    That's a nice neat job. I wasn't aware that you could do without a Z frame on narrower doors so that's good to know👍🙂

      Me either. I'll have to find out what the maximum he suggests until you must have one.

      Traditional names for both types are, ledged and battoned door, same as in video, ledged battoned and braced door is the same but with the addition of angled bracing for extra strength and resistance to sagging opposite the hinge side. :-) great video again vickie.

    I discovered your channel last week and I'm completely hooked and have been working my way through your videos. It's been great to see you increase your skills over the years. I'm a carpenter's daughter too and my father taught me some of his woodworking skills. Your videos have inspired me to get out my power tools and do some DIY around the house.

    Very cool. It's interesting to see someone use screws on a fence. I forget that not everyone deal deals with insane wind for half the year. The screws would rip through the wood around here

    Great stuff, looks really good - a little surprised that you didn't use some sash cramps to squeeze the boards together in case they shrink and the gaps open?
    We have a T&G shed that's stained black but has orange stripes in the warm weather when the boards shrink and the original wood preservative shows!

    • @TheCarpentersDaughterUK
      @TheCarpentersDaughterUK  4 года назад +1

      I know what he'd say to that as he's said it before... he doesn't like to make tongue and grooves too tight due to expansion.

    • @TheCarpentersDaughterUK
      @TheCarpentersDaughterUK  4 года назад +1

      And true about the stripes. But they'll shrink back when the weather changes, so I make sure I stain the grooves when they appear in the summer

    How about a cabin hook to hold it open when you need to, or just to stop it blowing shut behind you? You could end up having to climb the fence to get back through.👍🏼

  • @toast6135
    @toast6135 4 года назад +1

    There is always alot more to a gate than people first expect. Getting hinges and latches all lined up can be a nightmare, especially on older warped gates. I did wonder why you were putting all the hardware on the nice side but then realised you had another gate further down the alley. I guess double security with the low fence next door.

    • @TheCarpentersDaughterUK
      @TheCarpentersDaughterUK  4 года назад

      Yes, double security :) The other gate is pretty much identical to this one, but my Dad made that one when I wasn't there.

    Nicely done. So is that hinge and lock on the inside of the property? Be odd if latch was outside?
    Looking at similar but we ended up just drilling hole into brick wall to take bolt as side was too narrow to fit any wooden posts...

    • @TheCarpentersDaughterUK
      @TheCarpentersDaughterUK  4 года назад +1

      We've done this for security reasons as there's another one of these gates on the opposite side which you can see at the beginning on this video: ruclips.net/video/pGbBNgteZ-U/видео.html&t

      @David-bl1bt 2 года назад

      Jigsaws are not really suitable for long straight cuts, that small circular saw would be a better choice, however I would recommend a timber battern either clamped or temporarily screwed as a guide with either tool.
