I want to try and make some simple windows frames to replace the ones falling to pieces in the garage windows. When I say frames it's not the actual frame - just the window panel itself that opens. Basically it's a frame with a rebate running around one edge so I can mount the glass in it. What I'd like to know is, should I take the lengths of timber and cut the rebate along the entire lengths first? Or should I make up the frames (just rectangles) and cut the rebate aftwards. Or, thinking about it, cut the pieces to length and rebate each piece before making them in to a frame? Yes, your right I'm not much of a woodworker :-)
