OCTAGON WINDOW

Looks good. Well done.

That is pretty slick. I would love to understand how you built the glass part for the window.

-- Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot.

I planed down a 2×8 smooth on both sides . cut the sections (I copied from a factory window) out using the 22 and 1/2° setting on my radial arm saw—- then I determined the thickness of the wall and ripped the chunks to that width—that left a 1” or so strip with a angle on each end WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT because that piece ( sliced off ) made the trim for the glass perfect then I used biscuts and 3 strap clamps to pull it together I had it dry fitted before I glued it BUT I STILL HAD TEARS IN MY EYES before I got it together. Use a slow drying glue—- but it still went to fast for this old guy . I learned how to lay out an octagon with a rafter sq. and I thought I new everyting before that. Now I do. I have more pictures but not on this computer yet. i will get them on soon
