What would you recommend to paint the wood inside if I want to clear coat it and paint it white ? On the outside it will be painted with color - what is your recommendation on primer / paint ? Love your videos , please make some more !
You mention epoxy in this demonstration. What kind of epoxy? I've had people fill in some repairs in our old house with Bondo, and it shrinks (as I thought it would). Great videos, by the way.
Sorry this answer is so long in coming. I had no idea that there were comments for me to answer! Epoxy is the next level in evolution that I haven't video'd yet, but sounds like you have an idea of what's going on.......Different epoxies I use are from Smith & Company and Advanced Repair Technology. Both of them do not shrink. You have to follow the instructions for preparation, but it's not rocket science. You need not only the epoxy filler, but also the consolidant that readies the wood. Read their websites.
Thanks for the videos. 1. What do you think about bedding the glass in silicone 2. Is painting the sash with epoxy prior to painting advisable? Dennis L.
Sorry, just saw this......I would use glazing compound on wood sashes, to bed the glass. Silicone can get stuck on things you don't want it to. Also silicone usually does not paint well, and you'll never be able to remove the glass in one piece.
Second half of your question: You can "paint" your sash with an epoxy sealer or consolidant, and it should help hold the paint better, but not necessary. I sometimes "paint" the end grain of the lower sash sides, where it rests on the sill. That helps stop moisture from working up into the wood. Clear as mud?
@@empirecarpentry I have 100 year old doors in my house. Some of the same things you're doing here, in regards to taking the apart and putting them back together, apply. The challenge is that they use metal spikes instead of wood pegs and I have to drill holes around the spikes then pull them out. If you're going to fill and paint over that section it doesn't matter, but if you are going to stain then I don't know how to hide this. Anyway, thank you for the video. This was helpful for the doors and will be more helpful when I move to windows.
I'm not sure if I can make a video but I can sure take a lot of photos. Send me you email if you wish and I'll send photos the next sash we do. Keep in mind that many codes do not allow new single pane windows to be installed in homes......
@@empirecarpentry - how about video how to make wooden storm windows to match those 100 years old windows? I don’t want to sound dramatic, but I hate those aluminum storm widows someone installed in the 80’s.

@@empirecarpentry - I hope you will have a video about how to epoxy old wood. It will be highly appreciated ❗️
You mentioned linseed oil where you're putting the pins in. Would you use raw or boiled linseed oil?
I use boiled linseed oil to prime the exposed wood where the glazing compound will touch the sash frame. Does that make sense?
Thanks for the videos.

Awesome video!
Thank-you!
How do you get the wood pegs out? Drill?
Yes.....You can drill them out or punch out the small end to the larger. Anyway you do it, you'll need a new peg when putting it back together.

I would pay for a video on a start to end sash window build. I would like to make some 8 panel paned glass sash windows for my new home.

This guy has no idea what he's doing. It's baffling why he's making these videos.
what's he doing that is so wrong?
