Check all the mortice and tenons fit (assemble the whole window) they want to be a good fit, but not too snug. Before gluing every thing together, holes have to be drilled so that dowelling pegs (I use 6mm) can reinforce the joint, if the hole in the tenon is drilled slightly closer to the inside of the frame, then the dowel acts to draw everything together. Then all sides of the tenon and mortice are liberally glued with a waterproof wood adhesive, assembled, hammered home, pegged with the dowel, clamped if you have long sash clamps and left to dry. Sorry, I swear the photo was in focus when on the camera, I really must get a better one.
