Very neat work again! Re. post removal - Why did you prefer to use the angle grinder rather than your multitool or reciprocating saw for a flush cut? Of course, sparks are always a crowd-pleaser... I hope they hire you to conceal the bins too!
+Benjamin Stephens Thanks! TBH I tried my multitool and it just didn't make an impression on the post - don't know why, but I needed to get it out, and who doesn't like sparks?? 😆👍😂
Great stuff as per normal. Just genuinely love your uploads. You make everything you do look simple n easy.? I know it’s NOT though!! I wonder if you actually realise just how many VALUABLE tips you impart during every upload? It’s a pleasure to learn from you. David.
Great result Peter, as always. I love your attention to detail. Just one question, when I have made and fitted gates in the past I have used a stop on the latch-side. Just something for the gate to bump against should someone close the gate a bit quickly. Is that something you prefer not to do?
Thanks Lee! With this kind of auto-latch I don't generally fit a stop, no, and in this specific case the homeowner - who's a designer - specifically wanted the gate and gateposts to be as 'uncluttered' as possible. So yes, the autolatch takes a bit more strain, but it's well secured and I've never had one fail. 👍
Hy Peter, any suggestions for working outdoors when it's raining. Iv been asked to salvage some wooden patio doors so will need my heat gun ect and If it's raining thjs will stop me. I have seen the small tents which the police use which would be ideal but £300 and i try keep costs down.
I’ve never done it, but I know a few guys use cheap n cheerful garden gazebos as temporary shelters for inclement weather - might be worth a try at ~£40 for 3m sq? (Amazon)
Peter, I found your video really helpfull.. I am really ne to woodworking, I have built a great workshop but now strugging to comit my ability to a cunk of wood. Like, Im in the UK. just off the M4 Swindon way... if you are looking to teach someone who wants to learn some of your techniques then please message me back... thanks, Steve
Peter, amazing as always. You truly are a master at what you do, your attention to detail and perfection are what make your work so special. Incidentally, at 10:23 does that lady call you James? Maybe Peter is your stage name ;-)
Jack Morris Thanks! Haha, no, I do a lot of work in that particular street and she's a nice old dear, but she always called me Jame or Jimmy - no idea why! I've. I've been called worse 😂👍
Thank you! Glad you find them useful, and I really appreciate the feedback; I'm only a few weeks into a year-long TH-cam project (a video a week for a year and see what happens...) and it's really great to hear I'm on the right sort of track! All best, P
Peter Millard yes, sir. I'm sure, the many who enjoy your videos share a similar sentiment and while I'm sure you are doing this mostly to help people, your channel will grow and in turn grow your reputation professionally. best wishes
i have a question. what if im gonna make a gate at our veranda just like that but instead of a cement it was covered with tiles already can i drill it?
Sure; the type of tile will determine what bit you should use, and you should take it slowly, with no hammer action on the drill, until you get through the tile and into the substrate. 👍
Nice one Peter. My only thought was about the remains of the old gate posts. Fully appreciate the point about keeping the new posts of the ground usually, but in this case could they not have been dropped down to hinpde the ground off 'stumps' of the old metal posts? Terry.
T Radford Thanks! Re. the old metal posts, yes, that was always an option but on balance I decided it wasn't really worth the agg. e.g. grinding them down perfectly level with each other, etc... Turns out the front path is being replaced in spring, so quite happy not to have anything bearing against my wooden posts, tbh! Cheers, P
Fab video Peter as always. What gap do you leave between the gate and the posts? I never seem to leave enough and in the winter they swell up with moisture and then start to bind! 🙄😩
If we assume that you were in the owners garden working on the fence then is it not it good practice to put the palings (good side) to the neighbours side as you did with the gate? Good to see such attention to detail with everything else.
Lovely gate, especially the colour. And I’m sorry if you’ve been asked this a gazillion times, but what is the name of that hand palm sander you use. The thing you use for manual sanding bits of filler. I did look in the list of items in the description but couldn’t see it. Thanks in advance Peter.
Thanks Graham! It’s home-made, just an old sanding pad with a knob on it. Full description in my early Sanding tips video - th-cam.com/video/tXVNReJui74/w-d-xo.html 👍
Peter Millard ah ha! That explains it. No, I hadn’t got to that video yet. 2hrs every night so far, I’ll get to all your videos soon. I’ve even got my wife watching them. Although, it’s giving her dangerous ideas about more things for me to build around the house.... lol 🤣
Lovely job Peter,What a difference it made.
Iain Williams Thank you! Customer was certainly pleased :) P
Fence and gate looking good! Only thing I would mention is, any time I fix timber to masonry, I always put a bit of dpc between the two.
👍
Peter what a fantastic job enjoyed the video.
Thanks! 👍👍
Nice job, James. :-)
I really enjoy watching your video's. Very Nice work. Subscribed

Fab video Peter as always. What gap do you leave between the gate and the posts? I never seem to leave enough and in the winter they swell up with moisture and then start to bind! 🙄😩
Thanks! The gap’s typically around 4-6mm, though it’s not set in stone. 3mm or less and you run the risk of binding, 6mm+ and it looks messy 👍👍
If we assume that you were in the owners garden working on the fence then is it not it good practice to put the palings (good side) to the neighbours side as you did with the gate? Good to see such attention to detail with everything else.
It was actually the neighbours fence, but my client (whose garden I was in) was paying for the general refurb with the agreement of the neighbour. 👍
I've watched this a few times over the years. You make it look so easy but it isn't! It looks great too!
Thanks! 😆👍👍

I see a laser level in your future :)
Nice videos as always!
+MrLovblad Thanks! Dead battery in the laser level, had to do it old-school! 😂
Beautifully done
Thank you! 👍
Great job.
Thanks! 👍👍
