This is what TH-cam should be about, love it! Really good videos, lol I came across your channel do to the Royal Mail video but I'll subscribe. Keep up the great work!
I discovered your channel last week and I'm completely hooked and have been working my way through your videos. It's been great to see you increase your skills over the years. I'm a carpenter's daughter too and my father taught me some of his woodworking skills. Your videos have inspired me to get out my power tools and do some DIY around the house.
Traditional names for both types are, ledged and battoned door, same as in video, ledged battoned and braced door is the same but with the addition of angled bracing for extra strength and resistance to sagging opposite the hinge side. :-) great video again vickie.
Great job, you have given me inspiration to build one for our narrow sideway. Did you add the cross pieces to the fence panel or were these already like it as ours are just feather edge. Thanks
Vickie you did a terrific job on that, it is amazing that a project that small takes this much effort. I like that color of preservative. I see the good old kitchen stools are popular over there too.
Don't think I'd seen this design before... not sure whether it was left in this property or my parents acquired it from somewhere, but it's been a handy stool for shorties like me 😂
Nicely done. So is that hinge and lock on the inside of the property? Be odd if latch was outside? Looking at similar but we ended up just drilling hole into brick wall to take bolt as side was too narrow to fit any wooden posts...
We've done this for security reasons as there's another one of these gates on the opposite side which you can see at the beginning on this video: th-cam.com/video/pGbBNgteZ-U/w-d-xo.html&t
Great stuff, looks really good - a little surprised that you didn't use some sash cramps to squeeze the boards together in case they shrink and the gaps open? We have a T&G shed that's stained black but has orange stripes in the warm weather when the boards shrink and the original wood preservative shows!
Very cool. It's interesting to see someone use screws on a fence. I forget that not everyone deal deals with insane wind for half the year. The screws would rip through the wood around here
Jigsaws are not really suitable for long straight cuts, that small circular saw would be a better choice, however I would recommend a timber battern either clamped or temporarily screwed as a guide with either tool.
How about a cabin hook to hold it open when you need to, or just to stop it blowing shut behind you? You could end up having to climb the fence to get back through.👍🏼
There is always alot more to a gate than people first expect. Getting hinges and latches all lined up can be a nightmare, especially on older warped gates. I did wonder why you were putting all the hardware on the nice side but then realised you had another gate further down the alley. I guess double security with the low fence next door.
Nice job . To save back ache don't bend down to sand something when you can stand it up and do it , I am old compared to you ( you had the gate on it's side).
The Carpenter's Daughter no leave it in at least it’s not a hairy one 😆 keep up the good videos your dad is teaching you well I have learnt a lot of my father over the years and I’m now starting to build my own house

Here's my written guide if it helps: thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/woodworking/how-to-build-a-wooden-gate-6/
That trick for the rip cut is brilliant.
cheers :)
Your father is very knowledgeable... very useful video... his instructions well executed too... great job...
Thanks so much - will pass on the words :)
This is what TH-cam should be about, love it! Really good videos, lol I came across your channel do to the Royal Mail video but I'll subscribe. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for this. My Mum just brought a house with a narrow side entry like this and there is no gate. This has made me feel a lot better.
Another brilliant job and it’s inspired me to start a similar project a 14x8 summerhouse/ workshop with a side shed.

Aww, thanks for your comment and so happy I'm making you get your tools out ☺️
It looks amazing, of course!
Thank you :)
That's a nice neat job. I wasn't aware that you could do without a Z frame on narrower doors so that's good to know👍🙂
Me either. I'll have to find out what the maximum he suggests until you must have one.

You are such a good daughter. Thank you for sharing
No problem and thanks for your kind comment :)
Great Gate! Building a gate, relatively simple but so satisfying! Looks good! Thanks for posting.
Thanks! Loved getting the practice and the garden is a little bit more secure :)
Nice little job and love the improvised work bench! Like how you just get on with it.
Thanks! The makeshift bench idea was my Dad's 😂
Great little gate. Hey made my last one with an old shed roof!! Free wood! Thanks for sharing, great tips as always 🥰🌲🦊🌲
Thanks so much Claire :) Love the idea of recycling... wood isn't cheap 😳
Excellent video with a wonderful smile at the end!
Thanks :)
Excellent work! Great tip to drop the catch receiver too. I'll definitely be using that.
I was impressed with that too! I didn't have a clue lol
Nice job vikkie looks really smart
Thanks so much :)

You’ve reminded me that Lidl have those little cut off saws ... really useful ..
I recommend an impact driver. It'll change your life. Mine is my fave tool to use
Been using a Makita one at the weekend and I completely agree!!
You’ve got skills. Great job 👍
Vickie you did a terrific job on that, it is amazing that a project that small takes this much effort. I like that color of preservative. I see the good old kitchen stools are popular over there too.
Thank you :) is that what the gate was resting on?
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK Yes
I am thinking they were popular here in the 40's through 60's, LOL you might be a little young to remember them.
Don't think I'd seen this design before... not sure whether it was left in this property or my parents acquired it from somewhere, but it's been a handy stool for shorties like me 😂

@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK makes sense. Narroe gaps are a pain to fit gates along with latches and locks. 👍 Job well done
Cheers :)
Great stuff, looks really good - a little surprised that you didn't use some sash cramps to squeeze the boards together in case they shrink and the gaps open?
We have a T&G shed that's stained black but has orange stripes in the warm weather when the boards shrink and the original wood preservative shows!
I know what he'd say to that as he's said it before... he doesn't like to make tongue and grooves too tight due to expansion.
And true about the stripes. But they'll shrink back when the weather changes, so I make sure I stain the grooves when they appear in the summer
Nice job Vickie. It looks great.
Thanks so much :)
New to your channel and genuinely love how you just explain stuff... (can't find the thumbs up emoji...)
Hi there, any reason why you fixed the hinges to the face of the boards and not the frame?
I think it came out Really Great! Well Done👍
Thank you! 😊
Il be doing mine exactly the same way especially for the hinges to be firmly secured... iv made few mistakes in the past!!!
Have fun :D
Thats a sexy job. I love a good gate. I've built about 15 from scratch and usually from scrap.
Thanks :) This I believe is now my 3rd, but loved learning more about the measurements for clearances this time!
@@Problimatic fits perfectly. Latches slot tightly in. Whats not sexy about it
nice work! you guys need a work bench, my knees hurt watching all that lol.. some sawhorses, 2x4 and plywood.. greetings from Canada..
Very cool. It's interesting to see someone use screws on a fence. I forget that not everyone deal deals with insane wind for half the year. The screws would rip through the wood around here
Well, I'll be showing a gate to a shed soon and that was mostly with nails and a handful of screws :)
Perfect video just in time ☺. Where did you purchase the ring latch from?
Great video, do you know how tall the gate is by any chance? Thanks
Thanks! I'll find out when I'm there next and get back to you 😊
The Carpenter's Daughter thank you, that would be great.
Solid job 👍
Thank you :)
Hi, the worx saw you used, would you say this was good for cutting sheets of MDF or ply, I’m struggling with jigsaw to get it straight. Thanks
Jigsaws are not really suitable for long straight cuts, that small circular saw would be a better choice, however I would recommend a timber battern either clamped or temporarily screwed as a guide with either tool.
@@David-bl1bt thanks, I got some straight cuts with jigsaw as I did clamp timber as guide...but now have circular saw 😊
How come you chose to have the hardware on the outside of the gate? :)
For security reasons. We also already have a gate further down that side of the house.
Great job but a little advice stain your t+g boards first before you assemble so that when the boards move you don't see a white tongue
That's one way to do it :)
How about a cabin hook to hold it open when you need to, or just to stop it blowing shut behind you? You could end up having to climb the fence to get back through.👍🏼
Will definitely have a think :)
Looks great. Wonder woman I say 👍
Thanks! It helps to have lessons from someone who's been doing it for 50+ years 😂😂
I cannot get enough of that beautiful and very funny dog. Any chance you'd make a video about him?
Me too :) What kind of video were you thinking?
Going to be making a similar gate soon! Top video! Beautiful woman who is good at DIY! What's not to like. New sub from me
There is always alot more to a gate than people first expect. Getting hinges and latches all lined up can be a nightmare, especially on older warped gates. I did wonder why you were putting all the hardware on the nice side but then realised you had another gate further down the alley. I guess double security with the low fence next door.
Yes, double security :) The other gate is pretty much identical to this one, but my Dad made that one when I wasn't there.
Tidy job well done 👍🏻
Thanks so much :)
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK no thank you I look forward to all your projects I've learned a lot from them 😁
That's excellent :) Got plenty more to come too 😊
Good to hear
Does the wood not move about when using the compact saw??
The bit of wood I cut is screwed down to the heavy sleeper so it doesn't move while cutting.
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK looks precarious on video 😁📹
"Yeh! ... Like That!" :-)
Thanks :)
Nice job . To save back ache don't bend down to sand something when you can stand it up and do it , I am old compared to you ( you had the gate on it's side).
Thanks for the tip :)
Blimey that is a little gate ,hope a large person don't buy the place they will get stuck 😂👍😉
LOL.... there's another gap at the other side of the house to get through just in case :D
Because its a single file sort of gate 'social distancing' should prove easier!
It's definitely a single file kind of walkway on that side of the garden 😂
What station was that metal bench stolen from?🤣
Lol.... god knows where it came from, but it was at the bungalow when my parents bought it.
Your getting the builders bum complaint lol
Lol, well, I couldn't honestly see it 😂
The Carpenter's Daughter 😂😂
Forever having to edit it out 😂
The Carpenter's Daughter no leave it in at least it’s not a hairy one 😆 keep up the good videos your dad is teaching you well I have learnt a lot of my father over the years and I’m now starting to build my own house
LOL... never haha
you r so beautiful
Thanks ☺️
