- Thanks for watching! These shutters were probably made somewhere between 1926 and 1928. They are constructed of Douglas Fir and are very well made. They were in need of some wood rot repair and definitely a paint job. In addition, many of the mortise and tenon joints had become loose and the shutters would not hang straight on the house any longer. They were repainted about 10 years ago and they also replaced the trim. Poor execution on the trim replacement caused it to just fall off the shutters! I think they got in a rush, painted the top coats before the primer was dry causing a lot of cracking and peeling. So, the best thing to do is to strip them down and rebuild from the ground up. These two were actually in really good shape compared to some of the others I did last year. I do strip lead paint, but take my own precautions. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU STRIP LEAD PAINT IN THIS MANNER, OR EVEN AT ALL. CONSULT A LOCAL CONTRACTOR IN YOUR AREA AND FOLLOW ALL RECOMMENDED GUIDE LINES.

A lot of work & time in doing those they came out great. I’m glad you showed them on the window where they live . Thanks Dave
Thanks for being here and your comments, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
A man of great patience. Love the paint rotisserie, great idea. A benefit of the copper caps is copper's toxicity to rot fungus.
Thanks Dave, and the comment about the copper caps makes a lot of sense! Appreciate you watching.
Excellent Job Brother! Your unmatched!!! Keep it going!
Thanks Vic, glad your watched it and will do, always keep going!
Masterful job as usual David. That is a very labor intensive project. I tried to restore some shutters many years ago and had to give up because I did not understand how they were constructed. Now I know! Those came out beautifully!
Thanks Bill. I’ve done quite a few of these and they don’t get any easier!
Fantastic David! I think this is my new favorite video! I really do enjoy your wood working projects..These are the ones that take a lot of thought and effort to do the work, film, explain, and edit. You are a natural at all of it. I like that technique for removing the nails pretty slick! The wife enjoyed the video as well with my smooth voice doing the play by play..😁
Too kind brother George! And yes, filming and everything associated with it adds a ton of time to the project, but that's what we are here for right? I can only imagine how your voice over sounds on the play by play!
The shutters look great! You did a very thorough job. I like that painting rotisserie you rigged up!
Thanks Magdad! Yep, setting that up makes the painting so much easier. Thanks for watching.
Those came out really nice. I like the copper trim to protect the top seams. Definitely gave it an upscale look!
Thank you very much! I agree, I really like the look of the copper caps. They tarnish pretty quickly and from a distance they blend right in.
