  3. Putting on the Shutter Plank

    Working on the Shutter plank on the first year project at IYRS. There's a number of steps involved for putting on basically any plank on a boat. The shutter plank is the last plank on the boat. The first step of the process is taking the spiling off the boat. The spiling is what you see in the...
  4. Board and Batten Shutters

    Just completed making 15 sets of cedar shutters (a whole lot of different sizes) for a relative. These were made in a board and batten style. The vertical boards are held with pocket hole screws and the horizontals are held with short deck screws from the back. I chamfered the edges of the...
  5. My Home

    This is my living room. We built the house in 1980. I was the contractor, did the cabinets and trim, painting, ceramic tile, and plastic laminate. Wow, makes me tired all over thinking about it. The mantle is rough cedar (the beam is mitered 1 x material to look like a solid beam) The brackets...

    The plans for this storage cabinet came from American Woodworker, entitled Giant Shop Cabinet.

It took me about a week to complete and that...

  9. Wall Panel Mother's Day Present

    This project is going to be a mother's day present this year. My mom saw something similar that she liked in a magazine so I decided I would surprise her.

  11. Plantation Shutters

    I've been considering building plantation shutters for quite some time, mostly following the methods used by Norm on the New Yankee workshop.

  13. Cork board, message board Primitive Rustic made from Repurposed Shutter

    My neighbor had this cedar in his back yard after getting a new deck. I planed and sanded the wood then made some faux shutters for his house. They turned out beautiful against his brick house. Just goes to show you what beautiful wood can be hidden under years of weather and dirt.
  16. Designing Woodworking Projects
    Hey Gang, My next project is to replace the exterior shutters on my house. They are raised-panel-type and I'm wondering: is a conventional rail-and style router bit set going to give me a stronger joint than a tongue and groove joint that I could make on the table saw? As far as materials go...
  17. Hand Tools
    Folks, I am getting "shutter" while removing mill marks from the edge of soft maple boards. This doesn't happen every time. The hand plane in question is a Stanley Sweetheart #4. I honed the iron with a Veritas Mark II and I also honed a micro bevel. I can shave the hair on my arm with the iron...
  18. Jigs & Fixtures
    I am in the process of making interior plantation shutters for our house. I have completed 2 rooms, the third is in process and 5 rooms remain. Thus far, I have been hand sanding the louvers because they have a curved profile and I didn't know how to deal with that. However, necessity is the...
  19. Woodworking Skill Share
    I want a 1-1/2" thick MDF table top as an extension table + router table combo for my table saw. The thickness is required for a stable router table surface. A key goal is to have this table be very flat. In one of Bill Hylton's router books, he rolls yellow glue evenly over a surface, maybe...
