QUICK TIP: Drill your holes before you cut the angle... that way they'll definitely be 90 degrees to the brick when fixed! Quality video as usual. 👍

@jamesfukndee19 күн бұрын
But if uou drill before you cut the wood, it would go in at an angle, the idea is to drill after cut so it's straight to the brick
@projectgaming336418 күн бұрын
@jamesfukndee no mate it will mean it goes into the brickwork at 90* and have a proper fixing. Best to drill then cut.

Everything about this procedure is spot on and very well explained. I've just used a similar method to fix a 100mm square gate post. For those with particularly brittle bricks or London's with the large frog, I'd suggest using 10mm allthread and chemical fixing adhesive such as Kem II. Recessing the timber holes is done in the same way, allowing for a nut and washer. Remember to check your thread lengths so they don't fall short to apply the nut and washer. For those keen on a fine finish can always plug the holes once complete.

Great suggestions...loved the string to line up the screws. Loved the intro wherein you shaved off some of the 4 by 4. I would not have lowered the bottom 2 by 4 to ground level or below due to rain and in Canada snow. Animals will just dig under. Wind will eventually move the fence possibly as I left mine open in between a little....sort of...a 80 year old neighbour from Ukraine wandered over and took over. He could not speak English so the screws did not line up...and there were some things that he did that I would not...but my Lancaster mother taught me to respect age...hmmm? I loved the drawings. I guess when I make the gate, I will not trim off the 4x4 but will move the opposite side on the 90 degree angle and hope it works as I try to do an l shape to a metal fence...right? Well, as long as it holds to the grandchild is old enough to walk into the front...a good 2 years. But, thanks for sharing...quite professional. Oh,....thanks for the idea of countersinking the bolt. I am a super and the men that, long ago, did a fence and gate...did NOT sink the screws which seem to have caused a gap in the apt where I am living so the gate is tight due to the screws

The mechanical advantage of a screw thread driven by a 12” ratchet over a 6ft length of 4” pine is huge, especially with high tensile bolts. It would be easy to obtain a 2” deflection over a 6ft length. I’ve tried to use the stuff for forming jigs, and it’s useless. Only oak, ash or 6” pine was good enough. Nice work.

@alexanderguesthistorical7842 Жыл бұрын
An alternative way to create the angle (which might be a bit easier than sawing the angle) is simply to work out where the gap is 1/2" wide between the wall and the post. Then you can buy a piece of timber 1/2" square and screw it on to the side of the post, at the point where the gap is 1/2". Different sizes will also work at different points That will create the angle for you without the cutting. I used one of those concrete screws for the first time on a kitchen fitting job a few days ago. Normally I would drill a pilot holes for pozidrive woodscrews in the timber post, put the screws in the post, so the screws were just projecting out the other side of the post. Then I would offer up the post to the wall and tap the screwheads to get a witness mark on the wall (mark with a pen to make clearer). Then drill holes with a masonry bit and put in rawplugs. Once I've done all that I can offer up the post again and put the screws in. Works a treat, and most times produces a really good fixing, but it is a faff. Those concrete screws just go straight through the lot! no irritating rawplugs that are too short so you have to drill deep and try to put two in, only to have to cut the second one in half because it won't go in the whole way. What a palarva! So nice one for showing us all the new fitting system!
