- In this video we are building a Double Hung window, that consists of a double hung on either end of a fixed panel. The window has a hardwood sill with Fijian Mahogany being the other timber used.

I’m glad someone finally made a video showing the building of a full double hung window rather than just the sashes. I was looking a while ago and couldn’t find any showing the proper full construction. Thank you. Beautiful work.
Thanks Matt.
Glad we are able to do so. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What a beautiful piece of timber! Is that similar to ironbark?
No, this timber is Fijian Mahogany, it belongs to the Brazilian Mahogany family.
These are gorgeous! Wait... what is that balancer hardware?! That looks so simple to put in. I need to repair some 1920s windows that were DIY flubbed (Originally weights inside the frames, then someone put in these crappy plastic runners later) and have been looking for a balancer replacement and this might just work!

Thank you.
They are spiral balances by Whitco. They work ok, but weights and chords are far superior. These are a cheaper alternative to chords and weights.
are these replacement windows? Are you doing any new builds? You two made this look easy I know its not but your no fuss style is excellent - I can't believe you set the cutters with a ruler - the U tube joiners (pretenders) would have had micrometers dial indicators all sorts of crap - you two just get it done - kudos.
Yes, these windows were replacements, but we often do house loads of new windows and doors.
Yes, I hear you. It doesn't have to be complicated and fancy to be correct. Thanks for your comments.
Have a great day!
Beautiful window. Thanks for showing the whole process.
Do you have a video or technique for putting in draft sealing strips? I've seen some people cut a small channel on the parting bead and stops for different kinds of weatherstripping.
It gets quite cold where i live. Removing some weightpockets and retrofitting some spiral balances.
People use aluminium parting bead, it has the channel for seal machined into both sides.
FYI, chords and weights are a far superior window to spiral balances. If you haven't already changed them, just try and source the aluminium parting bead , and keep your original system, provided it is still fully functional, of course.
where do you guys get the mechanism,, a need to build some sash windows
I buy them through a hardware supplier called Lincoln Sentry. Any major hardware supplier should stock them.
