That gate, finished.

[Jaeger_S2k]

I've finished the gate that was broken. Some intervention on some filler of screw holes that weren't rubbed down but was asked just to paint as is. So I did, all my filling was rubbed down.

Here's the gate as it started out posted on the Carpentry/Joinery Forum

I also asked about stays but couldn't find a suitable and quick solution so you'll see what was done with chain, an eye and a d-clip and a bolt, nut and 3 washers, works well.

The worst gate was the one that had been whipped round the end post by the wind and buckled, it was dismantled and rebuilt....

It wasn't hard to take apart, it wasn't glued well and the cross bars weren't attached to the frame! They were attached to the T & G.

Cleaned up the edges and frame.

The Jigsaw, I did number and mark the pieces to put them back in the same order.

The frame upright was badly split, I pulled it together, glued, clamped and screwed back together.
The dowels weren't glued, and the snapped ones I cut back clamped in position and countersunk some screws through the frame parts.

The gates can't blow beyond 90 degrees but can be unhooked form the eye with the d-clip to open fully under control.

Client is pleased considering.

[ultimatehandyman]

Nice work

[marc1106]

good job Jeager

[Jaeger_S2k]

Cheers all.
The nice thing is it'll remain nice and bright white for some time as it's acrylic.

Client is pleased, neighbours have commented on how nice his 'new' gates are!

One thing that did bother me, the hasp and handle, when I fitted them absolutely level to eye, which was really level. The hasp wouldn't ride up the striker and drop nicely (if you look you'll see they are slightly out of line).

Is this normal or did I miss something?

[thescruff]

Should have nailed your trade board on one

Very nice work indeed,
