Kia Ora. Despite the strong accent, the instructions are just perfect. The best and clearest set of instructions ever. None of the usual waffle from other presenters. I would not mind being your apprentice. I think I will die a frustrated Carpenter. Just born too early to get benefits of KZbin videos. Still, will continue learning and trying any woodworking projects need doing. Thank you

[@hardnock-theoriginal..6539]

A great blend of old techniques with the speed of new power tools. Modern day carpentry, a big thumbs up from across the pond.

[@MrBashriprock]

Thank you for respecting the art of Carpentry, Woodworking, and Craftsmanship. A top notch video for sure. It's really nice to see things built the correct way. I look forward to checking out all the videos on your channel. I wish I would have found this much sooner. Good day!

[@thekrrib]

Yup. Agree.

[@thomasjackson7785]

Thank you for taking the time to explain what you are doing and why. I have never made a gate, so your tutorial will help a lot, thank you very much!

[@leemurray6809]

Enjoying the Southern hemisphere narration , the Mark Webber of DIY! P.s top quality work and instructions. Now I gotta get on the old dog and bone and tell all my garden gates about this!!!

[@slowcheetah24]

Thank you for the excellent craftsmanship. This is real carpentry, not a handyman hack job!

[@tomwilson7452]

These videos are great. I been working in construction all my life but not Carpentry, so seeing the finer details of how to build things on these is great.I'm an old dog (65) learning new tricks. Built a Deck, Pergola with a Roof and 3 Gates and 4 Raised Gardens so far from watching these videos. Thanks M10.

[@mitre10nz]

Good on you for trying your hand at some new tricks Tom! So stoked our videos could help you out mate 😃 Cheers, ^James

[@johnevon8220]

Great job from New Zealand, America applauds you!

‘Lovely biscuits’ this guy is crack up. Makes it look easy as alright.

[@bobjons7]

Beautiful work!! Love all your videos. Keep them coming. Absolutely love your terminology!!

[@paulstenson1610]

First time I've come across your work Mr Mitre. You are a top bloke for sure, I have really enjoyed watching you work, with all the care and pride of a true craftsman. I look forward to following you on this channel. Many thanks,

[@DeeconYT]

Mr Mitre hahahaha

[@thekrrib]

His name is Stanley, from Mitre 10. He does all the ads and is the face of marketing etc and obviously is named after Stanley tools .. .. but, as it turns out, Stanley actually is his real name.

[@MiaMia-xr1bz]

Love your videos. Very easy to follow and understand. The best one on KZbin. After hiring a few contractors over the last couple of years to install my extra long driveway gate, I've decided to do it myself. Your video really is helpful. Thank you

[@fenceart5497]

if the contractors u hired are worse than this guy and ur gunna take his advice.....I need to move to your area so I can make a killing.....what a friggen joke this guy is ....SERIOUSLY

[@brianhall4112]

@@TheAstroflight I notice @fenceart.... didn't respond. Bravo @TheAstroflight for your comment. I second it.

[@MarcAlier]

Just for the trick with the spade this video is worth watching! Great work. Thanks for sharing

[@jaimedavila2999]

finally some one that really know how things are done...Thank you very much your videos are fantastic

[@charlesarnold4963]

That was a really excellent explanation and demonstration. You covered all the points as far as i could tell. I have made a pair of driveway gates and i could not find any advice on how to fix the brace until i saw your video. Thank you.

[@TheViplounger]

Keeping the mother in law out sounds about right lol Awesome work.

[@Chris-zc7my]

Great video, I liked how you made the frame for the actual gate.

[@cdx873v]

Man I feel stupid. I used to flip the board to get it cut right. Thank's for showing me how to do it in one go! Subscribed!

[@sioneika3738]

Awesome skills, good craftmanship

[@Donegaldan]

Great explanation combined with great demonstration of skills.

[@AKLTAXI]

Awesome video. Looking at this I decided I better pay someone to do it for me. Its not as easy as I thought would be. Plus need more tools. Craftmanship is not learned overnight. My biggest respect for all our builders!

[@i.bgaming2745]

Im a builder and love watching you build mate keep up the good work 👏

[@salg5936]

I'm an Electrician, we are the higher paid tradies here in Australia..I think that Chippies like this bloke should be getting paid more than us. Carpentary is more of an Art and in my opinion, I believe it also requires more skill than the electrical scope. GUN WORK Buddy!

[@YellowJacketGroup]

Now that's precision wood working. Well done sir.

[@Jestunes]

Very professionally done. My hat off to you sir. Luckily I have a radial saw so all I have to do is lower the blade to make the knotches. Other than that well done. Oh and I like the glue you were using, but personally I just use carpenters glue. Seems to work just fine and no need to buy another glue. The sealant brushed on keeps the wood from ageing and keeps costs down.

[@ezabreeza3223]

All of your videos are great. You are a very good instructor!

[@trevy8673]

Master carpenter ever. Two thumbs up!!

[@PeanutsDadForever]

These videos are epic. Well done New Zealand 🇳🇿! So practical and easy to follow 🇦🇺

[@cunoodle2]

I'm in the US. Am I the only one who thinks that we are crazy for not being on the metric system? 922 mm - 16 mm is SOO much easier than. (36 19/64) - (11/16). WTF....

[@jimmypoopap]

its top tier measurements

[@pootube50]

'Murica

[@michellebernas2833]

The one thing I thought throughout the whole video. What is wrong with us??

[@noire1001]

On the other hand 3"x2" is easier to say than 75mm x 50mm. We tend to switch between imperial and metric in the UK as our parents all use imperial and we were taught to use metric at school.

[@nsatoday]

The square drive screw is amazing. Phillips screws cam out too easy and torx screws don’t sit on the bit well enough for awkward work. Square drive FTW! I’m used to using both measurement systems because of the military. Like the base 10 of metric for easy math; however, prefer SAE for things like fuel and fuel mileage. Because It’s easier to figure out range based on MPG than Liters per 100k. 🤷🏻‍♂️ they both work

[@reddawn1960]

great vids mate. cudos to mitre 10

[@morikihogan4483]

awsome project you make it look so easy

[@BarryHull]

Great gate, but I don't think it would keep my mother-n-law out. Not strong enough for that.

[@gabbstaukamo7439]

“Keep the kids in or the mother inlaw out” 🤣

Keep the kids in and mother inlaw out..This is called the real kiwis lol. Bravo well-done mate

Interested to hear about the hinge which has five segments. What is the reason for the two and three split and why does it only go one way on?

This guy is a great teacher. Do you have any videos on rewiring electricity? I have a few light switches I would like to move to different walls.

[@gav17]

Shermanre1 he's a chippy not a sparky sadly

[@williamoloughlin8298]

illegal. Has to be done by a registered electrician.

[@Rutedown]

Good information. 12 yeard old me couldn't help but giggle when he said "take your peckers out"

[@FernandoRodriguez-ds5ri]

Beautiful biscuits.

[@MrDoyley35]

What about when the kiln dried wood gets wet and expands. You’ll lose the gap especially where the latch is and the gate will jam. Shouldn’t you allow a little more space for that? Otherwise you’ll have to re-hang the gate and chisel in the hinges which is a pain.

[@111LisHa111]

Amazing and explained in details which is so great. 🥰

[@mitre10nz]

We're so glad you found it helpful! ^Meg

[@worcesterexchange554]

Lovely work. I wonder if people have the time and interest to build to this quality? If you are paying someone to do it then it is going to be very expensive.

[@michaeljaguar1576]

@ 7:01 “Next step is mixin up some Tupac glue” -Now that’s gangsta!

[@shizzhizz1234]

Dont forget to grab your peckers

[@vannguyen3251]

Thanks

[@RanGer-498]

that glue stronger than liquid nail?

[@MrElliottjc]

Most finishing joiners in the uk couldn't match that precision and its a garden gate!
