I've just been having a conversation on a forum about the best way to cut out the pockets for the weights. A specialist chisel was mentioned but most folks make saw cut. I ground down an old chisel and did a quick test. 


I'll try a slightly thinner blade and witha bit of practice it will be real time saver.

Yep spoyyed the problem. Sash Windows are an art to restore and repair which takes practice.
Looks interesting, can you show how this tool is used? I don't get it
