    Interesting idea. As for making mistakes, that is how we typically learn our best lessons. As for forgetting what you made the metal part for, been there and don't that too. Nice fab and finish... Thumbs Up!

    I love to watch you fabricate, Mitch. You are so talented! That new and improved gate makes your trailer the bomb! I like the idea of taping the furnace filter to the fan. Brilliant!! You made a mistake, so what, we all do it. But you came up with a plan and fixed it. That is what matters! Cheers!

    My shop is VERY similar to yours. Lathe, mill, TIG, MIG etc. After years of welding on the floor, then, on a self made welding table (4’ x ‘8 by 1/2 thick), I finally splurged & got a ‘real’ welding table. It’s from Langmuir and it’s modular. Wow! What a difference! Milled flat, precision holes for clamping. I should’ve done this sooner. Anyway, beats cleaning weld splatter off your table saw.
    Hope this helps and thanks from Tennessee.

    I'd reconsider the use of a lynch pin in the horizontal position to secure your gate. I speak from experience. Try a carabineer/spring snap hook as an alternative. Good work!
