The objective of this work is to analyze the production chain of windows from its acquisition until the final assembly keeping in mind to identify the potentialities and the limits of its manufacture in a differentiated context: using work power in qualification phase, minimum infrastructure and raw material wich most of them came from not managed for saw forests. The data had been collected from the accompaniment and direct comment of the activities carried through in a collective self-managed joinery in a rural settlement called Pirituba II, during the Inovarural experience. The research method used was the research-action. The squadron\'s production by Eucalyptus wood under these conditions revealed viable under the aspects economic, social and technic. The raw material performance shows the lack of offers of better quality wooden in the region and the necessity of the magnifying the managed areas for this purpose. Although the difficulties that was found, were possible to manufacture a component of high quality accessible to the low income population, being reached the expectations and satisfaction of the involved families.
