    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

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

      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.

    I've known many cowboys along the years, that can't install a window board without rely on toilet paper and caulking. Don't worry about the terminology! People want to see a good job not a good talking!
    You've done a great job. Congrats!

    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  Рік тому +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!
