Making window board where no wall?

Jim1000

Hello folks,

It a timber framed room 6 inch thick wall. The window is on a concrete sill. On the inside,this sill is flush with the window frame ie the window sits on the sill and inside this there is nothing as the wall is only 6 inches thick.

I want to make a window board but there is nowhere for it to fasten on to?

Any ideas? I might have to use 2 brackets but that may look a bit silly.

Thanks a lot in advance

Can you post a picture?

Are you saying the inside of the window is flush with the inisde wall? Sounds strange.

You could definitely do something, even bond / attach some planed 1x1 to the wall then bond a narrow window board to this.

Is the concrete sill sitting on the timber stud what's the build up of the wall
Is it a 4" block with 2x2 battens on the wall.
Probably create a 3x4 box at the window and sit a 4 1/2" window board on that
A shelf on two simple brackets might look tidier.
