Its great to make repairs on old homes, it looks like a fun job. I am always honored to be able to work on something classic. They just don’t make them the way they used to. Very Cool.

Great looking shutters.
Great job. They could also be used to make an outhouse.

Nice work, John. How many hours in a project like this? I’m always curious to know how long it takes when repetition is involved.

Thanks for the comments, everyone…
Ron – when I started this project some people asked me, “why don’t you put up vinyl shutters…”
Matt – I agree with you that the color is nice, but I gotta stay with the original…you know how that goes…
Bill – the most fun part was learning about doing mass production…
Frank – on the shores of Lake Champlain…
Karson – you know the phrase “the old two holer?” I guess this could be the old twelve holer…
Bob – the cottage is a classic – from the 30’s I believe…
Dorje – I hope that they last – the weather off of the lake is fierce sometimes…
Mot – the cottage does have indoor plumbing…
Mike – I’ve always wanted to have a Halloween party there…
Jeff – good question! I probably spent more time figuring out how to set up for a particular procedure than doing the procedure. I made jigs, guides, fences, you name it. I may, if I have the time, create a blog about the process; I did take some photographs along the way.

I’d love to see a blog on this. I’m about to embark on a project that will use shop-made templates so it would be good to get an perspective you can offer.

John -
You do very nice crisp work – these shutters are excellent. The are built to last and high quality. Many years from now someone will run thier hand along those shutters and admire the craftsmanship and the durability. I agree with Caliper – this would be a cool blog – interesting to follow the “mass production” end of things.
