Hi,
I have a 1920's home that has sah and casement windows that have a
million coats of paint on them. Rather than struggle trying to strip
lead based paint I was considering making replacements so I'm lookig
for a site that will show plans and techniques for building sash and
casement windows. Any and all help appreciated.
I'd sure investigate the paint-stripping first if the windows are in
good shape otherwise--for one thing, they (I assume) are the originals
and there's value in that--at least for many.
If you decide to build/replace, two sources of info I recommend...
1. Delta has a good publication (sorry, I don't have it at hand to give
part no) that has full discussion of "cope and stick" construction...
2. CMT has an instruction sheet w/ their window sash router bit set that
isn't quite as easy to set up/use, but is more attuned to use of router
vis a vis shaper...this one is online...
