How to make wooden blinds

[@georges9862]

Love this guy, so Ernest and genuine shows it all good bad and funny...and a great tradesman ....some great skills.

[@TheShackHome]

George thank you you are too kind.

[@StevewiththePbass]

Went looking for "Wooden blinds" ideas to block off the street side of my carport. This is EXACTLY what was in my head. Super helpful, thanks for making this man!

[@flowgood123]

I wish I could see it all in one shot, but I love what you did now. I will try it.! Thanks

Este es el video que anduve buscando mucho tiempo…Gracias!!!

Beautiful and functional 💯🥂🍾

[@frednot809]

Amazing job sir. Thank you very much for sharing. I was tasked by my boss to find a way to make a louvered privacy fence for around his grill area. Normally I have to search for several hours to find a fitting video. This was the second video I watched and I can gladly say I am done searching. Again, I thank you very much for sharing

[@TheShackHome]

Fred Not you are too kind. You are so welcome. I would love to know how thing came out. Thanks for viewing.

[@frednot809]

@@TheShackHome I will be sure to let you know good sir.

[@bigviper64]

It’’s SO refreshing to see someone that has the same problems that I do, you have more patience tho. It’s also nice to have the right tools for the job!

[@TheShackHome]

Having the right tool is always a bonus if I didn’t let things roll of I might have keeled over from stress

[@pineappletop8751]

Thank you for explaining how to set up the slats for consistency. I will use this technique to build my small angled slatted privacy screen.

[@JenkinsB]

Heck ya man, using this technique for my pergola louver roof. Thank you!

[@DKLGalactus5]

you know this is a great video as the tools your using is some what affordable or can, buy something close to it. The other channels have like three thousand dollar saw tables and punch machine this that are not realistic for the average person, but your video is doable thanks great job.

[@zairabonilla4670]

Exactly that I need. Thanks for the video!

That Looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Michael thank you, I don’t mind either but it does sometimes make it hard if I’m filming outside. Thanks for viewing.

[@sunsethwy66]

Thanks for the video. This did inspire me. I want to do something similar with my covered deck, but something on hinges that can be opened and closed.

[@DivineDestiny44556]

sir why 40 degree angle?? i want an angle that keeps the rain put but lets enough light and air in. have you found 40 degrees worked grest for you?? thanks in advance

[@TheShackHome]

40° isn’t the perfect angle it’s just what worked for this project. Having them overlap, a little, helped prevent any rain from coming in if it was to rain with a little bit of a breeze. still allowed airflow because he used that patio area for cooking for his catering business and still allowed some sunlight in. mainly keep rain out and keep the wind to a minimum because it does get windy in his area

[@DivineDestiny44556]

thanks for getting back, i need it for something similar; seating area for outside a cafe, need light and air to breeze through but keep rain out.

[@randy30324]

Excellent job. No fancy shop required! ⭐

[@TheShackHome]

Randy thank you. Fancy shop might be nice but I've seen too many fantastic talented craftsmen that don't have fancy shops and they do unbelievable work. Its just nice to have all the tools and plenty of room. I wish I had some of their talent. I just get by.

[@theyrecomingtogetyoubarbar7007]

👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼....Thank you for leaving your mistakes in! I like watching "People" do improvements, and not just "Professionals". Everyone makes honest mistakes, and like you said, it hopefully helps remind others so they don't make the same mistake. Loved it! Keep up the GREAT work, and am TOTALLY Subscribing!! Thanks again!! 👍🏼👏🏼

Jonathon Campbell thank you sir. Thanks for viewing

[@daver7867]

can you use stainless steel screws to attach louvres if you dont have brad nailer....in theory it should work but will take a bit longer ?

[@TheShackHome]

Dave absolutely. Just take an added precaution predrill so you don't split the wood especially the slats and thanks for viewing

[@jonmiles24]

Japan is great I lived there for 7 1/2 yrs. Thanks for teaching. (I am a novice at best).

[@TheShackHome]

Jon I'm jealous, I'd love to spend time in Japan to do at least one home, Refurbish it to give back to the community. I really enjoy the time I get to spend there I wish I could travel the country and just see more. It's so beautiful; I love the traditional architect and the countryside outside Tokyo. I never conceder myself a teacher but If by guiding and trying to show how to do a few things help the viewer I will humbly accept. Remember a novice is just the beginning. We all start some where.

Good Hair day! Thanks for this video!

[@kadeedwards4390]

Nice. Thanks for showing the little errors. e all measure things then realise we missed something at some stage and your not the first person to have bits of timber fall off a wall. Its is great to see a real video with a few mess ups as that is what happens in the real world. Once again thanks

[@TheShackHome]

Kade I’m a bit embarrassed but true my best laid planes rarely go without a flaw. I’ve never built blinds before it was a great learning experience. If through my mistakes and failures the viewer can learn what NOT to do its all worth it. Your complement is greatly appreciated and thanks for viewing.

[@kadeedwards4390]

I will be giving it a go in a week or so and your video was most helpful. Cheers

[@daver7867]

nice video...thanks for showing us the mistakes and flaws that come with building....just a question...why do the blinds over hang on the outside, is there a reason and can you line them flush ? i realise you made this 6 years ago but thankyou.

[@TheShackHome]

Dave R The customer just wanted something to shade and lessen the wind on his patio where he has a full outdoor kitchen. so I let them over hang a bit for rain to drip down and not splash in side. also why they don't move just something to cut down on the wind but still allowed air flow for ventilation.

[@daver7867]

@@TheShackHome makes sense..thankyou

Igrahimovic, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to view.

[@boashna]

I had a renter do this with standard blinds and he cut the airflow so mush that ceiling started mildewing . I think we need to use all or none methode . .either you do not let moister in by sealing it or you make sure thee is so much airflow that it will dry right away..

[@freespirit6386]

Thank you for this video. Been looking at tho exact idea for ages. Your tutorial is so easy to follow. It looks good. Did any rain get in?

[@TheShackHome]

FS You are welcome and Thank you for viewing. we don't get much rain and what little we did get i don't think so. My customer never said anything.

[@leomiranda2809]

Very nice... You inspired me. Thanks.

[@TheShackHome]

L Miranda I'm happy you're inspired. If I can do that to 1 person I've done my job. Like I say build it for your sanity. Thank you for viewing.

[@brianswanke4639]

Cool build. The only thing I would have done different would be to have used a 2x10 for the bottom board that sits on the wall so you could have kicked out that corner to make it square. Great build though!

[@TheShackHome]

Brian Swanke I considered many different options but he did not want any type of a ledge just something to block the wind and keep out rain when and if it ever does rain. I just can't believe whoever built that little wall did such a poor job. Even though the difference in money would not have been that much it's what he wanted and I have done quite a bit of work for him so I tend to cater to what he wants within reason. Thank you Brian for viewing and believe me I even was considering making that a mantle style Around the whole ledge to really make it nice but again money and he didn't want to go that much

[@richardwright8902]

ok, ty for the reply. how can I do it to be able to close them. I liked the 1x going up the middle.

[@osajohnson1957]

Ok, These look very nice. These are shutters, not blinds, though. I'll keep looking for the right link.

[@markybolton]

Do they open and lose or just stationary?

[@TheShackHome]

Mark Bolton my customer just wanted some shade and still have the air for ventilation so these are stationary. if you looking to have moveable one Rockler has a kit or plans for shades that open and close.

[@jatflash]

Very nice. Good job. I need to make something similar. Any idea how to make the slats pivot and close?

[@TheShackHome]

There are a few videos for that I'd check Rockler i believe they have a jig for that. There is more involved for them to pivot here is a link at least give you a starting point. www.rockler.com/shutter

[@FernandoTorres-mk8mb]

sometimes even the best need a helping hand

[@contentex1]

Isnt it too dark? Is i comfortable and chill inside? Thanks for the video!

[@TheShackHome]

contentex it does just what the customer wanted. helps shade the house in the summer and deflects the rain the few time we have it and still allows air or a little breeze to come through. Thank you for viewing and commenting.

[@yummy678ify]

We'res the m18 finish nailer ?

My Milwaukee nailes has arrived. Here is a link to the review kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXm3k5aJmNV6rZY

[@richardwright8902]

very nice but you can't open and shut when you want to.

[@TheShackHome]

Richard the customer only wanted it this way just to cut out some of the sunlight and still have air flow. It would of been much more expensive to make them closeable. Thanks for viewing

jaspatters if your asking about the app i used in this video its called My Measure. I don't use it all the time but when i need it, it comes in quite handy. Especially if i don't have any paper or something to write with i just snap a pic and attach the measurements and off i go.Hope this helps thanks for viewing.
