Oak gate

[muttley9050]

There's 10mm gap on both sides, should be plenty I reckon.

Ironmongery is very well lacquered so shouldn't stain the Oak but time will tell of course. I did suggest stainless furniture but they wanted more traditional.

Nice one!

Nice frame and ledge door, but what about the brace?

I knew someone would say that. Spent a lot of time making doors and gates in my time. And I know the rules. 3 ledges + braces or 4 ledges no braces. Seen loads of solid oak gates like this with no braces and I don't think they need them. If it sags I'll know about it and I'll eat my words........

Very nice indeed James.

Its always nice to see a well made timber gate.

 

Whilst were on the subject, if you dont mind me asking, have you ever made any internal doors using doweling instead of m/t joints ? How do you think they would be.?

 

thanks.

Looks really good. Like previous my first thought was where's the braces but I've not made gates with that quality timber before. Classy bit of work.

[muttley9050]

I've never really used dowels as a way to strengthen a joint. Just seems like a pain to me.

I'm sure in theory it could work but never be as good as a m+t joint
