Almost Ready for Frame Assembly

With all the pieces cut it's all ready for for an assembly check. But a little more first.

Mark out and drill the screw holes in cill.

Machine out notches in the outside lining, these will stop water pooling where they meet the cill.


Round of any sharp outside edges.

Why? - It is said, and I can believe it, paint doesn't like staying on 90 degree angles. Recommendations are to chamfer corners or round off.

Remember to stop the rounding off:-



1. On the cill where the outside lining will meet.

2. On the outside lining where the outside rail will butt up.

3. While the router's set up do the sash pieces where possible as well - time travel - step now....

I should have rounded off the notched in the outside lining as well.
