I’ve flipped through every issue of FH laying around here, looking for that article about restoring double hung windows. The author was doing the whole works – reglazing, using epoxy to fill out rotted wood, linseed oil before setting the glass.
Does anybody remember what issue that was in?

Depends on how many I break in the process - I'll keep you in mind. Thanks!

What sizes on the glass? I have interest in some as well. Feel free to email me directly if you'd rather.
mostly 8 x 10. Nice old glass. Some of it is very rippled, grained, bubbly,etc..
Some is more mellow but old none the less. Most old sash would have a mix. In the old days flat unwavy was the most desirable. The hardest to make and so on.

Hey, Curly..long time no see...
I also have a pile of it as well, even some "bull's eye" glass, the kind with the rings...
Anybody else interested, let me know..

Glad to see the usual suspects are still free to roam from their cells.

Thanks. Almost all of what I need is 9x13. Not sure how many, mostly because I don't know yet how many I'm gonna break, but probably 15 or so, 10 for replacing now and some extras. Don't have a glass stretcher, do ya?
How old is your house? Glass is not 9 x 12?
I can most likely get that for you if you wish.

1790/1830, but I think all the windows re-done w/1830 part. And they're all 9x13, or the ones I have left to do anyway. Thanks.
That stuff is hell to cut.
Roughly speaking, what is glass like that selling for?
Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell'em "Certainly, I can!" Then get busy and find out how to do it. T. Roosevelt

$ 4.00 - 6.00 per pane. This is a hot bed of restoration work though.
