The New Yankee Workshop - Season 18 Episode 2 Plantation Shutters
0.00 30 minutes 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. You'll be impressed at how well these interior shutters look and operate when he installs them in a room he's been working on for some time.
