Planning permission wont be needed but you will still need a building notice .
An old thread here that may help ... http://woodworkuk.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1911&hilit=making+a+sash+window

Give Daltons a call . http://www.daltonswadkin.com/
They may be able to advise .

Use the mitre box you already have to make a bigger mitre box . You already have the jig so use it .

Looks like Meranti to me .

I like that ! Especially the woman in lycra

Scott and sargeant may take a look at it for you ?

The ones i have done have been in Sapele . Mainly because it matches the plywood backing better than oak would .

Bound to be something Hafele sell .

yep .. all over the world, people are being photofucketed

He's a little hottie isn't he !

Jacob had a mini max he raved about and i looked at the Record offering that seemed to be the minimax rebadged . Single phase .

I think Andy knows about the Revo .
Go for the hollow spiral , just keep trying it until you do one .

That's pretty !

I wouldn't worry about the softwood hardwood thing . It all rots if you dont look after it .
I use a router and fence to run the grooves , three or four passes and its done pretty quick .

Looking good mate !

Just applied to join .

As Bobby said , you need to adjust the metal flap .

Maybe give Peter a call https://woodworkersworkshop.co.uk/ He bought the company that used to sell them in the UK when Roger retired .

If you want a stronger joint at the meeting rail then add joggles to the sashes . That way you can use a wedged mortice and tennon . Draft proofing can be done with Mightons parting bead and brush , i think seals direct also sell gaskets etc but ive never used them .You will need to allow a bit in t...

The shiteon . Mine fell apart while using it and then fell apart some more while i didnt use it . I think i threw the pile of sh*t away in the end .

Your door will only be as strong as the rebates holding the panel in . The last time i made a reinforced door i drilled out the middle and bottom rail to take lengths of rebar . Try kicking that f**ker in !

625 for me

A High jumping shop ?

Something that size i would look into using a door blank ( fire blank ) and planting on the features .

Nice find

Curved architrave , make a template of the curve and pin it to the wood . Ring fence on the spindle moulder , close your eyes and pray !
If i'm not matching up to anything then i tend to use bearing guided router cutters to make my mouldings .

and someone who really didnt like the tax man

I like the detail above the door , i have a picture of a window like that in the workshop but its more like a cob web bowed out . One day i will make it ( i keep telling myself )
Regarding the windows , it looks like they used a very large quadrant to break up the lines on the outside of the box .

The sash being in a pocket was as result of the great fire of London, where it made it compulsory (in London only - did not apply elsewhere) to firstly recess the sash by 4", then to build it in pockets. Design development probably had a lot to do with it too. Although it was part of the build...

Never heard it being the window tax for the reason they where set back but it could be a reason . also the great fire didnt destroy the whole of london and there are properties of the same age in places all over the country , are those windows flush with the outside ? Ive had a google about and can ...

To be honest I am not a fan of spiral balances. I have only ever seen windows with spiral balances where they are broken. I am sure this is not always the case though. You could say the same for sash cords but you can replace a spiral without taking the window apart . I think it will look alot nice...

The only time i have ever seen sashes fitted with the full lining showing is on here . I'm not saying it isnt done but i think it may be an after thought when building the house or maybe a later addition to the house . If the house was meant to have sashes then it would have been built with a rebate...

Welcome Jimbo .

I use plant on beads .

Good
sh*t
Good
sh*t .

Take them to the scrap yard or leave them outside for 5 minutes and someone will nick them and take them to the scrap yard .

Top bit of kit !

Thanks for your reply and link jfc. I'd seen your guide (which is what bought me to this site) I had particular interest as I could forsee issues with in the elipictal shape of the louvers which you covered in your very good guide. Ideally I would like to create the eliptical shape with a router bi...
