    sills are exterior only this is how to make a window stool please correct title and you should know this if this is what you do for a living

      You should change your title to "a tool" because you definitely are one 😂🤣

      This is a window board not a stool. Yes a sill is external, but most people use the terms interchangeably.

      in some places it's called sill, even internally

      Don’t be an ass most people call this a sill even though it’s incorrect. So he’s got the right name in the title if he wants people to find it.

    Dude I am so glad I found your video. I just got done drywalling and mudding my daughter's room I built in the basement. I just bought a piece of poplar to make a window stool. Watching your video gave me the confidence to attempt this myself. Thank you

    Dude, the video was simple, nice and well made. Keep up the enthusiasm and good work.
    P.S. Sill or Stool or Board. Doesn't matter - Forget people who are picky. I understand, when someone corrects you, but when they say 'you should know if this is what you do for a living'.... I mean, why? Sigh.... some people just can't be without belittling others....

      @@CraftAndu ok I have to now confess I went to garage to find some decent wood and a 10ft piece of white plastic shelf was there on the shelf! I swear I didn't know I had it. There wasn't a long piece of wood so I folded and went for the plastic. ....I know .....but if it helps I do have another 2 sills to do so I will definitely give them a wood finish. I will send a pic.
      I know it's like confessions, but what can I say I'm weak.

    • @CraftAndu
      @CraftAndu  Год назад +1

      I can't think of a reason why screws would be better than glue but if you are certain then I would recommend drilling a bigger hole, sinking the screw head well below the surface and then pluging the hole with a dowel. Good luck!

    Very true, 7 people outta 10 will call a stool "sill", but that is beside the point, here the issue is that when that piece of wood so tightly inserted in place will get some moister (and that will happen) I believe you'll be in trouble.... just sayin....
