Great video Tony . I hope carpentry apprentices are watching the likes of A&E , Tall Carpenter, Robin Clevitt , Skill Builder, you all show such a wealth of knowledge. Even as a 56 yr old chippy there’s been plenty of tips & new methods you boys have taught me . Thanks

Hi Kevin thanks for your kind words, I do feel the site work shop really helps all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE It certainly shows maybe all site carpenters should have to do some as part of their training, if the companies would give them the chance. Keep well hope to see you soon.
Lovely work guys 👍👍
Thank you Brian 😀
The master at work once again, what a pleasure watching a craftsman who really knows their trade. I agree with you "you can never have too many biscuits" or cake for that matter🎂😃 Well done++
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Hey Pete 🤣
Great video and a fantastic finish.
Brilliant to watch a lot of customers don’t realise the skill and time to fit window boards it could take me half aday for a bay window but you make it look easy when it really isn’t great tradesman great building company the best in my opinion
Sublime skills. Timber quality and finish were exemplary.
Hi Bob much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
Taking time to get it spot on as always Tony , beautifully finished 👌🏼🤙🏽🧱

Top job mate no complaints here 👌

Keep up the great work!
Hi Ed thanks for your kind words. Well done on the Movember Charity fund.
Glad to see you are enjoying working with Robin great craftsman.
All the best Tony 👍
Hermoso 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Luvly Jubly 🤓👍
Hi Tony , great piece of work. I've used the same method myself until i brought the starret angle guage. Makes guick work in most circumstances but sometime the old ways are the best. Great videos as always. All the best. Phill 👍👍👍
Hi Phill hope you are well and thanks for your kind words. I will have a look at that, mind you I’am a-bit tight 😂 all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Does your festool mitre saw come with an angle finder device?
Hi Chippy123 it did but we’re it is now no idea it’s like when my pencils disappear 😂 all the best Tony 👍
Lovely job mate festool will love you calling them domino's biscuits beautiful work top quality finish
Hi Russell much appreciated bless festool all the best Tony 👍
Thanks for the tip! Got some window boards to fit at the weekend and I’m always looking for an excuse to use my Festool “Biscuiter” 😆🍪
Tip TOP Top Tip...Not To Panic! Got it!
Nice to see a carpenter with a mallet! in his hand and not a hammer
The way you marked the bevel is definitely the simplest, you could even do it without the numbers on the saw.
I've always used a digital angle finder so say it reads 135 degrees, I'd divide that by 2 and subtract that number off 90 that the miter saw cuts at 135 / 2 = 1=67.5 90 - 67.5 = 22.5 is what the saw's set at
Hi Toby that works for me great way all the best Tony 👍
Didn’t see the actual fitting of the board,which is what I was waiting for.
Mate, that’s absolute master lvl 100 carpentry! I’m glad I came across your channel. I will have content to watch for few days. By the way, where can we get a bevel gauge like yours ? Cheers!
Nice .I love a bit of oak
I love a lot of oak 😉
Exquisite as always Tony👊 But don't ever leave that amount of new pencils out around if I'm about, or you'll be a few missing🙄😎
Hi Del 😂 trust me they all seem to go all the best Tony 👍
Super techniques, lovely finish. How were they fixed into place?
Hi the tessellater glued in the back groove and tongue then edges held down by plaster then the front with L shaped brackets I also done it the old way by using screws from underneath wire tied and fixed it by screw and plug but it’s what works for your application all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Given the shape didn't you need to lower it into the space from a above?
where do you get your hardwood boards from. they looked v good quality
Nice one Tony how did you fit them in The end ? Angle brackets underneath into masonry?
Absolutely spot on quick and easy all the best Tony 👍
Awesome work as usual👏 how did you actually fix the the window board to the brickwork I’ve had issues with oak window boards curling in the sun in the past
Hi Ben just an idea try L shaped brackets at the front every 200mm to 300mm depending on length with them tongue on back should be good but also treat the board front and back all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Thanks Tony learnt so much from your videos👍
Tony ( and other builders out there ), I see that 120 mitre saw can be set to individual degrees and lock it in, but can you do that with say the Makita DeWalt saws etc( I know these have indents). I don’t yet have a mitre saw but Santa is going to bring me one for Christmas once I tell her the brand - she is letting me build my tools up every month as I promised not to either get a motor bike or sports car with my mid life crisis.
Hi Ian you made my day so funny, on a serious note though hi and try them Makita, festool , Bosch me personally festool all the best Tony 👍
I've used a mitre saw that has indents but you can turn a screw to disengage the part that fits into them so you can lock it to any angle. I think it was a Dewalt.
Hello Abigail, thank you very much for that much needed info. I will look into more now . Have 3 contenders to consider. Cheers. Ian
Hi Tony,
Super video as always from you guys, a quick question about the portion that's plastered into the wall, what do you use to protect it from moisture getting into the wood especially oak to prevent it from being stained, cheers in advance John.
They were sanded and fully finished before placing into position and plastering, I think.
Hi John they are fully coated but then also just before plastering low tack blue tape with thin polythene covering the Oak to discourage moisture transfer then leave plaster to dry well then trim back blue tape if required but most of the time not required just eye and line it square with your window all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Thanks Tony, much appreciated.
Really great joint made there.
If I heard correctly did you say you always prefer to fit the window boards prior to plastering?
I have toyed with the notion of fitting them after plastering to protect them from wet plaster but I think window boards, both solid and softwood, are one finished carpentry item that can be fitted prior to plastering without compromising the quality of the finished installation.
Also what is your preferred fixing method?
Depending on the care and skill of the spreader...
Hi Tiktok that’s really down to personal preference, this is ok probably for softwood but hardwood I definitely would not, moisture content 6% to 8% in bench joinery because that’s were the planned timber has come from and damp wet site environment, well it’s a massive risk and the price of oak you can’t go back to the client and it’s something that I’am not willing to do and everyone has there own take on it, plus what tessellater says is very true. Do you treat your board and then protect it before your installation. As for fixing well so many methods. I have used wire and hook screw, pellet and screw and secret fixing in timber framed cill lines never grip fill
All the best Tony 👍
Not sure what the client paid for that to be done, but it was worth every penny - good choice to change from softwood here it really brings it up well.
any other options for windows without a lip? I’ve a load of upvc sash’s to make sills for and been scratching my head.
You mentioned routing out the window?
Not sure I have big enough cajones for that! 😂
Hi there. You can fix a thin strip of batten to the window and bond the window board down to that. 👍
Top job, can you do a tip on fitting doors trying to find an easier way
Hi Neil there’s one on the way all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE yes Tony 👍
Can’t beat a metal g clamp
This looks good, but wouldn't it be better to have the joint angle also line through with the angle that the plaster will have? (So essentially from the corner in the window project the angle out towards the brick work, so the angle of the window & the angle of the plaster are join together using the window board's joint?)
I'm not even sure sure you know what you mean......
Nice job. But I bet you never got that in in a oner. With setting in plaster, like it should be done.
Sterling work.
Has someone pinched the angle finder from the kapex?
Hi DatEpicFather I know it’s an absolute nightmare, it’s the same with my pencils 😂 all the best Tony 👍
thats tidy
Am timer good worker
If u want i can do ur job
