Default Window frames for the non-woodworker - ie me!

I want to try and make some simple windows frames to replace the ones
falling to
pieces in the garage windows. When I say frames it's not the actual
frame - just
the window panel itself that opens. Basically it's a frame with a rebate
running
around one edge so I can mount the glass in it. What I'd like to know is,
should
I take the lengths of timber and cut the rebate along the entire lengths
first?
Or should I make up the frames (just rectangles) and cut the rebate
aftwards.
Or, thinking about it, cut the pieces to length and rebate each piece
before
making them in to a frame?
Yes, your right I'm not much of a woodworker :-)


whats a rebate?
take it i'm worse than you then
