I'm sure that it would be much appreciated and build into a useful resource for others to learn from.

Thanks

I can't see me doing any more of these windows in the near future. I made some when I first left college and worked for an small architectural joinery company in Bristol and then a few over the years when refurbishing my own properties as I renovated past homes.
As you probably understand running the furniture school and tool shop I don't get much chance to make many of my own projects from start to finish anymore.
I do try to post photos every day on my three face book pages showing the students WIP's as they cover a range of interesting projects.
I find it so easy to upload pics from my phone to FB without having all the resizing issues. Can this be done on The Haven?
Time is always my biggest issue Peter

Seems that way As an apprentice I always struggled with mitreing the ends to start with. One of the other joiners use to lend me his brass mitre template- being new to it, it always use to be returned with tiny nicks out of it I use to cringe when he'd offer it up to the table saw to re true it needless to say I was persuaded to make my own wooden one which was much easier on the chisels and meant he no longer had to keep making his shorter . For some reason I'd trim off the excess but then slightly lift the chisel and take a second pass- switching to a wider chisel (2inch butt now) completely eliminates the temptation to pinch off a bit more.
Peter out of curiosity what were you taught to do with stairs ? We were always taught to have two tongues on risers - obviously one on the top going into the underside of the nosing then another tongue going into the back of the treads. Straight flights this would work o.k (assembly wise) , but when it came to winders it made life a right royal pain in the backside trying to get the kites in. More often than not most of the bottom tongue had to be removed to physically get the two to go together ( especially where they wrapped around the newel post ) I remember making the first flight differently and some of the older guys shaking there heads in shame now it just seems logical to have a groove on the bottom of the riser and I've never gone back to the old way.

We made the decision not to allow that on TWH2 which means that one has to post photos to another platform such as photobox or Flickr. Have to confess, in retrospect, I find that 'stops' me from posting more photos.
