Just some old stuff

Before running power tools on any old wood I have the tendency to use a strong magnet to search of nails/screws/hardware. The SawStop really makes that a priority but don't want to hit with any router bits or any cutters for that matter.

Is it a window you are restoring?
Be sure to show us a before and after once it's finished!

Esko it looks like you have plenty of work ahead of you. Do be careful working with the old lead paint, some of the older paint had very high lead content.

it is and I do like the photo-shoot.

Thanks! Its allways a joy to get the messy Part of the job done.
Next thing is to replase rotten Wood with solid.

It looks like it is coming along nice.

That is a beautiful old piece. We don't do a lot of restoration out here in the "Wild" West. But I can see that just replacing the window is just not the same as having the original. I hope we will see more.

Well done and the documentation is appreciated.

Thanks you for your words! Good dokumentation is a must (for me). In our climate replacing the old windows isnt cleaver because it efects badly in the ventilation of an old house. The original windows is an important part of it. Unfortunantly people more belive in what the industry says what is better for your old house than a professional building restorer (me!). But that is how it IS nowdays.

I have now five customers plus my own needs so I think there could be things to show you on the future 😀
