Window sills can add character to the look and feel of a space. Follow Scott through the steps of building custom interior window sills to see how a window sill is designed and installed.

Update: since publishing this video, I learned about a router bit for profiling the edge of window sills, which is easier. Here's a link to the router bit https://amzn.to/2DhNl51

In this project, you will see how to build a custom window sill and apron (the trim below the windowsill) from standard lumber and trim. The steps include:
• checking for spacing
• buying material (5/4 or 1 1/4 inch thick boards)
• cutting the new windowsill to it's rough dimensions
• fitting the window sill to the wall
• determining the length of the horns on the window sill
• adding edge details to create a pleasing profile
• building an apron to install under the window sill
• gluing up the returns of the apron trim for detail on the ends
• trimming the apron
• installing the apron

Once the window sills (technically called window stools) and aprons were installed, the nail holes were patched and the parts were painted with noVOC semi gloss paint.
