so hopefully as I get more confident the videos will get better.

[@garyhiggins4722]

Hi, Nice work. What are the benefits of putting a bevel on the face of the joint and using kodrin sealer, as opposed to just keeping face of joint flush.

[@BradshawJoinery]

HI Gary, thanks, The idea is that there is no sharp corners, where coatings come to a point on sharp edges they thin out, the rounded edge helps the sealer with this and also creates a v shape profile, which allows more joint sealant into the joint. The bigger the cross section of sealant the more movement it can accomodate. So if the timbers move/crack slightly at the joint, the sealant in the v groove should accommodate this, whilst still being adhered to the two rounded edges of the joint. if they were 2x square surfaces sanded flush, there is practically zero movement in the joint before a crack appears and letting water into the end grain/joint. It seems backward from traditional joinery that you create a gap in a perfect joint, but the results speak for themselves. id fully recommend the Sikkens V groove sealant and end grain sealer.

[@garyhiggins4722]

@@BradshawJoinery I was thinking along those lines, might use it on windows, probably keep door joints flush. Most people dont realise the amount of work that goes into quality joinery, and therefore the hardest part is getting the right clients who will pay. They are out there . Keep going good work.

[@rivergate]

I always thought my spacial ability was good; yours must be amazing. I can see it would take many many attempts for me to even get close to an assembly without stray holes and gaps. Very nice work.

[@BradshawJoinery]

Haha, it gets easier with time. I remember as an apprentice setting out joints and intersections in doors and frames was mind blowing. Especially when you get awkward frames that have open in doors and outward opening casement windows as a combination. If I don't make something for a while it's very easy to make a mistake!

[@adriangeraghty6626]

Hi nice to see a professional joiner . You work very safely. Can i ask do you have any problems with the accoya timber ? Im finding hard to get a good glue and i get a lot of splits . Regards from Ireland..

[@BradshawJoinery]

Hi Adrian. There have been some increased problems with shakes/splits but it's not too bad now. Maybe you got a bad batch and if so I'd suggest returning the pieces for replacement. Latham's where j source my Accoya will guarantee the quality on it. Glue, I use PU from a cartridge, or aliphatic resin. PU glue works best if clamped/pressured. 👍 Biggest hurdle is assembling complicated things before it sets!

[@adriangeraghty6626]

@@BradshawJoinery Many thanks for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately most of the shakes ect only showed up after sanding which is another problem i discovered you cand over sand it or the hard grain will show through when painted with water based paint. Iv a lot of up and down sash windows coming up im still very nervous about using accoya i might just stick to using iroko. Looking forward to your next videos best of luck to you. Adrian
