  • In this video, we make a replacement window sash for a customer whose original sash is rotten. We go through every stage of construction and add some voice-over to help explain what we are doing.

    Like the old clamp, don't see them very often in OZ

      No, it's the only one like it that I have seen. Probably home made.

    I also work on sash in the UK, just wondering if the heat of the steam ever cracks the glass?? Also, how wet does the timber get? Does that cause any issues??

      Sorry, I'm not sure what steam you are referring too. Could you explain?

      @@DTJoinery apologies, I don't know how my comment appeared on your video. I had also been watching an American guy stripping putty from a sash after placing it inside a box filled with steam.

    Loved watching this! I learnt heaps.
    I’m assuming that’s WRC? I’m having a crack at replacing some 100+ year old cedar sliders.
    I’m going to use a combination of Cedar and TAS Oak. Cedar for bottom rail and oak for the rest. Do you think that will work combing two species ?

    • @DTJoinery
      @DTJoinery  Před 28 dny +1

      That's great.
      Yes, this one was WRC.
      It's fine to use different species together on things like sashes and doors. it's a little more of an issue with some furniture where shrinkage rates vary.
      Make sure you paint it well, as Tas Oak is not overly durable.

      One more question regarding the window. When glazing, is it essential to use putty when sealing and setting the glass on the external side of the window? Can I use beading like on the inside?

    • @DTJoinery
      @DTJoinery  Před 17 dny

      @thomo74
      Yes of course you can. We putty glaze because we do Traditional joinery, many other companies bead glaze their sashes.

    Thanks for sharing I enjoyed watching you work. Interesting comparison with the UK, putty glazing is now very rare as is single glazing generally only being practised on listed buildings. Can I ask what timber you are using? I like your frame cramp lovely bit of old kit.

    • @DTJoinery
      @DTJoinery  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Hi John, Putty glazing is also quite rare here, too. We do traditional work, so we putty glaze all our sashes. Being a painted sash I just used what I had already run, so styles are Western Red Cedar, top rail is Queensland Maple, and the bottom rail is Californian Redwood.
      The cramp is terrific for sashes, makes it quick and easy. I've never seen another like it, I suspect it was made by the old joiner I bought it off.

    Wow, great vid! What is the spray you use at the end to clean the glass from the putty? You don't use the magic powder like here in the states?

    • @DTJoinery
      @DTJoinery  Před měsícem +1

      It's just a general glass cleaner. Some of the old glazers used to use whiting, though I've not tried it.
