@fcschoenthal, care to share any construction detals on that shutter design? I am expecting a similar home overhaul in the next year or so, and really like your style!
Wish I could do that, but that one was just the table saw, chamfer bit and staple gun. Probably took 15 minutes to make.
After those, I've got to (re)wrap 2 columns and come up with a railing. But I've talked her into a simple 3 board rail, so nothing hard there either.
@gee-dub, do you have any tricks to getting the stopblock set to the correct length before batching those out? Or just the basic trials on a sacrificial piece?

Still lumbering along . . . I use a miter gauge and a 45 degree stop block to cut frame parts for the most part. I cut an opposing 45 degree angle on each end of the blanks as a starting point.
This allows me to select the division point for the long and short members. I often get to eliminate defects or undesirable visible elements that I don't want by working towards the "bad" section from each end.
I think this makes this approach more clear(?).
I have all the short sections mitered to length.
I set the 45 degree stop block for the long pieces and go at it.
I end up here. This is just a dry fit setting on the tablesaw but, you get the idea.
On and on . . .
