My Lord, what a massive gate. You could keep the Romans out with that gate.
As a semi-retired carpenter your project is a work of art. Great design and quality work will reward you for many years to come. Keep up the good work on restoring the rest of your site.
@@ericbutler7662 thank you Eric, very kind of you
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........

Not sure how I landed here but glad I did. Excellent craftsmanship and extremely well put together video production.
This is all around amazing!! The craftsmanship, the design, the functionality, the technique, the detail, just everything! Amazing!
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.
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.
Now that's a gate!
If the gate is anything to go by the house will be amazing. Makes my gate look like it’s for kindling 😮
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.
yea my concern as well. i can't imagine that post stay's plumb for long. But a nice build overall
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.
Fantastic result!
you both did an excellent job , perfect result
Now that’s what you call, not worrying about the mule , and just loading the wagon!!
Very nice job very nice
This is one of the most incredible builds I have seen on here! Such a nice job! Now I need one at my house!
Excellent work mate , truly
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.
Brilliant job beautiful gate 👏 👍
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!
Well done you two fantastic job on the gate build 😊
Thats impressive !
Bodaciously Awesome
Amazing work
Great job I think you’re a doctor or somebody in the medical field. Truly a perfectionist. Great job.
@@johnshuttleworth983 thanks John, but I’m not a doctor unfortunately 😂
AWESOME WORK !!
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!
@@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😉!
@@TOPENS I’d be very happy to install one and do a comparison review on both if you’d like to send me one?
@@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^^!
So beautiful, so useful
Brilliant! I'll look up Topens, as I've Got a 4x2m manual gate and dream of automating it! Thanks!
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
@@dianefowler5351 thank Diane, well done our best to keep the videos coming
Impressive...to say the least! :)
Proper job mate craftsman/women at its finest 👍
@@Davey-ys1dx thanks Davey!
Benchmark job 😮
Now that is a must have. Great work guys 👌👏👍
Amazing!
Amazing job👍👍👍
Very nice good job congratulations
Top job
Gonna look up the electric gates
Thanks for sharing
@@udoubuilder4823 it’s a really nice convenience and pretty simple to install. I’d say they’re well worth the investment
WOW! That is a fantastic gate! Bravo!
top tier!
Beautiful gate
I say, that is most splendid correct!
Brilliant work! Hell of a job for two people.
Wow. Everything about this video is perfect. The gate, the craftsmanship, the narration. Very beautiful gate.
@@FredrikRambris thank you, that’s very kind
Lovely
This gate was incredible, 👍👍👍👍🙋♂🙋♀
Congrats, beautiful end result, should last years. 👍
Лайк!
Outstanding indeed.
Great work! The only concern is the fiction on the hinges
This is so beautiful gate!
Hermoso trabajo
Engineer’s Motto: Anything worth doing is worth way over doing. This gate will withstand a nuclear blast. The gate will be standing and swinging long after the house has fallen down and turned to dust.
Awesome job buddy credit to you both
At 6:50 of video my thoughts were ,”it was at this point I realized I couldn’t make the turn to get it out of my house “. 😂
Jokes aside. Great gate mate! 🤙😎👍
@@PapaDan it was pretty close to be fair 😂
There's power. :)
Esa puerta está muy bien hecha
Muchas gracias!!
Nice.
Nice Job ❤
Beautiful install. Nice detail with the acorn nuts securing the gate assembly lag bolts.
@@gregsandidge5649 thanks! Well spotted
I enjoyed every minute of this video ,well done . This channel is on the up 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the support!!

Off topic, but you have an amazing home!
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
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!
Good job.
Nice job, and what a nice place you got👍🏻😀
@@tayred81 thanks!
Joinery masterclass. Thanks for sharing.... you also have a new subscriber!
@@TheBoyKennedy very kind of you, thanks!
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 !
Great work, just one suggestion: eye protection, particularly with power and impact tools but never a bad thing as a course of habit.
i was out to mile a poste for a customer in oak, i didn't had any machines to move it aound, so i had come up with smart ideas to move it i was 4 meters long and 40X40 cm
Wow 🇨🇦
Great job!
I'm not sure how I'd feel if Alexa told me to "hang on" tho, LOL.
@@gregmize01 😂
Just a point ! When should Sufi ban is to be used it’s really best practice to burn both sides of the timber to prevent cupping. I absolutely understand why you’ve not done this, Cos it really is a Horribly dirty job when both completing the burning & the wire brushing. But anyway it looks a brilliant job & kudos To you.
Wow that is beautiful! I would be scared to be caught behind it.
Brilliant work and brilliant editing makes it an easy watch 👍🏻 just subscribed
@@Denscaff82 thanks Den!
really good job lad.
@@russellwardle7261 cheers Royal 🗡️
Mag lock would have worked great
Beautiful job! I would have used steel posts. The wood in concrete will rot away.
Lovely work and gate . Hope it swings ok but not sure for how long it will stay aligned ….good luck
👍🔥
Heavy duty tooty fruity!!!
Класссс!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I built a gate of wood 12 ft long my son. Little son of about 4 years old could open or close it
in order for the gate not to slide down over time, a small wheel is required at the far end of the gate that rests on the cement foundation you cast, this is very important!!!!
@@per-goranborjesson2045 I did purchase one but wheels can not be used with an electric opening system, it was stated in the installation manual
That turned out nice. Now you just need sharks with laser beams to complete your security system.
@@benjaminreinhardt259 that’s in the next video
Very nice gate , but still no match for ole uncle Al!!
Brilliant team work. Liked & subbed. 👌🏼
@@dougieranger thank you very much
@@project.restoration My pleasure.
If you want the gate to last, you really should replace all the galvanised bolts and screws with stainless steel A4. They are vastly more expensive but the acid in the oak will eat away anything else.
@@MrTflarsen I’ll look into this, thanks!
all the biker clubs where im from have this style of fence and gate 🤫
i love wood, but i hate the vibes this sort of fence gives.
its not that hard to make it look very different and still have the same effect.
its like a work half done, no one in their right mind can say it would not look better with a rounded top for example 🤐
I think you are wasting your time mate, set up a website and just make these for others.
Did you shou sugi ban both sides? The technique preserves wood, for like a thousand years. But you have to do all sides, not just the visible side.
@@jonblair5470 no, as the cladding all ready has the same wood treatment as the frame, at the very least it will last as long as the frame does.
👍✍️🤜🤛
G'day,
For some reason, this video has popped up on my RUclips.
I'm glad it did. 🤗
You guys have done an awesome job constructing your gate.
Well done.
Q. The hinges you used. Are they able to be adjusted to allow for any slight sagging over time.
✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
@@kevinhamling1963 Hi Kevin, yes they are threaded so can be tightened or loosened from the back of the post to raise or lower the gate. Thanks!
The most important point is "Open the gate" at 22:45, amazing connection with Alexa!!!!! what's kind of linker？？？？？
Just a wi-fi switch Alexa compatible from amazon
@@project.restoration thanks
Why are posts so sturdy? Cuz gate is heavy. Why is gate heavy? Why not light?
Good auto wooden swing gate, but climate change can cause a lot of trouble
Indeed, like posting crap on youtube.
I would have used a UV/water protectant wood stain on the fence before adding all the locking hardware to protect the wood from the elements. raw wood outside isn't the best idea with no weather proofing.
@@King_TuTT all the wood has been pressure treated before installation
@@project.restoration yes, but I still would highly recommend another layer of protection that is easy to do. That project is lots of money and work to not take care of it. looks excellent by the way! I recommend this stuff. Cabot® Semi-Transparent Stain & Sealer Low VOC is a deep-penetrating, linseed oil-based stain that beautify and protect exterior wood. comes in all kinds of colors.
Outstanding job! New to your channel where are you located?
@@grobertson2008 hi Gary thanks! We are in Scotland 🏴
Lovely gates. As sure as the sun rises it’s gonna sag real bad. Why not metal fram e and timber clad??????
@@donaldtriumph1682 I was curious and wanted to test out an all wooden frame. It as just about as ridged as I could have made it and I guess only time will tell
