There are tons of videos on utube about box sash windows. I have some off-cut sections pinned together from when I made some sliding sash windows:
Below shows the general layout and construction details. Generally they will be made from 20-22mm PSE (Planed Sides and Edges) softwood timber. If you take a look at the left that is the outer section and forms a lip to hold the sash in, then you have a middle section that has a groove to take parting bead, the sashes sit either side and finally the inner box section where you pin a piece of staff bead to hold the inner sash in once all of the sashes have been fit. So quite a simple construction really.
Ignore the piece of wood between it's just there to hold the sections together, the void is where the weights pass up and down and would be separated by a slip of ply or thin pece of softwood (to stop the weights from getting tangled up).
The cill is quite staightfoward just two slopes and a flat on the inner side where the staff bead is pinned.
The box sections are usually cut through the cill to the bottom of the cill and either pinned or screwed to the cill. the old way would be to cut out a groove in the cill and house the middle section in the cill but that always formed a rot spot so I just cut and scribe mine over the cill which has worked well for years.
You can put a mould on the front section (which I do) but it's not needed just makes the box look pretty.
Hope this helps to get you started.
