This was one of those projects that dragged on forever but it is finally done. I'll do the next set differently in some regards as this was a challenge doing the first time but I did figure out some short cuts. I used the Norm plans to make the jigs with some minor modifications. The louvers were made with the Woodline plantation shutter bits. One thing I know I will do differently on the next set is to write down the window opening measurements correctly and legibly, so I don't have to come back and trim the stiles. LOML is happy so that is all that really counts. She doesn't see all the mistakes I do for which I thank her.
Finally finished the plantation shutters

Nice job on the shutters.
There is much more work in them than it appears.I had trouble with a couple of the jigs from the NYW setup.The one that uses the plastic pin as an index reference didn't work well at all. Finishing them is a job by itself.
I know your wife loves them mine really likes ours.Last edited by drillman88; 05-09-2009, 07:47 AM.I think therefore I .....awwww where is that remote.Comment

Great looking shutters. I can only imagine how much work they were to make and finish. Saw the program Norm did and made up my mind I would buy rather than make after watching him do it.
Nice, nice job. You should be very proud of them.Joe
