Video design tips for upper-level oriels

If you've seen the Drawing Board column I wrote for the September 2011 issue of Fine Homebuilding magazine ("Taking oriels to a new level", Issue #221), you might want to check out this video, too. I created it as a companion piece to my column about upper-level oriels. (An oriel is a window bay without a foundation.) If you haven't seen my Fine Homebuilding column yet, it's on newsstands now, and here's a link to a PDF version of it.
