@@thevillagecarpenter the process is super simple once you have the right tools. There’s multiple ways to approach the job but from the shear volume of these tools still out I think planes, templates and or scribe planes were common with most joiners.
Adam thanks, good video. As per one of the other comments, it'd be sweet to see you making a full sash over several videos. Because of the challenge of finding good straight grain wood where I live I have succumb to the proverbial router bit sets and mortising machines etc. But I still own a sash fillester, the American style, and a complete set of rounds and hollows. 😊.

It’s in the pipe line I have done it at demonstrations in the past. I need someone to video it for me though I can’t do that level of recording on my own as it’s difficult to tell what’s in frame when you’re the wrong side of the camera. It will happen though
It's interesting to me the different planes the Scottish had for making Sash Window like ,Glass check plows planes ,counter check planes , I thing there are one or two more Scottish window plane i just cant remember what they are
It seems they used glass check plans for display cases and I believe wooden aircraft cockpit screens. None of the research or period texts I’ve seen on sash making say they were used for sash. The Scottish sash moulder makers made their planes differently to English makers with a much deeper fence and sometimes two irons. I have examples of Scottish sash planes. I’ve not studied Scottish sashes in detail because it’s not something I see in my day to day work but they have for a long time used a much heavier parting bead that we use south of the border in England and Wales. A counter check plane is again not something you see used in English or Welsh windows. Most meeting rails are ripped from the same board (after the lay out is done) a simple straight cut at around 22.5 degrees thats then jointed with a plane to give a tight fit is most common here. The only deviation I’ve seen to that is were a moulding akin to a drop leaf table had been used in a Georgian set of 6 over 6 but they were high end windows as they had very fine cove and astragal bars. As I say Scottish windows have not been my study. The only place I could see a glass check used is in the meeting rails are ripped of a bottom sash. I used my standard plough plane with same cutter as my parting bead groove as I think historically that’s what was happening. Sadly the last generation that made sashes solely by hand has now died out so unpicking these things takes investigation and educated guesses
I'm always amazed at how complex it is to make simple day to day things with hand tools, great video, very informative.

Nice overview. Perhaps you can build a new window in which you show how each tool is used.
I need help filming to do that but it is in the pipe line for later in the year.
@@whitacrebespokeI might be able to help with that. Happy to chat about it.
@ sounds good to me!
Couldn't hear the second half of this interesting discussion of the tools
Sadly it seems the microphone gave up on me.
