I really appreciate all the input, positive and negative. I haven't been by this site in a while, but I'm amazed at all the expertise here. I think I posted it this morning. Thanks for all the...

Thanks everyone for the help!

Anderson does not. They are composite/wood. Pella does not. I will check out Marvin, thanks for the tip.

Dude here posted a nice pdf. It says there is an epidemic of companies trying to help...

Thanks for the advice



Sophie is the kitty in the picture. She wants me to open the window for improved bird viewing. There is a screen. We get a little of the desert effect here: it can be...

I'm sure it is better at knocking out sheet goods for sure.

I would CAD/CAM it up. I don't do much hand calcs these days unless I'm slapping together something temporary.

I thought you get get divided light with inserts between the panes.

The glazing...

Funny I've seen lots of guys show pictures of mortises they made on them. I don't see any features that can't be done.

I have a CNC router and I can stand them up to do the ends. I'm thinking I can do all that work on that machine, no? I was just going to pick up a table saw to get the blanks the right size.

People do whatever in the backyards. Front of the house...

don't need wavy glass. Looking for double pane. the windows are very drafty. Our heating bill last winter was worse than when we lived in Iowa! Multiple issues, like they didn't insulate exterior...

Good question. If the frames can be corrected to be square maybe that would reduce some work.

Here are a couple photos to give you an idea of the work.

There are still a couple local sources I need to ping before asking guys to drive 3-4 hours to quote, but thanks. Just trying to get a handle on if I want to try myself. The upside is I learn a new...

Anderson:
"Wood protected by Fibrex® composite exterior"

Or is it a fiberglass window with wood flair inserts?


Might be able to get away with it.

I can't run wood in my VMC. No dust system. CNC router gets the wood parts. I wouldn't use pine... Just to do a couple, I don't think the wood cost will be much so I'd get hard wood. Local flake...

I haven't found a company that makes 100% wood windows. At our last place we had a couple replaced and they were Milgard. Milgard has discontinued them and they along with many(all as far as I can...

I was thinking to use the dividers in between panes. I'm thinking the can be made that way from the glass supplier, but not sure. Yes the plan would be to do a couple and see how it goes. Thanks...

Hey all,
I have an old house in a historic district, so windows have to be 100% wood. The existing windows are single pane, not square, don't seal and many are painted and caulked completely...

the "cutting aluminum" update is interesting. It's interesting that the right side of the deign comes out before the left, indicating the table isn't flat. Then it take a dozen or so passes to cut...

I don't see your point. The drum size in that example is 8". I never claimed the exit would be larger.. not sure how that would be possible. My point is this is a dust collector with overall...

How do you know it needs to be larger? There are many designs of dust collector out there that are actually smaller, and like the Thein, work from centrifugal force.

My is entirely homemade. I have a duct in from the tools creating dust, and another duct out to the blower motor. I can take a picture if you're interested.

I made one using a tub I got at the farm store, not a garbage can. It works and is a smaller diameter, 22" or so. What diameter do you have?

I used to use mineral oil on my cutting boards until I realized it's made from petroleum. Banned from food use in the EU.

I don't buy the "safe when cured" for a cutting board as you'll be...

I was going to ask, if you could only have one, which would it be. Seems like the answer is planer. I have plenty of projects to do. A dresser being one of them. My main issue is if I get a board...

I've never owned or used one. If I get one, I assume it will take the warp out of boards. My main question is how good is the surface when done. Does it still need to be sanded or can you get it...
