Plantation Shutters
Anyone who's priced plantation shutters lately knows how expensive they can be, costing several hundred dollars per opening. Not surprisingly, Yankee ingenuity and thrift prevail and Norm creates some stunning shutters in the workshop. He first builds a collection of jigs, which are necessary to drill holes, set staples and mortise hinges; then he shapes the individual basswood slats, mounts them on a control rod and positions the whole assembly into a frame of poplar that's then spray painted.
