Wooden Storms - 30+

[semenza]

Hi,

  I think the pocket hole screws and glue would be good. In fact I will probably try that next.

I am thinking about purchasing the Domino for a summer time project - 30+ wooden storms for my old colonial.

Anyone reproduced wooden storms that would like to share some pictures?  If not, can anyone point me to video/pics of joining two pieces of wood as in a wooden storm?

Thanks,
Chuck

Well, this project was put off for a number of years but I am really going to be doing it this summer (I hope).  Looking to purchase a domino.  However, do I do the 500 or the 700?  Typical window is 22" by 55".  Stock is around 1 1/16".  Stock will be run through a router table using window sash bits from Infinity. 

Thanks,
Chuck

Or - Do I just do pocket screws since then offer stainless steel ones now?

Lexan is a brand name for polycarbonate plastics.  Polycarbonates are "tuff" plastics that can be bent and shaped.  1/4" poly will slow a 9mm bullet at 15 yards to the point that you can find it and often it will not penetrate.  It is used extensively in "bullet" resistant glass.  Several layers of poly are sandwiched between the glass, the ratings of the units are based on the number and thickness of the unit.  The polymers that poly tuff also mean the the surface is fairly easily scratched.  There is scratch resistant poly but it is very expensive.  I always warn customers that if they want scratch resistant that they consider acrylic.

Chuck,

    I have since done a bunch of the windows using the Domino 500. I think stock was 1 1/8" thick. I am pretty sure I used 10 x 50 dominos. Windows are about 34 x 60. Each light about 26" x 28".  3" - 4" frame.

No problems even with the oldest ones (about 7 - 8 years).  I don't have any pictures.  They are basically big rectangles with a horizontal center divider.
