Hahaa. Clenching is a forgotten art here in the States. I just had an opportunity to explain it to my boy the other day. We just bought G'pa's farm and we were looking at the old barn. Old gates are nailed and clenched. Neat.

Very cool video. I love how the videos on this channel are well shot and edited, too.

You're welcome!

A nice piece of woodcraft, and very therapeutic.

Hi. I'm Jamie you've got some great content. I've watched 3 of your videos so far. I've got a Hazel at the top of our garden. I've let it grow for about 5 years so that I can make a couple of panels. I'm too late for this year and a bit too busy. So I'll keep watching your videos and do it next year, being better prepared. I love this gate and will see if I can get one gate and a panel from my tree. I'm a professional woodworker but not at the natural end like this. I'll subscribe and keep learning from your vids. If you get chance to look, I started KZbin Jan 21 and its going pretty good. Cheers for now. Jamie 👍

Very therapeutic watching...Thankyou.

Great video guys. I love to see the bodgers still at work. Here in the united states, we are missing the bodger community.

[@jwrappuhn71]

Old school rocks!!!

[@woodlandsedge3456]

Great Video do you cut the Piff out to avoid cracking/ Split as it drys and seasons. Great Work

[@pierregoffioul267]

hello I am Pierre from Belgium. Does Ian Barnett give training in old-fashioned woodworking?

[@woodlandsedge3456]

Great video

[@allanegleston13]

thanks for posting

[@benstewart9326]

Great video thank you

[@woodlandsedge3456]

Great video what are the distance between the holes

[@woodlandsedge3456]

JSTR No not really as I’ve already sorted it, you know what it’s like when you have made something and you get a funny fu@ker trying to be clever and telling you you got it wrong

[@jethro69tull]

Is it sweet chestnut?

[@bantamsescort]

Who's the guy in the background using the circular saw? 🤔

[@vernellefrance2669]

[@rawbacon]

[@goddesskristie]

What kind of wood would be best for a gate hurdle?

[@ajaxtelamonian5134]

Probably sweet Chestnut (Castinea sativa) as its easily split and lasts a long time in the elements.

[@fandci]

@@ajaxtelamonian5134 Ash if you don't have sweet chestnut which only grows in Kent and Sussex in usable quantities.

[@ajaxtelamonian5134]

@@fandci Yeah am a but spoiled down here in Sussex love working with chestnut. But Oak works well too if it's a straight young Coppice. Have some rare Sessile Oak Coppice near me that would probably work for that.

[@Taliesin6]

Nice video but isn't clinching done across the grain instead of along with it ?

[@ERLong-ww7yn]

Clinching with the grain allows the nail to sink in to the wood, thus avoiding sharp exposed edges that'll catch your hand.

[@viktorkhamitov643]

молодец!

[@staginglightingsensation8505]

This man should try working with bamboo. I think he would love it.

[@barkebaat]

Yes, and if my Auntie had wheels she'd be a bike !

[@obviouslytwo4u]

Skilled workers are dying out. Everybody always wants something yesterday there's no more patience which is why we seem to be a throwaway society because no love and effort went into it.

[@keithklassen5320]

Would y'all say that this fellow has a similar regional accent to that of John Oliver?

[@adeleperrott5245]

Great teaching and was really enjoying it but then got distracted by the golliwog pins on your waistcoat!! Seriously dude...Its 2020.

[@raskfel555]

I would be proud to have those pins. All that jam you had to eat save all your tokens, then post them and wait weeks for the delivery of your chosen pin. Today you just click and a day or two its there.

[@ryanalexander3088]

Hadn't noticed as I was actually focusing on him making the hurdle..

[@ryanalexander3088]

Do you ever get tired of being offended at things? 😂

[@mebhi2]

Why keep the camera on his face so much? In order to learn something we kinda need to see him actually doing it! Makes me so angry! You get a big ole thumbs down!

[@barkebaat]

Agreed. The framing is centered on his face & upper body, neglecting to get good shots of the work-holding equipment he's using. Cameraman perhaps used to filming 'talking heads' ?

[@ronmeyer5907]

I agree completely!! See my comments above. Very amateur camera work!! You nailed it that the photographer was used to filming "talking heads"!! BIG THUMBS DOWN👎👎!!
