When you move into a new home, you want it to be perfect. If the house is in need of a few repairs, you may find you become somewhat of an expert at sash window workshop tools of the trade.

Routine upkeep of your windows require that you fix cracked panes, putty where it gets dry and fall out and a layer of fresh paint every once in a while. Sometimes the sash cords could break and you will need to fix those as well.

For little expense, you should be able to get all that you need to repair your sash windows. This is on the assumption that the wood is in good nick and only requires a good cleaning.

A wooden window workshop will have all the carpentry tools that you might need to fix up your sash windows. The rest of the tools such as a tape measure, work gloves, goggles and a wide flat-head screwdriver, you will probably have in your toolbox at home.

Step 1 is to get rid of all the putty that is holding the window in the doorframe. This would be done with your chisel, paint scraper or your putty knife. If the putty is resistant then either the chisel or the putty knife will get this loose very quickly. Work cautiously so as not to damage the window frame.

All the putty should be removed with no residual bits left. You should only be able to see wood once all the putty has been removed. It may require a bit of sand papering getting the last bits of putty out. Now you can place the new window in the frame with new putty of course. Smear the putty smoothly and neatly with the putty knife.

Depending on whether you want to paint the windowpanes, you will need glazing compound, glazing points (or push points), a paintbrush and exterior primer as well as exterior trim paint.

By ensuring that you have sash window workshop tools of the trade in your house you can ensure the exterior of your house always looks great.
