Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
This is not just a gate... This is art!
I’d sooner come and look at the workmanship of your farmhouse roof repairs, gate, barn doors etc than visit an art gallery and admire the sculptures and paintings hanging on the wall.
It’s also very therapeutic watching the details of your gate fabrication come together step by step.
Take a bow, both of you.
Agreed
Ditto....
These farm employees do this sort of thing everyday when they have nothing else to do!!!!
This type of craftmanship is a almost a lost work of art too.
The most expensive and incredibly beautiful "dog" gate ever!!! Outstanding
Just ordinary farm workers having a little fun !!!!
You buerk
Did it keep the dog from escaping though?
Your work is a credit to your dedication to the task in hand.
When i was 7 years old the last remaining gardener at my house in England ,he was 86 years old, i believe at the time took me into the village to get a new gate for the vegatable garden. The same gate you have made. HALF that sise
In the village was the wheel wright and next door the black smith.
Ted ordered the gate and they made the gate in oak its there to this very day 71 years ago.
When the gate was finished we went back and ted paid the wheel wright.
The gate was next door at the back smiths ..
The black smith was awaiting instructions to what fixutes we needed.
The styles were all fitted with black rivets big fat ones and hamered through. Then ends were hot and having past through the gate piened over to complete the seal. Water was poured over the hot end to stop it burning the wood. The hot end was facing up so the black smith couls correctly pien it over.
ALL the iron work was black iron dipped in thick oil to preserve it. No bolts were used ,i think because they were expensive and iron was cheaper.
I hope this tells you a little of ENGLAND long past.
my kind regards RogerH.
and now they come from a factory on a wagon and last about 20 years....
Belt and braces, made to last, 👍🔨🌲🇮🇪
Thanks Roger, nice to hear good old English history 👍
The style/design is simple and modest without being uninteresting. The end result also goes to show how just how far good craftmanship can make simple things stand out aesthetically. A lot of items people think of as "functional" are actually seen/looked upon more than they are used, more than any painting in your home, and so they should be beautiful.
She's adorable and absolutely deserved to have such a gorgeous and sturdy gate for her safety.
A cabinet maker in my youth, 1946-47 did this kind of work Mr Pratt, as I remember. He would allow me to watch him if I kept out of the way and didn’t ask questions until he took a rest break. Only power tools were a table saw, band saw and joiner. This young man is truly a master woodworker.
Mr Pratt, for the privilege of allowing me to watch would let me sweep the floor.
Your family’s skills and attention to detail are to be highly commended. It is an absolute pleasure to know there are still those in this world truly appreciate the beauty of wood and hard work. You make all you do a soothing for the soul. Thank you.
I am in awe of these guys. I’m 75 and remember my grandfather who was a cabinet maker…so absorbing.
Man, that oak is so green! It’s amazing the tenon-cutting bit worked at all!
This one was new for me. what a joy. This is truly wood art. All wooden joints are perfect - a beautiful result, that can be admired for decades.
That gate is a wood working piece of art. Magnificent!
I love how you point out every component you are currently working in. Thats a nice and helpful feature. Well deserved subscription.
An absolute pleasure to watch two Craftsmen at work, no nails screws or glue,just pure skill,👌👍BK.
I love how cleanly and professionally you guys work, awesome job.
Just beautiful. I will never look at a timber gate the same way again.
you and me both
What a magnificent gate! It is a delight to watch a father teach a son such valuable skills. Thank you!
I so enjoyed watching. My dad used his carpentry skills as well when he did this kind of work. So wonderful to see y’all doing it the older way.
Doggo at the end confused, wondering "why all this work if I ended-up outside anyways???". Beautiful gate.
Your videos and your craftsmanship are a joy to see. I've watched about 10 of your videos since finding the roof restoration video a few days ago. Amazing work 👍
Because it was such a beautifully made gate I was waiting with baited breath to see it being fully opened and closed!!!
Your dad is a Wizard. Treasure him. You have good skills as well. It is one thing to have nice tools. It is even better to know how to use them. Thanks for the video.
Well done! That is really beautiful. There's a seamless blend of the old with the new. Looking forward to your next project.
I was gonna say “They don’t make gates like that anymore”, but then you proved me wrong. Wonderful!
Rudolf Rednose
There are lots of fence/Gate manufacturers across UK...most even export to Belgium, Nederlands, France , Germany , ect. That daily manufacturer all kinds and size Gates just as in the video.....But it was a, great job ..
English Mik
Still going strong in merry old England, i see them fairly often
I'm so glad that you chose to make the wood fence according to the era of the barn. It looks the part! Fancy & useful.
At the risk of your laughter, I have to say that if you made this item for me, I would have it set up in my living room to be displayed as a work of art. The workmanship is so beautiful. Truly you are a master craftsman. (I mean to include all that worked on it.) I love to watch skilled craftsmen work. There is a familiarity with the wood in the way they handle it that is a joy to watch. Thank you for letting me watch.
I just hope the dog appreciates the hard work and craftsmanship that went into his loss of freedom.
rafa knows what he is doing. his owners are just controlling.
That may be so, but do you know the laws in France concerning dogs roaming free IE, not on the leash.
That was by far one of the best projects I’ve ever seen on UA-cam well done your dog has a great master
I so enjoy watching your videos. You and your dad work so well together. Your work is outstanding!
I love your videos and work. I always reminisced about the glorious keel gates with the special handle that you could open and close from horseback. We found the same plans you used some years ago and were lucky enough to know a carpenter with skills to build this gate for us. It is our pride and joy.
For me it’s not a gate, it’s a piece of art! 👍
A beautiful job that is a credit to the designer and the builders. A joy for ever!
I really like the little pictorial legend you've provided in the lower left corner. It helps viewers understand where we are in the process. Thank you.
Give one person tools and they cut lumber, give another tools are they create magnificent beauty and art. Wonderful.
Ok! I’ve spent the entire morning watching your videos. I’m truly amazed at your work. I’m a designer in historic preservation here in New Orleans Louisiana “USA”. My last project was a 230 french creole sugar plantation. So many techniques you used are familiar here,especially the French home. What a talented man your are!!!!
Beautifully made, and its design is perfect for the setting!
Wow, the gate turned out wonderful, it's a work of ART by it self. Great job.
True craftsmen! All that needs saying. Excellent!
I once saw a description of building a gate and the holes for the bolts were drilled undersize and a bar of the correct dimension was being heated red hot in a small fire (ideal in the weather you were working in). This was then forced through the hole, charring the timber to reduce the chance of rot inside the hole. I loved the video, thanks and cheers from Tasmania.
brilliant, I want to try Shou Sugi Ban at some point
Loved it. Simple tools, nice project, great effect
You guys realize that the dog can still get through that thing, don't you? Beautiful work carpenters. I do concrete form work in NYC (high-rises, bridges, tunnels, etc....) hence seeing your manipulation of hand tools to get the material where it has to be, to such precise dimensions(you're lucky if I go to the 1/8th and when I do, don't push it) and seeing how you locked everything up with minimal hardware and your structure was sound was a testimony to your skill set. I'll rewatch this video to steal your techniques. I learned something. Thank you.
Entertainment, artistry, absolutely amazing carpentry! Please keep making more of these incredible videos.
I judge woodworking by 3 things - quality of design, quality of material and quality of execution. You passed all 3. Simply wonderful work.
thanks for your kind words
Don't judge lest ye be judged! 😊
32:35 stunning result. Nicely done! Great skills.
Incheon zfhvxu 😆👆
Well done guy's!
There's nothing better than seeing someone who makes a product the right way, there's nothing more enjoyable than watching someone finally make something to last a lifetime!!!.
Not only is it a great gate but it will do exactly what you intend it to do unless the dog decides to become an escape artist!!!👍🐕🚜
Oh my goodness a work of art truly is
What you have built here is in fact ''A Bedfordshire farm gate'' in the days of smaller farm machinery and when the horse was the power sauce , each County or Shire, had its own very distinctive design of gate. Some time in early 1980s. I was at the Buckingham county show. A gentleman in his late 80s was displaying scale models of all the gates of England. Sadly little interest was being shown by mostly a younger generation farming at the time. I had a very enlightening conversation with this gentleman about the subject. He was a mine of information. Sadly now long lost.
Thanks for your comment, I’m fascinated to know what’s happened to those models!
@@carlroge @Bryan Coventry - Funny isn't it, I'd describe this as a "Sussex" gate personally. Somewhere I have a catalogue or book that contains several variants as Bryan mentioned, each with their distinctive design and the name of the county included, I'll have to look it out for my own interest. Mercifully, not all the knowledge has been lost, it's rather more tragically being disregarded.
I'd say it was a 'Yeoman Gate', but then, I know nothing about gates. But I do know how to use google.
@z The French however, do do a sauce with horse, as in "filet chevalin en jus"
@@danzabarr That would imply the property the gate was on was a freeman of the realm who does not bear a lawfully granted coat of arms. A rare individual these days. Most people these days are statutory citizens...
Waited so long for a new one, thanks.
Really nice video! Gate looks perfect. Hello to Rafa.. Woof!
I am not a wood worker but greatly appreciate a beautiful piece! Would LOVE to have 2 of those for my driveways!
Fantastic job on the beautiful gate!
ONe of the best carpentry videos on UA-cam. Each step is shown with just the right detail and time. The icon in the lower left corner shows what piece is being worked on. The result is a very lovely gate. Well done!
It's a thing of beauty....Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽😊
Beautiful work gentlemen! I really enjoyed this journey with you.
I just love watching you bring the wood from bowed to a beautiful, professional item. The door, the steps and the farmhouse gate are all so beautifully made and hand crafted, it's just amazing to me. I love your videos. I see there are more of you; which I'm going to watch. I love this father and son team.
Such craftsmanship. Wow. Norm Abrams would be proud of you two.
Gorgeous gate! I didn't know I could like a gate so much
Awesome piece of craftsmanship! Well done guys.
I find your videos extremely relaxing - My ear says your wind chimes were the same ones we had at my family home... Respect to your knowledge/expertise in your field...
What a gate. Beautiful work. Can't even begin to imagine how tired you are at days end. Makes one appreciate things like this when you see it.
Absolutely stunning!!
Well this was a perfect start to my morning.
thank you sir
That gate drawing is magnificent. In structure, it is correct, in that the diagonal brace is placed correctly, running from top of the free end of the gate to base of the side that is suspended on the hinge. The effect of this is that the weight places the diagonal in compression, and in doing so prevents the gate from sagging. All too often I have seen gates where the diagonal is placed the other way around, with it being in tension -- the weight of the gate pulling everything apart, and the gate then sags. It also appears that this gate is of mortice and tenon construction, with bolts in various places for additional structural integrity. Well done!
Another spectacular gateway!!! Love watching you working, gentlemen - you are wonderful craftsmen! 😊
Gorgeous! I haven't seen a new one like that in a while.
Thanks for sharing the idea.
The cross brace is very-very clever solution. Keep the frame square and prevent from the vertical distorsion. I'm totaly impressed ! :)
they knew what they were doing back in the day!
What a time to be alive! A dog named Rafa!! I love It!!
Its incredible how strong, malleable and beautiful wood can be. Love your work
The most beautiful gate I've ever seen. Well done.
That truly is a thing of great beauty, well done!
:)
I love UA-cam when you find the right channels and yours is definately one of those. I find your videos relaxing and inspiring to watch. Here in Portugal there is a saying, "pouca e pouca" which means step by step or little by litte.
I like that the dog still gets a nice clear view through the gate as well, great work
Eine sehr schöne Idee und die Umsetzung ist perfekt. Super handwerkliche Arbeit. Respekt.
Hi Guys!
Beautiful work! I was really wishing you had a large bandsaw the first 5:00min or so... LOL
I really enjoy watching your vids. We are restoring an old 'coeur de ferme' in the Alsace. We did document our work with vids - though we do have a lot of pics. We've finished the house and most of the exterior/structural work on the barn and an additional outbuliding using mainly traditional materials and methods. We are now finishing the interior of the barn and turning the outbuilding into a guest house. Look forward to more of your vids!
haha we actually have an old bandsaw but as it's lost its guides it can't hold any curved lines! we did try :)
@@carlroge I do it day in and day out with the 12 sawzall blade ...been doing it so long .. only needs a light sanding when done ...
Beautiful workmanship and a great video. Love the NO Background Music..
Patience and skill. Skill and patience. A work of art...
Nice to see this level of craftmanship, impressive job!
If you want to cut a curve from thick material without a band saw, cut a template with a jig saw from tempered masonite, sand it fair, attach it to your stock. Use locating marks to be able to attach it to the exact corresponding spot on the other side. Use a long (2"), 1/2" dia. top bearing pattern cutting bit in a good router to cut your shape from each side. Result will be a perfectly square and accurate cut requiring very little sanding.
nice idea, does the cutting bit not have to have more free space around it? as in, can you route straight into the timber or do you need to rough cut so it doesn't clog?
@@carlroge you can route into the timber. But I have a 15amp router. And I'm telling ya what you did with the circular saw is probably gonna be the fastest way besides a giant floor bandsaw or a portable bandsaw.
@@johnwalker7592 Plunge routing with a 2 inch cutting edge sounds scary. I recommend a 1 and 1/8 diameter bit with a 1 inch cutting length. Maybe even start the pattern cut with an even smaller bit. And I would definitely remove all but about 1/8 inch of material outside the line. I use pattern bits so often I have them in dedicated routers. A pattern bit was my first thought when I saw the time put into that beautiful curve.
The design is exquisite. There might be one like it on my driveway soon.
The gate came out very beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Beautiful work! That gate is a perfect addition to the building.
love the result ! Best regards from good old germany !
And yes it was worth the wait brilliant job les deux .
thanks mate, good to hear from you
I took the liberty of buying you, and your work mate a light ale. Thank you. “Imitation is the highest form of flattery”. I shall be giving it a go this weekend with some catalpa wood from a tree we had to cut down last year as it was pressing against the neighbor’s house. I had a mobile sawmill chap come and rough cut the trunk. I have already built a short fence and shall be making a 36 inch wide gate. We lack gates with history or style here. I, with your help, shall attempt to change that. Graham Whatley, Louisville Kentucky.
I second that lake of history.

What a thing of Beauty
This is true craftsmanship
Your gift to mankind is your skill and the pleasure people get from fine craftsmanship.
Thanks
Your gate is truly a work of art.
Ps. I should say , I think a true Bedfordshire gate had full length cross bars. Not as you have them. But a beautiful gate whatever its called. Very well done. a true craftsman.
Great job! The beauty is it’s your idea to fit what you want. The world is not perfect- that’s what makes it perfect 👌
Cracking gate! I remember being young and making the same style gate for the top of our drive way with me old man. Those were the days ! Good work!!
Wow that is one beautiful gate! Great craftsmanship! A hell of a great job...but you already know that😁. No sarcasms meant by my comment...I just hope you know how good you really are...because you deserve a lot of praise for your work. Thank you for sharing.
Hi
Worthy of any aquestrian stable
Beautifully !!
Carl, I have already subscribed to your videos. Besides the fact that I think those old farms are beautiful, I think it'd even better that you restore them. Please keep posting your videos.You're really doing a great job, man. Greetings from Holland, Jeroen
Très beau travail, félicitations 👏🏻
When I found your videos today I couldn’t get enough of them fascinating!
I have often wondered why none of the blade manufacturers have produced a better demolition or “Saws-All” blade with the aggressively sharp Japanese style teeth.
Absolutely beautiful work as ever Carl
nice to see something built to last hundreds of years...
Que bacana!
parabéns!
Estas porteiras com montantes de encaixe, travadas com cavilhas de madeira, são muito melhores e duráveis que estas feitas tipo sanduíche! É uma verdadeira benfeitoria!
Lovely. Well made. You really ticked off the boxes with your square joinery and proper fit. Lovely oak as well.
That oak is so beautiful. The design and workmanship are incredible
Great watching all the craftsmanship in yr videos , especially the carpentry. Reminds me of my grandad and the traditional tools he used too, many of which we still have.
Much as I like this gate, I think my favourite has to be your roofing project.
Well done.
👍 -> There's nothing more to say about it, everything perfect!
thank you
LOVELY .... a right work of art !!
Really appreciate that you do so much with so little.. (nice to see a farm shop on UA-cam)
