Making Plantation Shutters
Wow!! I just found this site - it's fantastic! Can anyone recomend a shaper, molder, planer, other to cut the slats for plantation shutters. Using Woodline's shutter set on the router is one option, but appears a little slow/clumsy if I need to make very many. I purchased Norm's video and plans, but they don't list equipment suppliers. Or, does anyone know of a supplier of pre-made slats. The slat production appears to be the biggest challenge in making the shutters. Thanks.

These work great if you want to do a bunch. I just put this up on craiglist.
Making Plantation Shutters
A few years ago I subscribed to Woodworking Video Magazine (since has gone under). The very first issue had instructions and a clever way to make the slats using a small planer. See if anyone on the site has a copy that you could buy or use. I'd send you mine but I sold the entire set. Good Luck. Ed
