Great to see people still make and appreciate wooden sash windows. Sad to see so many getting ripped out and replaced with vinyl, and either winding up in the trash or rotting in someone's garden.
I feel you, but my house is 106 years old... yes the original windows are sitting out I my garden until I can use them to build a greenhouse. Unfortunately they needed to be replaced for so so so many reasons. I am however making stained glass transoms, and restoring the house to appropriate era design. I hope when I am finished people can drive by and be excited I saved it, instead of upset I replaced the windows. I kept the original doors, and yes that meant some bondo, paint, custom cutting glass and trim to match the original, and learning to use window putty (if it seams really really hard to work with, check that the paste didn't freeze in the store, I knew it should be hard to be good at right off the bat, but if it seams impossible check the putty).
@@Twintertainment I can understand it if they're completely rotted, missing or falling apart, but a lot of what I see being trashed are in good condition. Many of them have leaded glass or have one of a kind designs you can't replicate with vinyl. I reputtied many of the old windows on my 122 year old house, it does take some getting used to but once you get the hang of it then it's not too bad.

Great video Bob. This is very well done. You are a great rep. for your company!!!

Do you make custom windows? I’m looking for a specific Transom Window.
Joseph, We do make custom windows, but only for our barns. We do not sell them separate of our buildings. Thanks for your inquiry.
Hi, I'm in Mystic, CT and do restoration. I'm making some 1 1/8" wood storm windows. Are you using a window sash router bits set on a router table?
