Making window sills

- Making a set of windowsills with handcarved curved moulding for a customer's restoration project. They will go in an apartment from about 1910, and had to be custom made to fit the non-standard window openings. I didn't do the install and paint on these, I was only tasked with the manufacture of the sills, but I got some photos of the finished thing which can be seen at the end of the video.
I'm no professional and I don't have anything to teach, this is just me, sharing my thoughts and my work. Join me as I'm learning fine woodworking!

"I'm no professional" and yet you got Old School Professional results using some tools most carpenters would not even recognize anymore. Bravo
I could never make a living taking the time to make sills this way. However, I sure admire your tools, work bench and your old-world craftsmanship. Please continue to share!!
I decided to build the tool rack you have over your bench. I love how simple and effective it is. Thank you.
Hi Gillis , you have a great skill and understanding with your workmanship , this type of work takes time and knowledge you have shown all and I have learned a great deal
Thank you for sharing gratitude from down under Australia /Sydney . looking forward to see more on your channel in future .
You are a very skilled and talented young man. I love to watch your videos. I look forward to many years of watching you grow in your craft and life in general. I love spending time with you here on RUclips. Keep the Good Times Rolling.
Good job, man!
I love all the different sounds from the wood being worked on - keep up the good work!
Thanks Ludvig! Your english is so professional!
I was hoping you would show your work installed. It's nice to see a youtube wood worker who actually makes a living at his craft, as opposded to someone just making a living youtubing.
Thank for watching, Kiki! I show it installed at the very end, those photos that my customer provided is all I have. Afraid I'm far from making a living on this, that's the dream though!
As odd as this may sound, I'd love to see it in real time and hear what you used and why as you made it. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, that's cool to hear. I don't know if I'd have enough interesting things to say to fill out a real time video, haha! But my newer videos have more of my thought process included, with in-the-moment commentary, if that'd be sort of what you're looking for.
I would recommend to cut the boards to 60-100 strips and glue together , switching over year ring directions, avoiding such wide boards, which are not radial, to crook or warp. I admire though your hand craft and patience.
I guess that would have been an option since these were going to be painted, but hardly worth it, right? Orienting the growth rings correctly (outside of the tree facing down) and fastening with one row of screws down the middle should prevent them from warping once installed. The customer hasn't complained in the almost 2 years it's been, at least :)
Totally captivating. I would like to know your story, and how you learned these amazing skills. Fun to watch a Master at work.
Thanks! I'm just watching other youtubers and doing my best :)
Thanks for sharing that
Love those sills! I made some myself as well!
Thank you! Cool, I'll check it out
Tack för videon. Hälsningar fran Tyskland
Tack för att du tittade!
@@GillisBjork gillar att hända
Bra video! kul att se hur man kan använda den rundade profilhyveln. Vad är det du använder på kvistarna?
Tackar! Det är linoljespackel, eftersom de skulle målas var jag inte så noga med att undvika urrivning.
How do you get your plane blades so sharp?
I sharpen freehand on water stones. There are many videos from Wood by Wright, Paul Sellers, Rob Cosman and many more who are far more qualified than me to give advice on this :)
The ending was so sad!!! Why would they paint over such beautiful work.
That circular saw seems like cheating.
A planer would be nice
We call them WINDOW BOARDS IN uK........sILLS/CILLS ARE BOTTOM RAIL OF A FRAME.
That's interesting, I had never heard that before but in swedish they are called fönsterbrädor which literally translate to window boards. I don't think sills is incorrect though, googling "window sills" all the image results are this type of thing, including pages from the UK.
@@GillisBjork I hope my answer was of use Gillis,They are made with a tongue that fits in a groove on bottom rail of frame.My last work was in my own joinery shop....long gone now.
