Also, the side pieces are thinner. Again cut a 2x4 slightly longer
than the distance between the two angle pieces, and glue it
lying down in the jig at the top.
Glue another 2x4, cut long, vertically at the top of the window.
The window frame is now complete.
Now we will finish the double-hung window. Again using a 2x4,
cut it to fit, and place it in the center of the window; glue in
place using MEK.
Glue another 2x4 over the piece you just installed, but be sure
it is the full width of the window.
Glue a similar piece at the top of the window.
Glue two 2x4 pieces vertically on the top window. This com-
pletes the second of the double-hung windows inside the win-
dow frame.
You have now finished one double-hung window. Notice that
the top window is outside the bottom window, just as it is on a
real double-hung window. If you think about it, it’s very easy to
build this window with the bottom window open; you even can
open the top window.
For window glass is use Microscale Kristal Klear; I like it
because it puts the window glass in the window, not in front or
behind it.
This is just one example of the kinds of windows you can
build in these jigs. Your windows can be single-pane, or
divided-light. All windows in Frisco depots were divided-
light, 6-over-6 double-hung windows. These are made the
same way, except you use 1x2s and 2x2s on edge to make the
divided lights. These are difficult but not impossible to make;
