    Hello D&J. Congrats on 60k guys!🎊 Lovely job Steve and Ant. The gates are very nice! I would go with a brass or black handle not the metal ring! Hopefully they will be back to you for fencing otherwise the garden is still not very secure!!!
    Keep up the fab work.
    See you Sunday. Xxx

    Great video as usual, very informative and always interesting. I have hung a few gates and side doors, usually on my own, and I am a great believer in wooden wedges of different sizes and angles. It means you can rest the door an a firm base whilst you secure the hinges and adjust the height by pushing in or pulling out the wedge. I use a couple of clamps also to hold the gate steady. Easily made in your workshop from scrap wood. Keep them coming I am learning a lot. Regards Fred

    well done to all at D&J for reaching 60,000 subscribers I have been one from near the start and try to watch every week its a great learning tool and very intertaining at the same time, I have always used wedges to get the gap on doors and gates top and bottom and to get the small gap at the post edge of each gate either a pencil (old school) or a piece of fether edge' I vote brass handle lads keep up the good work.

    Well done on 60K! Should get some exponential growth going on from here so the next 60K will happen more quickly for you (good channel) For an explanation on plumb and level, as I remember being told in my joinery apprenticeship some 40+ years ago was that back in the good old days, vertical and horizontal checks were made with two different tools: a water LEVEL was used for horizontal checks and a PLUMB-bob (a pointy weight on a string) was used for vertical checks and each tool could only check one plane you could shout to the apprentice to pass you the LEVEL or PLUMB-bob depending on what you wanted to check. In modern times though there really is no need to bother as most "levels" now can perform both functions so nothing wrong with calling everything "level"

    A handle that matches the timber and lock would be better, and useful for pulling the gate shut. As for level/plumb, I'd say level for horizontal, plumb for vertical (as used in the surveying instrument 'a level', and the bricklayer's instrument 'a plumbline').

    • @Spikes100

    The simple rule for level and plumb is anything that is vertical is plumb, and anything horizontal is level. Very happy for your 60K subs! I've never had a gate go up bang on the first time, it's always taken at least a little adjustment. I would put just a brass or black pull handle under the lock. It's not too shabby either way. Great video and crack on.

    Great job with those gates Stevie. Nice One! And I agree with you, that particular handle didn’t work for me.
    I always used to find using a couple of wedges under doors/gates will hold them almost mm perfect for you to put in the first few screws and minimised the chances of having to adjust.......also it makes it so much easier for your ‘mate’ not having to take the whole weight of the gate and hold it rock-steady while you sod about getting the screws in.

    @firesurfer 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The gate needs a plain pull handle for when it's windy. Not the ring one. When hanging a door place appropriate shims for height. This will also help line up the hinges without fussing about. Remove shims after install. Half the time I would use a flat pry bar to hold it up and fine adjustments for height.
    Plumb is vertical, level is horizontal, rack is diagonal.
    When mounting locks, it is preferred that the cylinder does not protrude excessively. If it's out 1", shim the rear 29:07 about 1/2 to 3/4" using whatever looks good. . The same material for the gate, wood is ok. Or use plastic shimming material, cut to fit.
    You should use 2 bolts into the ground, 1 for each side. When the weather is bad, it really beats up the doors.
