The only video on TH-cam that explains clearly and uses regular tools. Also you didn't make me feel like you need 20 years in carpentry to manage this project. You deserve an award, seriously! 👏😘
That truly is quite an incredible accomplishment to make your own shutters like that. I didn't know it was even possible, I thought they had to be done in a factory.
I worked at a factory building window shutters and my hat's off to you!!! I have the knowledge, I even have the tools to build them at home and I don't think I could do better than the amazing work you did here. WOW!!!!
@johnkearns4790 it ain't an easy process. The recording and editing is an animal within itself let alone trying to describe the process. I actually thought of doing a diy but I don't have the patience and my end product would be taken down by youtube due to the number of "f" bombs I would be dropping. Hats of to this young lady .
Absolute genius! Finally someone showing how these can be built without thousands of dollars worth of machinery ( table saw, planer, router table). Millions of thanks for this!
Thanks for a great video! I priced out some California shutters for my house and the quote was $4000. You’re going to save me a pile of money. I’m a professional carpenter but I still learned lots from you!!Great job!
What a great video. Clear, informative and great to follow. I'm so sick of YT videos that are more about people trying to be famous than helpful. This is helpful and makes you a true star. Thank you. You rock .🤘Peace and Love x
geez. come to Houston and lets start a multi-million dollar business! the shutter world out here needs someone like you! what talent and ingenuity! thank you for sharing!
Yes please! I love how easy you make this look, can’t wait to see more from you, I turned on ‘all notifications’ because I’m so excited to see your next project 🙌
Thank you thank you thank you!! You are amazing!! You make it look so easy and explain it so well!! You are a star been looking for a video like this for so long 🙌
Fantastic video. Save thousands of $$$ at home depot if you have $30k worth of machinery in your basement. Nope..Just get along to B&Q and use your home drill,sander and paint brush and most of all your ingenuity and intelligence and for £48 quid voila! Brilliant well done , as others have said, best DIY video on TH-cam. 10/10
I have never been more impressed by any other TH-cam video. In my country, South Africa, this cost about 500 USD per sq metre. R8000.00. I am most definitely going to attempt it. Just a bit concerned about the mechanics of it all. Well done. You'll get another 1000 views from me as I watch it over and over.
Beautiful job! Instead of wooden dowels for the louvers I used 3/16 complete rivets. I put the nail side in the louvers and the larger end into the frame. Glue the small end. And leave the smaller end free to glide open/closed.
You have done an amazing job, looks like it was an easy build, hopefully I can achieve something similar to what you have done. Thank you for sharing from start to finish
Absolutely incredible video, such helpful step by step instructions and watching this has given me the confidence to also make some of these myself rather than buy some! Thank you!!! ❤️😍 Xx
i have bin a joiner / mutly trade builder for over 20 years. you might not realise , your worth. fantastic work and greatly put together. a massive hats off to you. very good indeed
I was going to buy from a 2nd hand store, but no one knew the price. Was told to come back and ask the manager. Of course, they were gone. 😢 They're so awfully expensive, new. I am blown away by you!!! What absolute talent! I may just have to give it a go!! Thank you.
You explain things so well, and you’re not talking too much, like a lot of the men in other videos that I’ve seen. Thank you so much for a great video!
This was so impressive, not only your skill and innovation but the way you explain things. These shutters cost a fortune from a blind company. Well done. Xx
They look absolutely fantastic! You're going to make somebody a VERY happy fella!! 😉 Seriously, they look so professional, think what you could achieve if you had a workspace and a selection of tools. You've got skills young lady!
Ohh my gosh, thanks for sharing this, you're a genius and I appreciate your detailed instructions along with the visuals. I actually believe I can make shutters after watching your video.
Please make more videos. I love that you did this without special tools and the directions were so easy to follow. I have very large windows and the shutters i was looking at are $400! Thank you so much.
0:55 On my test pieces my drill bit doesn't go all the way through to other side so I was getting splitting. To combat this, I mark BOTH sides and then pilot hole both sides trying to get both holes to meet. Then drill the screw in slowly.
Wow!! That is amazing!! I've been in the building trade for many years, and that is an incredible result - even if you had a full workshop!! Well done girl!! I'm actually looking at replacing all of my curtains and blinds with plantation shutters, but was going to have them professionally made. But now, I think I'm just gonna come 'round to your gaf, and get you to help me!!
I think someone making these without a workshop with a host of big expensive machine tools. These are fantastic. Most people even are quite handy wouldn't even attempt them. I'd love to see what you could do if you did have some fancy tools. Operational ones of these cost a fortune and the fact you just knocked them up for under £50 without big fancy tools is very impressive.
@@simsdiy I'm definitely going to give it a bash. I am a woodworker but not this kind of thing. I've just moved into an old house with Victorian panelling around the windows. Some of the videos put me off a bit making them overcomplicated but your video just cut through the joinery snobbery and b.s. and made it relatively simple. Thanks. I'll definitely be checking out the rest of your stuff.
You did so amazing!!!! Best video I have found yet!!! I was so thoroughly impressed with the amount of work you did for these blinds!!!! And they really are beautiful!!!!
Very precise but simple, great job.i was planning on making some shutters but would have used a more complicated process. Glad I saw this video. You're awesome.
My favourite DIY video of ALL TIME. If I could like this 1000 times, I would. I have just been quoted over AUD$4000 for 2 windows. I almost gave up on the dream of having these shutters at home but I have the tools you used and now.. the confidence ;) Thanks so much for sharing! Please keep creating content :)
you clever young lady , im impressed! im going to make some now , thank you for showing us your skills , i really appreciate it , you have inspired me to get up off my arse and do some diy x
I’ve just come across this instructional video as I was searching on how to make these plantation shutters myself. You have given me the inspiration to make them. Thank you very much. Cheers 🍷👍🇦🇺
Well done, an amazing video and great looking results. This has spurred me on to build my own now rather than give my left arm to have them made for me. You should be very proud as I am sure you are. excellent!
Wow!!!! What an amazing video! Your step-by-step instructions are so clear that I think even I can follow and dare to try! Love it! Thank you very much! X
Wonderful! Really helpful. Refreshingly detailed steps. So many videos show the process in fast forward and without any explanation what so ever. You feel like an outsider. But your video is a true DIY guide. Thank you.
I am FINALLY ready to do this and am SOOOOOO grateful I saw your video when I did and saved it. I'm really excited to construct these ESPECIALLY after getting estimates from professional installers! I don't know about anywhere else outside of the U S., but the prices are LUDICROUS!
I've been toying with this as a project but funking it! Having seen your super efforts I am going to get started. Thank you for making me say " what's stopping you"?
Very impressed with how you managed this using sensible price materials from the uks best known diy store and basic tools. You must have a very creative mind to have figured it out. Well done you.
Super impressed that you figured out how to do it with regular tools. Also super impressed that you managed it with that fancy manicure! Thanks for the great video- now I'm considering making them myself!
Young lady what a brilliant video! I've been wanting shutters like these but couldn't afford them. You've shown me how to make them using basic tools and without specialist equipment. Thats my summer projects sorted. Well done 👍👍👍
You have made this look so simple. So well done. I'm a keen woodworker and I cringed a bit whilst you were drilling down with your laminate floor below. You must have the patience of a saint to complete all of these processes by hand. Again, well done. Quite inspirational.

If you have the expertise of making window shutters then you should do a video and let us all see the results

Currently wishing you were my mate! You make it look so easy, (and with no vanity or ego).
Outstanding job! No fancy tools for a lot of $$$, just Your own mind and simple tools :) That's the content I want to see on YT more often :)
Thanks so much ☺️
From a professional trade guy. I thought what you did is absolutely brilliant. They do the job...
Wow, this is ingenious. Using cladding for the louvres was the solution I've been looking for forever, thank you!
Thank you!
Oh my goodness. I litterally paid thousands for these in my home. You make it look so doable. Amazing video. Thank you so much.
I've been thinking for awhile about how to make then and you have save me from making a few mistakes, they look so professional thanks.
So glad I could help ☺️xx
And no broken nails ... well done ... go gurl
Finally! Someone knows what I’m talking about. Excellent Thank you
So glad I could help!☺️xx
This is incredible, for someone who hasn’t got all the best tools or years of experience. The pros need to take note.
Same as a lot of people - nice to see this done using tools that most people would have on hand. Very commendable!
Thank you!

I’m tempted to give this a go!
Thanks for explaining that so well 🙌🙌

Thank you so much! ☺️
Well done. Very well explained and looks good. FYI, I would’ve had a bunch of holes in my hardwood flooring.
This is the best video that I have watched for this type of building! Very well explained.!
Thank you !
Well done! Would advise priming the wood to ensure the pine oils from the wood knots don't seep through.
Great job!! For someone who doesn’t work with hand tools on a daily very nice!!
Young lady what a brilliant video! I've been wanting shutters like these but couldn't afford them. You've shown me how to make them using basic tools and without specialist equipment.
Thats my summer projects sorted. Well done 👍👍👍
Thank you!☺️
Thanks for this amazing video! Great job! You gave this old carpenter New idears! Go girl! Greetz from the netherlands.
Thanks so much! ☺️
Nicely done video. Clear instructions and nice presentation.
Thank you!
This is excellent. So well thought out and presented. Thank you so much.
Impressive to say the least! Great job!!!!! I am going to try this. Simple tools, no faffing around, straightforward.......Thank you!!!
Thank you! Good luck with it
You have made this look so simple. So well done. I'm a keen woodworker and I cringed a bit whilst you were drilling down with your laminate floor below. You must have the patience of a saint to complete all of these processes by hand. Again, well done. Quite inspirational.
Haha thank you so much!
This is brilliant! Thank you so much so much for the tutorial. You have simplified the process for me! Much appreciated!
