Norm Shows You How To Make Plantation Shutters

If you've priced plantation shutters lately, you know how expensive they can be, costing several hundred dollars per opening.

Not surprisingly, Yankee ingenuity and thrift get the better of Norm and he creates some stunning shutters in the workshop.

As his admirers have come to expect, he first builds a collection of jigs, which are necessary to drill holes, set staples, and mortise hinges.

Then he shapes the individual bass wood slats, mounts them on a control rod, and positions the whole assembly into a frame of poplar that then gets spray-painted.
