First of all, who sells a shaper set for either one? It doesn’t appear that you really need one for screens, just mortise and tenon joinery involved.
For storms, what is a reasonable glass size? Can I get by with 30×60 without any partitions? What kind of glass? Single strength? Any acceptable plex available? The rabbet in the old windows is no more than 3/16″ for glazing, the glass just about falls thru; what is an acceptable size? Any problem with 3/8″? How about that hardware that allows you to open the storm, those hinged arms, where can you find that? And how about the numbered tacks that go on the storm and house to get the right screen/storm on the right window? Where do you find those?
