Excellant
I strongly suggest you get a skate board to move heavy things by yourself. I have a heavy duty one dedicated to this. It has plenty of screw holes in various places.
@@johnlong1100 that sounds like a good idea, thanks John
Beautiful build! (550LBS) Came out very nice. Greetings from California!
@@donsmith9081 Hi Don, thanks!
You checked for plumb you mean? Amazing gate
Why did I spend a five year apprenticeship learning to mortice and tennon. When a simple half lap would do. Must kick myself for spending the past forty years doing it in a tried and tested fashion. Viewers beware of many skills online.
This is not a "how to build" video, this is just how I did it as a DIY'er. not everyone is as fortunate as you are to have forty years of wood working experience under their belt.
Overkill
Very nice Work !
I admire not only your craftsmanship skills but also the patience to it in such fine detail. It turned out beautiful. Hats off!
Smart move 👌
Impressive all round folks, thanks for posting.
Beautifully craftsmanship! What brand gate opener did you use?
@@joshuahasson9687 Thanks Joshua, the gate opener is made by Topens
Ingenious and beautiful log staircase,which fits perfectly in the property
Extremely impressed by both your skills, very professional (actually better than a professional with the attention to detail you do)
@@Anders_HeymSR30 I don’t know about that but very kind of you to say, thank you
What a fantastic house! Once renovated it will be absolutely amazing! Whereabouts in the UK are you?
@@Anders_HeymSR30 thanks! We’re up in Scotland
Stihl to the rescue!
Great progress guys.
Excellent work! And two very lovely and well behaved German rough haired pointers
A lot of hard work, but very satisfying to watch
Please capitalize the R in restoration, in your channel name.
also well done on the gate, looks beautiful.
That looks fantastic, but shouldn't we be a bit shy about it falling down to one side ?
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
@@e139439 thanks! We only went for one large gate instead of two because we prefer the look but yes it would have been much easier
hmmm gate post not far enough in the ground, gate too heavy, how long did it take to move the gate post ?
Awesome project! I'm amased on how quickly it opens good job!
It doesn't look like hardwood? What type of wood you use?
@@brumasbusiness the posts are oak and the gate frame is a C16 construction grade softwood (most likely pine or spruce)
Nice job guys
@@glenn9989 thanks Glenn
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!
Great workmanship & a brilliant result. Steve.
WOW !!! That's a beautiful gate !! 😃 As a side note... Have you considered an alternate power source and/or battery backup in case of power loss ?
@@tvanloon3995 hi, yes this is something I looked into but I think I’m going to hold out as the plan is to incorporate a backup generator for the whole house when we do the electrics on the main build. However, we’re a long way from that point at the moment so for now if we have any power cuts we will have to operate it manually
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 .
That's one impressive gate!
Great video! The only problem was that at exactly 22:50 you made my gate open 😂
I would have used a UV/water protectant wood stain on the fence before adding all the locking hardware to protect the wood from the elements. raw wood outside isn't the best idea with no weather proofing.
@@King_TuTT all the wood has been pressure treated before installation
@@project.restoration yes, but I still would highly recommend another layer of protection that is easy to do. That project is lots of money and work to not take care of it. looks excellent by the way! I recommend this stuff. Cabot® Semi-Transparent Stain & Sealer Low VOC is a deep-penetrating, linseed oil-based stain that beautify and protect exterior wood. comes in all kinds of colors.
G'day, For some reason, this video has popped up on my UA-cam. I'm glad it did. 🤗 You guys have done an awesome job constructing your gate. Well done. Q. The hinges you used. Are they able to be adjusted to allow for any slight sagging over time. ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
@@kevinhamling1963 Hi Kevin, yes they are threaded so can be tightened or loosened from the back of the post to raise or lower the gate. Thanks!
👍🔥
Great work! The only concern is the fiction on the hinges
Brilliant work and brilliant editing makes it an easy watch 👍🏻 just subscribed
@@Denscaff82 thanks Den!
There's power. :)
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!!!!
@@per-goranborjesson2045 I did purchase one but wheels can not be used with an electric opening system, it was stated in the installation manual
top tier!
Please come to my house ( also a restoration) and do some woodwork 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Proper job mate craftsman/women at its finest 👍
@@Davey-ys1dx thanks Davey!
How does this not rot?
@@joniboulware1436 all wooden gate posts are subject to rot, all you can do is work on reducing the onset with hardy timbers, treatments and drainage.
Why are you puttin the wood directly into the concrete? It will rot soon or not?
@@Venezien85 that’s the only way to acquire the stability that it requires. All wood in our climate will eventually rot but this should last us a very long time before that becomes an issue
Wonderful result 😊👍🏻
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!
Very nice job very nice
Nice Job ❤
Класссс!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL…
Hmmm… why did you mount it on the exterior fence post? I would have thought the post abutting the retaining wall would be better and allow a flush 180degree opening and allow access into property from both lanes.
@@hellsangel2005 no reason for hanging on that post other than we preferred it to open that way. As for the 180° opening from both sides, the electric opener wouldn’t all that, it only opens to a maximum of something like 110°
@@project.restoration gotcha. That makes sense. I figured there was a reason. F-ing beautiful gate!! The framing looks remarkable.
@@hellsangel2005 thanks!
