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!
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!
So many questions. But first I must say I appreciate your craftsmanship and work processes. So many YT folks skimp on the details and quality that you show in your work. I most enjoyed you using the 3/8 dowels in the mortise and tenon. Everything you did was superb. My questions: how many pairs of shutters and a ballpark guesstimate on the time spent? I have 6 pairs of antique shutters to restore for our 1750’s home. I am guessing 7-10 days for all 6 pairs.
Thank you very much for your kind comments! I probably spend somewhere between 8-12 hours per shutter. It really depends on how stubborn the paint is, how many repairs I have to make and honestly what kind of mood I'm in! These really work on the joints in my hands. I had one, that I did before YT, that had so much rot in it. I had to replace the bottom rail, make several repairs to the stiles including hand cutting the dados for the louvers to fit it and replaced about 1/3 of the louvers. That one took a while! Thanks again.
Excellent Job Brother! Your unmatched!!! Keep it going!
Thanks Vic, glad your watched it and will do, always keep going!

Thanks Bill. I’ve done quite a few of these and they don’t get any easier!
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.
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.
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.
Looks wonderful David. Love your videos
Thank you Tammy!
