Though not too fancy this was an important project in my development and experience with my tools. I am proud that I finished this from start to finish in one day as opposed to my other projects that I have started and piddled with leaving weeks in between. Also this was the most I had used my chop saw and got quite comfortable with it. The best part is at the end of the day—-the guys who helped me hang it—contractors building the neighbors new gate both said—”Hey—-this is excellent!” I had NO misscuts or extra wood…little victories for a NEW-bie…but they are mine.

I still need to go back in and put on latch that will work better with the metal pole on the right. I have a temporary one on now. But overall this is a hug improvement to the previous chain-link fence and gate we had before.

Learning…and 30 days until this history teacher is on SUMMER BREAK!

Nicely Done. I need to build a gate too. Good job bracing the back with the “z.”

Matt,

Nice addition to the manor.

Isn’t it great when you use a tool for an extended period of time and really get a feel for it?

Nice work, My favorite woodworking is building outdoor stuff for my yard. Sitting in a chair you’ve made, in a landscape you’ve created, watching the birds nest in houses you’ve built…..and so forth…speaking of which I need to post my arbor and gate…:)
