Life as an Amateur Woodworker #41: Mosquitera Needed

I thought I would start with one, and see how it went. I did make some when I lived in Spain, and they worked, so no reason why not here, This version only works with sliding windows. I cut some 4×2s to 1/2” x 1 1/2”, for this window I was making them 45.5” by 15”, I had to make two frames, and the net is sandwiched between the two. Once the timber was cut, I half-lapped all the pieces, sanded them, then glued and clamped...
