Return To Timber Casement Windows - KB#2

[@shanewiltshire5869]

It blows my mind how James lays blocks, plasters etc and also capable of joinery shop level carpentry. Genius

[@matthewhook3375]

Not to mention bathroom installations, digging soakaways/drain trenches etc, pitching roofs... A true all-round builder who just gets on with whatever job needs doing at the time.

[@philipjones9297]

You would certainly be happy to have them two working on your home

[@gordonlamb6034]

Excellent tips and great craftsmanship. I learnt a lot from this video. Many thanks

[@jimichip]

Thanks for watching.

[@Thespecialone1970]

Great work James and Ian! Really interesting watching you guys come up with an affordable way of making casement windows that are good quality.

[@leighdamian]

Great Video.Everyday is a learning day.Lovely to see someone who takes pride in their work.Well done James and Ian.

[@petercrowther6407]

Excellent, very good tutorial and very good to watch.

[@michaelchapman4269]

Fantastic work there's no end to these guys talents, really enjoyed watching thank you

[@philipvale1674]

Hi I'm retired 68 years old I remember making two windows using hand moulding hand plane and then I went onto this system what you're using . After a year or so I managed to purchase a Watkin a.k.a. tenoning machine and spindle moulder , keep up the good work it should look very nice , on your router table you have a sliding fence on the fence your notice to slot you and screw a piece of wood to the section which will go up against the fence of the router fence itself so when you do a scribe cut it prevents the break out ., a little bit of warning please wear goggles and a face mask if anything flies off the saw or router it will hurt and you could either lose your site or do some serious damage good luck I'm sure it will be a fantastic job regards Phil retired from the Moulin in France

[@jimichip]

philip vale thanks for the comments and advice Phil it’s much appreciated. James.

[@thomasreed49]

I am a carpenter you have my greatest of respect👌

[@jimichip]

Thanks mate.

[@yogisteve393]

It's really nice to see what to do when things are out of square and when a mistake with the cutting is made. That's what I like to learn about. Cheers

[@rossmcleod7983]

This has been just the ticket. About to build my casement windows and need to tool up, so appreciate the tool list and the how-too.

[@jonfenwick6200]

Yeah, great video. Im always learning and im just hooked to watching these lads crack on. All the SB lot. Top jobs guys

[@jag251080]

I’ve dominoed thousands of windows together now I’ve never had any comeback with the high strength of glues these days it works a treat I make mine out of Accoya wood so it’s belt and brasses but nice job guys , well done traditional joinery with up to date double glazing 👍

[@SkillBuilder]

Good to hear from someone with real life experience rather than just prejudice

[@Martin-mhm]

Looking forward to more of this project. Great guys with great skills.

[@davidhowells290]

Love skill builder. Excited about this new project!

[@RichAdamsFineArt]

Brilliant stuff. Looking forward to more of this series.

[@peterwalton1502]

Excellent video. It’s inspirational what can be more easily done with modern tools and techniques

[@joeg7537]

Great video as always. Just a tip on the router table: clamp a piece of scrap to the backside of the piece so when it is run through there is no chip-out.

[@willybigspuds]

spelch

[@markrussell9719]

Great video Roger love these videos - more please.

[@SkillBuilder]

Hi Mark We plan to pay James and Ian a visit once a week at least. Putting a camera out there every day would be great but it is expensive.

[@nigellewis4686]

No eye protection?

[@-_AjB_-]

How come you didn't follow this up with assembly and installation?

[@jonathansanders4540]

Why not add a sacrificial piece of wood behind the head and base rail mould cut to prevent tear out... hope this helps..

[@stephencarlisle3743]

Enjoy it , well done lads , look forward to seeing more vids from you .

[@christ-adams7771]

This is a great video, thanks for posting. I agree with another comment that the router table isn't great, and, in particular, the back fence and the mitre fence need careful attention. The plywood alteration is essential for stability when scribing the end of the rails, as is checking the set-up is square. One question: am I going crazy, or is there an additional slot that has to be cut (in addition to the scribe) to allow the projecting bit of the ovolo (between the rebate and the end of the ovolo profile) to fit into?

[@1958141]

Very good

[@johnberchielli672]

Great vid, is that Robin Clevitts taller double...🔨🤪

[@ukconstruction]

Not Quite!!!

[@Droningonuk]

I have this Trend router table. I think it's made from scrap metal attached to fire wood very expensive too!

[@SkillBuilder]

Yes it is horrible. James said as much when we were filming. Any suggestions on something better will be greatly received.

[@Droningonuk]

@@SkillBuilder to be honest Roger I don't get involved in routing much but I baught that table and a trend t11ek I believe at a cost of about £600 because 'it's the name in routing" the router is uncomfortable and feels horrid in the hand and seems to be poorly engineered my father's makita is far superior and a joy to hold. I will admit I'm very anal about tools and I'm honest but I know what I like and I know what I don't and always stick to what I like regardless of cost.

[@danlong6311]

I have The triton work center with the router table insert. It’s fantastic for the money. I’ve made a few wardrobe doors on it and want to try windows next ! Love the vids thanks Rodger

[@Filmchippy]

@@SkillBuilder I use a Festool CMS but you'd be lucky to find one at a reasonable price now. They were discontinued by Festool so used they are going for mega money. It's a great table if a little expensive. You can drop other modules into it too , like the saw module which turns your ts55r into a small table saw.

[@AMAN-le5dn]

Wow great stuff

[@samsingh2042]

Ive always thought that dewalt makes seriously tough tools, love dewalt, price is alway right and batteries are cheaper than the rest of the brand out there, and they run some of the best promotions in all big stores

[@darrengregory9146]

We're working on a period loft/refurb at the moment and we suggested to the client they should consider changing the replacement uPVC windows back to traditional box sashes. Fairly certain our price would have beaten a window companies by half and we're not cutting ourselves short! and with no nasty internal plastic trims in sight!! We're in the wrong business.....

[@handyjim]

great stuff

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

Instead of spending hundreds on Bessey clamps, to solve the buckling of the older sash cramp, bolt a piece of angle to it as a temporary fix. The angle can also be drilled to screw down to a bench. Joiners have been making sash windows for decades how did they manage with the sash cramp before the Bessey emerged?

[@MrSadnap]

Barffroom !

[@trevorchatfield1519]

guys what glue is that please ??

[@jimichip]

Geocel polyurethane glue.

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

You called what I call a planer or a thickness planer, a thicknesser. Every time I go to the UK I feel like my Canadian English is different 🇨🇦👍🤔

[@jimichip]

Trucker Daddy - AKA John in Québec we have Canadian friends so you’re in good hands😂

[@jn35353]

I'd have called it a thicknesser .... No planer on the one they had in the vid

How are you going to determine the energy rating or U-value for these windows?

Lol. Make it up.

Coming in a third cheaper,be careful you dont devalue the trade.

[@danielbuckner2167]

Use an epoxy grout to seal those uneven gaps with a sheet of wax paper between the fixture and grout until it cures then take the wax paper out. We do that for mounting g toilets on uneven floors for even support and avoid breaking PVC flanges from uneven loading. "Thicknesser"? Is that a real name or did you just forget the word planer? That plywood "stop" on the fence is a smart idea people should take note of. For novices, it isn't shown but unplug that table saw when making adjustments with a small piece in hand right at the blade. I know, I know, you not draft and you wont switch it on but years ago I had a cheap craftsman saw that had a failing switch that would not 5urn on or not turn off fully and sometimes you would get surprise starts. Straight to the bin after I finished that job but what if it happened the first time with fingers at the blade?

[@SkillBuilder]

Thanks for the tip about the grout. It is called a planer thicknesser. There are plenty of them on the market/

[@danielbuckner2167]

Oh you know I'm only taking the piss, as y'all say. If you use epoxy grout water wont penetrate but to save some dough you can use the same grout as everywhere else and in addition to a sealer a bead of silicone on the backside of the grout rim under your escutcheon keeps it from wicking. 😁✌🏼

[@letsgocamping88]

Don’t forget the eyes...

[@scotthuff2793]

Just a little heads up. The cut you made on the table saw is called a ' rabbit ' not a ' rebate '. That's what it sounds like to me you're saying , if I'm wrong please correct me and accept my apology

[@SkillBuilder]

You are talking American and we talk English. It is rebate.
