Is there anybody out there that's building shutter curtains? I'd like the opportunity to visit with someone and compare notes.

I'm making a curtain for a 3x4 RB, following Bert's recipe. I'm using bellows fabric from Turner Bellows @ $15/yard. Joe Merry is the person to order from there. Material looks good. Will report progress.

Thanks for the info, I'll contact them tomorrow. In reference to your shutter, are you using Bert's stiffeners? The reason for asking is that I've been fabricating shutters for a couple of years and believe I've developed a method that is much easier, faster and more dependable than the traditional crimped stiffeners. You can e-mail me directly if you'd like. mhenry26@cox.net

I'm making the stiffeners...so far, not so good. Bert's direx call for .005 aluminium, I'm using .005 brass...too stiff to bend easily using a clipboard. But I figure my first curtain is a trial run; if I make too much of a mess I'll trouble Bert for the pre-bent set.
