Fence and Gate Update at ~14 Months

I've been asked a few times for an update video on the fence and gate and what I might do differently in retrospect. I didn't narrate this video, but I have included my thoughts below. 1. The gaps between the pickets are now slightly wider than when first built due to drying, which I expected. I used screws to secure the pickets to the rails to allow for future adjustment. The gaps don't yet bo...

    very cool thank you. another good solo safety protocol might be to try and avoid walking under the beam when it's just suspended up in the air. annoying to walk a few extra steps to the side and around, but that one time a pin fails at the wrong time the annoyance would be worth it

    • @LouisStorms
      @LouisStorms 5 месяцев назад

      @johnmcnamee2368. It’s called a chain mortiser. They are expensive. Check out my drill guide jig video. If a chain mortiser is out of your price range, consider using that jig for your mortises. Still lots of chisel work to clean up, but nowhere near what would be required without the auger clearing out 95% of the mortise.

    In sketchup how did you get the mortise and tenon feature? Is that plugin or something?

    • @LouisStorms
      @LouisStorms 8 месяцев назад

      Created all from scratch. So like created rectangle, then push / pull tool to create the timber. For mortise, draw mortised sized rectangle on surface of timber, push / pull tool to pull down that rectangle 4.5” down or however deep mortise needs to be. Similar exercise for tenon, except you create two “mortises” on either side of the tenon to expose the tenon.

    So since you had to keep the over all fence 8ft tall with the trim and cap did you just get 8ft pickets and cut all of them down to the size needed? I am looking at doing the same size fence and not happy if that is what I have to do vs just using the full 8ft pickets and letting the fence go over 8ft by about 4-5 inches with the kicker board and top cap trim.

    • @LouisStorms

    • @LouisStorms
      @LouisStorms Год назад

      Thank you. I had the cedar for the gate frame lying around for years before I built the gate, so it was very dry. Haven't noticed it expanding or contracting at all. The pickets were all bought from HD and were wet. Used screws instead of nails in case I'd have to close the gaps later. It's been four years, and the gaps haven't become wide enough to compel me to do anything about it. Posts were also wet initially. If they have expanded or contracted, there's not been any noticeable expression.

    • @LouisStorms

      I didn’t leave any gap between pickets because expected them to shrink over time as they dried out. Galvanized steel posts are going to be awesome. Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your fence!

    My concern every time i see people sealing posts like that is: wouldn’t moisture get in the wood from above the sealed part and wick down to the dry sealed part and not have an easy way out and actually rot sooner? Because of moisture being held in? I could be wrong but seems logical.

    • @LouisStorms
      @LouisStorms Год назад

      I left the bottom of the posts unsealed. Posts sit atop a bed of gravel. But, to your point, it’s certainly possible that sealing the posts, even on just the sides, accelerates rot. But based on where my old posts rotted without sealing, right where they met the ground, I’m betting sealing the way I did makes the new posts last longer.
