Thanks, 👍 I do,it with cheap pairs of gates the same, rails across to hinges on each end, boards on with one nail in the top n bottom rail then cut it in the middle, sometimes there's a little sagging when the weight is released but that's why i just put one nail in each board so it can be lifted 👍😉
@@Gidjoiner yeah I can see myself using that idea too. Glad I found your channel, always pick up something new. Such as putting the chamfer on timber through the thicknesser using that jig, like you used when you repaired that front door. Keep up the good work.
My hart was starting to flutter a bit when I I saw you digging those post holes, I got some 10 foot posts to go in when I can get round to it and I am not looking forward to doing it as people in the road that backs on to that fence have been fly tipping against it for over 30 years! Oh the joy 😒😒😒 but hay ho. Yet another great video, by the way Gid, nice trick with the small gate 😃👍👍👍👍
😁 yep it's easier & matches/lines up with the rest of the fence 👍 .as i wrote on James's comment - it looks like it dropped a bit in the video but it was a perspective thing because i cut a piece out to make clearance, & that's why i only put a couple of screws in so i can tweek it after, 😉 Thanks.
WolfAir 6L, It'll fire the 90mm nails no prob, you need to let it keep up with you but on a job like this you're only firing a few at a time n a gap while you get the next piece set up before firing again, at least 20yr old, no maintenance, doesn't need oil n never an issue, bit noisy tho 🙉😂 I sold my Paslodes, they became very temperamental, you'd get the wood in position, pull the trigger n it'd just click. f#*k, so went back to the Dewalt air gun, fires every time 😊
@@Gidjoiner yeah I've had issues with paslodes, even old gas is an issue with them. I'm just looking for something to fire off a few brads while I'm glueing up. I'm only a hobbyist so it looks ideal, I'll have a look online. Thanks.
Hi, Yep my back was fine, rained last Fri but delivery for concrete stuff wasn't due until Sat, I can always pick faults but yeah it turned out ok 👍 No prob, Thanks
Great video. You kept saying that the customer didn't want to see any posts or braces from Inside the garden, is there not some kind of "code" that says the good side must face outwards or towards the neighbours?
Thanks Jason 👍 No written code just an agreement between the neighbours, these two were going halves on the price so it was boarded both sides as to try to give it two good faces, the garden i was in were my friends/clients so the posts sort of went on the other side, but as they were sharing the bill i had to try accommodate both neighbours, somebody was going to get the posts 😏 In other cases where i'm just working for one client i put the good side towards the people i'm working for, the ones who are paying for it, it's all discussed tho & i express that they need to discuss with the neighbours, quite often the 'other' neighbour will show their face & try to explain what is planned, that way i'm not called back to 'fix it', If it's a rail & paling fence like this but only boarded one side & is for security, i would put the rails inside so it's harder to climb up from outside the property, it also looks better from an outside point of view if it's a boundary fence, When i was growing up i heard of things like, 'that's my fence' or 'that's your fence, ' the one on the left is mine' or 'the one on the right is mine' but life doesn't work like that, not nowadays anyway, it's mostly is common sense, compromise, respect or consideration for others.... Sorry i got mixed up with which fence this is but most of what i wrote still applies, it was boarded outside for security but she didn't want to see the rails inside so it was double boarded, 🤦♂️👴👍👍
Yeah you'd think so but that would have left me with a thin strip of wood that's prone to breakage, a lot of these palings have knots in them, & the preservative on these is pressure treated but it only goes into the wood max 5mm so i would have had an untreated edge of bare wood, I could've put some treatment on but it would only have been on the surface, not really soaking in, Aesthetics weren't important on this fence, a longer life was chosen over looks. This is north England, it rains a fair bit here .
Gid joiner That makes sense. I’m building fencing and gates here in California and I worry more about the sun. Also, seams like many of my clients try to push aesthetics over function when we initially meet. I typically stroke their requests but slowly convince them that my way makes better sense.
Yep sometimes it's the client gets what the client want, not always for the best, some choices if made by the client can come back n bite you if your not firm & push your pro opinion. I would have cut them if i thought it mattered or for someone else but this woman is an old friend & doesn't care too much about the outside, "i won't be looking at that when I'm sat in my garden" she says, so i made a sensible/educated decision, If I'd ripped them bits down I'd have given em a couple of yrs-ish & I'd get a call to come fix them, Bit jealous of your sun, pisses it down a lot here, wooden structures don't last long, traditionally houses are brick or stone, only recently have timber framed buildings started to appear, introduced from Scandinavia & N Europe,
If i had a level the correct width & I've tried using a long piece as a spacer in the past, it doesn't work, it just gets jammed, that's why i use a small block
Yep, all mine are Stabila, this is my old 6' one, used for outside dirty stuff, i have another 6' narrower one that's kept aside for good clean work, Expensive yeah, but Stabila's the best, my 1m 83s cost me £80+ but i still trust it as i did 25yrs ago, my original got nicked otherwise it'd be 34yrs old I'm sure
Gid joiner I baught my first stabila in 1988 three foot long like an RSJ still got it £38 it was I had a very similar Stanley before that and don't know what I paid for that we had only just turned decimal 😂
yeah the 83s is the one like an RSJ, the original i bought in 84 when i started, had to get credit from the firm i was working at, couldn't believe how much i was expected to pay 😲 Yep i grew up in the 70s. ½p chews 😋
Still a great video Gid !!! master class !!
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed it 👍😊
Loved the gate trick! I'm picking up a lot of tips from your videos. Thanks for posting 👍
😉👍 Thanks, you're welcome 👍
That gate idea is blooming clever for a little job like that.
Thanks, 👍 I do,it with cheap pairs of gates the same, rails across to hinges on each end, boards on with one nail in the top n bottom rail then cut it in the middle, sometimes there's a little sagging when the weight is released but that's why i just put one nail in each board so it can be lifted 👍😉

👍😉
Great idea making the gate, so simple and effective.
Yep it works 👍
it looks like it dropped a bit in the video but it was a perspective thing because i cut a piece out to make clearance, 😉
Thanks

Brilliant video Gid
clever idea with the gate will be copying that thanks

That's a handy wee compressor.

great work again
Thanks Andy 😊👍
Nice Job Gid, hope your back held out to finish the job 👍
At least weather held out for you and you didn’t have rain!
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Gid.
Hi, Yep my back was fine, rained last Fri but delivery for concrete stuff wasn't due until Sat,
I can always pick faults but yeah it turned out ok 👍
No prob, Thanks
Great vid
Thanks Stephen 👍😊
Lot of work for one man, especially for what most are prepared to pay.
Yeah, I'm getting a little old for these but concrete mixer & nailguns make it easier 😉
Great how to Thanks
Good 👍👍
Thanks Micheal, you're welcome 😉
Happy new hair cut!
Spring will be here soon, time for shearing 😉

Smart - worth a sub
Thanks 👍
Nice Haircut
good looking fence how long take you to finish the project from start to finish.
Thanks, sorry not sure exactly, 3days-ish
Instead of pushing the pickets together, wouldn’t have ripping them down so the gap matches have made more sense?
Yeah you'd think so but that would have left me with a thin strip of wood that's prone to breakage, a lot of these palings have knots in them, & the preservative on these is pressure treated but it only goes into the wood max 5mm so i would have had an untreated edge of bare wood, I could've put some treatment on but it would only have been on the surface, not really soaking in, Aesthetics weren't important on this fence, a longer life was chosen over looks.

Should have used a level as a spacer you can check for plumb as you go
If i had a level the correct width & I've tried using a long piece as a spacer in the past, it doesn't work, it just gets jammed, that's why i use a small block
Gid joiner I use a six ft stabila 50 mil wide and have no problems . Expensive though that's the only drawback 👍
Yep, all mine are Stabila, this is my old 6' one, used for outside dirty stuff, i have another 6' narrower one that's kept aside for good clean work,
Expensive yeah, but Stabila's the best, my 1m 83s cost me £80+ but i still trust it as i did 25yrs ago, my original got nicked otherwise it'd be 34yrs old I'm sure
