Gate Restoration Part 4 St Leonard’s Church Wortley

Part 4 of the restoration of the entrance Gates at St Leonard’s Church Wortley. 2022.
So I deemed the left leaf to be beyond economical repair (a rare occurrence for me). The sheer volume of decay means that repair will always be a bit of a half job these gates are exposed to weather and road spray so thought needs to be taken for the future of glue repairs. It seems a shame to scrap so much good timber but the decay and worm damage make it so.
In this video I’ve made up the main components of the left “new” leaf. I then look in more detail of how I created the dental course on the top rail.
Thanks for watching
