Thanks man! Over here in West Cincy and promised the wife i'd get rid of her cheesy builder grade shutters and build some cedar units exactly like this. So this vid was perfect, wasn't thinking about lapping them.
Thanks man! I struggle with flying through it or explaining what I did... not all folks want to hear me talk. Haha. There are certainly quicker and easier ways to do it, but these are up and doing well!
Ah, I can almost smell the cedar. I like your chalk marking for the dado cuts and the block you screwed down to make all the repetitive cuts. This is elementary for someone like you but for someone just learning, it’s great to have it laid out.
Hello I like a lot those old type of shutters that we once had so much on our island. Look like the ones you have made. In the 70's many moved to wooden shuters with wooden blinds. Now aluminium ones. I would like to see if possible an nice way to transform wooden shutters with blinds into something like with no blinds trying to keep as much wood from the old ones. I hate the blinds cause it is difficult to sand and restore / refresh. Many thanks!
I always wanted to remove the plastic fake shutters and make or buy true huricane shutters for my windows. I live on the gulf of Mexico so anything that make my house prettier and safer is ok with me. Now I know how.
Are your boards 1x6s or 1x4s? Is the horizontal strip across the front of the shutters or supposed to be support for the back? I've never seen the fronts look like that so not clear there.
God Job. I did shutters but I’ve been looking for someone who left the the boards at 7in width with a 3.5 in width in the middle. I don’t have a table saw.
I’m about to make some shutter for my house that dato trick was the best. I’m Looking for cedar or cypress wood. My shutters will have direct sunlight as the sun rises and sets on the same side. Any suggestions on a good clear coat to help from fading fast?
I used spar urethane. Pretty much anything you put on them is going to need touched up from time to time just like a deck. These shutters are still up and look as good as they did they day I put them up and have not yet needed a new coat.
I was teaching myself Sketchup. I found it a bit challenging because I was coming from an AutoCAD background. There was certain things that I was used to doing in AutoCAD that was done differently in Sketchup that I had to unlearn and then relearn. Then I got busy with moving and then building my own homestead, I just haven't had the time to get back on it.
Now the client just has to paint or replace that yellow vinyl siding and they’ll be all set! Lol. I’d suggest a dark navy; nothing looks better against natural cedar imo.
The glue would have failed once the panels expanded and been exposed to the elements. You especially don't want to glue across the grain or you get instant failure or cupping. These are up and doing fantastic!
The best part about working with cedar is the smell that fills the workshop when cutting it!! Good looking shutters right there!
Love the smell!
Great job 👏. Who Dey !

Good stuff!
Very thorough process. Other videos folks just cut, wood glue and a few nails and it's done

My fiance and I tried something like this lol. It didn't go well.... we clearly needed to be better equipped like you. This video was awesome!
We have had plenty of those projects too!
Nice job Kenny, keep up the good work thanks for Sharing!!!
😁😁
I would use a small between each board to give a slight gap for expansion.

We all start somewhere and we all keep learning!!

They look decent but one question. Why did you make the battens so narrow? I think a wider batten would have looked really nice.
Those are beautiful!
Definitely a good idea to keep a 10 yr boy busy 😂
Exactly
Life On Beagle Road I’ve had a couple 😜
Very nice! Clean and simple design. I like the overlap joint - nice addition! Enjoyed a full watch. Have a great day
Thanks!!! It was fun to build and fun to film!!
Lovely looking shutters,
Thanks!

Do it!!
Any pics of shutters on house? This is a project I may take on
There was a pic at the end of the video!
Did you put any finish on them?
Beautiful shutters!
Thanks brother!
I enjoy watching you work.
😁😁
You did beautiful work. The wood grain looks so nice even without stain
😁😁
Beautiful Shutters!!
Thanks!!

Oh I love cedar!!
Smells so good
They look really nice...
Have a good day ☃️☃️☃️

Basically build them this same way, but they wouldn't have the ship lap. You could totally get away with it. I just over do things! Lol

Thanks for watching!
Dude what song is that with the stand up bass?? Awesome video thanks man.
Hinges? Retention for open & closed?
They just wanted them attached directly to the wall to replace the ones that were plastic. They were for looks not function
Will these shutters have a latch on the inside of the shutter? Just wondered. Take care till later.
No latch. Just fixed like the plastic ones they replaced. There was a pic at the end.
Oh I see just ornamental only! They still look very good, nice job!
Always enjoyable and informative Kenny
😁😁
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing!💓
👍thanks!!
Great video, thanks for sharing.

Oh I know the feeling. I've only started to get better at it. Mostly just a time thing. I'd rather just draw by hand and get right into it.
Nice job!
😁😁
Love the t-shirt! I live in Cincinnati!
Yes!! Bengals all the way... until they drop the ball in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter against the Steelers...
Fantastic to see you in the wood shop again. Do you still have your woodwork channel up as well?
I do but I've just neglected it trying to get these videos out. Actually this one was meant for that channel but I got behind on this one. Lol
Life On Beagle Road , glad to hear!
Cog Hill needs some shutters.
Truth!
Oooh lovely episode! Gotta love the music. Only confusion, was that a Bengals shirt?
Yep! I jumped on the bandwagon back when Boomer Esiason was there and never left...
Lot of extra fluff and music that makes me turn the volume down... Meat and potatoes and I would subscribe.
What is the name of the app you mentioned at the beginning?
Cut list optimizer. I have a Samsung in case you have Apple. Sorry for the delay.
I didn’t know until just know how to make shiplap.
And now... you do!

No glue😩

I didn’t think of that. Thanks👍🏼
Half the story.
I would talk less.
