I am about to start working on a new window for my shed because the old one is rotten. I thought I was going to need to buy some tools that I don't have. But now I don't thanks to you. I can't thank you enough. Brilliant, thanks mate.
I like your presentation style. It gets to the point without unnecessary waffle, fluff and time wasting. You had my attention the whole time. Thanks, a great video
Thank you so much for posting these videos! I'm building a greenhouse with glass panes I salvaged from a tear down in my area and I have been looking for days to figure out how to make a window sash and this is the only video out there with great instructions! You rock Michael :)
Perfect for what I needed. I'm building a shed and searched for an old, 4-pane window and could not find one. I'll build one instead now. Thanks for putting it up.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for and perfect size. Just needed a little inspiration. I live in Japan and am building an extension and windows are close to 600$ for stuff that doesnt even look good so thanks for the inspiration, much obliged.
I wish I saw this before I made the window for my shed, I used a sheet of Lexan, So i would never have to repair it again, but it doesnt open, so if I ever get to it now I know how. Great Job Michael.
You'e welcome. I'm glad you found good use of my design. I built that window on the fly and it still holds up well at my workshop. Great to hear from you.
Nice work, and I like your videos...to the point and keeping it simple. I'm building a cabin for my daughter and I was looking for "how to make a window for a shed" and I need to look no further. Tx!
Great video....I just discovered your channel today and love the "keep it simple" concept and clear explanations you give. You are a good teacher. I recently built my first ever structure of any kind ( chicken coop) and learned many lessons the hard way. Anyway, I'm planning some future projects and I will certainly be watching your videos for help. Thank you very much.
Thanks to all who commented on this video. So sorry to respond so late. I am overwhelmed with the response to all of my videos and don't always find the time to respond the way I should. Thanks again, and have a great New Year to all my new friends ( from all over the planet!). I'll keep 'em comin' if you'll keep watching! MB
Thanks for sharing this footage,at 3.40 where you say 1 x strips, using spacers and maybe bigger width wooden strips, you could layer more glass,so you could make double or triple glazed windows.All depends on what the weather is like around where you live:)
@Alekcanuk Thanks, just be sure to use goggles when doing that tenon cut. And test it first with a scrap piece to make sure the depth and width is correct. I typically have to adjust a few times before moving on the the actual piece.
Glad you liked the video. My goal is exactly that; Simple, easy and good. Couldn't have said it better myself. Good luck with the window and let me know how it turns out.
If you look at where the window sits you'll notice that it is flush with the outside edge of the sill. Weather never touches the sill in this particular set up. if you want to recess the window then just angle the sill and add shims to secure.
Great video....but the window sill is flat and will trap rain & snow and eventually rot. How does one make an exterior window sill that allows rain water to drain off?
I'm sorry to ask something that is maybe obvious to those more experienced than I, but you say you tacked in those 1by strips somehow? I was hoping to know how you did that. Heh. Also, any advice for someone who is essentially wanting to make two of these and then put them together into one window where they latch, preferably to each other, and open out?
great video and he know what is he doing, very good teacher, just a advice, You should never work with glass, tools etc. wearing flip flops, it's dangerous, so he is wearing flip flops, instead of boots or even regular shoes, look at him nice feet but unsafe.
Michael, I second the question posted by Ron Todd. I think you misunderstood the question when you answered "used a stick...". I am afraid that the window would not have enough of a clearance on top for it to swing open. I would be grateful if you could address this particular issue. Thank you in advance.
@@krzywonos34 The problem is not at the top, it's at the bottom. You can either leave a larger gap to avoid interference on the out swing or bevel the inside of that bottom edge about 3°. That will provide the needed clearance.
great simple instructions. thanks michael.. now that i have the window out ,,, hummmm time to build .. any tips of how to double pane. would Really appreciate some help.. yikes ,, kitchen window boarded up! lol and the bears are waking up.. tks kate
