Replacing Rotten Cills Of My Window Frames.

[pollys13]

A couple of cills on my windows are shot, see attached. Another frame cill some while ago had been chopped out and a new piece of wood glued in place. This is what I'm thinking of doing, as a stop gap before I make my replacement windows and doors.
Do I chop or saw out the old cills and how to go about doing this?
Cheers.

If you aren't going to repair/replacement it soon I'd slow the rot down by wire brush/scrape off loose paint, chisel out all rot, waiting until everything is dry and paint with linseed oil paints.
You might get away with it now if the weather doesn't turn - otherwise I wouldn't bother until next year - May or later.

NB it's not the wood - your windows are in that condition because of the cr&p paint. Linseed oil would have kept them in much better nick far longer and with less effort.

You could probably make new ones in the time it would take to chop out splice where needed and repaint to anything like a good standard.Bite the bullet and get on and do it properly you know it makes sense.If you think it would take too long get them made by a small joinery firm and fit them yourself.

Well yes I agree. They are almost certainly not worth attempting repair in situ. I was just suggesting how he could do a bodge and postpone action a bit longer!

Lag them with whatever to stop water ingress and think about new ones. It's very easy to spend three times longer patching crepe than making new ones. Damhikt.

I got rid of the Metabo HC 260 C. Like, 2 hours later, tufts of hair pulled out, fathing about trying to set the blades. After I got as close as thought was possible, acceptable. Ran some timber through a couple of times, the blades..... height had changed.

I could see a nightmare, looming down the road, sometime in the future wheh I needed to resharpen the blades.
Monday afternoon an Axminster Trade Series AT107PT Planer Thicknesser 230V is being delivered, cast iron independent, adjustable tables, 3 knife block, knives resting on springs, with a jig they include. I understand setting the knives will be quick and easy. With the special mobile base for it and an Axminster diamond planer blade hone. Thats another £1400 in
