Building a gate

Easy project.

The making of the video itself was what I was really interested in. You are so good at being totally honest about all the things that don’t go excatly right, which makes your videos so watchable.

I’d say it qualifies as a woodworking project. Your videos are always fun to watch. They always show what’s pertinent and interesting.

Nice gate. I wish I had seen this 20 years ago when I “built” a gate for my yard. Ah, well. Now, it’s time for the yard. I hear Yard Crashers might be in the NoCal area soon ;>).

looks like a woodworking project to me…

Nice fix. Nice gate. Nice video, as always.

Yep that’s wood and saws and screws and drills and adhesives. I think that would be a project.
Good stuff Steve, we like gates to.

I used an Adjust-A-Gate steel frame kit to build my gate. The kit worked, but the design came up a little short in my opinion.

If I was going to do it again, I would weld a steel gate frame from scratch, and then face it with cedar pickets.

Here is my blog article about the Adjust-A-Gate kit…

I think you should claberate (sp?) with Mystery Guitar Man and do a song with your Cahones~ about “Haters”~~~stop hating…about what your project is, what shoes you wear, the fact you let Safety Baby play with scissors ~~~~and everything else the haters hate on….
Let folks know that if they want a particular video, they are free to do one themselves!!!!

Fine Job Steve. Reminds of a woman we knew who called one day asking me to bring my saw over to cut some boards for her. When I got there, she asked me to cut the pile so she could build a gate to surprise her husband. No idea of what she wanted it to look like or how high, just cut them to make a gate ;-)

Nice job on the gate. I liked your solution for installing the new posts, that’s a new one to me. It sure beats cutting the concrete out or trying dig out the remnants of the old posts through the original hole.

Thanks for the tip!

Looks great Steve, made out of wood, I think it’s a woodworking project and I am sure it will help a lot people when they need to build a gate . I had a double wooden gate and using Thompson’s Water Seal really helped when it rained, keeps the gate from soaking up the rain and that keeps the gate from getting heaver with the water wieght.

Great video Steve, as for as it be a wood related project, I think it fits in LJ’s just perfect.

What SuperDav said….wood, screws, etc…looks like a woodworking project, sounds like a woodworking project, feels like a woodworking project, tastes like a woodworking project….glad I didn’t step in it….
