Joinery repair lesson in this video! I take two damaged muntins out and replace them with some new ones. Fun little project. Did two actually, the first one took a couple of hours. Second one 45 minutes.
I want to encourage you to learn joinery. The historic house community is calling you - they need soldiers in the Artisan Army equipped to serve. I hope you use this video to that end.

I dig this video. Fascinating process. I wonder if your methods are just a bit overly destructive to the frame. But I must also admit I could not do better, or even come close. Thank you sir for sharing 🙏🏽

@WoodWindowMakeover 26 дней назад

Well you have to get it apart somehow.

Interesting, this is the first time I've seen a pinned bridle joint construction. Is that something you have come across often? Nice work btw 🍻

@WoodWindowMakeover 27 дней назад

Thank you 🙏. Pretty much all 1920s era sashes are pinned this way. Earlier ones might have wood pegs.

@zeuszuki6698 26 дней назад

@@WoodWindowMakeover over here in NZ 1920s era sashes tend to be wedged mortis and tenon, that's why I found the bridle joint interesting. Cheers 🍻

How many hours does a repair like that take you? And do you charge for your time or a price? Over in the UK, love your videos and have learnt a lot

@WoodWindowMakeover 27 дней назад

Thank you 🙏. No I get a set price to restore a sash. Granted, the price increases with every muntin. But it’s a fixed price. After a while there’s only so many things that can go wrong with a sash and you learn to compare the cost of restoring to building one from scratch. If it’s too far gone and it costs more to restore it than make a new one, they most often get a new, authentic replica, true to form. This one took me a couple of hours. The second one only took 45 minutes. But that is the way it is. First one always takes longer. Second one is faster, third faster and so forth.

Do you recreate the interior profile with a router? If yes, is it difficult to find a bit that matches the old profile?

I see a Stanley rabbet plane on your bench?! Did u use it on this job? Please dont withhold information sir! signed, fellow window rebuilder.

@WoodWindowMakeover 24 дня назад

Ah! That is a Stanley 55 mounted with a sash cutter. I gave it an honest try but have to admit my lack of mastery there. I did try. I need a lot more time with it to begin to unlock its secrets.

Any suggestions on how to repair a bowing meeting rail where the lock is? Is full rail replacement the only option?

@WoodWindowMakeover 26 дней назад

There’s a person in Sweden that I’ve seen do it. Usually I just replace it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OoTztO0q9UE.htmlsi=RGHokfkP_sQXUgSQ

I have a bowed meeting rail I’m working with now. I’ve been wrapping it in a moist towel and clamping it straight. Seems like it’s working. Over the length of 31 inches it was bowed out 1/4 inch a week ago. Now it’s down to less than 1/8 inch. Not being very aggressive with the clamps for fear of breaking it.
