Making Wooden Storm Windows
February 10-12, 2012 |
Making Wood Storm Windows is a fun and intense, three-day, hands-on learning experience. Students will actually make a wooden storm window.
You will be part of a team building exterior storms for the windows in the circa
1859 historic Lamb-Munger Mansion in the Central Park National Historic District in Hannibal, Mo.
This is a tuition-based class with a limit of 8 students. You will be working side-
by-side all three days in the shop with instructor Bob Yapp. Bob has been a woodworker and furniture designer/maker for 37 years.
This will be an intense, learn-by-doing opportunity. You will learn why wood storms are critical to energy efficiency of old and historic windows, how to measure an opening for a storm, how to grade/pick lumber, traditional mortise & tenon construction, glass installation, weather-stripping & installation techniques. We will be constructing two types of storm sash:
1) Traditional wood storms with puttied glass.
2) Combination wood storm/screen sash with removable screen and glass from the inside of the property.
At the end of the three days you will know from beginning to end, how to completely build both wood storm windows. All students completing the class will receive a "Certificate of Completion".
Homeowners, small contractors, preservation staff, preservation commission members, hp students and historic building owners will all benefit from this hands-on, traditional training event. All skill levels are encouraged to sign up.
Tuition for this three-day workshop is $375 and includes fresh ground morning coffee/snacks, beverages and an outstanding lunch. Space is limited to eight students in each session and pre-registration is required to secure a spot in the class.
Inexpensive motels as well as bed & breakfast inns are available for out of town students. For more information or to pre-register call Bob Yapp, 217-474-6052 or email him, yapperman@msn.com
