Thanks for the video on how to make the gates! A friend from church needed some gates replaced & they weren’t built correctly. Thanks to your video I’ve made 1 gate already & making the other gate today. As a side note, I also added in 2 horizontal “braces” so I can screw the pickets into in the middle to help keep them from warping. Great job on the video & good luck on the garage conversion! You’ve got this my friend!👊🏼
Norm i remenber this old house Bob Vila n Norm Abram i think love it. I m not a carpenter my dad was He built our home with wood in the 70s Pine in those days was the greatest....love to see a great carpenter in action. Thank God Jesus was one.....
When you're cutting those angles on the middle board, just grab one of those clamps you were using and put it on the opposite end that way when you are using that circular saw it doesn't tip up on you.
I've been a union carpenter for 20+ years now and soda few side jobs here and there I always use half lap joints yeah they are a nice strong connection if they are really wide gate I will add a cable and turnbuckles . But not necessary. Nice to see someone doing them right
Wasn’t aware there was a difference. Didn’t know there were people that just “installed” fences. Maybe it’s different in the US but in UK a joiner that does fences is a carpenter. In fact we don’t call them carpenters we just call them joiners.
Great job. I do like the lap joints being used. I always use these myself. However once lumber breaks down and gives up its strength over time even these joints succumb to rot and break down. You have more open source of area being exposed for water and weather to attack. A metal reinforced frame work would help hold it up once it started deteriorating. And of course all lumber would last much longer in the weather if it was kept treated properly. 20 30 50 years even. But since most will not do the maintenance after ten, the problem occurs and rot takes over even on the most sophisticated and interlocking system designs. Good job.
If you've got a table saw with multiple blades the half lap joint is super easy. You set it to the height and run the board over it a few times and it's clean.
i Really enjoyed your video. Your narrating is quite good whilst at the same time watching what you were doing. Music at the end is good whilst reviewing the framing. Thank you.
Great video. Instead of a chisel to clean out the cuts on the half lap joints try a block plane with a sharp knife in it and in between cuts do not lay the plane face down it will dull the blade and when done retract the blade . Alittle quicker than a chisel . Secondly a little glue goes a long way . Tight bond is a very good glue. Excellent job.
Nice work man. Thanks for sharing. I just made a single-swing drive thru gate 90 inches long with pressure treated 2x4s. 4 horizontal bars, 2 verticals, and one diagonal. Super heavy (cedar not available here in Philippines) Half laps + diagonal brace= solid.
Hey @justaddwood, I'm building a gate this weekend and am planning on building some gates. Do you think i can replixate this same method with 2x6 instead of 2x4 on a 5ft fence? Just curious if you think it weigh too much and be more likely to sag over time. Thanks!
Half lap joints and a cross brace from the bottom hinge should hold up a great deal of weight long term. I don't think 2x6" material will cause a sag. Good luck with your project!
Try your router table when cleaning up you half laps joints or you tables make your first crosscut and just nibble away at it I also use my multi tool to clean them up . But a nice sharp chisls is usually the way to go
I will be doing my side gate and one of the best tips I can give you is using a steel-braided cable to use in conjunction with the brace you installed. I was always told the brace has be to going from the bottom right corner to the top left corner for proper bracing and upholding of the gate.
Thanks. So far so good. They settled maybe a 1/4" a couple/few weeks in but I adjusted the latches and all is well. Other than turning a lighter color they look and function exactly the same as the day they were installed.
With that type of brace, you want the brace to go from the lower hinge to the upper corner of the side that opens, right? So the diagonal brace is in compression?
@@justaddwood I have built a few in my time, and a single diagonal cross member brace is not enough when I am making a 4 to 5 ft wide gate, so I double it up with the grain going toward the boards. I cut it longer than the cross member that I am screwing it to.this helps the door from flexing, twisting. ..
Hey, thanks, Adan. If I recall correctly, the corners were either a 1.25" or 1.5" outdoor construction screw and the screws for the diagonal brace were 2.5". Hope that helps. Thank for watching!

Always admire the way a good carpenter builds a gate, a fence installer does it diffrent, but both ways get it done. Nice job

Hi, I need a 6 ft and 12 ft gate and this is my first video on how to do it! Thank you ! I’ve learned a lot !
I love making my half laps with a router, 1/2" spiral upcut bit and a speed square. Super easy, clean on the first go.
Nice!
That is definitely a more efficient method to produce a cleaner half-lap.
I didn't even think of that. One of the guys asked me if I was gonna marry the saw since I was on it so much. God damn

Thanks for the demo, I'm going to use your tips when building my new double gate and my single gate in the next couple of months.
Nice, thanks!
Nice work. That lap join will definitely keep the gate square for much longer.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!

Yes, but can be very tricky cross cutting long narrow boards on a table saw.
i Really enjoyed your video. Your narrating is quite good whilst at the same time watching what you were doing. Music at the end is good whilst reviewing the framing. Thank you.
I followed your instrutctions with my measurements so far so good! We live on a slope....what I wouldn't give for a flat driveway!
Nice! Yeah a flat area really helps.

4 horizontal bars, 2 verticals, and one diagonal.
Super heavy (cedar not available here in Philippines)

Thanks for the response! W youtuber
Excellent !!!
Great video. I bought a new mower and it doesn't fit through the gate.. time to start building!

Nicely done. Great video.
Thanks!
Thanks I am about one week out to build a 10 foot gate I will use your method (Cheer's)
Thanks! Hope all goes well!
I will be doing my side gate and one of the best tips I can give you is using a steel-braided cable to use in conjunction with the brace you installed. I was always told the brace has be to going from the bottom right corner to the top left corner for proper bracing and upholding of the gate.
The beauty of this type assembly is that there is no hardware required. Build it right and you'll not need any wires. Thanks.
The brace goes bottom on the hinge side, top on the latch side.
Thank you for the instruction!
@justaddwood how is the fence gate 3 years later ?
Thanks. So far so good. They settled maybe a 1/4" a couple/few weeks in but I adjusted the latches and all is well. Other than turning a lighter color they look and function exactly the same as the day they were installed.
Thank you!
All it’s shown nicely but I would have to see the finished gate.

I like it!
Nice

That sounds right. Thanks
Are you drilling your screws in at an angle?
What type of pocket hole bit did you use? Where did you buy it?
I didn't actually use a pocket hole jig, I just inserted the screws at an angle similar to how a pocket hole works. Thanks!
Country music would it be better for ur great carpentry Skills
How do you keep the gate at this distance from flexing?
Not entirely sure I understand what you mean, but it's pretty rigid and with the diagonal brace and the lap joints, it doesn't flex at all

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it and if one of mine ever twists or fails I'll have to look into your method. Thanks!
dado blade on a table saw works best
That's sooooo cool and cute sooooo beautiful girl ❤that way we love ❤U
👍
What screws did use it in the corners ?
Hey, thanks, Adan. If I recall correctly, the corners were either a 1.25" or 1.5" outdoor construction screw and the screws for the diagonal brace were 2.5". Hope that helps. Thank for watching!
Thanks I love you video
I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the Woodglut plans.
All wood frame and post gates will sag. Its the nature of wood construction.
OK Karen. 3 years have passed and not sagging yet. I'll let you know if they ever do.
Sglue! 😂
My adventure with woodworking started with Woodglut.
Thanks
