    This is the third time I have used these videos over the years. I have a house full of slider windows and by buying a bunch of kits (way cheaper than buying handrails and blind sets separately) I was able to make my own. I even bought a punch at Walmart and made a jig for punching the holes since I use one blind for two or three short ones that I cut down on my mitre saw. I realize you may not even live in that house or monitor this old channel but on the off chance you see this thanks a ton!

    At 4:50 I recommend using a paper cutter with a jig of some sort for length. Perfect square cuts every time. Cut one at a time.

    +Kathleen Farmer It would have two handles and they would slide from each end. But it would be difficult to make one long slider. You would have to weld the ends of the two bars together. The bars might sag a bit over that distance.
