[@morgancalvi6675]

Actually Doug, I'm subscribed to wheelsdan because you mentioned him on your woodworking channel. I never get notifications though. I'm not getting notifications for you either. I just have to go to the site and see what, if anything I missed. I must have pissed You Tube off...easy enough with my mouth 🤣.

@@wheelsdan your better at it then i am. Have see it on other channels when they show of there welding and that people go on about how bad it is. All we can do is our best and get better at as we go on. I rather be a Jack of all trades then a master of one.

Thanks for watching . Ill be back wood turning soon I have problems with my lathe !!!

[@Zealdave2223]

Looking at setting up a workshop for myself and watching how you negotiate around your shop in your chair has been very helpful P.S. I'm in a chair too, Great job

[@wheelsdan]

Thank you for watching. Yep setting up your shop is very individual and obviously in a chair its completely different but I did make my benches slightly higher than I wanted so other people don't struggle and get a bad back bending too far down to my bench . Also if you can get yourself used to working on something only a little lower than normal then when you go to someone else's workshop thats not disabled its not too hard work lol . If you need any help or advice on workshop setup please get in touch! Ide love to help

[@RufDiamond]

Great job Dan. Gate looks lovely. I’m thinking of doing something similar myself, but in a fence version, between block piers, but I’ve been told not to fix the tongue and groove composite boards to the steel frame as it will impede expansion of the boards in the warm weather and warp them. I have seen a number of gates with no fixings and they have warped boards also. What’s your thoughts…?

[@wheelsdan]

Thanks for watching and commenting luckily I left oversized hols and siliconed them and this gate isn't in direct sunlight for too long of the day . Saying that it has been in temperature ranges of -6°c to +40°c with no issue I guess its buy quality boards mate

[@RufDiamond]

What brand of boards did you use…?

[@morgancalvi6675]

That is super nice!!! You can come do my picket fence. These plastic/vinyl things on the market today are garbage! A steel-composite fence would be so much better. A word of advice to everyone...NEVER get a wooden picket fence unless you want a very high maintenance fence.

[@wheelsdan]

Thank you that's very kind I would happily make a picket fence however this would be quit an expensive fence. Thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it

[@morgancalvi6675]

@@wheelsdan I know it would be expensive...but if you add up the soapy water and paint and new pickets...it will end up paying for itself.

[@wheelsdan]

Very true mate well let me know if you would like it making 👍🏻

[@morgancalvi6675]

@@wheelsdan the shipping would be ridiculous...I'm in Canada.

[@wheelsdan]

😄 🤣 that would definitely cost a fortune but still thank you for watching I really appreciate it

[@davescreations7793]

You are awesome love that bench it’s the right hight for the wheelchair can you please tell me what hight it is because I am in a wheelchair also and is your lathe at that hight also

[@wheelsdan]

Thank you for watching. Yep ill get back to you later today mate ill go measure it properly lol 😆

[@wheelsdan]

Sorry for the long wait i completely forgot I hadn't replied to you 😬 my benches are 830mm off the floor and 800mm deep the steel is 10mm plate on top of 50mm box steel at 3mm wall thickness thanks for the question and sorry again for the late reply

[@morgancalvi6675]

I'm pretty sure the bracings should be on a diagonal though.

[@wheelsdan]

The bracing wasn't to strengthen the gate frame but to stop any flex or movement of the composite boards. Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it

[@morgancalvi6675]

@@wheelsdan yeah...that should be diagonal. Barn doors are made like that for a reason. Plus if the gate door ends up sagging, diagonal braces/other hardware are what lifts it.

[@nicoleandjoshbaldwin4228]

What was the thickness of that material you used for the frame

[@wheelsdan]

Hi thank you for watching the box section was 3mm and so was the angle so it wasn't too heavy but still a very solid gate !

[@nicoleandjoshbaldwin4228]

Fantastic. Thank you. Just found your channel.

[@aaronthomson299]

hi anychance you could give the dimensions of the metal used?

[@wheelsdan]

Hi sorry I didn't see your message... yes the steel is 40x40x3mm box and the angle is 40x40x3 too if my memory serves me correctly lol I will double check to make sure if you need ?

[@roygriffiths6459]

Great job Dan,inspired me to have a go at making my own side gate,are the hinges 4"x2" and where did you buy them?

[@wheelsdan]

Hi mate the hinges are from amazon and yes 4x2 just make sure they are heavy duty and definitely stainless Steel mate don't get galvanised stuff 👍
