Framing for the two big windows.
I basically made the apertures in the studwork 20mm wider than my double glazing units, and 65mm taller. The plan was to mount the units straight into the studwork so this allowed for 10mm on every side to be packed out and to allow for any wonkiness in the building. The extra 45mm height was to allow for a cill at the bottom which the unit would sit on.
Then I would simply cutout a hardwood internal frame and a hardwood external frame to sandwich the glass in. The hardwood was just simply PIR hardwood from selco stained and treated back.
