Jaystepher with
a tutorial on
window casing
which will dress up any window.
The first thing we are going to start off with
is an 8 by 16 plate.
You can use any plate you wish.
This is just for demonstration purposes.
Now I'm going to take two 1 by 8 plates.
We're going to place them on top of our 8 by 16 plate.
This is going to be the outline for the foundation of our wall.
Now to start constructing the wall.
I'm going to use a 1 by 8 brick
followed by two 1 by 4 bricks to finish up the first level of our wall.
Now traditionally I would go up another row to add my window.
But since I'm building a window with casing,
I'm going to do things a little different because I want my window to have trim.
So I'm going to start off with three 1 by 2 plates with one knob.
I'm going to place the first one right in the middle,
and two more 1 by 2 plates with one knob on both sides.
This is where the sill of our window is going to sit.
Now let's use two 1 by 3 bricks.
Place one on the left
and one on the right to outline our window.
Two 1 by 2 bricks.
Let's place them on both sides of our 1 by 3s.
Now moving up to the third level.
Let's start off with two 1 by 1 bricks.
Let's place them on both sides of our window frame like so.
Now let's use two 1 by 4 bricks.
Place them on both sides of our 1 by 1 bricks
to finish up our third row.
Two more 1 by 3 bricks.
Place them on both sides of our opening
followed by two 1 by 2 bricks to wrap up our fourth row.
Now to start our fifth row.
Take two more 1 by 1 bricks.
Place one on both sides of our window frame.
Now use two 1 by 4 bricks.
Place them on both sides of our 1 by 1s.
Now to start our sixth and final row.
Let's use two 1 by 3 bricks
on both sides of our window frame
followed by two 1 by 2 bricks.
I have my joints overlapped to strengthen up the wall.
Now your wall can be any size or any color.
Now let's begin to construct the window that will fit in this opening.
To start off with our window casing.
I'm going to use a 2 by 6 plate.
and four 1 by 2 plates with center stud.
We're going to place four
of these plates in the middle of our 2 by 6
like so.
Now let's cap off both sides with two 1 by 2 plates.
This is going to be the bottom of our window sill.
Next I'm going to use a 1 by 3 by 4 window.
You can use any style or size you wish.
I'm using the one with the lattice panes.
Now I'm gonna take two more 1 by 2 plates with center stud.
Place them on top.
This is going to help us with our offset,
and I'll show you that here in a second.
Now I'm going to take my window.
I'm going to place it on top
of my plates like so.
So now I got this half brick on both sides.
Now I'm going to use three 1 by 2 bricks.
Place the on top of one another.
This is going to be the side of our casing.
Set one on the right.
Take three more 1 by 2 bricks.
Stack them on top of one another. We're going to place this one on the left.
Now to even up our top row.
Take two more 1 by 2 plates.
Place one on the left
and one on the right on our 1 by 2s.
Now this is where the magic begins.
The ends will sit in these two spots here
and these over here.
But the jumper plates or plates with one knob
will sit two inside these two openings here.
I'm just going to drop it down like so.
Locks the window in nice.
And to help attach the top of the window to the wall,
I'm going to take six more 1 by 2 plates with center stud.
Place them on the top.
If you don't have that many 1 by 2 plates with center stud,
you can always replace the insides with 2 by 2 flat tiles.
And there is our window with window casing.
Now we're going to take our window with window casing.
We're going to set it inside the opening in our wall like so.
So we have a half brick reveal which gives us nice trim,
and the plates on top line up with the wall.
Now to crown off the top of the wall.
I'm going to use two 1 by 8 flat tiles
to lock everything in place.
If you wish, you can go another brick higher,
but I decided to just crown it off with smooth tile.
And there we have it, \our window with window casing.
Looks a lot nicer than a standard window,
and the windows do open up all the way.
And it is even finished off on the inside
for added character.
This will be great for any Lego house,
or building or structure,
and it is scaled for a minifigure.
And I do have Jay the Surfer
with the surfboard.
You can see everything's the right height,
and he can even look out the window.
And this concludes the tutorial for the window with window casing!
Thank you for watching!
