There is much more to windows today than just a few panes of glass and a
wood frame. Most modern windows
have (at least) two panes of glass separated by an argon gas filled space.
This creates a real good thermal barrier that saves money on heating/cooling
costs. Moreover, most modern windows have a silver coating on the glass
(called LoE or LoE2) which is a coating that filters UV rays. If your
looking for a way to save money, building your own windows is definately not
the way to do it. However, if your looking to make some replacement windows
to keep your century home as authentic as possible then go for it, simple
double hung windows are not much more difficult to make than cabinet
oors. --dave

Has anyone made their own windows for their house? Seems not too
complicated with the right molding cutters and a source for
double-paned glass.
