Well thought out kit, but be aware how much work this is! Just finished my first window set, and can't believe how much time it took. The jig works well to drill all the holes for the various pins, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Building the frame, with mortise and tenon joinery, no problem. But completing all those slats drove me insane, even using Rocklers slat stock. Nothing particularly hard, just mind numbing repitition of drilling, sanding, painting. 30 slats for one window. Another warning: make sure you don't let any paint get in the stile holes, makes the fit too tight during operation of the slats.

"I live in NJ, and wish there was a physical store near where I live. My experience with rockler.com is second to none. Not only are your products first rate, but customer service/product support is exceptional. I've called several times, and never received someone on the other end of the phone who was anything but extremely helpful, patient, and friendly. The biggest compliment I can give is that I TRUST Rockler for all my woodworking needs. The only other store I can say that about is LL Bean. My wood working friends in western NJ love Rockler. Keep on keepin' on - and get a store here in Jersey!!"
