I'm looking for a resource for framing (not rough), joints, and details for old fashioned job built wood windows.
I can reinvent the wheel or I can use what has worked for ages.
However, findiong a resource is the problem. There are books a-plenty but mostly they deal with trim, roughing in the opening and the like as almost no one actually makes job built windows any more.
I have Gaspar Lewis' book "Carpentry" (pub 1984, Sterling Press) which is pretty good but not quite what Im looking for.
I have looked at Wiliam Spence's work. He's pretty much into helping the novice select a pre-made unit and then installing that.
Anyone got a resourse?
