After this preparation of the slats, the slats will be cut into prisms, which will ultimately make up the windows. Next, we are processing these prisms...

So we should have the frames ready, the preparation of the parts of the window sashes starts similarly to the parts of the frames. The cut, planed material must be measured, then the arches of the upper parts of the wings are cut out, and on all prisms, pins and rebates are prepared at the point of connection.

A part of the window will be a decorative flap. Two prisms were harvested for turning, which were then trimmed to the correct size.
