You'er Welcome Don

The Plantation Shutters air again today on the PBS station....

The bit will do the job the only thing you need to do is make the 3 jigs for drilling/stapling/mounting and making the frames to hold the shutters...the frames are the easy part...

The jigs are the hard part.....but if you watch Norm you will see how to make all them... good luck.........as you now they are not cheap shutters if you just went out and put out your bucks on the counter for them ,so making them is the way to go....
at 150.oo to 350.oo per set you will be money ahead when you make your own.

Don One more work around ,,,goto one of the many of the HomeDepot/Lowes 2nd hand wood stores and take a look at the premade wood sutters they have on hand, think about just taking the shutters parts out and use them in your Plantation Shutters , I have many door sutters in the raftters of my garage that I have got from garage sales and they would work....but it would take a bit of work to take them down to parts only....but it would be worth it in the long run..if I wanted to make some for my house...
