There are 3 different louvered projects listed on Norm’s site (New Yankee Workshop)

Instead of housing the entire slat you can cut a tenon on the ends of the slat, creating a square stub tenon, and assemble by mortising the stiles to receive the tenon.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into these suggestions.

This was the best that I saw when I was considering it. I didn’t want to pay for Norm’s plans, so I think this will work out.

you could always dado the stiles and chop short spacers at desired angle , bevel slats and cut to fit in dado .
it’s worked for me ,for quick remodels . notch ends of rails and countersink screws to hold frame together .

I just completed making shutters for my house. Let me tell you its quite a job. I made mine with treated yellow pine. (I would never do that again) It warps literally as you cut it. I made my shutters using Norm Abrams Shutter Jig, its the one where he devotes the whole show to making jigs. I also wanted to make them in such a way that would allow me to replace slats, if need be. They are removable from the back. So the slot for the louvers is open in the back. If I knew how to post pictures I would. If you give me your email I can send pictures of my jig, the completed shutters,and any other help I can give.

By Jove,................I think I’ve got it!
Picture comes out quite small though. Do I have to use Photobucket? I already have my pictures on Kodak, and really don’t want to go through uploading all my pictures. What am I doing wrong?
