Nice tools! But really the wood used will make the window warp in no time. Best is to use laminated hard wood with grains opposed and then do the magic with the tools. I think with the cost of hardwood windows in the UK today it is well worth doing it yourself.
I looked at the video. this is our old windows. does not meet the requirements. I 68mm double standard eurofalcos window manufacturer. The lock used before this hollow aluminum template where you can get it?
aren't these mounted backwards or do windows open to the exterior in the UK? The tooling looks well made but these windows resemble what they used to make 60 years ago here in Belgium with just a single contact point between frame and casement. The norm has been 3 contact points for decades here which drastically improves insulation. Also the stiles of the frame and casement in this technique have end grain below exposed to moisture which cause the windows to rot, that method has been abandoned here long ago.
Timothy Wilmots yes windows open outwards to the exterior in the UK. If the windows are dripping wet after heavy rain, who with the frame covered in snow, who would want them opening inwards? The film is to demonstrate the versatility of the machine in making a window frame. Frames haven't been made like this decades in the UK either, especially out of softwood with our weather. We mainly use double glazed UPVC Windows and doors now.
I am a joiner and this is way too many tooling changes. It would take forever to make a window with this system. Also at 6.58 there is no support when exiting the cutter block that machines the front sections that have a taper. The last part will drop into the block and snatch. Dangerous and would never carry out this way.
How useless. It seems the point is to show off your professional equipment. Is this for professionals or to help those like me who need to cut heat loss in winter at single glazed windows.
Hi Peter Gorham, thanks for your comment however I'm not sure I get your point? We sell most ratings of tools & machinery from hobby to trade to industrial. Please also bear in mind that this video was uploaded over 6 years ago and we no longer stock this specific window tooling set.
