Hi, I`m Rick the Local Friendly Handyman and welcome you to my channel. Here I show videos of both completed jobs for my customers along with videos explaining the tools/fixings/materials that I use to create my projects. I build bespoke items rather than assembling flat packs as feel this creates a stronger sturdier product for my customer.
I use Makita 18v Tools and other manufacturers products like Evolution, De Walt. I will test and review new products so please get in touch

I may post the occasional cooking video as I really enjoy spending time in the kitchen creating a lovely meal after a hard days work. In our spare time my partner and I love nothing more than a road trip either in our trusty Volvo or on my Harley Davidson exploring our beautiful countryside here in the UK as well as Europe and USA.

The bolt is very strong I'm sure. What about the fixings around it?
Stainless screws as usual
I vote for Fanny McVanface
Sorry lol Vanny McVanface
Lovely 🎉 see you in July!
Can't wait!
Hi, I have been thinking for a while that I would do something similar to replace 30 odd panels and came across your videos on you tube. Out of interest what timber do you use for your rails and do you just use three horizontal rails cut exactly to length and wedged in? I was thinking of using vertical timbers in the post slots and then using 3 rails, all in 4 x 2.
Hi Chez, I use sawn Redwood and treat the ends. hope this helps. Thanks Rick
Get a recip saw man much easier
Hey Morrisman, i have one but wasn’t on my van. Didn’t take long all the same. Cheers Rick
Why didn't you extend the diagonal braces right to the 2 by 4 edges?
Hi Peter, I never go over 45 degrees on braces as then you lose the strength and gate will sag. Thats why you don’t see any angle bracing on bridges over 45 degrees. Hope this helps and thanks for the feedback. Rick
It’s essentially only as strong as one paving brick
I have bonded the joints between the surrounding bricks so solid as a rock now.
He is doing fantastic. He has a spirit level.😮
That’s handy ‘cos now he can lift that set out and put it where he likes👍
Bricks are now bonded all around. Super solid
The failed metal fixings must be removed and the holes made good. You simply can't grind them off because the steel fixing will rust in the hole and spawl the brickwork, creating more work.
Huge thank you to my 500th subscriber. Please message and I will give you a shout out.
What's with the scuba glasses😂
Haha better than nothing
thumbs up Daddio
Cheers mi deers 😜
Rick I LOVE IT
Many thanks Mike
Please list where you get your gate hardware from. Thanks!
Hi Glenn, I have a contract with a supplier so cant offer any details sorry. Thank you for your comment Cheers Rick
Hi Rick, where do you get the gate furniture from, is it all gatemate gear?
Hi there, Gatemate Suffolk Latch but the rest is a whole lot better than gatemate. Hope this help and thanks for reaching out
What’s your thoughts on ripping the shiplap to make the right gate width, what is the effect on the pressure treatment
Treat cut ends with a superior treatment.
Nice looking gate. We're surprised the person didn't want a keyed lock on that nice looking gate 🤔 Thank you for sharing your videos 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Looks outstanding 😁
Thank you Lizza.
Got the same mower and it has been a great bit of kit, soon be time to put it out to use again, subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
thank you for this video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐
Thank you too
Excellent work as always. God bless you and your beautiful country 🙏
Thank you very much!
Looks fantastic. Great job 🙏 thank you for sharing your videos 🙏
My pleasure 😊
Hi All, I was asked to put a key lock on this gate. When i arrived and saw it I was shocked. I didn’t build this gate, just shared my findings
The bracelet on wrong,they won,t prevent or support the gate from sagging
Whoever built this gate needs a lesson for sure
Nanna's beautiful girl ❤❤
She's beautiful
Thank you, naughty too lol
Looked like hard work tbh for 40v
Not so much, tough crete with steel bands inside
I love my hoggy house and feeding station. Thank you
Our pleasure!
why not lift it out😂
Ivy growing all over it prevented it for that first one. Others lifted out.
Correct me if i’m wrong but these fence panels should lift right out, no sawing necessary
Not with all the ivy growing on them
Not with all the ivy growing on them
The ivy growing all over that 1st one prevented it being lifted out. Also they were cut up to help get in the back of car to take to the tip.
Wouldn’t it be easier to remove the ivy rather than sawing the entire panel off? Or are you on day rates ;)
Always easier observing than doing if he's on day rate what's up are you jealous lol
Have a day off hahahaha
Very nicely built gate my friend! I love those hinges and gate handle
Thank you very much!
I like those hinges! Well made door man 😊
Thanks! 👍
Looks fantastic. That gate is extremely nice looking.🙏
Thank you Lizza
Brilliant Job Rick...Thank you
You are very welcome 🙏
That stain is nice looking... Fantastic video as always 🙏
Thanks Lisa. I use Barrettine Wood Preserver which is available in clear or 8 colour choices. Water beads off when treated and it protects against wood burrowing insects whilst being bee friendly.
That is a nice looking gate with the arched top. Excellent craftsmanship. Thank you again for sharing your videos. God bless 🙏
Thank you for your support 🙏
Fantastic looking gate and locking system. Don't know what kind of wood that is. Will it take the weather conditions? Very nice job, impressive. God bless 🙏
Hi, the timber is Pressure Treated Redwood from Northern Sweden. Thank you 🙏
That’s a great job my friend 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much for the feedback it means a lot.
Hi are your gate all made with butt joints?
Butt, dowel or Kregg HD pocket holes. Depends on the size and weight.
Bloody hell. I saw your post on Facebook this has definitely knocked you for six. Keep smiling pal and hope you’re feeling well soon.
Much appreciated
Great job what donu recomend for against a sided house?
You could build something like in my "Lean To" playlist.
How do you open from the other side?
Hi, customer chose to have no access from the front. Cheers
Where could i find the prints on this to build one for my backyard bar
Hi Andrew, I build purely to customer requirements and never use prints / plans. Thanks for getting in touch.
Nicely done although the side panel seems to be out of context! - If I did it again I would blend the side panel with the whole fence line to blend in without looking like an isor as it is. The side bit beside the fence door does not seem to go hand in hand.
Thanks for you input.
Great work. 👍
Thank you so much Ceiza.
Amazing craftsmanship
Thank you Steven
Nice tidy work again. What type of screws are they? Are they stainless or coated?thanks
Hi and thanks for the message. They are nano coated and made in Taiwan. Hope this works. KTX drive. Thanks Rick
Looks great❤
Thank you Cat.
