    Now the better weather is finally here we can get outside and do jobs like this. What else do you want to see?
  • @THDSCornwall
    A good tip to remember for anyone making their own gate, when drilling through to fit the latch, clamp a scrap piece of wood on the other side so you don’t get any blow out or splintering!
  • Everything was shown and explained in a straightforward, clear, and concise way. I am willing to give this a try, thanks.
  • @semilife
    Beautifully explained and demonstrated from an expert in wood working. So clear and to the point, no fluff nothing you dont need and well paced and detailed.
  • @stephendavies18
    I would say so much better than the cheap and nasty gates in diy sheds but they are certainly NOT cheap. Excellent gate and video 👍
  • @NealAndrews
    I don't need to build a gate, but really good vid and tutorial, I learnt a lot, thank you 👍

    Worth putting a cap on the top end grain. I use dowels to set it in place rather than screwing through from the top of the cap. Drip channel a useful groove in the under surface of the cap

    That bracing information is brilliant, never knew that! One thing I would say; if you haven't a spare bit of timber to clamp to prevent the blow out of wood when drilling through, is to watch for the pilot part of the bit coming through and then to stop drilling that side and locate the pilot hole on the other and drill back. It gives a neater finish and doesn't leave untreated wood exposed (even though the latch will cover it, it's still exposed untreated), but I'm super particular (or picky!)

    As a fence and gate contractor, I can confirm, this is the perfect on site gate! We mortise and tenon our stiles in our workshop. We have had to use the half lap on site many times and never fails. Feather edge and tgv eliminates gapping. However decking boards do look good if you’re not after 100% privacy. Good work and keep up the good work!

    What a beautiful clean job.. Many thanks & keep it up mate
  • @Morbidia
    Magnificent perfect fitting i bet when you turn the handle and everything works its such a great feeling. I love your diy channel its so fascinating.
  • @vman2kay
    Nice gate. Would be nice to see one with a lock done well. I suppose that's why the stop would be put on the front so people can't lift the lock from the other side if it was a locking gate. Always excited to see more videos, keep it up.
  • @irons25
    Perfect timing mate, i need a new gate and youve just inspired me. Thanks
  • @jent1437
    This is exactly what I needed to see, my gate flew off a few weeks ago and I’m wanting to make one exactly like this, great video, thanks!!
  • Brilliant vid. Am planning on putting in a small garden gate during the summer and this is most helpful. Especially the brace section. You my friend have earned a new subscriber.
  • @Baggy2482
    Just finished building my new fence. Something ive never done before . Managed to do a good job thanks to youtube videos like this. Really like this gate but more more to point my wife loves it. So this will hopefully finish it off perfectly. Wish me luck, ive never done a half lap join lol
  • Need to make an external door for an old stone cabin and will use your video as a guide. Thanks.
