About

Hello and welcome to my channel. My name is Russ, a life long carpenter. I am one of those fortunate people who knew what i wanted to do when i grow up from a very early age and have followed through with my dreams. My passion is making beautiful things from wood and I also like to dabble in the dark art of metalworking and other skills from time to time. This channel is about pushing the boundaries of my craft while making innovative, unique and interesting projects, I hope the content i make will inspire others to follow their dreams, try new ideas and make interesting projects of their own. Russ.

Video Description

Making the last of the windows for my circa 1860's victorian house. I made the others around the house in 2017 when we fist bought the house, I left this window out because I was originally planning on putting a set of french doors here but changed my mind. According to google the design of the box sash window originates from 1670's London where buildings were so tightly packed together, a standard casement window which swings out may come into contact with neighbouring houses.
