DIY Double Gate Part 2 / The Carpenter's Daughter

- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Hi all,
We've finally installed the double gates I made 3 weeks ago down my Dad's woodyard. We fixed them between a concrete post and brick wall of our house.
Here's how I made it them if you missed it:: • DIY Double Gate at Dad...
I was particularly nervous about fixing it to a concrete post due to the metal inside.
I found absolutely no RUclips video on how to do it or web page. So after asking my Dad if it were possible, I followed his instructions counties apart and thought I'd share to help others.
Please note I am not an expert and my Dad did not supervise, so there may very well be something he would do differently. I'm just a girl giving things a go to learn and save money.
Here's what I used.

Work is getting really good. Very good, and the dance was great.
Thank you so much 😀
The work with the gate already deserved a like, with the dance deserves a like and a sharing. Show! :)
Aww, thanks :)
Great project and expertly done , you have a natural talent. It's all about having the courage to take something on, risking that it might go horribly wrong, which it does sometimes of course, but the confidence gained and satisfaction gives a nice buzz. Yes, get an impact driver...
Thanks +Chris Laudan. I agree, each job I try has given me more confidence to give something else a go. And if I'm not happy with something, I just try again :) Will definitely consider a impact driver 😉
very nice work and useful info .....thanks so
Nice, nice,& nice. You have done a splendid job.
+Neal Schwabauer thank you so much :)
well done. You just hit the nail on the head as I was worried of drilling thru the concrete because of the iron rod inside. I shall try my luck tomorrow. Many thanks indeed. You have good common sense.
Thanks! I didn't even know it was possible and hadn't seen it in a google search either. Good luck! :)
Great work. A handy tip is to set the centre of the gates slightly high to allow the gates to settle as they inevitably will. Adjustable band and gudgeon hinges would also allow for easy adjustment in years to come. Love the video though
You get a 👍 for the dance lol, nice job on the gates.
haha, thanks very much for your kindness! Looking back I look silly, but it was fun :D :D :D
We'll done young lady.
Re: Thickness = diameter. for any screw, pipe or drill bits.
Spade bits or frostner bits for large holes in timber.
Have a look on eBay for used quality joiners tools, such as wood brace type drill and also the wood augers to suit, I've bought quite a few and done them up by sanding the handles back to bare wood, to then varnish with matt type water based stuff, stainless pan succourers work well for cleaning the metal parts, even when some of the chrome has worn off, light oil then they're good to go.
Used wood augers soon clean up, quick light sharpen and a new tool roll to keep them in.
No battery's needed and 9 times out of 10 they make holes quicker than battery drills.
Used chisels are cheap on eBay as well, and sharpen up after a regrind, all of which you can learn how to do on here.
Hope this helps and well done for having a go, ps. Get a good work jacket and or joiners apron to keep clean and have pockets to place tools and pencils in.
Really nice to see young women having a go at hand trades & as a man I really want to see balanced work forces now, as good equipment means women can do exactly the same as guys.
Ps: I'm a retired / out of work heavy plant fitter.
Thanks for the tips +Lynden Croker! I really do need to build my tool collection and hopefully can turn my garage in to a workshop at some point next year! :)
Little "trick" when it comes to using a drill to screw in a screw.
Set it to speed 1 on the top instead of speed 2. that way it uses the torc from the machine to "slowly" screw it in. This way you wont break the screw nor ruin the head of it.
Speed 1 is ment for screwing while speed 2 is mainly ment for drilling.
+sahanii thanks for the tip!
sahanii meant not ment.
You put the dance in! :)
Great job!
Thanks :) Yes, it seemed to get too many laughs from my family for me not to :)
So good to see you looking upto your dads advise and expertise. I hope one of my daughter's following in my hands on way like you have with your father :)
Great job, very aesthetically appealing when you can’t see the hinges at the front.
Thanks :)
Another great video again Vikkie, and loving the moves at the end.... they're always a must after tricky jobs haha.
Thanks :D :D
Nice job Vikkie, pleased you got it done before the weather turns worse. Lol dedication, even working in the dark.... proud of you lass :).
Yes, I was desperate for the security :D We'd been leaning the old gates up and they weren't safe. Thankfully I just managed to top up the stain on the new bits a day before all the snow came :)
So the gate dance ended up on the video anyway. Good job Vikki.
Thanks +Dave Williams! Yes, a couple of people said I should definitely feature it so kept it in lol
Nice clean job!!
Thanks :)
Looks very nice. I would definitely add the second drop-bolt. Maybe a 4x4 across the top instead of a 2x4. I live in a very windy area and know it would be needed. Good Job(again)!
Thanks Joe :) Definitely going to add it to the bottom as well now once our snow has cleared :)
I like the gates very much! Nice job.
Thank you Al :)
Hi I've found you channel about a week ago. Subscribed after the first one I watched. Love the way you put your videos together. Really useful tips and ideas. But so far your dancing at the end of this video was something else 😂👍. Have a great day keep building 💪❤
lovely job. your master of all trades. fair play too you.
Thank you +Hughie Neary :) I like to try at least 😁
no problem too you you can put your hand to any thing it come out fabs. :)
Nice trick using the tennis ball to hold the post @1:20. a technique I've not seen before ; )
+C0zyDunt haha, you should try it, it works a charm 😄😉
Your videos are brilliant, thanks
A great end result! The only improvement I can see is to turn the top hinges upside down so the gates can't be lifted up off the hinges. Not so important, just a positive observation. Well done 😀
Thanks so much, I love that tip!! I'll take a look at that!
Yeah, I hadn't spotted this myself, but have to agree wholeheartedly with Geoffrey Smith on this one. It's just too easy for a ne'er-do-well to lift it all off, thus negating all your hard work and planning. Also concur with the other commenter about the second bracket on the top drop bolt.
Yes great job again AAA****
Vicky Mr Geoffrey Smith beat me to that tip of turning top hinges upside down for extra security
best wishes Mike
You could also just add a hinge to the middle to save you taking the gates off to turn the other hinge around, this way way it saves the bottom hinge from taking all the weight of the gate and also can be done in situ.
Yeah, I saw that too and my initial reaction was the same, but I doubt it would be a problem. If someone wanted in, it would be easier and faster to just break the lock. My grandpa always said that a lock is only there to keep an honest man honest.
Besides, there may be some situation in the future that she needs to temporarily remove the gate and those hinges makes that easy. Plus, as Captainkidd2006 said, it spreads the downward load force over the bearing surface of two hinge pins instead of the whole weight of the gate on just one.
Great job on Hanging those gates Vicky
Only thing I would have done is to turn top hinges upside down so A no one can steal them and B a bit more secure to stop them being lifted so someone can get in down your drive!!!!
all the best Mike
Thank you Mike :) I'll look in to that as I think that's a great idea!
Great job yet again...
Cheers! :D
Very interesting video
I love your Work, I love this video, you are amazing. Greetings from México city
Thanks very much :)
Like the way you left the price tag on the head torch.
It is a nice extra project and with some anti rattling benefits to make a stout wooden draw bolt rather than the conventional metal ones. You also get to imaging you are securing some medieval town gate each evening....... or that might be just me watching too much Robin of Sherwood.
Well spotted lol... It arrived that day as was sick of these early nights and didn't notice the tag until later 😂
lol bbet you got the best fence and gate in the street and well please that you built it,up the ladder in the dark must of been keen,well dun gal very good 11/10
lol, I'm very pleased we have privacy now and think it looks quite dapper 😀
That looks so good!
Thanks again +Make It Soph 😊😘
Great videos, Iam in the trade and I can say you would put a lot of tradesman to shame with you skill and determination. One thing I would recommend is an impact driver, you will never look at your drill the same way again for putting in screws and would have been great for those fixings you used on the concrete posts.
Thank you +CaptainKidd2006 :) yes, I think it's probably about time too for an impact driver. I don't think this screwdriver is as good as my old one.
I used my Dad's Stanley Fatmax when making the gate and although not an impact driver, it pretty much laughed in the face of this one!
Nice one Vikkie, that’s a fine looking gate! Most worthy of a celebratory dance 8^)
Thanks and almost? Why... I... oughtta....!! lol
The Carpenter's Daughter Doh! I got a message before the outro and got sidetracked the first time!! Have now rewatched! Brilliant! Works so well with the end card too!!
Thanks boss hehe...will have to work a bit more on my moves for next time lol
Or some air guitar 😄
nicely done girl.. 💪💪
Thanks very much 👍👍
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but you should turn your top hinges upside down or add a third hinge or maybe a bit of weld to the top hinge, to prevent the gates just being lifted off and making your excellent work all for nothing. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed the video, well done.
Thanks for the tip - I think I'm going to get a couple extra ones to put upside down in the middle 😊
Nice job! Great gate! Enjoy your videos, I'm a new subscriber!
Thanks so much +Carl Rubino 😀
awesome work as ever 💪🏻
Thanks ;)
Great job love your work x
Aww, thank you so much 😀
How do you guys say it? BRILLIANT!!! I say, outstanding, excellent work and well thought out. I see Mr. Vikkie made an appearance. 👏 lol... I really need to learn the metric system.
Wood can be a bastard to get out of hole saws. Use a spade bit in future
Awesome Vikki!! Excellent job!!! And kudos to your boyfriend for not being afraid to let his fiancée handle all the DIY jobs. Hope you have a chance to check out Alyssa on the 'Pure Living for Life' YT channel (they're building a timber framed house in Idaho) at the link that I mentioned before. She really is a girl after your own heart: not afraid of learning new skills, hard-working, dedicated and works well into the night after the sun goes down whatever the weather conditions. But I've never seen her doing any dances.... Maybe that can be your signature on all your future videos - a little Easter egg at the end, with you "getting on down" to the music.
Thank you so much! :) He doesn't like DIY and I like to give things a go, so only get help when I need it. He'd much rather hire someone in to get things done fast, but when we've had quotes, we've both been shocked. So it's no a running theme where he sets me on a mission to try and save us money while he's at work and I much prefer it (and he tidies up after me) lol.
I'm now a subscriber of Pure Living for Life and funnily enough, they currently come top on my channel's homepage for Related Channels, followed by April Wilkerson :) And I'll think about the signature dance.... need some practice 😆
Regarding PLFL, you'll be aware that they're using freshly felled timber (Douglas Fir) to make a timber-framed house. In your vids, you're obviously using shop-bought kiln-dried wood for this and all your other projects, so I just wondered what your dad (professional/experienced carpenter that he is) thinks about making a huge rafters and roof assembly (36 x 36 yards I think) out of "wet" wood and what will happen to it as it dries out unevenly over the next few years. For Jesse and Alyssa's sake, I hope it doesn't warp and twist badly out of shape in the cold winter/hot summer Idaho climate. PS A big 'woof' to Hans!!
The square hole is for carriage bolt not regular bolt.
Great video nice work😃😃👍
Thanks 😉
Hi, great vid, had me laughing at the end "old snake hips" lol look forward to the next vid subbed too🙊👋
+Bruno B haha... cringing but was fun to do once I'd finished lol
Wow look good nice
Thanks so much 👍😀
loved the dance at the end :)
Cheers :)
No problem :) hope your channel keeps growing. Good to see a good UK DIY channel :)
Nice job. Just an observation - I reckon you've got a bracket missing from that drop bolt. You should have two pass-through brackets as well as the bottom stop. That would stop it wobbling around the way you show it doing.
+R Down thank you. I never put it on but did wonder whether that would make more rigid. In that case, I'll drop the existing one and put a second one on. Thanks for spotting!
Thumbs up for the dance.
haha, thank you 😄
“Or what ever it called” I’d have taken my Hilti back home you should have been honoured to been using such a tool oh and use a old bit of timber under things you drill will keep your bits sharp longer. Good job
I was extremely grateful to use it! It's a very powerful tool, but at the same time, I don't know if I said the brand right and I don't want people to think they need to buy one just because they've seen me using it.
I thought I'd also add that I don't feel comfortable pushing products to sell that I can't really afford myself, nor know little about.
The Carpenter's Daughter
Ok that’s me told lol
Glad we're on the same page lol
Almost done. One more thing. OH yeah i need to _______. Ah XXXX it's getting dark!
I've had a lot of projects like that!
I forgot to say nice gates and well done.
+jim young lol, I'm hating these early dark nights. Turns too quickly to see anything 😔
+jim young and thanks 😊
Another nice job Vikkie. Just wondering why the gates were so far off the ground. My first thought was the dog will get underneath them (our dog certainly would!). Or worse still, a skinny burglar might crawl under! Unless you are planning to raise the level of the driveway a bit??
Yes, we're raising the level of the drive with a 50mm layer of gravel any time soon :) I wanted to wait to until it was all down and then fit the gate, but our wrought iron gate hasn't been secure since our fencing video as we had to take out the left door got as it got in the way of the concrete gravel boards.
Thankfully Hans can't get underneath that I've seen, but he's been peeking!
very nice and good job !!! thx :-)
Thanks so much :)
Off course there was a tennis ball.....bless his heart.
lol.... every time I do a project 😄 In fact, the other week, he was trying so hard, he had almost all his toys out 😂
That dance though 😂😂😂
The English weather is unforgiving. It will wrot your beautiful gates very quickly. Unfortunately I noticed you used untreated wood for your outdoor gates. To slow it down take the gates off and seal the ends of the lumber with multiple coats of stain until the wood wont accept any more. that way you'll at least slow down the water ingress into the untreated wood. the other way it will enter is through the vertical wood joints. might I suggest next time sealing all the parts/ stain every surface "prior" to assembly. longer process I know but well worth the effort to completely seal out the elements. well done they look great.
Great gates well done.
The hinges on the gates maybe should have been in the middle of the wood?
Well impressed as for the dancing don't give up your day job. Lol
Only joking.👍
haha! 😆 We tried in the middle as a test, but it left a 1" gap either side where you could see straight through easily, so popped them on the back instead.
Nicely done, Trikkie Vikkie. ;-D
You're bound to get someone come along and tell you those hinges should be on the front of the gate... But, it works and, your way, they fold back a little further than 90 degrees. ;-)
Thanks Olly :) Very true and no one can unscrew the hook hinges from the front :)
just noticed something. at 6:06 do you still have the price tag on your lamp on your head? HA!!! you funny.
Haha, yes! Couldn't be bothered to take it off 😂
I wish I watched this before I paid a guy to come and repair my fence. He’s taken three days now and didn’t give me a price before :(
Is there nothing you can't do? Whether gravel, slabs or screw. All winds, all weather we take a view. 4 by 2 cut in two, add some glue then screw. Wear ear defenders, goggles, it's always wise to. Careful with that manhole or it's your waterloo. Then with a smooth move from you, it's adieu 😃
+Michael Booker 😃 nicely done! 😀
You should feel honoured that you used hilti sds
😂😂😂
Looks great but the fence and gate colour is terrible.
Great Job .. hope puppy cannot dig under it ?
+RemusKingOfRome5 he hasn't tried so far, but hopefully when we put our 50mm of gravel down and whack it, he'll have less chance. I love how he can peak in the meantime to warn us of anyone on the drive.
One of them hinges are ment to be upside down
Ugly colour honestly, but gate is nice.
So you talk about your fiancee. So When you getting Married :)
Once we've got most of the big house jobs done :)
Next week then ;) :) happy times :)
Haha, I wish! It'll be one big wedding and holiday in one we've needed for AGES lol
:) COOL!!! very exciting :)
