The windows at the job are in a wall that is a good bit thicker than the jambs so I had to make extension jambs before trimming them out. This is just one way to align what carpenters call E jambs with the window jambs. I used biscuits, putting tape on the window jamb and e-jamb so I could make alignment marks for the tool. I taped shims to the framing to align the tool with the window jamb. Then the next problem is how to clamp the e-jamb in place while the glue dries. I did that by drilling holes in some 1/4" thick steel strap and screwing it to the framing with a piece of shim as needed to concentrate the force on the e-jamb. Then I could trim nail the face trim on, putty the holes and apply the final coat of Waterlox finish. This is from trees I harvested, sawed, dried and processed.
