Not sure how I landed on this video but I'm glad I did.what a beautiful work of art ....Love it .. From Cape Breton Island In Mabou Nova Scotia Canada........ Have a blessed Day ..May God Bless us ALL ... 8 .35 pm..... July 10 th 2024 ...................................🇲🇹......🇨🇦
The end result amazes me. The parallels, the watercolors, the joint gaps are accurate, which is a serious challenge with such a large size and weight. Moreover, all this in simple conditions and with tools! Congratulations, use it with pride and health.
Beautiful build. But those hinges will not keep out Romans for long. I do not comprehend why not 2 gates given all the excellent works on the oak posts and a wall to brace presently unhinged one to. Plus the nice electric conduit. Even so very lovely. Have noticed 10 years seems maximum working life for powered wooden gates near me while manual last 30-40.
Bless you mate. I like your devotion , not just yours, all people who wants to get theyr job's around the house by them, I don't know your studies or what are you doing for a living, but your wife is next to you, good team, I didn't see many people before, been hard worker is better than waiting for benefits, bless you 🙏🏻
I am a locksmith and commonly get things caught in doors opening and closing, my brain instantly went to the drill and I went 'it's gonna hit it it's gonna hit it' good thing the scene switched
Not enough can be said about how wonderful the gate is. But I am very impressed with the wireless hand truck steering/lift assist unit. A woman who works with you is an indispensable force multiplier. I am subscribing.
@@victorriceroni8455 yes I think it’s only a matter of time until Elon musk releases the unmanned hands free cyber sack truck for this very purpose 😂 thanks for subscribing
Just binge watched your videos you have put in a lot of hard work and it's paid off the house and grounds are looking good can't wait to see what you do with the church well done
Great job guys 👌 Another option for posts is digging a minimum 1.2m /4ft deep hole and compacting aggregate around the post.. that way, moisture can escape the posts and stops them rotting out at the base. Also makes replacement easier in the future and is more environmentally friendly than concrete.
i made a metal gate almost identical to yours for a guy and used the same principles with the steel as you did with the wood . It was labor intensive work but the end result is good .
THAT IS A NICE SETUP! 🤩🤩🤩Thank you for choosing our product. We are truly impressed by your DIY talent and how you have completed your auto gate project in such a neat and smart way. We totally love your auto gate and hope you enjoy it. Cheers!
@@project.restoration Certainly! It’s an honor to know you're interested in reviewing it alongside your current model. We'll definitely reach out to you once the single version of JY9132 becomes available. Stay tuned^^!
@@TOPENS Seen this single gate opener would peak my interest in its ability. There’s a lot of wind load and weight on that gate hinges and controller , I would like to see him, put on grease able bullet hinges . they did a terrific job. They put the word team work in the project. look at the enclosed caption.10:12 time in video. Truly amazing from Orlando Florida.
in 200 years time, people will be tempted to cut that gate in half to count the rings. It's a stupendous bit of work and will be serviceable for generations to come (though the electronics might need replacing every thirty years or so). Bravo guys.
I am stunned the post is able to bear the weight of that gate. the moment of force at the end of the gate must be at least 6000lbs. Looks great. Congratulations.
Done this a few times, the next time around I’ll weld up a steel post mounted to a concrete base, via adjustable studs, as posts always rot out in my area.
This will be sturdy for a few years then they're gonna regret making a massive concrete bathtub for that post to rot in. Water that does get in has nowhere to go. Doesn't matter how thought out you think your plan is. Water WILL get in. Rain. Puddles. Splashes. Dew. Condensation. Snow? Jack hammering that pour gonna be a bitch.
Truly a great fantastic build you see the teamwork 10 minutes and 12 seconds in. I would consider using HD greaseable bullet hinges. There’s an off a lot of weight on those pin hinges.
@@bobbennett3153 thanks Bob, yes I did try to find some greaseable hinges but I couldn’t find anything that didn’t require some welding skills, which I’m currently lacking 😂
I want one of those, will Amazon deliver? lol I was drawn to this video by the algo...it knows what i love to watch before i know! Great choice algorithm! Awesome workmanship!!
Friend did a similar gate, in two parts meeting in the centre, but I don't think his posts were buried as deep. Consequently high winds shifted the posts. One post was actually bolted into the house wall and it tore the fixings out of the brick work. His gates were completely solid, yours at least have some board gaps which should make them less of a sail in high winds. Plenty of comments on it being overbuilt, but I think I'd rather expend twice the effort overbuilding it once, than having to build it twice.
Impressive gate. I have an understanding that the diagonal bracing should be orientated in compression rather than tension for maximum strength to prevent racking. Also you stated that you were using treated lumber, inhaling fumes of the treatment chemicals is hazardous. Your gate is a testament to your meticulous standards.
@@218philip yes that’s correct and what I went with on this gate but there are ways of constructing bracing to utilise tension. Due to our wet climate we wanted to use treated timber for the Shou Sugi Ban as a sort of “belt and braces” approach but yes it’s not ideal burning it for sure. Thanks!
That’s a HUGE gate! Beautiful though! Great craftsmanship bet the frame weighs 22 stone!(about 300 lbs) he says it weighed 250 kilos, that’s 550 pounds!! Whoa!

Excellent job… that is truly one of the most beautiful Gates I’ve ever seen. I’ve been in construction for over 45 years. Great job!
My Lord, what a massive gate. You could keep the Romans out with that gate.
I was thinking the exact same thing, lol

Who else was staring at the drill when he opened the gate with the opener?
Thank goodness for the timely scene change!

If the gate is anything to go by the house will be amazing. Makes my gate look like it’s for kindling 😮

This gate was incredible, 👍👍👍👍🙋♂🙋♀
Well done you two fantastic job on the gate build 😊
Great workmanship & a brilliant result.

Excellent work! The gate frame was ababsolutely magnificent!
i made a metal gate almost identical to yours for a guy and used the same principles with the steel as you did with the wood .
It was labor intensive work but the end result is good .
... and half the weight too I am guessing?
Brilliant! I'll look up Topens, as I've Got a 4x2m manual gate and dream of automating it! Thanks!
Awesome project! I'm amased on how quickly it opens good job!
You sir have one heck of a wife/girlfriend! She jumps right in and works very hard! Awesome gate, very very well built!

@@TOPENS thanks! it is a great product, I only wish you sold the JY9132 as a single opener instead of just as the pair, that’s what I really needed.
@@project.restoration Thank you for sharing your expectations with us. We’re glad to tell you that it’s already in our plans. Stay tuned😉!

Great design, craftsmanship and execution! Well done
What a well planed out job with fantastic results.
Kudos brother ! So good to see you and partner working on this project. It really came out very nice, a good job. Well done, both of you !

@@donsmith9081 Hi Don, thanks!
Congrats, beautiful end result, should last years. 👍
Maybe that software company that got big creating Windows might exchange their Gates for yours. Excellent job.
Now that is a must have. Great work guys 👌👏👍
And now you have a Jolly Nice Gate .
Fantastic work!!
Congratulations to both of you ! A real piece of work!
Best wishes from Montreal!

LOL, the oak post wont, it will be rotted out in a few short years!
The wind force on the door will be enormous,
that is beautiful work.
