Then ...I found it easier to make the rabbet first. Then the sticking board can be clamped on the rabbet. You forgot to mention the sash doweling box used to drill the dowel holes in the bars, stiles and rails. A member of a collectors group I belong to made wooden windows in Scotland until the 1960s. He said they used southern yellow pine for the pieces. The holes for the pegs were drilled and the parts were assembled using square bamboo pegs. I tried the process and it worked great. I made eight sash doweling boxes for a display. I would send photos but I don't see a way to attach them. I wrote an article on building the boxes and it was posted on Wictor Kuc's web site.
