Oliver, thank you so much for these videos - they are clear, detailed and simply brilliant! I have 12 windows ( some French) to make for our barn conversion. I was going for the Trend Modular Windows System, but a), it's no longer in production and b), my 40-odd-year-old single-phase Sedgwick Spindle moulder is probably not up to the job. However, these videos have given me hope. I will get back to you and show my appreciation when I finish the first frame. Thanks again, Doug
Thankyou Doug! That's really great news. The modular systems work well but usually need a volume production to make them viable to purchase. You be fine I'm sure 👍
Great series of videos.. I didn't realise there were so many separate operations in manufacturing a window. I don't think I will ever make a window, but these videos have given me a better appreciation and understanding of the work involved.
If you have a good dedicated setup the machining elements are quite simple. Most components can be machined in one or two passes with a decicated block. Multi head machinery will even cut the beading from the rebate for you. This is very much a small scale/diy method, but you certainly get to know the window inside out.
I've never done windows and now I know why. :-) This was really interesting and very detailed so thanks - especially for the tips like ensuring no build up of dust/chips behind the infeed fence. A top class demonstration. Cheers
Thank you for documenting and showing!!! I love the series, shown very nicely in detail, thank you. I am already looking forward to the next parts ... greetings from northern Germany. (sry, can‘t speak english well) CHEERS 🍻 Rudi
BRADSHAW JOINERY Angling the powerfeed to the out feed fence to keep the workpiece tight against the fence ,I am a site carpenter but have a small workshop I think your attention to detail is outstanding
Cheers Jason, yeah there are many window systems like this, and i would definitley invest in one you liked the look of if building any quantity of windows. Good to hear how others do it!
Haha! I filmed these a while back, decided to release 2 per week, there is 10 episodes so far. The series isnt finished, but will continue it on at some point,
Many thanks for all your efforts in producing these videos. I'm learning a ton! One question: what is the power output of your Felder F700Z spindle molder? Cheers!
Thanks mate, it's 5.5kw I think but with any Felder machine I would always spec the biggest motor available it's a worthy investment, along with powered functions
I'll be doing a video before too long using the specialty Whitehill rebate head for windows that includes seal grooves and capillary grooves etc. Can't wait!
its durable, but it wont remain perfect. it will blacken and move at joints and sealing some configurations can be a tricky! It can also swell and shrink seasonally quite badly. you wan the best european oak you can find for external joinery.

Making windows... It's a pane (see what I did here?)
Another element in the Greatest window making series ever made.Thank you,again !!!
Haha Ianis, Im sure there are other great sources of Info, but thats great to hear!!
@@BradshawJoinery no,there is not other sources in this level of detailing !!!
Thanks. So good seeing all the detail involved with machine setup. It would be good to see the work and results of your client! Cheers, David
Yeah hopefully he can achive the project and do a video tour or some pictures maybe :D
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this series. Your explanations and tips are very clear.
No worries Neil, i'm pleased they are of help!

Rudi you speak great English. Certainly a lot better than my German. Thankyou Very much.
Fantastic set of videos
Thankyou Again :)
Another really great video. Very much appreciated!
Thanks Ian :)
Great power feeder tip 👍
Thanks Chris, what specifically was helpful?

We put the saw blade on top of the rebate cutter and do the rebate and seal groove and rebate in one pass
Cheers Jason, yeah there are many window systems like this, and i would definitley invest in one you liked the look of if building any quantity of windows. Good to hear how others do it!
Man, you're a video producing machine these days!
Thank God for that !!!
Haha! I filmed these a while back, decided to release 2 per week, there is 10 episodes so far. The series isnt finished, but will continue it on at some point,
Without a spindle moulder what would the best way be to do the 9 degree cill? Table saw?
Many thanks for all your efforts in producing these videos. I'm learning a ton! One question: what is the power output of your Felder F700Z spindle molder? Cheers!

Excellent demos. May I ask what wax or polish you use on the machine beds to reduce friction
Regards
It's A Liberon product called machine wax
looking into to wealden router bit set, looks like they use the same methods as you do but on a router.
Windows are much of a muchness, there are small variations, but all get to a similar end goal!!
another great video. Would be good to get a list of the molder cutters required. Do you have an affiliate arrangement with Whitehead?
I'll be doing a video before too long using the specialty Whitehill rebate head for windows that includes seal grooves and capillary grooves etc. Can't wait!
Because this video series is so darn good, I can just refer back to this, and focus primarily on the block itself. Cool!
I will go though the video and list what ive used at some point!!
Should be good this!!!!
Have you tried it yet?
Great videos I am going to make some windows but my spindle don't change angle like urs is there an different way please
Thanks, You need a 9 degree cill block or a variable angle block.
great Vid! Can you tell methe song of the gutair riff on your intro video ? Thanks And God Bless
Aparanlty...It’s from the RUclips audio library, by Silent Partner. Called Punk I think
I have avoided oak so far for my windows and doors due to seasonal stability. Do you find it horrendously unstable?
its durable, but it wont remain perfect. it will blacken and move at joints and sealing some configurations can be a tricky! It can also swell and shrink seasonally quite badly. you wan the best european oak you can find for external joinery.
Do you have your drawings for sale as a .dwg or pdf file?
HI James what do you want, the cross sectional drawings?
@@BradshawJoinery
Yes, the cross-section detail.
Send me a pm on Instagram or email, and I'll get them over to you
oooohhhh aye
Nice one, Just subscribed to you! :)
