A quick hinge preview for you. I won't install the hinges until after the shutters are painted. I have drilled the nail holes into the straps. The wire nails I will fabricate will go all the way through the shutter and then be bent over and clinched on the opposite side of the wood.
I have used a patina product called "Instant Rust" from Modern Options on the hinges. It is real rust but just a light surface coating. I have not used this product before, I am pleased with it. I purchased it in my local hardware store, it is part of a line of decorator products.

The pintles I am using to hang the shutters are very simple to make. I have used annealed steel wire. Make a simple 90 degree L shaped bend and then cut to length. Don't forget to dress off the end of the wire so it is smooth with no sharp edges left from being cut by the pliers. The other end that goes into the wall can be pointed. That is what the cup shaped grinding stone in the Dremel motor is for, dressing smooth the end you don't want to be sharp.

The hinges look great! I really like the rust finish. I guess you have made up your mind then to paint the shutters then. I am going to love them blue.
I wish I'd seen your cleverness before I made simple twirly wire hinges for my grandsons stable gate. These are fab!!
Absolutely fantastic, the detail you put into your work. If I had more time, and fewer projects I would like to try it all out. I'll keep your tutorials. Who knows.....
This is amazing! REAL working shutters! Love the rusty look too.
Las bisagras puestas en la puerta estan de o mas real y con el toque de oxido te han quedado perfectas.
