Here's a picture during fabrication of the previous weave.

All right Nathan, here is the end result of my little shutter project. I ended up cutting the basic shapes by hand with a plasma torch, and then hammering them out(by hand) to size, final shape and texture. The pieces were then welded together. I just sent it off to get blasted and powder coated so I'll try to post pictures of the installed shutters later. I've included picts from throughout the process.
