Visited the historic courthouse in Salem and the window restoration is something else
Honestly, the joinery on the new sashes is all hand-cut mortise and tenon, no pocket screws in sight. They're using a traditional linseed oil putty that takes a full day to skin over. Anyone know a good source for that style of putty around here?

That kind of proper craftsmanship is so rare and satisfying to see.

You're right, mark49. It's like noticing a well-made piece of furniture or a solid old tool. You can just tell someone cared about the details, which feels almost rebellious now when so much stuff is built to break fast.
