Okay, so it is a sketch, many books and wikipedia will show more accurate drawings (even ruled). I made a few practice M and T joints. Learned from other very valuable village friends, that a 'shoulder' should be added to a M and T joint, particularly in a window to prevent the frame from twisting. See the rough sketch above for an M and T joint with a shoulder. Strictly speaking the proportions of a tenon joint should be one third the thickness of the rail, something to bear in mind when marking out the joint.Next I did a brief sketch of the window I was intending to replace. Including essentials, like the height and width of window, depth of rails etc.
