Windows and doors - 5
7. Here are some examples of
windows and doors that I made
using the jigs. They still need to
be cleaned up.

8. I have a glue station that I store
my Tenax-7r and MEK bottles
in. By having a large recessed
stand to put them in the chances
of knocking one over is greatly
reduced.

Glue
For glue, I use
Tenax-7R and MEK,
(Methyl-Ethyl-
Ketone). MEK is the
same as Testors’
Liquid cement, but
I purchase it by the
gallon at a paint
store.
For building struc-
tures, I also keep in
stock Evergreen’s
clapboard, drop-
siding, and board-
and-batten styrene
sheets.
Let’s start
by building a
double-hung
window.
Open a package of
Evergreen styrene
#8206, which is HO
scale 2” x 6” lum-
ber. Eyeball-measure
two pieces and mark
them with a pen-
cil. Cut them in the
modified Chopper,
and place them ver-
tically at the top and
