Building a Divided-Lite Storm Sash

摘要

Changing the setup of router bits made for cabinet doors is the key to quick construction of storm windows and glass-panel cabinet doors. A storm window is the sacrificial lamb that takes the brunt of the weather (and errant baseballs) so that an operable window lasts longer. When an old storm sash is beyond repair, people often turn to aluminum triple-track storms or vinyl replacement windows. But to my eye, nothing looks better on a well-weathered house than traditional divided-lite storm sashes. Divided-lite windows also minimize damage from the aforementioned baseballs: The glass repair is smaller.
