Introduction
Download the Sketchup (skp) file of the MH 2 Window Module here: http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:M...
Use the scene tabs at the top in the model to see the various steps in the assembly, the full module, or the cut pieces.

-
Take a look at the full window module so that you are familiar with what you are about to build.

-
Create the plywood pieces for the module.
-
Begin by ripping the 5/8" plywood into 12" wide strips on the table saw.
-
Then, cut your strips to length as shown in the image.
-
The four strips shown in the image are for one module. Since we'll be building two modules, you will need to make two sets of these pieces.

-
The image shows the dimensions of the various framing pieces.
-
CUT LIST for 2x4s:
-
2 @ 4' - 8 1/2"
-
3 @ 3' - 6"
-
4 @ 3' - 3"
-
Since you are making two of these modules, make a second set of the pieces listed above.
-
Helpful note: write the length of the pieces on them! This way you know you are using the right pieces as you assemble the unit. The framing will all be buried under finish materials later, so you don't have to worry about marking up the boards.
