I like the look of the hidden bar. ? Is there a company that makes the bar it white or paintable that would have some type of lever on it to move the shutters vs gabbing one of the louvers?

Yes, it’s called a hidden control arm. I show it being installed towards the back end of this video (I posted earlier)

But here’s a shorter one

So in this design, you just physically move one louvre and sheet metal moves all in sync?

I almost started a shutter company.? I bought the louver material because I didn't have a good dust/chip collection or the cutters.? I don't think I could have made the louvers much cheaper than I could buy them either.?

I changed the design of the shutters because the control rod has inherent issues.? The staples are a bit of a pain to install, they come out with use and are difficult to repair, the control rod obstructs the view a bit, and makes it a little bit more difficult to spray the finish.? Instead of having a control rod in the center, I used a piece of sheet metal that was screwed into the back edge of the louver.? I was initially concerned about the wood tearing out of the end of the louver but the shutters have been installed for 28 years now.? I moved from the house 6 years ago and I didn't have any issues up to that point.? A few years ago I noticed a company was making the same design.? I just found a picture of their shutters..
