Hi Barry,
Thank you for the reference on the handbook by Antony Talbot. After some research I also found ‘Doormaking and Window-Making’ published as an anonymous trade booklet in the 19th century and reprinted by Lost Art Press. A more recent publication, ‘Make Your Own Handcrafted Doors & Windows’ by John Birchard (1988) and reprinted by Echo Point Books seems to cover some modern methods. Compared to the wide range of publications regarding cabinet making, window making seems to have been relegated to an industrial concern with modern materials and tools, with some traditional knowledge still practiced as a trade in restoration work.
Regards, Sancho
