I've just spent the afternoon fixing blinds for a friend and the job was made a lot easier having watched your tutorial last night. You pointed out a couple of things that were not included in the actual instructions that came with the blinds. What a great resource youtube can be.
Hey guys, you just saved me a bunch of money. I had vertical blinds that were custom cut for my living room window in my condo. But then we had those 40-year-old windows replaced. Problem was, the new windows jutted in from one of the end walls by an additional inch, rendering the rails useless (too long). With your how-to video, I figured out how to cut one of the rails and now I can put the original verticals back in place. Thanks!
Continuation...3/4. The rest of the tools I had. So in all I spent $120 and it was still way worth than paying $600 just only for the blinds. The blinds look magnificent. Many many thanks to the two of you for putting this video together. I am sure it has helped countless of people just like me. If I would suggest that if this video is also posted under like" How to cut/narrow down width of vertical blinds". Continued .......
Continuation...2/3 The rep also said that she had a few customers who said that they customized the blinds themselves. So I decided to research on youtube and after a little search lo and behold I came accross your video. I cannot tell you how much your video helped my son and I to custom cut the blinds and intall them. I even went and purchased the tools you used in the video and it was a breeze. I spent a total of $75 for 3 blinds, $40 for a Ryobi cutter + nose pliers for $5. continued....
Well that was quite an experience.....John I just got done writing you a great testimonial and they put lines thru 88 of my words so that pretty much wiped it all out...So this will be short---On a rating of 1 to 10 with ten being the highest your rating is a 15---The video saved me five hundred and forty dollars......Cant thank you enough--Vianne Falcon
Continuation...3/4. This is where I initially started my search and then accidentally stumbled onto your video. Once again amazing job! ☺ Ed & Jason.
I used "Hampton Bay" blinds and this video was great. I suspect all the cheap blinds with different names are built in the same factory in China. Thanks again.
Perfect, this is exactly what I needed to customize blinds for a customer. Thank you very much.
Thank you guys for covering all my question and concerns ! Greetings from Russia!
What a gorgeous view you have there.
Hi John & Shirley, Thank you so much for your demonstration. I went to Home Depot in Toronto, thinking that I would get approximate sizes for my 3 windows. The largest being 62.5" wide and the other 2 at 22.5" wide each. But the smallest width they had was 66" and prices ranging from $25 to about a $100 depending upon sizes. I checked with the Rep there regarding custom blinds and each was coming to about $200. A total of $600 was a big price to say. Continued......

Terminology corrections ;) just to help you out, hope thats ok. Otherwise nice tutorial.
main rail = track
sliders = carriers
clips = valance clips
(Just a tip for your viewers: The bracket you had as it was when you pulled it out is for outside mount (and yes is called/refered to as the "bracket", the piece you took off to use is called/refered to as the "clip" that is used for inside mounts & ceiling mounts. If you custom order blinds you will be asked if you want brackets or clips.)
I made it by myself. I used woodprix woodworking plans for that.
Im sure you can build it too guys. Just look for WoodPrix page
D
I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.
Just an observation, but why do all you yanks do your DIY barefoot?
Chris knows cuz we wank after our DIYs, that's why. We don't want to spoil our moccasins!
I am sure you can still buy handbook with all info you need on woodprix. Just google it.
