My latest wood working project...
Well, windows, which is what I do primarily. I don't make the windows, I just install them. In this case, they were hung in the original frames and updated with concealed weatherstripping. All the old original hardware was dipped and re-plated. It was a cool job, but took an enormous amount for time scribing and fitting the full radius tops. Yes, they all swing in and are in rabbeted pairs, so the center line had to be dealt with as well. I'm getting near retirement from this work and this one would be good one to go out on.

The center one in this pic was a fixed window and pretty easy. In the order of difficulty, the little full windows were just a bit easier than the pairs. Still, you only get one chance at not shaving off too much.

Milt,
Craftsmen like you are getting harder to find all the time. You have a gift...

You are the man Milt. I wish I could learn from you for a few months. My wood working skills compared to yours are like a kid with playdoh hanging out with Michaelangelo.
Thanks for the pics of the masterpieces.
