Here's my written guide if it helps: thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/woodworking/how-to-build-a-wooden-gate-6/

This is what KZread should be about, love it! Really good videos, lol I came across your channel do to the Royal Mail video but I'll subscribe. Keep up the great work!

That trick for the rip cut is brilliant.

Thank you so much for this. My Mum just brought a house with a narrow side entry like this and there is no gate. This has made me feel a lot better.

Your father is very knowledgeable... very useful video... his instructions well executed too... great job...

Traditional names for both types are, ledged and battoned door, same as in video, ledged battoned and braced door is the same but with the addition of angled bracing for extra strength and resistance to sagging opposite the hinge side. :-) great video again vickie.

Another brilliant job and it’s inspired me to start a similar project a 14x8 summerhouse/ workshop with a side shed.

It looks amazing, of course!

I discovered your channel last week and I'm completely hooked and have been working my way through your videos. It's been great to see you increase your skills over the years. I'm a carpenter's daughter too and my father taught me some of his woodworking skills. Your videos have inspired me to get out my power tools and do some DIY around the house.

How about a cabin hook to hold it open when you need to, or just to stop it blowing shut behind you? You could end up having to climb the fence to get back through.👍🏼

Going to be making a similar gate soon! Top video! Beautiful woman who is good at DIY! What's not to like. New sub from me

Great stuff, looks really good - a little surprised that you didn't use some sash cramps to squeeze the boards together in case they shrink and the gaps open? We have a T&G shed that's stained black but has orange stripes in the warm weather when the boards shrink and the original wood preservative shows!

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK

I know what he'd say to that as he's said it before... he doesn't like to make tongue and grooves too tight due to expansion.

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK

And true about the stripes. But they'll shrink back when the weather changes, so I make sure I stain the grooves when they appear in the summer

Perfect video just in time ☺. Where did you purchase the ring latch from?

There is always alot more to a gate than people first expect. Getting hinges and latches all lined up can be a nightmare, especially on older warped gates. I did wonder why you were putting all the hardware on the nice side but then realised you had another gate further down the alley. I guess double security with the low fence next door.

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, double security :) The other gate is pretty much identical to this one, but my Dad made that one when I wasn't there.

I cannot get enough of that beautiful and very funny dog. Any chance you'd make a video about him?

Me too :) What kind of video were you thinking?

Hi there, any reason why you fixed the hinges to the face of the boards and not the frame?

Nicely done. So is that hinge and lock on the inside of the property? Be odd if latch was outside? Looking at similar but we ended up just drilling hole into brick wall to take bolt as side was too narrow to fit any wooden posts...

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK

Jigsaws are not really suitable for long straight cuts, that small circular saw would be a better choice, however I would recommend a timber battern either clamped or temporarily screwed as a guide with either tool.
