Hi Ollie, you cant get a better testimonial then a client coming back to you after nine years wanting some of the same thing and the original piece still looking amazing, well done mate.

[Jock-mjzd]

I've got 10 box sashes to make this month, so I'm absolutely delighted that you've decided to make this video. Looking forward to poring through the Sketchup drawing and comparing how you do things to how I was taught. I can already see some improvements that I will incorporate into my own work!

Thank you for going to the effort of documenting your work.

[FinishCarpentryTV]

Thanks for making this. Really helpful information.

No surprise sash windows are pricey! Wonderful masterclass, thank you! 👏👍😀

[thomasnourse]

Your craftsmanship is breathtaking! I’m in serious awe!

Hi Oliver, Hope you have a great 2023. As always I enjoyed the video and there are dozens of ways to make sash windows, very few "Wrong ways" as you know. When I make them I make the pully stiles 12mm wider than the finished width and run a 6mm rebate each side (outside and inside of PS) and groove the outside and inside linings to accept the tongues on the Pully stiles so everything locks into the right place when assembling the box, no measuring for the offsets etc. I use the Mighton bubble carrier and bubble, machine a 7mm groove each side of the stiles (outside and inside faces) so the bubble draught excluder is hidden behind the staff, part beads. It works really well and been doing it for over 10yrs. Aq21 in the top and bottom rails and Pile carrier with pile in the meeting rails.
Great channel matey and keep up the good work. Another thumbs up fro Mighton, I only use their products and look forward to the little bags of sweets they often put in the delivery boxes. Their paint is good too, maybe you could do a video on their finishes.. 🙂

Truly impressive - great placement of the draught strips.

An Open University Sash Window presentation 😉👍🏻
Excellent explanation Oli.

[virtualfather]

WOW! What a great gift. That was an excellent video.

[benjaqsonworkshop]

Really interesting illustration and explanation. The glazing rebates were particularly useful for me. Cheers.

[richt]

This is really insightful. Thanks so much!

Over the course of a few years I've been restoring some of the sash windows in our Edwardian house (also using Mighton products throughout!). As a total amateur I've learnt an awful lot, but still have a long way to go! It's been a lot of time consuming work, making do with the basic tools I have and often fighting terrible weather. Seems a bit mad, as I've come to realise that they'll probably all need replacing shortly anyway with double glazed units. But I'm sort of addicted to it!

These videos are dangerous as they're tempting me into making my own replacements. Really looking forward to seeing the installation process as I know nothing about that. The repairs I've been doing have all been in situ. Oh, and yep, Mighton are great to deal with. Even nice enough to include a packet of sweets with all of my orders! haha

[normanjones]

So frustrating, I've just spent £6000 on jms as I could find nothing to do this for me... Fantastic content yet again buddy, I have learnt lots from you.

[SantiagogranadosR]

Thanks so much to you and Mighton for the video and the serie. Enjoyed it a lot. I’ll check the Patreon page. Cheers!!!

Here in the US it's difficult to find information on these types of windows and your high level of joinery/cabinetry. The ones that do know do not post such detailed explanations on youtube and there's not enough literature around on it. I would gladly pay money for the hard work you put into sketchups. Such a good learning tool. Make more if you can.

[mattcable]

Wow, super excited to see this video thanks Ollie (hope you're well btw). As a box maker...albeit pretty boxes, I'm really interested to see this. I'm fine on doors, get all confused on staircases, but never tried box sash. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I haven't watched it yet but saving it for a quiet afternoon. I'll ping you cash on Patreo or whatever as a thankyou. Kindest, Matt

[richardmarkham]

Great video and a good update on the video from 4 years ago. A quick question: Would the thickness you use on meeting, top and bottom rails change for a bigger window? I have a sash where the bottom window is 1000x1250mm so a double gazed unit is going to be quite heavy.

[ianwatson]

Another great video, thanks Ollie. Wish I'd had access to this before I refurbished my 3 windows - it would have been great to incorporate some of your refinements.

[wingding]

i make sash windows myself but its always good to see how other people do things never know what you might learn i started up my workshop two and a half years ago so always trying to learn new things . over here in ireland the full sill is very rare its mostly stub sill

[adriandeb]

Thats an amazing drawing, i have been trying to use sketch up but not had much luck, I will keep trying,

[BMAK]

Great video series, much needed. Do you have any recommendations for where we might get the double glazed glass please?
