Sash window info on my site at http://www.owdman.co.uk/joinery
Biggest problem is thin glazing bar with mouldings - for which you
will not find a matching router cutter. I make my own spindle moulder
cutters for perfect replica mouldings.
You can get round the moulding prob by using a plain bevel instead of
the moulding. This sounds unlikely but if the glazing bar is exactly
the same dimension as original then from a distance the lack of
moulding won't be noticed. e.g. a fine 14mm glazing bar with say 3mm
flat between mouldings - retaining the 3mm between bevels looks very
neat. Many windows were done without mouldings in this way but don't
get noticed particularly.

Hi
I havent tried it so I cant be sure, but it appears at first sight
that it shouldnt be too hard to make various shapes of router cutting
blade to fit a block. They would only be steel, not TCT, but should
still do the job ok. How to do you carve a bit of steel to shape?
angle grinder. Might sound crude, but if I can make good performance
drill bits with nothing more than an angle grinder I would think its
perfectly doable. A finer grinding wheel would be ideal for shaprneing
it, but even there I've used the grinder and produced a sufficiently
sharp edge to give a good result.
