Here is a short video showing the traditional tools of the sash window joiner.
Interesting video I would never have thought that the joints would not be glued
Thanks for posting Greg, it’s an interesting look at how windows were made.
Cheers
Thanks, Greg. I’ve been searching for videos on sash window joinery but couldn’t find a lot in combination with hand tools. If you know more, please post!
Although most windows might have been made of pine as the author states, the wood used for demonstration here looks a bit like alder.
@jfe1978 Here are links to a book and a Roy Underhill video…

@gman3555: thanks for the links! I’ve been familiar with the underhill-video but last time I was on the lostartpress site there was no download possibility for the books or at least not for the one I was looking for or not for people ordering from outside the US or I just didn’t see it. Nevertheless I’ve got 3 more books in my digital shelf now 😉
I loved that video where in the world did you find is there anymore.
