I knew the workshop needed shutters. There was too much siding and the windows weren't "substantial" enough...shutters would balance everything out. So this is a story about the shutters that Heidi built. Not jack. Oh yeah, did I mention they cost me less than $5 per shutter to build?! You should need only one 8' or 10' (depending on your shutter size) pine 1x4 per shutter. That's cheaper than a large pumpkin spice latte with an extra shot of espresso! I was determined to build these shutters 100% by myself, no help from Brent. Seriously, how hard can shutters be?! Building them wasn't tricky, but the process of assembling was a little harder than I thought. To begin, I took some measurements next to a window to determine how tall and wide the shutters needed to be. I decided to make them the same height as the top of the window trim and then stop them just above the window sill at the bottom. Here's my reasoning for that...if we pretended these shutters were able to close over the window, like their original intention, the shutter would almost rest on top of the sill, not cover the sill. Since I knew I was going to use 1x4's to build the shutters, I just needed to determine if I wanted the shutters to be 3 boards wide or 4, to minimize the amount of cutting needed. 3 boards wide looked like it would be perfect. I wanted to begin by cutting my 1x4's to the correct height first. These happen to be 31.5 inches. I began by trimming a half inch off of the end of my 1x4 to square it up. Now here is a tiny tip. Since I needed to make 8 shutters and each shutter would be three 1x4's wide...I was going to need to cut this same length 24 times. Brent said instead of measuring and then cutting each piece, we needed to set up a "stop". See that short piece of wood clamped to the table on the left side of the picture? That's the stop. Instead of measuring each piece, you just slide it to that piece of wood and make your cut. After cutting all 24 of my pices, I needed to figure out how wide to cut the piece that would go across the top and bottom of the shutter to hold the whole thing together. I just laid my 3 pieces out and left a small gap between each one. When I had the spacing that I liked, we measured across the middle to get a length. Using the same process as before, I set up a stop and cut 2 pieces for each shutter, so 16 total. Brent isn't actually doing anything, just posing for a photo. Owen is learning the ropes. Here are all of my pieces, ready for assembly. I laid one out to make sure everything was going to fit together. At this point I was singing, "perrrrrfeeeecccct!" Brent gave me another tip here, but did not, for the record, touch my wood (he he he). He said to get the two outside pieces screwed together first, and then slip the middle piece in last and just eyeball it to make sure you have the same gap on each side. Then you aren't trying to hold three pieces steady at once. After I measured and marked 4 inches from each bottom to determine where the cross bar would go, I flushed up the edges and clamped it together. Then I held a piece at the ends to make sure they were flush there as well. This took a little adjusting to get them perfect. Here's what it looked like all clamped together. Here's the important part...flip it over!! That way the screws will go in from the back of the shutter and you will not see any screws from the front!! My mind wandered off on a few of my shutters during this step and I forgot to flip...so those shutters ended up on the backside of the shed where we can't see them. Oops. I used 1.25 inch exterior screws, two in each board. 12 total in each shutter. In this next photo, you can see how I have screwed the outside pieces together and am lining up the center piece. I just did the best I could to eyeball it and then sent a few screws through to finish her off. And this is what they look like assembled. Adorbs. Time to really finish them now. Owen's job was to give them a light sanding to remove any rough spots. Here is my primer of choice. I use it for interior and exterior projects-but not for cabinetry. I like to use an oil based primer for that. After I had applied the first coat of color, you could see white lines in the vertical spaces between the boards where my brush couldn't reach. I found some light blue spray paint left over from a previous project and used it to hit the vertical lines. My top coat of paint covered the spray paint color. A person could have prepainted all of the boards before assembly to avoid this problem, but I think that would taken longer. I did allow Brent to hang them. Since cement board is so hard he has to pre-drill holes. He just held the shutter up to the position we wanted and drilled through the shutter and the siding. Then just sunk a screw in. One on top and one on the bottom. These are the 3 inch screws he used. And done! Halleluja!! I will probably dab a bit of paint on the screws so they aren't as noticeable. UPDATE** The workshop is done - see the final pics here!

Als zonwering en om de warmte op hete dagen buiten te houden zijn luiken aan de buitenkant van het huis het beste. Soms hebben huizen luiken enkel en alleen 'voor de sier', maar als je ze ook echt wil gebruiken moeten ze wel open en dicht gedraaid kunnen worden zonder obstakels zoals plantenbakken. Luiken aan de binnenzijde van het raam 'doen' natuurlijk ook wel wat, maar houden de warmte toch wel minder goed buiten dan buitenluiken. Het openen en sluiten van deze luiken is natuurlijk wel een minder grote klus, omdat je nu eenmaal niet naar buiten hoeft... Op dit plaatje zie je mooie buitenluiken en ook nog luxaflex. Dat is dubbele bescherming. Hier zien we luiken die met stof zijn bespannen, een heel sfeervol alternatief voor gordijnen.

Exterior Shutter with Mid Century Modern MCM Starburst cutout: Customize your shutter height, to fit your windows This listing size is for: -ONE pine shutter -Mounting screws -11.25 or 14.75" width -Custom length up to 60". Personalize the exterior look of your house with these rustic distinctive Shutters. Each one is made to order in the US by a Veteran with the pattern of your choice. They do come UNPAINTED, and ready for you to paint to match your color scheme. If there is a design not shown that you have in mind, just let me know, I love doing custom orders and there is no additional charge. 1. Choose the length and width that you'd like. 2. Choose the number of shutters that you need. The number in the quantity is per shutter, not per set. It is done this way because some people need odd number of shutters for their window configurations (generally windows on the corner of the house) I recommend adding a minimum of two coats of Exterior paint or deck stain. A brush will work fine, but if you have access to a paint sprayer that will make the task much easier. *All of my items are Made to Order specifically for you (I'm a one man show working in a fairly small space) and not mass produced in a warehouse. The terms "In Stock" and "available" used by Etsy have created some confusion with customers. Think of these terms instead as "able to be ordered" and reference the processing time in each listing for a better estimate of turnaround time. If the listing didn't show as In stock or available, it would be shown as "sold out" and orders would not be able to be placed. Hopefully that helps clarify and reduces some confusion. *Knots and other wood characteristics are varied from one piece of wood to the next. **The last few photos are ones that customers have painted and sent to me after the shutters were hung.** ***Free shipping within the contiguous United States, Alaska and Hawaii will be more. Please contact me and I'll set up a custom listing for you with accurate shipping cost.
