Apologies Hella, and ‘Whoops’, as Mr. Sellers put it.
The bridle joint is good for the frame surrounding the glass panes. For the window frame (the outermost one), I think that tenons and mortises are the better alternative. I’ve restored a number of frames, and the ones using this joint have been in much better condition than those joined by nails. The tenons have always been offset, presumably to avoid small glued pieces.
This far my windows have opened outwards
