The progression of D&J has been incredible over 2024… staff more skilled, extra workshop space, nee machinery, recycling abilities - take a bow Dave & Bernie amazing leadership 🎉❤… and Stevie for the editing not only in Vlogmas but all year round ❤
That gate looks good, i think the only way you would have got a closer fit is making a cardboard template. One of you holds a rectangle of cardboard on the back of the arch, the other runs a marker pen around the inside. Cut it out with scissors, check the fit for the centre of the arch, and then work out the minimum gap for when it hinges
You get what you pay for, also what you pay for is up to you what you get out of it, and that's the thing I think dave has done, to me he's forward thinking and knows exactly what the business needs to progress, this year's episodes of d&j has been a really good , entertaining, fascinating watch, all the lads and lady's deserve a lot of praise, pushing the company in the right direction, oh by the way I'm well jealous of your pick up trucks, I think Steve has come on leaps and bounds, I know his best work is fencing, but his blockwork, tarmacking, the resin work , I think in my humble opinion, is second to none, I also think Fin has found his feet, #morefin, 😂 loved the whole experience of d&j, may I wish you all a very happy Christmas, and a prosperous new year, ❤
Packers in between your door and frame Stevie, raise to desiresd height and pack it out equally, fix everything, job done, save you lifting and holding constantly. You get it bang on everytime anyway but it might make life a bit easier mate. Another cracking video boys 👍
I have loved watching you chaps work your magic on the houses of England in 2024. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone at D&J. You've helped to make 2024 a great year. Thank you!
Just want to say what a fantastic boss you are Dave taking your time with Finn to drive the vehicles safely you have now got a great team working for you and Scott is an asset to you and the lads have come on leaps and bounds and it's good you learn them all the different jobs you do merry Christmas to you all..
What a great year at D&J. Thank you to Dave and Stevie for producing and editing two videos a week AND vlogmas. Merry Christmas to all the boys and girls (and Pickles) at D&J. Here’s wishing your company a very prosperous new year. Dave Birmingham
It's great to see all the Christmas spirit at D&J. Nice to see an organization that values its employees and what the bring to the table. Well done. Merry Christmas to the D&J team.
That bow top gate was spot on stevie!!! I don’t think you could of got it any better because you always have a two inch gap because of the wall plates….and the expansion gap that allows the gate to open!!! It’s been great watching a video every day I can only imagine how much work you put in making it happen!!! Love to you all at d&j this Christmas and I hope you all have a great new year!!!
Beautiful gates Stevie. I’ve never seen Dave buy anything without a lot of thought and research. So I feel every purchase helped the business. And he loves a good deal. Yard is looking great. Secret Santa looked fun. Have a great time at your Christmas party but be safe. ❤ Merry Christmas D&J Projects Team and Family including Mr. Pickles.
Great to see a boss treating his workers as family with the “Secret Santa”, all other firms should take note, this is how to treat your workforce, they will work harder & better as they feel valued. Have a great Xmas & New year to all at D&J 👍
*Hello and merry Christmas my D and J family* 👌 Big shout out to new man *JACK* Lovely to see everyone in their Christmas jumpers 🎄🎄🎄. *Stevie* - is that a water pipe where the arch gate is going from kitchen to.....? Wow...the finished item looks mega too 👏👏 *Looking forward to Sundays vlog already* ! Fair do's you've *smashed it* with this Vlogmass edition this year 💪🏻💪🏻 well done Stevie boy ! 👍🏻👍🏻 Merry Christmas 🎄 Gary
first of all,how’s your thumb Stevie, I must admit that did make me laugh only because I’ve done it myself so many times and I know how it feels. yes it does bloody Hurt .Great content guys, as always love the yard work and that JCB is a godsend to you guys now it just makes life so much easier, especially with the attachments that you have carefully chosen I can’t drive at the moment because of my disability, but soon as I’m let loose on the road again. I’m coming up there to visit you guys❤😊
Loved the bow top gate looks soooo much better! I really enjoy seeing yard work very satisfying, I’m a 70 year’s old female! Thank you so much for all the content you provide it shows true dedication. Wishing you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.🎅🎅🎅
Have a great Christmas. Thank you for the content and enthusiasm you have. I no doubt it has been a challenging year for all concerned. I have been watching for the last 4/5 years. Best wishes to you all.
Another great video from the D&J team, thank you all for taking the time out of your own time to make the videos I’ve enjoyed everyone of them you guys never let us down always great content, thank you to the girls in the office as it wouldn’t possible without them. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all .
A cracking Job on the arched gate and garage door Stevie, thanks for wearing hard hats as that makes me feel good about your safety. Merry Christmas from South Wales.
Another great year, with D&J thanks for the great Video's of work and play , . let's hope next year will be as good as the others, merry Christmas to All the staff of D &J . See you on Sunday
Nice work on the two gates/doors they turned out very nice. As always loved the video and loved the way you all take the time to make sure every job turns out as great. Wish all the best to everyone at D&J Projects.
Stevie there’s no end to your talent those gates look brilliant just like tob say a massive thank you to you & your dad for taken time out to do these videos in the run up to Christmas very much appreciated 👏👍
I can just squeeze in this vid as I'm off to Heathrow on my way to the Dominiquan Republic and the Bahamas, so that's where I'll be watching the next one so happy Christmas to all the girls and boys at D&j and a great New Year,
Thanks for the entertaining us all over the past 12 months, it's been great how D&J Projects has gotten bigger and better. Have a fantastic staff night out, you have all deserved it. Wishing you all at D&J Projects, a very Merry Christmas and an even Greater 2025. 🎅🤶 Happy New Year 🎉🎆🎇🎆🎊
A Merry Christmas to you all. I prefered the sound tracks from earlier videos tho but great contents and thank you for sharing ... and congratulations on 86k - here's to 100k in 2025 x.
I was just thinking about the door hanging bags, and you mentioned them. They are great for internal doors. You can hang them single-handedly. I've done 15 in my house with them by myself. However, gates don't have stops onto lean against, so still a 2 man job. It will takes the manual labour out the lift and they are only a few quid. I tried the foot leavers on a pad with a bal joint pivot, and they were hard to use.
I would recommend STANLEY FATMAX TradeLift Multifunctional Lifting (up to 150kg), Levelling (2.5mm adjustments), Holding (up to 150kg), and Spreading (up to 220mm) Tool, a very handy piece of kit... Two of them would be better for doing driveway gates. They are expensive but very handy.
I hope them boys get more of a bonus then what's in scrap, unless there's a lot of scrap! It's none of my buisness but they work hard and deserve a good bonus. Beyond the financial aspect it's the motivation to keep going hard for D&J.
Wish I could have seen photos and pressies but only on Utube for me. However Nottingham’s modern finest band of merry men will do okay I’m sure with D&J family.best wishes x
People might not "shut up" because they could be seeking attention, feeling insecure about silence, having a strong need to be heard, being overly enthusiastic about a topic, lacking awareness of social cues to stop talking, or potentially experiencing underlying anxiety or mental health issues that manifest in excessive talking
Brilliant content as normal 👍 the garage side door and the arched gate are very nice, looking forward to Sunday's video. Have a great Christmas party D&J Projects, Happy Christmas to everyone 🫶🍻👍
watching you fit the gate and thought to myself get yourself some Winbags they would get you a perfect gap either side with a wedge to hold the bottom up …then you mentioned getting some😆Have a great Xmas d&j 🎅,
Yes i remember you doing that with the ball.. Gates look good . Boys and girls in festive jumpers. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE AT D&J You have got a good team working for you.🎅🎅
Merry Christmas all! I never knew there were so many of you guys! Could you re introduce the team when you are all together please And what their company roles are!? That would be great Thanks 🎅🏼🎅🏼😊❤️
Hello chaps, that matching gate and door gladdens my heart. Stevie, you and new man Jack have done a phenomenal job there. Hope everyone has a great night tonight. It's been strange for me this year not having an office Christmas Dinner and party to organise and attend, that's what comes of being made redundant I guess. Best wishes to all at D&J for a great, party, Christmas and New Year. Best wishes Christine x
Excellent job again guys 👏Deffo will benefit from the airbags for sure 💯 and also if you wanted to mirror the shape of an arch I've always used the ancient old trick of a cardboard, scribe and transfer, then take 20-30mm off for expansion 👌
Another cracking video guys, Wishing You all a very Happy Christmas & new Year my friends. Stevie old school but a piece of cardboard to mark the shape of the arch, Not saying it will get it closer but you get the perfect arch shape, That said........ That wasn`t the best of arches so well done lol
Air bags. And you do know to burst those blisters immediately, as long as clean, it will cure and harden the new skin faster ~ if you leave the blister on it will cure but when done, will be like exposing new raw skin so it's like another accident.
Some wedges back to back under the gates will help raise and lower instead of having to hold them. Also a cardboard template of the arch will give you an accurate profile to transfer to the wood.
Luv luv luv the bow top gate Stevie. Suggest removing the wood from the old one and putting it in your raised garden bed (by the new parking area) as a trellis for vines like roses for the office ladies. Luving vlogmas! 🌻👍🌻
14:00 Dave if you did not know the spindle moulder can be very noisy and where I used to work they built a box around it in the factory to decrease the sound and even then it was still loud to use
Stevie, air bags are good but not a reliable as Viking arms. As to the arch gate, you can use a piece of cardboard to trace arch but the way you did it was perfect as the cut out scribed would not fill the other edges. Have a great Xmas to all at D&J
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all the D&J Boys and Girls. Thank you for all the great videos throughout the year. Have a great time and stay safe xx❤️👍
Thank you for the video D&J team nice gates/ doors personally would have liked a smaller gap between brick arch and the gate but that is me otherwise great job by all!!
A very big thank you for all your amazing content over the last year ❤️ wishing D&J and every subscriber a very happy Christmas and new year

Happen Christmas to all at DJ looking forward to next year's jobs🧑🎄
Stevie, just cut some wooden wedges for lifting gates, can use for aligning sideways gap spacing also.
People might not "shut up" because they could be seeking attention, feeling insecure about silence, having a strong need to be heard, being overly enthusiastic about a topic, lacking awareness of social cues to stop talking, or potentially experiencing underlying anxiety or mental health issues that manifest in excessive talking
Good afternoon to all at D&J Have a lovely break love watching the videos Merry Christmas to you all simon
Brilliant content as normal 👍 the garage side door and the arched gate are very nice, looking forward to Sunday's video. Have a great Christmas party D&J Projects, Happy Christmas to everyone 🫶🍻👍
Merry Christmas and a happy new year for Ireland.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours ❤
Always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work and keep them coming 👍👍
Stevie well said about your plant purchases if you didn’t think they would do a job for you then you wouldn’t buy them 😂

Loved both gates but the bow top was really spot on
Just use a few timber shims when hanging gate although you get the result it looks armature to hold the gate loose😊
Another cracking video guys, Wishing You all a very Happy Christmas & new Year my friends. Stevie old school but a piece of cardboard to mark the shape of the arch, Not saying it will get it closer but you get the perfect arch shape, That said........ That wasn`t the best of arches so well done lol

A Very Merry Christmas to all at D n J thanks fir vlogmas well done 🌟🎉🎅🤶🏻🎉🌟from the oldies
Happy Christmas to all at D&J!
Winbag pump it up
Or use the gusta bar as leverage
New forklift in the new year then? The door on the garage is lovely looks really good
Happy Christmas to you all guys
Some wedges back to back under the gates will help raise and lower instead of having to hold them. Also a cardboard template of the arch will give you an accurate profile to transfer to the wood.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all at D&J 👍🏴
The archway gate looks great, you got it bang on Stevie
Luv luv luv the bow top gate Stevie.
Suggest removing the wood from the old one and putting it in your raised garden bed (by the new parking area) as a trellis for vines like roses for the office ladies.
Luving vlogmas! 🌻👍🌻
Great idea!!
14:00 Dave if you did not know the spindle moulder can be very noisy and where I used to work they built a box around it in the factory to decrease the sound and even then it was still loud to use
Good to know I will take that into consideration pal
Stevie, air bags are good but not a reliable as Viking arms. As to the arch gate, you can use a piece of cardboard to trace arch but the way you did it was perfect as the cut out scribed would not fill the other edges. Have a great Xmas to all at D&J
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all the D&J Boys and Girls. Thank you for all the great videos throughout the year. Have a great time and stay safe xx❤️👍
good time of year for shiver my timbers lol
Air wedge 👍 you’ll love them their so handy 😀👍
You can use a little pump up bags
Great job on the gate and door.
Alright guys great video hope you all have a great Christmas and New year guys and girls 💯💯💯💯💯👍
Thank you for the video D&J team nice gates/ doors personally would have liked a smaller gap between brick arch and the gate but that is me otherwise great job by all!!
Running your own business is about taking risks. Otherwise you won't succeed!
Stevie, u want some Airhogs, Screwfix do them, help alot with hanging doors etc etc
