absolutely stunning love your videos and the music in the add was amazing love it and I love working with oak brilliant work man-ship tanks for the video
Wow, astounding work mate! 👍🏾 Love the chunky solid look, that medieval feel about them. 👌🏾 Those Magswitches are a brilliant versatile bit of kit too... Take care buddy.
You can watch lots of UA-cam videos and they kinda all seem the same trying to advertise things . Then you come across a video and talent that's towers above the rest. We'll this is that video was blown away by your skills. Great video thank you
Cheers , I do some time flip the legs or stiles and cut Dominoes from both sides to increase from 14 mil to the larger 18 or so to be honest 14 mil is big enough for most things
Brilliant looking gates. I'm looking to make my first oak singer gate with a steel frame and an oak clad infill, do you use kiln dried oak for your gates then put it outside? If so How do you avoid the swelling and warping etc when it absorbs the moisture ? Thanks Colin
Hey man, love your work and designs! One question though, as I am building a biig oak gate myself right now: How did you level these as they are mounted to the wall like that?? I also have a set up where I need to hang them from opposing walls and I fear that the connection of the hinges to the wall mounted hardware just sags... Any help so much appreciated, searched the whole internet, didnt find anything
Another lovely addition. Interestingly time wise did the M&T gates take much longer to do than the domino set as you made the massive dominos which must have taken time. Just about to make a front door myself with T&G bottom panel. 2mm expansion gap between boards on your gates?
Great video and similar how i make garage doors however i am lost as to why you use the domino as a mortiser? All that high end Felder gear and yet you dont own a proper mortising machine? Somehow i find that hard to believe. Anyway great video as always and thanks for sharing
Wow! Another fantastic gate. At 14:53 it seems that you're putting a slight slope on the top edge of the rails. Is that for shedding water away from the gate? Did you slope the top edges of the braces too? I'm collecting water in the brace corners on my gate. I'll have to fix that. One of the benefits of using the epoxy resin for the adhesive is that it doesn’t contain moisture, so it does not swell the tendons or the mortises but lubricates them instead, which you told us.
Great video Andy. With the hard wax oil finish, do you expect the gates to keep their ‘raw’/golden oak colour (and if so, how often do you think you’ll need to re-apply) or will you let them weather over time to grey/silver?
Thanks Andy. I made the mistake of varnishing my oak gates - gradually flaked off in small patches which weathered grey. Looked awful in patches. Guessing the oil will wear more evenly. Mine are going to be refinished raw or maybe oil. Lessons learned etc.! Wish I’d come to you to have had them made in the first place (I only live 15 miles away) - they were made with no allowance for expansion and warped dramatically last winter with the wet weather 🙄
A properly made traditional oak garden gate would not be made this way, simply because after a few year's the glued joints would fail and the gate will sag and fall apart. So sad to see how degraded my trade has become that we have to compete with guys like this. Their shortcuts allow them to bid lower but customer's these days are not wise to this hack work and fall for it all the time.
Fantastic job looks awesome thanks for sharing and remember#stay safe and make. 🍺🍺👍👍
Nicely done. Thanks for showing us.
Thos gates look fantastic. Well done
Так приятно смотреть на работу профессионала! Результат превосходный!
Great gates ! A good example of using modern machinery to make traditional joints.😀🇬🇧
cheers Phil :)

Wow, astounding work mate! 👍🏾
Love the chunky solid look, that medieval feel about them. 👌🏾
Those Magswitches are a brilliant versatile bit of kit too...
Take care buddy.
Thanks! Will do!
They turned out fantastic! Some day you will have to build a skate deck.

Thank you:)
Nice work champion. Would love to see you do a double thick mega-mortice with the domino one of these days.
Cheers , I do some time flip the legs or stiles and cut Dominoes from both sides to increase from 14 mil to the larger 18 or so to be honest 14 mil is big enough for most things
Sorry mate but I was too busy drooling over the tools to see what you even built............ Nice job I guess LOL :):)
beautiful workshop , and the gate look absolutely stunning. can i as what is thickness of that gate ?

It’s air dried oak :)
Great work! How thick are the frames and the boards? Thx
It looks like the last gate he made. If I had those tools I could do that
But you don't and you can't. Even if you did you couldn't.
Felder USA, fill yer boots.

Haha, Check our next gate build coming soon :)
@@ManorWoodlooking forward to it :)
Fantastic quality work but did you use steel fastenings to secure the T&G? (The oak will go black around steel).

Nice one Andy, Lovely gates, the hinges help set them off, are they made locally?
Yes they are
Great video Andy. With the hard wax oil finish, do you expect the gates to keep their ‘raw’/golden oak colour (and if so, how often do you think you’ll need to re-apply) or will you let them weather over time to grey/silver?
I like the natural weathered look, so I won't re oil they will age well

At 5:43 what tooling are you using in the shaper fr cutting the shoulders? Thx
Whiteside cutter block , has flush fixing for tenon cutter
@@ManorWood Have you got a link please? Do you mean Whitehill?
Or a model number, to look it up. Thx
Beautiful. Minute 9.00: which glue did you use? Is it polyurethanic? And what finiture? Thanks
Cheers , it’s west systems resin
Nice! Where do you get those hinges for the gates??
What clamps do you use on the sliding table? Proper felder ones or aftermarket?
What is the round wooden 'tank' as seen in the background??
Plunge pool
You are from England?
Yep
What method did you use to fasten the braces? Thx
Resin and a pin in the top and bottom (very tight fit)
