This is all around amazing!! The craftsmanship, the design, the functionality, the technique, the detail, just everything! Amazing!

Excellent job… that is truly one of the most beautiful Gates I’ve ever seen. I’ve been in construction for over 45 years. Great job!

Not sure how I landed here but glad I did. Excellent craftsmanship and extremely well put together video production.

Done this a few times, the next time around I’ll weld up a steel post mounted to a concrete base, via adjustable studs, as posts always rot out in my area.

The end result amazes me. The parallels, the watercolors, the joint gaps are accurate, which is a serious challenge with such a large size and weight. Moreover, all this in simple conditions and with tools! Congratulations, use it with pride and health.

i made a metal gate almost identical to yours for a guy and used the same principles with the steel as you did with the wood . It was labor intensive work but the end result is good .

Friend did a similar gate, in two parts meeting in the centre, but I don't think his posts were buried as deep. Consequently high winds shifted the posts. One post was actually bolted into the house wall and it tore the fixings out of the brick work. His gates were completely solid, yours at least have some board gaps which should make them less of a sail in high winds. Plenty of comments on it being overbuilt, but I think I'd rather expend twice the effort overbuilding it once, than having to build it twice.

If the gate is anything to go by the house will be amazing. Makes my gate look like it’s for kindling 😮

Great job guys 👌 Another option for posts is digging a minimum 1.2m /4ft deep hole and compacting aggregate around the post.. that way, moisture can escape the posts and stops them rotting out at the base. Also makes replacement easier in the future and is more environmentally friendly than concrete.

That's one impressive gate!

I am stunned the post is able to bear the weight of that gate. the moment of force at the end of the gate must be at least 6000lbs. Looks great. Congratulations.

That’s a HUGE gate! Beautiful though! Great craftsmanship bet the frame weighs 22 stone!(about 300 lbs) he says it weighed 250 kilos, that’s 550 pounds!! Whoa!

Amazing!

Impressive gate. I have an understanding that the diagonal bracing should be orientated in compression rather than tension for maximum strength to prevent racking. Also you stated that you were using treated lumber, inhaling fumes of the treatment chemicals is hazardous. Your gate is a testament to your meticulous standards.

@@218philip yes that’s correct and what I went with on this gate but there are ways of constructing bracing to utilise tension. Due to our wet climate we wanted to use treated timber for the Shou Sugi Ban as a sort of “belt and braces” approach but yes it’s not ideal burning it for sure. Thanks!

I say, that is most splendid correct!

Just a point ! When should Sufi ban is to be used it’s really best practice to burn both sides of the timber to prevent cupping.

Lovely work and gate . Hope it swings ok but not sure for how long it will stay aligned ….good luck

That's giant man, kudos to that standing alone post! And your craftsmenship :) But why not dividing the door into 2 and dividing the weight to both posts, sounds more durable to me? Also as a handtool woodworker, that upwards hand sawing while standing not on the ground was something, I'm pretty sure it didn't finish quick like in the video. Addition to all, diagonals are the right way, not like many videos on youtube. Very very well done

in order for the gate not to slide down over time, a small wheel is required at the far end of the gate that rests on the cement foundation you cast, this is very important!!!!

If you want the gate to last, you really should replace all the galvanised bolts and screws with stainless steel A4. They are vastly more expensive but the acid in the oak will eat away anything else.
