Hi Leo! I try to convey to people through some of my videos that you don't really need a shop to tackle projects like this. A garage or some outdoor space, a work table and a couple basic power tools and you got this! I used basic lumber dimensions available from any "LoweNardsDepot" home center so that gives you a break on some cutting too. Anyway, I hope you try this one... It came out great.

Seems so simple but the cleats work great! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! It is a secure and flexible option for mounting almost anything heavy on a wall. Love the way they lock in the valance....

Yup, those cleat solutions work great and are easy to cut and install. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Ron! You're right, takes a little skill for the straight cuts and the arc, but hope folks give the project a try... I appreciate you watching the channel!

Thanks Lisa... my daughters would give you a huge thumbs up for representing women woodworkers! All you need to do is cut a piece of 1X3 on a 45 degree angle down the length to give you the 2 pieces. Cut the length shorter that your Valence inside dimension and mount the one length on the wall, the other to your valence. You can see in the video how the pieces come together... Best of luck and thanks for watching our little channel!

@@TheFamilyWoodworker TY. It does look simply enough. I will do this! :)

And you know if I used the word "Pelmet" my American friends would be sure to note my vain attempt to appear worldly... I do hope it's a little warmer in the British Isles... still frozen tundra here!

I must say it is lots warmer at about 9/10 celsius. Spring flowers coming out. March though is notorious for its fluctuations. Here in Switzerland it is mitigated by the continental climate but in Britain right now there are storms and high winds. Not sure what latitude you are on there by NYC is the same as Rome. You look like the same latitude as Reykjavik!

I was filling something using a bastard (file) 😂 I was glazing the window using a putty knife, which is not a knife at all. They're doing this to drive us all crazy!! 😂

That would be pretty funny! These casement windows crank open outward so no problems.

@@TheFamilyWoodworker oh, that's so good! You're so lucky to have windows like that. My windows are all sash operated, really silly technology for many reasons. The sash breaks just due to wear and tear and we need a ladder to wash them outside! I have to replace the sash on several of them and that's such a hard work! I wish, I could change them, but we aren't allowed as the house is very old and is of historic interest. Will be making some pelmets as we call them in the UK, so I was looking for the simplest idea for attaching the thing to the window frame. Thank you for sharing your system, I've never seen it done like that.🥀

I respectfully disagree. You don't really need a lot of tools or much experience to do this project. Basic straight cuts can be made with a ruler and a cheap hand saw, curved cuts can be made with a $30 jig saw, and the curved lines can be drawn with string and a pencil... Hand hammer the brad nails (you don't need an air nail gun) fill, sand and paint. The valances can be hung over a window a bunch of different and easier ways, just like mounts for a curtain rod. I guess it's all about perspective and if a homeowner might not have these basic tools. But then again the title contains the word "wood", so my expectation was that viewers/readers would expect there to be some cutting work involved. I hope you still consider giving the project a try.
