Fake functional is the worst

Love the jig! All of it really. Thanks building some storm shutters w pallet wood I’m cutting up and the video was helpful!

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzread.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

I love the wood shutter look! 💖 However, I'm not quite sure why these types of videos only show non-working shutters.... I live in a coastal area and am prone to hurricanes and I believe it would only make sense to hang the shutters to actually work. By doing this, the home owner would be saving time, and would be prepared incase of a storm. Who wants to be rushing around fighting the crowd for plywood and trying to board up their windows, during a life threatening situation? *Just make the shutters to work from the beginning. 😃

I wonder that myself. Why don't people just make them functional hurricane shutters. Here's one I found: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Za2uu6iRf87NdtI.html

Fantastic job on the shutters. Finally someone realizes they need to look architecturally functional for the window they are hung on, and the hardware definitely lends an authentic look.

Just a thought. Maybe add washers as spacers between the shutter and the brick. It’ll keep a small space for water to move freely, air to move and the shutters will last longer. That’s what I did anyways, seemed like a good plan to me. Great work!

This is a great tip. I added that to the website article. Feel free to comment on the article to give yourself credit. stoneandsons.net/diy-shutters/ The brick on my house is not flush, so I have gaps behind the shutters already, but I might go back and add washers just for more room to drain. Thanks again!

Great job! They really look awesome. Just a tip tho, Minwax is an interior stain but could be used on a front door topped with helmsman poly. A better choice for shutters would be an exterior stain like Cabot. Exterior stains pretty much stain and seal in one step. 👌🏼😁

Thank you. Yeah, I like them just as well. Turned out looking great.

What's a good paint for brick and good video on preparation?

You did a Great Job - don't you have to seal wood after staining for exterior weather?

Great! But I want mine to actually close to keep out heat and cold of Arizona desert. I’d like to have them split so I can open top or bottom. Would this mean reversing them so the horizontal wood pieces are outside and allow wood planking to close flat and tight to the window? Then the hardware would have to allow them to open out and lay flat against the exterior walls. In Europe shutters are on the outside for energy efficiency and in some English regency homes on the inside folding into the wall.

Great video and straight forward design! I think the stain color looks great too! Wondering if you could share the paint color used on the brick and siding? Thanks!

What kind of stock did you use for the shutters?

I love what you've done! These are beautiful. What are those curly holders & where can I find them at a good price?

This really looks nice!! Your whole house looks awesome! Great job!

Cabot Stain and Seal has high UV protection. Another great option is from a company called C2 Paint. Also cedar wood would be more expensive but more impervious to the elements. There is a way to burn cedar wood and then stain. It's a Japanese technique called shou sugi ban and has beautiful results. KZread has many examples of the technique.

Great straight-forward video. Are you using pressure treated pine? Considering building some to add some curb appeal to my home. Thanks!

Very helpful. Thanks. I am wondering why you went out of your way to make wooden shutters and instal the hardware to them… only to make them non functional‽ Why? Functional shutters not only have an actual raison d’être but also are more aesthetically pleasing on a façade, given the gap and shadow casting.

Good job - they look very nice. Will they hold up? Can you provide insights on what type of wood you used and your long-term maintenance thoughts to keep them looking like they do now?

If you install shutters on a brick wall like in the video, would one drill into the bricks, or the mortar between the bricks? Would drilling into the brick cause cracks?

@StoneandSonsWorkshop

Either way. Just make sure to use a hammer drill and good bit.

What type of wood did you use? It doesn't seem to be treated lumber. Will it hold up to heat and weather elements if not treated? Also, did you seal stain with a product, like a deck sealer? I am very interested but was thinking to use cedar fence post because cheaper and lightweight. But they definitely won't look as nice as your wood grain. (I have never commented before, so how will I know when you respond?)

@rsahadi1975

I would like to know what type of would was used as well. It would take about $40 worth of 1 x 4 cedar for me to make one shutter for my house. It would get expensive quick. Just wondering what the alternatives there are to cedar.

So these shutters are only for show? They don't do anything?

Where can I purchase hardware?

How about stepping back and get a photo from a distance

I think these look pretty, but I would be really disappointed I couldn’t close them when a hurricane rolled in. For 3% more effort the value would double if they were operable. Store shutters never fit your windows, and don’t have the hardware. Here though, we have custom cut to fit shutters, and real hardware, but they are still only decorative... IDK. This must be in an area that doesn’t get big storms I guess, and that wouldn’t be any use to them? 🤷🏻‍♀️ very petty though. Like window mascara.

Your links aren't working!!

Great vid, but I do have one small critique. I would have love to have seen an overall view from the standpoint from about about 25 feet or so at the end of the hanging.

I was hoping they would be usable.

When I said that I posted online, I meant local sites. I've found that most people where I live would rather pay twice the price for half the quality as long as they can buy from a big box store or nationwide chain. They don't want to help support local businesses. For example...those 2x4 benches that Jay Bates made. The wood for those costs me $40. Throw in another $10 for pockethole screws, sandpaper and glue. The most I'll get from someone is $60 and most of the time they try to haggle me down to $50 or even $40. I've only managed to sell 4-5 in 2 years. I've stopped trying to make a buck from building. It's definitely not appreciated around here.

Treated wood?

Faux shutters

Beautiful! Do you think a girl can do this? Lol

Better to make shutters that seal out the cold,not just protection from birds or person throwing stones. It doesn't show how to fit for hinges?! And why screw them in all corners,as that will look horrible when they're closed!!

They look beautiful, but I don’t understand why American home use shutters for decoration.

I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.

If you are going to go through the effort of making nice shutters (which these are), and dress them up with nice hardware, why not make them functional? Maybe the customer didn't want that, but if you were building them for me, I'd want them functional. *Edit* I guess I should have read down first. Seems like there are a bunch of like minded folks here. Beautiful shutter, fantastic quality work, should have went all the way lol.

In my first work I always used Woodglut plans.

Look good but serve no function. Even worse they’re made to look like they work with hinges and other hardware
