I wish to make my own replacement window frames (to be double glazed) Could anyone recommend a book on modern design and techniques, plus information on latest government legislation? I have the equipment and the skills required but have no knowledge of the modern 'tip and tilt' hinges.

There is also the little problem of FENSA.
CHGOMIKE is treated like an adult in his country; in the UK we are not so fortunate.
Since March 2002 all window installations ( replacements as well as new build ) fall within the scope of FENSA.
Essentially new windows must be installed by FENSA registered installers
OR
DIYers must apply to their local authorities building control department to have their work inspected at the relevant stages by inspectors.
This would still apply if you were to attempt to construct new window frames.
Sorry to be such a Jeremiah. I seek to inform about the recent legislation not to champion it
