At my friends I found two wooden shutters, one is this Thornton Pickard shutter which had the curtains in pretty bad shape but every else was working fine.
It has been a very long project, since I opened and check all pieces it passed several months, first I ordered curtains from Japan but then I found soviet curtains (thicker) than the Japanese ones. Being this my first project wit such shutter and materials I decided to go for the soviet ones, I checked dimensions from the original and I transferred to the new... All went fine except the part I broke the original string while trying the final tests, now it has one cheap I found but I'm looking for a nicer...
Drawing the new curtains.
The cut.
Left roller.
Right roller second part.
Almost done.
Thornton Pickard shutter.
Speeds are far to be fine, lowest is correct 1/15sec but fastest I only get 1/30sec, maybe the curtains are heavy?
Pretty happy and it's quiet easy once you get the movements, now the Cooke-Voigtlander Anastigmat is waiting
Thank you for looking,
Alex
