After nearly a year of off and on work, the planatation shutters are complete.
I was showing a step-by-step process on how they were made, but my camera recently grew legs and walked off, so all I have is the final pictures right now. If I find the camera, I will finish my blog for this project.
Anyway, this has been the most painful project I've done, not because it was rather difficult, but rather because it was tedious, repetative work and it was difficult to cover up any mis-measurement or cuts since they had to fit perfectly in a not so square window frame. It will be a while before I do it again. Fortunately I have all the jigs made, so the next set won't take nearly as long.
I spray finished them using Target USL Satin Finish tinted white. For some reason, the finish kept wanting to run no matter how light I put it on, so getting a good finish involved a whole lot of sanding and respraying. I don't know if it was the SW Pro Block Primer or what. The good news is that the finish always went down very smooth, so the only thing I ever had to clean up was the drips.
That's about it. Enjoy.
