What you need to make the window frames yourself
In order to start the creation of window frames with your own hands, you need to prepare a number of tools and materials:
- Board of the required type of wood, the cross section of which should be 50x150 mm.
- Bar, the cross-section of which should be 50x50 mm.
- Glass sheet of the required size.
- Electric Planer.
How to make windows with your own hands: action plan
The work on creating window frames with your own hands consists of several step-by-step actions:
- Preparing boards for the window box.
- Window box manufacturing.
- Manufacturing of a window frame.
- Making a stud joint.
- Final work.
How to make the window frame itself: a step-by-step instruction.
Step 1: prepare the boards for the frame box
Select the type of wood from which you are going to make the window. For this type of work you will need well-dried plank boards. The cross-section of such boards should be 50х150 mm. With the help of an electric gun on the board it is necessary to make a groove so that the profile board has the form of the letter D. This mounting measure will promote the tightness of the structure.
Step 2: make a box of a window frame
Based on the dimensions of the window opening, the board must be divided into four parts. The resulting parts must be connected together. The connection can best be done with a straight spike or straight groove. In the course of work on one of the boards( which will perform a horizontal connection), you need to cut the spike. On the other board( which will perform a vertical connection), you need to cut out the groove. The joints must be smoothed with joinery glue and join the boards. The connection of the boards of the box should be made at an angle of 90 degrees. To strengthen the structure, a hole is drilled at the end of the box and a wooden pin is greased with glue. Also, to strengthen the construction of the box, it is necessary to install metal corners in the corners and fasten them to the box with screws. The box will be ready for further use after the glue dries.
Step 3: how to make windows with your own hands
The frame is manufactured and connected in the same way as the window box. In the process of manufacturing the frame, a bar is used, the section of which should be 50x50 mm. In order for the frame to be easy to open and close, it is necessary to leave a gap between the frame and the box in 1-2 mm.
Step 4: Studded joints of the
window frame The profile must be divided into blanks and made with a stud joint using a saw, a hammer or a chisel.
Step 5: Final work after making the window frame with your own hands
You need to install the glass and hinges in the required places. After these steps are completed, the creation of the window can be considered complete. The window must necessarily be treated with anti-corrosion materials and painted to protect it from moisture.
Thus, the article described and described the process of manufacturing a window frame with their own hands.
