It should not crack. Wooden trim for windows can be made in several ways:

  • use of a consignment thread;
  • slotted method of manufacturing platbands;
  • sample material on the drawn path.

For the manufacture of wooden decorative elements, the following tools are required for manual cutting:

  • flat chisels, the width of which should be from 7 to 20 mm;
  • semicircular (sloping, round, middle) chisels, the width of which should be up to 25 mm;
  • Chamomile chisels with a width of up to 15 mm;
  • chisels-ceraziki up to 5 mm wide;
  • chisels-corners with a bend of the blade to 70 ° and a width of 5 to 15 mm;
  • knife-jamb with a curved at an angle of 30 ° blade;

And already they are nailed or glued in advance trimmed from the wood trim for the window. These overhead elements are often painted in contrast color in comparison with the base board. A slotted method is the production of clypeus with through holes. The device is finishing the window platbands. Most often, the method of sampling the material along a circumscribed contour is used to create wooden frames. The workpiece for work, depending on the selected image, should be 5 to 60 mm thick. After that, the picture is transferred to the wooden base. The woodcarving begins with the creation of an external contour. After that, you can proceed with the inner pattern. To do this, it is necessary to mark and drill the starting point, from which you should start sawing the image with electric jigsaw. For work it is necessary to use saws with small teeth. Work with a jigsaw must be carefully. Do not put too much pressure on him, so as not to spoil the product. If the saw goes hard, you need to drill an additional hole or make a cut on the other side. There are models of electric jig saws that allow you to change the angle of the thread.

It is best to use a deaf spike, since with this method the place of joining the parts does not need to be covered with decorative elements. To create a nest under the connection spike, several holes must be drilled side by side. Their depth should slightly exceed the length of the spike. Formed jumpers should be removed with a drill for metal. It should be remembered that the spike should be inserted into the hole easily and without effort. The connecting studs are fixed with nagels. It should be remembered that you should not use glue to fix the details of the clypeus. The casing for the windows is attached to the opening by screws or nails. They can be glued with a special synthetic adhesive compound. Mount the platbands on the windows so that they do not interfere with the opening of the wings. Vertical and horizontal parts of the clypeus are joined at an angle of 45 °. The platens on the windows are fastened to the window frame or flush, or at a distance of 5-20 mm. Back to contents</a>
