Do you have plans for building the easel Israel uses to paint the sashes?

[@ikust007]

The blue tape ..? To prevent paint on the ferrule? Ok you said it : thank you Israël.

[@alexlatiff4198]

You guys are great! What did he use on the first minute of the video to archive the best quality paint?

[@WoodWindowMakeover]

I’m not sure what you mean. Can you rephrase the question?

[@burtgonsalves2552]

Would you kindly share the measurements and material list of your glazing easel? Thank you!

Isn't lightweight spackle only recommended for interior use?

[@marcuscrane6955]

So best time to spackle before primer after oil based primer old house sash windows and siding with a oil based bonding primer. Next ? Paint thinner? Or mineral spirit thin? Last? So penatraing wood old does it harden help the wood and sash?

Why did he paint the bottom of the sash - is that a WWM best practice? Others say oil it but don’t paint to let it breathe/drain.

I can’t say definitively what’s best. I know at least one person who says he’s a master craftsman but actually isn’t, who says what you just said, but the truth is that it’s debatable and good reasons on both sides. As a matter of fact, one of my new guys didn’t paint the bottoms of a set of windows we did and I let it go just as an experiment. I think it’ll be fine. Truth is that there’s a weep hole in the bottom and a through tenon on the side where water can escape, plus a large percentage of sash come into the shop with bottoms painted, so who knows? It’s not a point I am terribly rigid on…
