“The only thing you can really guarantee... is that someone is going to tell you that you’ve done it wrong.” 🤣😂🤣😂

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

I’m impressed they managed to get that gatepost back in the same spot! Nice job Keith! 👍👍

@rivergate 3 года назад

Yep, that was my thought too.

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Actually, funny you mention that, i don't think it was in exactly the same spot! But it was close. It was a bit lower in the ground as we needed to shim the hinges a bit to lift it up, but it didn't really make sense to show it in the video as it was such a specific case! We found some old skateboard bearings and took them apart and they just so happened to fit around the hinge hooks and lift the gate back up to the right height 🤣👍bit of a bodge, but worked a treat

@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn 3 года назад

We are all impressed by you Peter!

As it goes on the internet, you simply cannot win lol. Hope to see Gid back posting new videos soon, one of my favourite channels. A scribing ninja.

Keith, whether if you use two nails or one nail or glue vs no glue, you will never please everyone!! There is nothing wrong with the job, you've done it very well!! Take care mate. 🙂

@garethheathcote4988 3 года назад

RU-vid carpenters will always comment to say how something has been done wrong but the way you fitted the cladding on thought shed is absolutely the correct way to nail it. The way you nail the gate is personal preference, it's funny how these experts are quick to comment and "share," their knowledge in the comments section yet they won't make videos of their own to share it I wonder why that is. You do good work Keith mate take no notice of them. 👍🙂

@AndreaArzensek 3 года назад

Troll will be trolls, I closed my gates on them long time ago. Great work Keith!

@mandyleeson1 3 года назад

Mammoth project, Keith, well done. I'd love to see the gates when they're stained/painted too, and how the wood responds as it dries out. Van conversion sounds exciting!

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Cheers Mandy, I'll definitely post some pics of it painted at some point in future probably on Instagram or something if you're on there?

@karlpopewoodcraft 3 года назад

I thought the gates looked great fully installed. Love the feedback at the end with the comments great way to answer the most relevant questions and comments. Well I'm in need of a new gate lol I've been meaning to make one in my corridor of death ☠️😁

Ps if you know you know ☠️🤣😂

@devonfarmerkevvo 3 года назад

A good way of getting a post gate post in really firm in a hole is to use semi dry concrete mix and tamping it in with the pointed end of an iron bar - a long process but you end up getting much more material in and around the post , you can hang the gate straightaway, and the moisture in the ground will help set the concrete . If you just dig a hole, drop a post in and fill with a wet mix it won’t be as tight and you have to wait till it’s set before hanging 😭. Postcrete is good for pinning things in place but not as strong as concrete.really Enjoyed both vids and big up gid joiner, that man is an amazing craftsman 👍👍

@Samwise457 3 года назад

I defiantly agree with GID knows best, everyone has a different way of doing things i guess you end up doing what you think is right at the time.

@kills99ofbacteria50 3 года назад

Great to see you promoting other hard working youtubers. Gids a fantastic joiner, with an almost bottomless wealth of experience. His videos have really helped me out around the house and garden, over the years. Highly recommend subbing his channel.

@angelaramseyrobinson4407 3 года назад

They look beautiful. About 17 years ago I hired someone to make a very large gate and the only solution they had was to attach a wooden front onto a large metal frame. It worked but it’s time to repair or redo it again now and this gives me a sense of what’s possible.

@philipwilkins3812 2 года назад

No matter which way you go you are assured to have people that disagree with something. Your gates look nice and I’m sure the clients love it too. You do nice work sir and it’s a great video!

@donjohnson24 3 года назад

I don't think any of the other woodworking channels I watch have anywhere near as detailed follow-up responses to comments as yours, Keith. You must certainly make people feel that their contributions are worthwhile when they are given such considered and detailed replies.

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Thank you Don

@tomludlam4349 3 года назад

Looking forward to the camper van build. Did one myself years ago but I’m excited to see what someone of your skill level will do. Thank you for the great content.

@alasdairmackenzie515 3 года назад

Also, I took a punt on Sikkens last year... Some dark blue on untreated shiplap boards. They've come through a west coast Winter - in a very exposed position - with flying colours.

@cobberpete1 3 года назад

Absolutely Gid knows best. Haven't seen any videos lately. I hope he is still in business. Great job. the wheels should keep the gates in order

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Thanks Peter. I've been in touch with Gid a lot lately, he's doing ok, think he is just taking a break due to some van issues, a family bereavement, and a bit of winter hibernation! He's got a lot of work lined up apparently so I'm looking forward to new videos too

@MS-watch-YT 3 года назад

Your videos are great, these have been no exception. Keep them coming! For what it’s worth I’ve not used Sikkens but used the sandolin paint a couple of times. Most recently on trim on our porch roof. The grain pattern shows through the black nicely and it looks as good now as when I painted it about a year ago!

@neilf4128 3 года назад

I dont know if it's all in the editing, but I am really impressed with how you tackle such big and odd jobs like the shed, the gate, the livingroom remodel. And still manage to make furniture. I can't wait to see what's next... A boat build? Lol. Its possible.

@phillipgavin2155 3 года назад

Great project Keith. Thanks for sharing your problem also and the solution. Think black stain will be nice too. Can’t wait on the clients progress with this.

@samdub 3 года назад

@ianvicedomini2648 3 года назад

The gates look super and full of strength Keith and once they're painted, it'll preserve them a lot more too. Great video mate 👍🏻

@nathalie5064 3 года назад

Just wanted to say that I really like your channel ! This project was a big one (I think) and it ended up really well. Hope the client was happy about it ^^ All the projects you tackle and the explanations of any complications, cost and so on, are really nice to watch and learn from. Thanks for sharing.

@veronica5896 3 года назад

Great build and great video! Also nice to see somone taking constructive critisism as its meant - constructive! But also trusting themself enough to do what they find to be the best way - and thanks for taking the time to explain your thought process.

@dannybaker2763 2 года назад

What I really like about your videos is your honesty. When you don't know, you don't know. Fair play to you for being honest enough to admit it and to engage i the conversation about it. Brilliant job as ever. Keep it up, mate.

@tippo5341 3 года назад

Great job Keith, the gates certainly made a beautiful difference to the entry of the property, huge thumbs up mate!!!! And to the knockers of amount of fixings etc etc....to each their own, the combination of adhesive and fixings is always the best method, and for how many fixings...well one or two, no real difference...timbr may cup, will give it more a natural look, timber is a natural product...but no matter what, great looking project...I'd be happy with the end result. Cheers from Aus!!!!!

Well Done Lad! The gate looks great, and as with all things time will tell. The only thing you can manage is the effort to do as good a job as your client can pay for.

@offcuts4146 3 года назад

Ive made large gates myself and it is awkward to level them. Little tip is you use a car jack it works well to level them rather than using timbers and you can micro adjust the height

@macducati2304 3 года назад

I used the same method as I was stuck trying to fit some heavy shed doors. I had a brainwave and got the car jack out and it worked a treat. As you say you can get the adjustment spot on. Obviously you need the clearance to get a jack underneath.

@nitroneal4998 3 года назад

If there isn’t a big enough gap, could you use air wedge?

@mymemeplex 3 года назад

@@macducati2304 you could use a board and put the jack under one end and the door under the other.

@Thesidingsworkshop 3 года назад

Great job Keith some good Engineering solutions for moving around the house mate 👍 nice build on the gate., steel bars fanning out from the foundation for the posts before pouring the concrete would sort that issue out for future once its dried the knocked in steel bars (protected for rust) fanning out into the surrounding ground acts like a anchor. Anyway great job Keith.. there's always someone who'll do it a different way with the gate build .... those gates will last years mate 👌👍

@ussweeneyd 3 года назад

Great work and video. My first attempt was with cedar for the gates and treated 8” posts. I have found that rounding the post at the point of the reinforced concrete helps prevent cracking due to sharp edges. Also I beveled the concrete to prevent water seeping down inside the concrete. Two years on I’m still having to adjust both gates as they continue to sag inwards. Obviously my concrete foundation is insufficient. 😂

Hi Keith, great timing I'm getting wood delivered tomorrow to make my daughters gates but only 1500x900 each gate and on 150mm posts so should be ok.

@martyjosephson4937 3 года назад

I have found that if you use concrete on the post's I do leave the bottom of the concrete open as to drain and not puddle up to rot the post from the bottom up. I do put gravel in the bottom of the hole to help with the drainage. Nice Video.

@danielpreilly77 3 года назад

this was a great demo Keith, i like the design quite a bit kind of an arts and crafts vibe. I think you should do a revisit when they stain it. Keep up the great work

@BWreSlippySlope 3 года назад

Wheels were a nice add and would be needed regardless of the size of the post unless you use metal. That wide gate will curve the post eventually anyway. That is a lot of weight regardless. It May take years but with that throw and constant stress, the beam will warp. Love the touches you added. Bevels for rain drip nice. I add bevels to the top of concrete for posts so water drips away. Much better ways than concrete now. Really old-school still the best. Love the foam polyurethane that expands also.

@NomenNescio99 3 года назад

I look forward to see them painted!

@grant3226 3 года назад

Those turned out great Keith, as a tradesman of 30 years you'll always get difference of opinions of how to o something. As you said just go with your own experience and those with vastly more than yours. On the wood movement thing, Ive found its highly dependent on the place you live, here in the lower north island of New Zealand we don't have to worry about humidity as much as I did when I was a joiner in bottom of the south island,.

@monk1100 Год назад

Hi I really enjoyed watching this, your explanation is solid. But everyone has a different view to how it should or not be done. I am self teaching myself in carpentry and I have made some great work pieces which I am proud off. One is a stable door made the frame with pine which costs so much now, and off poor quality never straight, bananard twists that make difficulties in construction. Then lined the face with white oak it looks wonderful on my own built octagon gazebo. So your honesty and explanation and showings of your build was to me education. Thanks Oh by the way this is my next project to build myself my own driveway gates.

@bluecurlygirl 2 года назад

Great job. Loved the build and install. Beautiful gates. No matter what you do or how you do it there'll always be someone to tell you that you did it wrong (even if you did it right). Opinions - everyone is entitled to one but thankfully we don't have to listen to or heed them all.

Hey dude. I was one of the moisture problem when painting guys. Sikkens seems like a great idea. I used it on some oak garage doors i made and it took really well and has lasted 4 years so far without any issues. Also the stuff with glueing the boards is interesting and I'll have to look into it more myself. I'm very inexperienced with external woodwork so the more info the better. Rad vids 🤘🤘🤘

@paulwestlake4278 3 года назад

Years ago, I bought gates from a local company, they were sodden when they arrived, and moved every other week, until they dried. They never moved again. Been there 18 years now. I think you did a great job under less than ideal conditions here, they will look good for years to come. Pressure treated wood takes a long time to dry to a stable condition, don't sweat the stuff you cant contro;.

@paulwestlake4278 3 года назад
