We have a gate on the side of my house that allows access to the backyard. While not a conspicuous gate, I wanted to replace it with something more interesting to look at. The opening for the gate just happens to be out of square, thanks to a rock-faced wall that leans in. In order to make the new gate look right, I’ll have to intentionally build a crooked gate. And if I do my job correctly, no one will ever know it isn’t square.
I’d like to thank my buddies Matt Cremona ( / mcremona ) and Andy Klein ( / anklein2 ) for helping me out with this project. Check out Matt’s stool build: • Making Sculpted Bar St...
Outdoor Finish
To finish the gate, I decided to use one of the most durable outdoor finishes regimens I know: CPES followed by Epifanes. I’m new to the Colorado climate so I’m anxious to see how this finish holds up.

Scribing to the irregularities of an old house is a required skill and standard building practice of home restorers worldwide. Lining the eye to the existing natural settling, weathering or aging of a structure, as long as it doesn't compromise the engineering requirements of loads and stresses for soundness, makes for beautiful historic restorations. Go with the flow. Lovely gate!

@jlathem56 6 лет назад

I like the fact that it isn't perfectly square. It adds more character. It shows it was custom built and not bought from a big box store.

@masterofnone 6 лет назад

Marc listening to you explain woodworking is just pleasure. Thanks for being a great teacher.

@woodwhisperer 6 лет назад

Thanks for supporting me!

@KnottenWood 6 лет назад

Great project! So good to see you building again! Good to see you and your little brother Matt doing some quality time bonding together.

@AndreaArzensek 6 лет назад

Where you could tell that it isn’t square is where the ship lapped panels join with rails. However!!! I would be blinded by this beautiful and hefty door so much I would ever think of it being out of square! Just wonderful craftsmanship. I adore this design and build. Congratulations!

@felixfromnebraska8648 6 лет назад

You never cease to amaze me Marc. What an outstanding build. I love the attention to detail on the gate, and you are correct that the curve and other angles hides the angle of the gate. Thanks for sharing the experience.

@jeremiah3543 6 лет назад

One of a kind gate for a one of a kind opening! Bravo

@MrToolmaker23 6 лет назад

Exceptional job. It's always nice to see how little problems around the house can be solved with a little thought and planning. A beautiful gate which will last a life time.

@BruceAUlrich 6 лет назад

Brilliant idea with the curved top and angled panels to hid how the gate was out of square! Really enjoyed the video, Marc, and the other creators working with you.

@willworkfortools1484 6 лет назад

Great miter saw trick for finding and sneaking up on a unique angle.

@SuperTannoy 4 года назад

Catching up on some of your videos Marc, great stuff, I remember a piece of advice I was given by a clerk of works on my first site as a supervisor, He said "If it looks right, it is right, even if it's wrong, If it looks wrong even though it's right, check it because someone else will" That proved true on many occasions, Take care keep safe.

@Patricksworkshop 6 лет назад

OUTSTANDING BUILD !!!! That white oak gate looks phenomenal !!! I really enjoyed the process of the build and seeing the finish applied , the steps you took sure made that white oak come alive with a pop of color . great work as always Marc. hey Matt

@markantinore6418 6 лет назад

I’ve been searching for months for a gate idea I like. I am planning an enclosure for my garbage tote. I love this idea and can adapt it to make two fixed panels and a gate! Your gate is beautiful and you guys worked out a great solution for a tricky situation..

@thomasarussellsr 6 лет назад

That gate is absolutely beautiful. The inspiration of the out-of-square gateway served up an incredible looking piece of art. Kind looks like it has some oriental feel to it. I so need to make my dad a new gate for his patio now, thanks.

@chrisbuggie747 6 лет назад

looks great

@MarkK01 6 лет назад

Wow is all I can say. The gate looks awesome. Great build.

@scottydonttttttttttt 6 лет назад

I recently built an indoor arched mortise and tenon gate for my dogs, and used the same method that you did with the filler strips along the middle rail. Those angled pickets at the top of your gate was a smart way to fool the eye!

@bobbyblizzard8488 6 лет назад

Awesome project and great finishing technique

@motzemog 6 лет назад

That outdoor CPES/Epifanes combo is superb. Makes me want to go refinish all my outdoor projects now. (kind of)

@justneel 6 лет назад

I really like seeing you make projects for around the house. Furniture is great, but I feel like there are so many videos of that already. Seeing how you overcome some of the challenges (like out of square) when building in the house was great.

Always a pleasure to watch you work man! Turned out great! Also, it so nice to see your kids make an appearance in your videos. I incorporate mine into my vids as well and it’s nice to see you, as a pioneer in this online woodworking content business, incorporate your kids as well! This was a fantastic display of “work with what ya got” nice work Marc! Chris,

@haroldrull4943 4 года назад

Installed my gate on top of an existing steel gate, heavy for the hinges but I also stick a roller on the bottom corner to support the weight. It swings smooth without a drag.

@craigmonteforte1478 4 года назад

nice work on the gate between the decorative features and the stone work nobody will notice the way you had to make that work especially when you pan back a bit you get to see some of the stone on the far away back wall that completely takes your eyes off of that besides the majority of people dont know what plumb and level look like

@lauraferriss1600 3 года назад

@hurcule911 6 лет назад

Oh and thanks for the finishing tips, never heard of the one epoxy product.

@jasonmccoy258 6 лет назад

I suggest putting some kind of bumper on the stone wall where the gate will hit when it swings open. That thing looks to nice to bang up against the stone on a windy day or when the kids push a little to hard to when they walk through it.

@wjrunzi 6 лет назад

Beautiful gate, I enjoy all of your videos. You're a man of many talents, you do this great woodworking and yet fine time to play left field for the Milwaukee Brewers.

@carolewarner101 2 года назад

Frankly, I LOVE the angle. Everyone has square gates. BORING! I think the taper adds a beautiful whimsy to the gate. It's lovely!

@steveberg8688 6 лет назад

Beautiful build and end result. I have made gates with redwood because it is so easy to work but they all end up warping - this oak won’t do that and should look great for a very long time.

@woodwhisperer 6 лет назад

Thanks Thom. We had a lot of fun!

@Thom4123 6 лет назад

The Wood Whisperer No you guys having fun that can't be you and Matt don't get along LMAO ( podcast reference). You guys are huge inspiration and Shannon too. And appreciate all the help and information.

@ronh9384 6 лет назад

Excellent build on both projects. Great solutions to problems, etc..., liked the color! Just an FYI.... I was looking at some European hinge and door framing hangers that were quite interesting and would have worked good for some of the segments with the gate. Another excellent video from you both! Nice job!

@paulrusnak8081 6 лет назад

I love this gate. I have a pair of gates that need replacing and something like this might work really well. I want to bring up something in regards to thinning the Epifanes spar varnish. Last year I made two outdoor chairs from mahogany. On one chair I did exactly what you did and used mineral spirits to thin the first coat and then applied three coats unthinned. On the next chair, I forgot that I had thinned the first coat and applied three unthinned coats. A year later, the thinned chair had massive finish failure and the unthinned chair is fine. I called them and they require their proprietary thinner. I think their thinner is naphta, but I got their thinner when I refinished the problem chair. I hope you have better luck.

@woodwhisperer 6 лет назад

I have always thinned with mineral spirits and haven't had any issues. I am suspicious of proprietary solvents considering they are generally just more expensive versions of what we can buy at home depot. Grant it, naptha is a more pure thinner than mineral spirits, I haven't seen any personal evidence that using mineral spirits is detrimental to the condition of the finish. At least not yet. :)

Hey Marc , the gate is awesome, white oak, beautiful. Something I noticed at around 03:49 was the picture frame on the bench in the background. That is one beautiful frame. Great job!

@suburbanhobbyist2752 6 лет назад

Great build Marc! It's funny, I'm a child of the late 70s/80's and back then it seemed like the ONLY wood being used for furniture/finishes was Oak. It was everywhere and usually stained in the strangest ways. Because of that I can't stand Oak. But, this gate looks awesome man. I think I'm finally coming around to it again.

@woodwhisperer 6 лет назад

I feel the same way about oak thanks to the wood paneling in the NJ home I grew up in. ugh.... My tolerance for white oak is a little higher than red oak, though I'm still not a huge fan.

@isamhadad5759 6 лет назад

@Wordsnwood 6 лет назад

Yeah, put that Matt guy to work! Nice design, Marc and Andy! That is one beefy gate. Don't pinch your fingers!

@beniciolucasgimenez9758 6 лет назад

Que bueno sería que subtitularas en español, asi todos podríamos disfrutar más tus videos!

@MRrwmac 6 лет назад

That is one STONG and beautiful gate that would keep an elephant in. I must admit the “Matt Mix” finish was an excellent way to go and I’m sure you will use it when you rebuild the side supports. I hope you revisit this after a year of Denver weather to see how the drain holes and angled bevels worked out?! However, I do like the Stool Matt made better! (I met him so I have to say that - haha).

@nealbecker6075 6 лет назад

Great looking gate Marc! Even if you had Matt and Andy helping you.

@64puma64 6 лет назад

After reading Bob Flexner and doing some experiments myself, I’m perpetually skeptical about any finish that “penetrates” the wood. But I am intrigued by CPS. Would be interesting to finish a board, then cut it in two to examine the cross section and see just how much penetration occurs. In the end, adhesion, resistance to u.v., flexibility, and various other properties may be more important. Great job on the gate and, as always, the videos!

@woodwhisperer 6 лет назад

I don't think any finish penetrates very deep, on a scale that we can typically measure. But it stands to reason that the thinner the material, the deeper it might penetrate. And whatever you use in those first thin coats can lay the foundation for what happens in the subsequent coats. So the whole point of CPES is to act as a glue between the wood fibers and the topcoat. Without the CPES, you're looking at the finish itself binding to the fibers. Now i can't say for sure the CPES method is better, but if you believe the manufacturer's story it should make a difference. Of course time will tell. :)

@JaredCzaia 5 лет назад

This turned out beautiful! Would have been cool to see what scribing a plumb latch board to the wall would have looked like. I imagine it would have made it very obvious that the wall is out of plumb but I'm a sucker for scribing to stone.

@ukhottubs 6 лет назад

Amazing, you should drop a mike and walk off stage at the end of that. Such an amazing project. I wish I had your patience? I wish I understood finishing a lot better as well .really great gate. I keep meaning to sign up to the guild!

@davefoc 3 года назад

Nice video and nice design. I've watched a lot of wood working type videos. This is one of the few times times I watched one with the idea that I might make the thing. I don't know whether to feel discouraged or not. I have a contractor type table saw, compound miter saw,, a router and other common wood working tools. I've done quite a bit of wood working but very little furniture level precision woodworking. So not sure I have the skills and the tools to make a gate like this. I was surprised at the weight. I think I could deal with that though. ETA: I liked how he used the slot cutter bit to make the groove in the curved stile. I hadn't figured out how to do that.
