Making Wooden Storm Windows
October 19-21, 2012 |
Making Wood Storm Windows is a fun and intense, three-day, hands-on learning experience. Students will how to make their own wood storm windows.
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 34 years.
This will be an intense, learn-by-doing opportunity. You will learn why wood
storms are important, how to measure an opening for a storm, how to grade/pick lumber, storm sash construction, glass/screen 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.
