I posted my initial foray into shutter making as a project. Then I decided I need a jig to make the louver sanding process easier, so I came up with this. Sometime since I completed a couple more windows.
These are in the dining room and this
is the living room.
That makes 3 rooms complete and I have 5 more rooms to go before this project will be crossed off my list. UGH!!!

I read an article somewhere that said “if you’re a beginner you shouldn’t try to make your own shutters, it is a very difficult work that should be left to professionals” ... as stubborn as Iam, it looked like the right project to tackle on my learning travel …

Plantation shutters are very popular down under at the moment, at least on the east coast of Australia.My wife and I recently renovated the bathroom, yes girls she did help with the wall cladding, plastering and tiling. We had a window that looked a bit out of place, a bit ordinary, and we say some plantation shutters in an apartment when we were on holidays in Queensland.You know what woodies are like, I can make them I said.
