Making Wooden Storm Windows
Making Wooden Storm Windows is a fun and intense, three-day, hands-on
learning experience. Students will learn how to make wooden storm windows. You will be part of a team building exterior storms for the windows for the Historic AME Church in Highland, Kansas. Highland is a wonderful small town in Northeast Kansas.
This is hands-on workshop has a limit of 18 students. You will be working side-
by-side all three days in the local high school shop with instructor Bob Yapp. Bob has been a woodworker and furniture designer/maker for 39 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 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.
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.
