We have a window that let's in way too much light first thing in the morning, so I decided to make a set of custom Plantation Shutters.
+ Rockler has an incredibly helpful Wizard you can use to design your shutters: shutters.rockler.com/?sid=AFN86
+ Rockler also has the jigs and supplies you need to make your shutters a reality: www.rockler.com/2-1-2-movable...
Big thanks to Rockler for not only sponsoring the show but also having the resources I needed to get the job done.

How many hours did this project take?

@woodwhisperer 2 года назад

Really not sure. I don't track my time. It's polluted by having to document the process anyway. :)

@cameronknowles6267 2 года назад

@@woodwhisperer was it as long as your spagstick

@Psychlist1972 2 года назад

The small success you didn't discuss: nice job matching the finish and wood already around that window. :)

@justsayin4632 2 года назад

Was SO excited when I saw this video pop up in my feed! Been wanting to build this style of shutter for a while, but didn’t know where to start. After watching this I now feel confident about going to the store and buying them premade.😂

@woodwhisperer 2 года назад

Glad I could help! :)

@T_B 2 года назад

LMAO!!! Same here.

@genelucas7379 2 года назад

Well, I'm a carpenter ( alot of trim). That looks really good. Hardest part is matching old with new. You nail it. Nice work!!

@prestonlane6253 2 года назад

That's what impressed me the most. Matching existing wood and stain is a pain!

@redgti81 2 года назад

LOL! Spagstick sounds like an insult for someone. "Don't be such a spagstick!"

@dogsoupblues 2 года назад

I remember See Jane Drill had a good video on this a couple years ago, I think, and she called it a ticking stick. A great tool, as you show so well 😀 well done! They look awesome.

@shawnhartmann4581 2 года назад

I spent part of my youth on the shores (and water) of the Chesapeake. Not a whole lot of shipwrights and boatbuilders, but a few. They all called it a tick stick. Might be a regional thing, like hoagies vs. grinders vs. subs.

@ocdtechtalk Год назад

I've heard it called a story pole. Might be a different beast.

@gregmize01 2 года назад

You are a genius at script writing and explaining complicated subjects!

@denisdore643 2 года назад

I'm always impressed by the way you make complex projects look so simple. Straight to the point and precisely detailed 👌. Building the thing is one side of the work, teaching to average woodworkers on cam is the other part that takes a lot of communication skills you master as well. Thank you very much Marc for all the effort you put in each video.

@woodwhisperer 2 года назад

Thanks Denis. Really appreciate that, man!

@gizanked 2 года назад

I've seen those sticks called "tick sticks" which makes sense considering how hard it was to say spilling.

@tomatha3713 2 года назад

Marc, that was nothing short of genius! I'd probably still be scratching my head trying to figure out how to work with the curves. I don't see shutters in my future, but it was very interesting to see the process. Thanks for another great video.

@joannecarroll5504 10 дней назад

Really helpful video, thanks. You asked about the screw-in fixings, if there was another way - there's a lot of that in jewellery-making, where you have to join 2 or even many more metal loops (known as jump rings) together, usually with 2 pairs of needle-nose pliers. It's been established that rather than pull loops wide open, then try to crimp back together again (which damages the structural integrity & risks that it never again becomes completely round), it is better to hold the loop horizontally between 2 pairs of pliers, with the join facing upwards & just lightly twist the hands (1 forward & 1 backward) so the ends of the jump ring move in opposite direction from each other. The ends remain aligned while appearing to be a row apart, leaving a gap for parts to be added on. Once assembly is complete, we twist in the opposite direction, returning the ends to their original position & the circle shape is restored, undamaged. Hope this helps.

@TenBackWI 2 года назад

Awesome video Marc! The “Spag Stick” is something I don’t think I’d ever use a lot but definitely cool knowledge to have in my back pocket in case I need it. Thank you for the info!

@vichubbard3664 2 года назад

I've said it already, but this is just a fantastic project and the ONLY solution I've ever seen that looks really good and performs well for those odd windows that seem to be in so many houses.

@woodwhisperer 2 года назад

Thanks Vic!! REALLY appreciate the compliment!

@jerrycomo2736 2 года назад

Nautical trivia of the week: Joggle Stick, used for fitting bulkheads (walls) inside boats hull. Exactly what you did in a way. A Spilling "Batten" used for sizing and fitting planks to side of hull.

@reaper060670 9 месяцев назад

Lovely bit of work there man. I LOVE THIS TYPE OF WORK. It's never easy and takes a bit of time but once u get the hang of doing it u find it easier every time. U should do more of this work man. U made a beautiful job if those shutters,

@BeauChampion 2 года назад

What a fantastic build!! I've been following along on Instagram but I'm still super impressed with how the video came together. Super neat stuff from Rockler to make this much more approachable.

@JohnGenX69 2 года назад

Great info, very helpful and awesome end result (like it would end any other way). As for the "stick" problem you "quickly" mentioned....they have pills to help with that now a days. 🙃 I REALLY DO enjoy laughing while learning and your sense of humor is without equal (in the youtube woodworking community). Thanks yet again for all you (and your small crew) do for all of us! 😄👍

@glencrandall7051 2 года назад

I have a similar situation in my living room. Your video will solve the problem. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

@annee.6910 2 года назад

What a great topic and video! I really feel like I can do this project with your explanation and tutorial. Thank you for your graceful style of teaching and all that you (& Nicole) do.

@joshmann2525 2 года назад

Great video. For odd rhombus shapes I’ve found a band clamp to help where a normal clamp can’t be put on the curve. Thanks again Marc

@kiwdwks 2 года назад

Thanks for the video...totally awesome! Great tips on building to an irregular shape & definitely helps making shutters less intimidating. Nice job!

@phoenixzohar 2 года назад

Marc, this was an amazing video! Such a great design, the shutters look amazing and you really made me believe I could do this in the square windows in my home. What a wonderful video and upgrade idea for any home! Top notch content, presentation, and woodworking as always!

@nellz8877 2 года назад

The end result looks amazing! The curve and steps make it more eye catching in my opinion. Awesome craftsmanship.

@skf957 2 года назад

Nice job. I'm a big fan of shutters generally. I've made plenty, but not the louvred variety. I did modify some once and swore I'd never go near them again! But that Rockler calculator has made me think again. Thanks for sharing.

@thesawdustfactory 2 года назад

Thanks Marc, and thanks to Rockler! Well planned project ... logical operations order ... and a nicely completed project. It's great to see a technique (in this case the Spiling Stick ... er Spag-Stick) used in a different environment to simplify the task at hand. Keep up the good work! Regards, R

@ramachandran8666 2 года назад

Highly skilled workmanship along with great planning makes you an exceptional craftsman Mark. You are too modest but just as capable. Very nice heirloom piece that will adore that space

@dennisfahlstrom2515 2 года назад

A whole new variation of a story board. Very well done. I made a shutter for a more typical window about 40 years ago. I used ash for the frame and basswood for the shutters. A very tough project but the wife was happy. I’m sure yours was too.

@gonesideways6621 Год назад

As an experienced woodworker I have been putting off this project of shutters Rockler is my go to place for 20 plus years mine will only be traditional no arches but I am totally impressed with your plan of action, remember those who fail to plan plan to fail!

Nicely done. Great info on fitting that curve, I never knew how to get that right.

@DavePalmer 2 года назад

Hey Marc. I’ve been watching your videos pretty much since day one. I just wanted to let you know that the feel and quality of this latest video was amazing. The live narrative that over flows b-roll was pro. Great energy through the whole video. Loved it.

@woodwhisperer 2 года назад

I appreciate that! Thank you Dave.

@mek90703 2 года назад

Those turned out excellent! I was laughing about the adjustability of the louvers. Ours are closed 90% of the time too!

Excellent video explaining something a tad tricky and making it seem reasonably easy. Thank you 😊

The best video for plantation shutters I have watched so far. Great work! You helped me a lot for my project.

@hansiejansevanrensburg291 2 года назад

Thanks for this vedio. You really did break all the steps down nicely. The nice thing is that you can apply this method to vertical or horizontal slats.

@MikePowersTSIG 2 года назад

I've been fitting curved parts longer than most of your viewers have been alive, and I don't know how I didn't know about this. Thanks so much. Seriously. And I will pass it on. Anyone that learns this from me will call it a #spagstick.

@rootvalue 2 года назад

Love these longer format project videos. Not quite as comprehensive as a guild video, but perfect for lunch break entertainment. Good work!

Dang Mark, you ought to consider woodworking for a profession!!! Just Kidding. This project has your signature quality on it. Great Job!!!

@johnbevilacqua6751 2 года назад

Love your work. I am also very impressed with your shop. It must make working on projects such a joy.

@adamcone6856 Год назад

That radius router bit looks like it would be great for a fretboard shaping. What an amazing project! I may have to do this one here on a curved kitchen window that gets sunset glare in summer months.

@leeedwards3783 Год назад

Lovely job. Really enjoyed it. Always wanted to have a go at shutters.

@magrinney 2 года назад

Beautiful work, Mark. I love it. Great presentation and instruction.

@johnumbach7064 2 года назад

Nice video. I’ve priced these for a circle top for my home. After watching the process, I see why they’re so pricey. However, you present this project in a manageable way. Thanks!

@warrengans1346 Год назад

I sell custom Shutters for a living, and I spend a vast amount of time dealing with design: Rockler has taken a great deal of the pain away from this project, but I fully appreciate the pig of a job you took on: well done for an excellent finish! Good call not shaping the louvers, but rather squaring of the ends as they are indeed a nightmare to finish well

@just.some.dud3 2 года назад

Well done sir ! You made it look very easy and simplictic, I know it's not ! Looking forward to making a few sets !

@justplanebob105 2 года назад

Shapin' it old school with a story (spag) stick. That's the way my Grandpa did it back in the day. Restoring his planes and saws is what got me started. I absolutely love using his tools. :)

@MichaelKieweg 2 года назад

Respect! That was quite a build. And it came out great.

@ronh9384 2 года назад

I will be using that idea to start on the curved shutters on the two palladium windows I have... Thanks!

@RobbieBolog 2 года назад

Damn, I mean building this is a feat in and of itself, but communicating it so a pleb like me can understand it is way impressive. Nice work with that #spagstick!

@infinityvideoprod 2 года назад

@keithl4779 2 года назад

Lovely job. Good tip with the stick!

@timothymbess 2 года назад

The spiling stick is also called a tick stick or a ticking stick. There are a number of great videos on tick sticking on RU-vid. It's a fantastic trick for cutting awkwardly shaped flooring when you're dealing with tiles, stairs, trying to get around an odd corner, etc.

@barrybroswick5471 2 года назад

Great built, Marc! I actually just discovered the shutter building systems in the latest Rockler catalog and started putting info into the online design wizard on their web site for some larger windows in my living room that have been needing shutters since we moved in 3 years ago and I’ve been wondering “could I do it?”. You made it look doable and I will surely look into a little more seriously after seeing your inspiring video. But, if you have some extra time on your hands, I’m out in SE Aurora so probably not too far from you if you want to help. All windows are rectangular so won’t even need the Spag-stick!

@CptSpears007 2 года назад

@davecurda2350 2 года назад

@weldabar 2 года назад

The idea of doing this in my bedroom has been nagging me in the back of my mind for a bit. I was pleased with your results, and it lets me see what's involved in doing it.

@GloriousAguacate 2 года назад

I'm glad that health and safety seems to be a big thing in this shop. I don't know how many channels I've seen don't have proper PPE if any at all.

@physicsguybrian 2 года назад

Stunning results. Perfect fit and very nice look and function!!! I am surprised you didn't use a centering jig for drilling into end grain? Bits wander off in end grain and I can see it has on several pieces though it appears the degree of offset hasn't had a bad impact. All the detailed work and then hand drilling without a jig caused my eye to start twitching!!! Come on Mr Spag!!!

@woodwhisperer 2 года назад

Haha thanks Brian. One of the keys to woodworking is knowing the actual impact of any particular action you take. If you go through extra steps that have zero impact on the end result, you are either inexperienced or retired. 😉
