Sliding Sash Bow Window Repair

[meccarroll]

It does raise the question of whether this type of work will ever be anything but a labour of love in the future. Whenever I've done stuff I've always slightly regretted getting involved as it's impossible to come out on top financially with all the one off jigs etc. Cnc is making much curved work cheaper and less dangerous though.

You are absolutly right about labour of love, but then getting paid for doing something you absolutly enjoy doing is not such a bad thing either.

I initially I felt I'd priced the job rather high but in the end I just ended up making a very modest profit.

I do have a CNC machine which I purchased for making templates but don't think it would considerabully improve the finincial outcome of this project.

My late father would have been pleased to see your work on that window. As a time served C&J he was never that happy making or repairing sliding sash windows. He made many casement windows including several curved ones.

Well done for taking that job on and making such a good job.
