Excellent series of videos; clear no nonsense and informative. Much better and far more practical than some of the 'celebrity' woodworker product plugging hype that on been shown else ware.

Be nice if you could do a few casement windows too.

@morturn , Thanks for your comment it's good to know I'm putting up information folk appreciate. I have no plans for casement windows BUT Sliding sash "double hung" windows are in the pipeline.

Great series. I went to your site and noticed your recommendation of redwood.I live on the Monterey bay in california and have so many redwoods on the property I've never counted them. recycled redwood is so common much is free for the taking and the material taken out of the victorians is generally virgin growth and deep purple after more than 100 years in place. Much of my house was built with this, some I think taken from other homes when the owners were away.

Thanks for looking and comment. It gets confusing when we talk about redwood. In the UK timber trade it's a general term covering PINE, where the heartwood is often red in colour. In the USA (I think) "Redwood" is a common name for the SEQUOIA . Have you tried making use of any you have growing? I'm just starting out with logging and timber milling, larch, oak, beech and sycamore.

:O no gloves gluing this time

@SuperBlundy You got me there! I hang my head in shame.

Just so you know, the moldings you've made that sit above the frame are called "bolection" moldings. I offer this in case you're a fan of woodworking terminology. Great videos. Thanks.

@agbagb123 Just use a brad nailer and shoot the nail with the grain direction, easy to patch-up and it will hold well, you can reinforce it with a tap of glue on the center this way it will not interfer with the wood movement. Nice work any way.
