I fancy having a go at making some Plantation Shutters for my house. Not interested in buying any and having somebody fit them for me.

I'd appreciate any tips or advice on how to make them would be muchly appreciated.

What tools have you got? I'm fancying some too but can't justify a half decent table saw or see a sensible way around one. I guess paying to have the slats milled would work but it goes against my inclinations.

Jk

I think you need to find hinges that will fit first. The rest is just woodwork. Will be a nice project I think. Quality materials will be key as the sections will be relatively thin.

I've got a Router which I bought to make my Bed. Never used it since.

Happy to buy other kit as they will probably cost less than getting a company to make and fit the shutters.

😀

Any ideas where I could get some hinges because I'm drawing a blank at the moment?

Cheers

Hopeful bump for more info

What cuts were you seeing as problematic; most table saw cuts can be done with a plunge saw with some ingenuity? 

Was going to add this to my earlier reply but was too slow with the edit.

Have a look through Peter Millard's YouTube videos on tracksaws for some useful tips for the table saw deficient workshop. I own a tablesaw and a bandsaw but frequently find that making do with a track/plunge saw is quicker than setting them up.
