Greygamefowl 160 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Finished the gates today, just got to peel the posts and hang them tomorrow. All the gates are made using no glue or nails I do screw the pickets on though, all the rails are round tennoned through the gate heads then wedged with dry hardwood wedges. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GruffaloGriff 1,859 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks for your comments guys, its nice to hear comments from others. Agree with Greygamefowel nice to hear others comments. 100's of views not many comments. Guilty myself, enjoy reading the posts often don't comment. After Gaf's "Where have they gone" post, trying to be a bit more pro-active myself & post. Can loose heart a bit if you post and get no replies, makes you wonder why bother.
