Stuart, Your approach is first class, what a great channel! I really believe you are trailblazing with the quality of your videos (it's more like a mini tv programme). Precise, concise, systematic, informative and always upbeat and entertaining, thanks for your excellent work! We all note your extensive use of the multi-purpose pump clamps, they're great assistants, and they never take a tea break, couldn't live without them! lol

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

Wow, thanks! Very kind words - much appreciated!

@Lord-Panda2112 3 года назад

He’s not wrong! I love the intro scene, when the brush head falls off!! Hah, you have a good media eye (or whatever the term is). Love it.

@karma3101 2 года назад

100% agree

@thisall4real Год назад

Now i notice several gates in my neighbourhood all crossed braced wrong Mines will be correct thought 🤣

@gergemall 10 месяцев назад

I could not agree more. Excellent. Thank you.

@gabriellafletcher4969 Год назад

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

@sajulldin5147 3 года назад

Cross bracing explanation was perfect, never thought it like that before...

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

Glad it helped

@nicowilson 3 года назад

Agreed. Superb explanation.

@davidfelton134 3 года назад

Yes I agree completely. Stuarts model of the bracing principle was the best explanation I have ever seen. Its something I always used to struggle with (ie which way they should go). Its amazing how often you see gates and doors fitted the wrong way round - quite often in TV and film sets lol.

Did you screw the cross braces at all?

@freedomofabird 17 дней назад

Brilliant explanation about cross bracing!! I now have some superb knowledge to make my gate. Thank you!

@philreilly6959 5 дней назад

Thanks for a great video. I like your no nonsense approach. I need a new garden gate and now I know just how to do it!! Thanks again.

@chana100red Год назад

Your advice and tips and technique allowed me to confidentially build a new garden gate without any issues. Thanks to you and your time.

@thorlo1278 3 года назад

No one else does it as good as you do. You explain what needs to be done and then explain why. With your expertise as a retired engineer, you make a great teacher give the necessary information for your videos. No wonder you named it "Proper DIY" since everything is done in the Proper manner! Two Thumbs Up!! Great video.

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

Well thank you very much for your comments - I try

@davidlyon7069 10 месяцев назад

Just wanted to say thanks again for your brilliant video. I watched the video a couple of times and with no real carpentry skills or experience, I built my parents a new gate over the weekend. A great sense of achievement.

@isthisthat 3 года назад

This is quickly becoming one of my favourite DIY channels. Well edited, well shot, well explained, no unnecessary chatter. Short, sweet, to the point, with a bit of a laugh. Keep it up!

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

Thank you very much!

@gmac8345 Год назад

So after much research I watched this video. Absolutely spot on and I followed your video to the letter. It saved me £100s buy making my own instead of buying. So much satisfaction every time I look at it. Thank you. 👍

@johnshortland4446 Год назад

Ive now made one of these for each side of my house. Feel quite proud as im new to diy, every job builds confidence. Really appreciate the quality of the video, definitely the best ive managed to find.

@peterguildford2133 Год назад

Your advice was spot on, thank you so much. I had a large gate to make (1.6m wide), and had never done one before (not even a small one). I followed your instructions and to my amazement (I'm not the best at DIY) it came out dead right and looks fantastic. 😊

@nzu3717 3 года назад

Just finished ours and wish we had your guide. Keep up the videos I’m hooked. If you run out of ideas you’d be surprised how much your audience would love “back to basics” guides about the basics of woodwork, diy and electrics.

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

Thank you. I'm sure I'll be covering lots of 'back to basics' - especially when the summer is over and the weather forces me inside!

@bramwell184 3 года назад

From a mid 20s first time home owner, your videos have been absolutely fantastic! No end of help, thanks for your time, knowledge and for creating them. Jake

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

No problem. Nice to pass things on

@ACherimoya Год назад

Love the method of shimming the frame and clamping it to the post.

@robcarroll6105 3 года назад

I’m average to useless at DIY but enjoy watching how effortless you make it seem. Channels like yours can be a saviour to us wannabes

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

It's just education (from RU-vid) and practice so start slowly on easy stuff and before you know it you'll be tackling everything!

@freeglide24 13 дней назад

Love this video. Super clear and really well explained. Now off to build my gate.

@EM-fh2tx Год назад

I made my new garden gate using this video; first 'big' wood project! Thank you

@prepped8551 9 месяцев назад

Best explanation of diagonal bracing on the internet.

@rattusmortus1845 2 года назад

Thank you!. I found your channel by accident and subbed after 30 seconds. Your clarity and presentation is first class and thank you thank you thank you for not doing the "just take your timber to your £5000 table saw then run it through your £1250 rebate machine and finish off with the £3000 auto finisher and there you are a homebuilt gate simply made". Most people will eventually end up with the tools you use but most importantly you show HOW things are done clearly and you approach things in a thoughtful way. I've never seen anyone explain cross bracing so clearly.

@ProperDIY 2 года назад

Well thank you very much for your comments - very kind. However much I would like to have every expensive power tool made, I don't and neither do average DIY'ers. So I think it's important to show that things can me made with the chisel from Wilco or the screwdriver from the market as that's what I have and I don't think I alone.

@daibhiseaghdha153 2 года назад

wondunderful, a very practical, and experience person, guiding us, which is what we need, as nobody knows every thing, I would have measure diagonally across the whole frame for squareness, as I am unable to get dead straight wood, a lot of it is like a banana nowadays

@julielong1150 Год назад

Hi! I want to say thank you for making this tutorial. We recently built a large raised garden bed and used your video as our inspiration to build the door - it was our first ever door build and your instructions are incredibly easy to follow. Thank you again!

@PanPuchacki 2 года назад

Just thinking of doing it myself as I love wood working. I got to say, this garden door, maybe is simple but outstanding quality and finish.

@drewheffero9672 11 месяцев назад

Pleasure to watch a craftsman at work.. clean precise and easy to understand.

@Rowee7 2 года назад

After 20 years in the roofing trade, I was surprised how many tips I picked up from this video!! I only came here to check the direction of the cross bracing. Such straight forward, no bullshit information is hard to find and as others have said, your explanation of the bracing direction was spot on and it's so clear in my mind now. It's worrying that I occasionally hear chippies arguing about this when your explanation makes it so obvious. Great work

@ProperDIY 2 года назад

Well thank you very much - much appreciated.

@MattJ2906 3 года назад

Really efficient way of getting the hinges fitted in the correct place without wrestling a gate at the same time! I work as a mechanical engineer and it was a very nice demo on the bracing, the best visual explanation you could do. 👍🏻

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

Well thank you very much!

@alancraigie7951 2 года назад

Great video, I'm working through multiple jobs on a home we bought 5 years ago. Your videos are exceptionally good. A big thank you. 👍

@fishingotheradventuresonke7996 Год назад

Just brilliant, thank you Stuart for taking the time to make these clear, concise and very professional TV standard videos, it really is appreciated by this DIYer 😊👍

@ImpieYay 3 года назад

It must be said that your production quality is on point: one wouldn't be able to tell you've only 'just' started the channel. So far I have really enjoyed your more engineering-based approach compared to other DIY RU-vidrs; it's just something I identify with more than the "let's slap it together and see if it works" mentality. Thank you for the effort you clearly put in; I hope you'll see the channel growth you deserve.

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

Thank you so much. I try to make things clear and naturally come at things from an engineering angle just because I do. I'm glad you think I am different to the others.

@2Peachcobler 3 года назад

Just came across your videos and I really like them. You explain things in such an easy manner, and explain in detail so that a lay person can understand. You are a grate teacher. My Grandfather was a master carpenter. You remind me of my father he also spoke in a easy manner and could explain things so easily. Even though he was not a carpenter by trade he custom made all my kitchen cabinets for my house (I had purchased a fixer upper that had had a fire and the kitchen was completely gutted). That was 30 years ago. I have his tools and a small shed.

@crapbot 3 года назад

As everyone says, your model is great. I know that I’ll have that image in my mind anytime I try to think of the right way to do it. Also, given that it must have taken you a while to make the model, I appreciate even more that you stuck to the point when using it, with no waffle. Great videos !

This worked a treat. I followed the instructions and ended up with a strong professional looking gate. The gate width was 805mm which I couldn't find anywhere. Many thanks.

@jamesmesney9457 Год назад

Excellent job thank you Stuart. I was able to create my overlap-joined gate, clad with framed spruce T&G panelling, with (correct) cross braces. One gazillion brownie points from the Mrs.
