Craftwork Training Center Provides TLC for Historic Wood Windows!
Whether you’re an owner, contractor, craftsman, architect, or someone who simply loves old windows, join us for a 4-day workshop to rehabilitate vintage wood windows. Instead of giving up on your old windows, practice hands-on restoration techniques with nationally recognized preservationist Duffy Hoffman.
- Take a wood window sash through the restoration process–from start to finish.
- Map and number windows prior to removal.
- Disassemble, stabilize, and reassemble window units.
- Repair or replace window chains or ropes.
- Restore, spice, or replace deteriorated and missing members.
- Review paint-stripping materials and methods and routine maintenance.
- Use a duty-specific steam box to safely remove old paint and glaze.
- Reglaze windows and replace broken or damaged glass.
- Brush up on painting and refinishing tools, techniques, and materials.
- Incorporate lead-safe work practices (RRP certification included).
