   I use the same tools for doors and window casing.  I usually mitre casings so obviously sharp blade is the primary tool.  The next tool is Jim Chestnuts Clamps.  Absolutely a fantastic investment.

   Have a good day

   all the same tools as for door casings but my windows frequently have a shelf and apron so i might use a 45 degree square to mark the returns on the shelf.  Depending on how i fasten it, i might use countersink and a screwdriver.

   a compass to scribe the ends of the stool to the wall.

   then a coping saw to cut it in 

   might use a sanding block to round over the ends of the stool

   Once it is milled at the factory loaded on a truck sent to my lumberyard who then delivers it to the job.... It's then cut to exact sizes, trimmed here tweaked there some drywall bashed out...

    

   All the hand tools I need to install it is a hammer and a nailset, but I prefer a nail gun.
