Making A Yard Gate, With Simple Joints And Minimal Tools

What you'll learn
Making a full size yard gate from start . . to fixing! This type of gate is called a 'Brace and Battened' Gate. It could also be used on a shed as a door!
Everything is covered here, selecting the timber, how to set about planning what you need and assembling, screwing together and hanging the gate..
I only use woodworking hand tools to make this gate, the main reason, as opposed to power tools, is it's safer for beginners.
Hand tools are used for this, but a battery operated drill/screwdriver would be an advantage. If you use power tools, please read the makers instructions.
Requirements
Only basic measuring is needed, no previous experience needed in woodworking, the woodworking tools needed are minimal and easy to use.
Description
I start by giving an overview of myself and my experience. I will also reassure you that although it seems a little daunting, I will go through step by step. You don't need a workshop to make this gate, a garage would be handy, but you could make it outside. The main content of the course are videos, with on screen tips, subtitles, printable resources, and safety tips. There are a minimal amount of tools needed which I have listed on a PDF printable document and if you watch through what I do I can tell you that you won't come up against any problems. I start by showing you how the gate is put together with four simple butt joints. We then look at the location/position and go through the setup of hanging the gate in place. I explain the practicalities of each of the parts, what their purpose is and how they are fixed. I've included everything for making, fitting and fixing this gate, so that when you come to fit it, you will have something ready that will make it easier for the door to be hung. The hanging of the gate gate is covered in a bonus lecture.
Overview
Section 1: Lecture 1 covers measuring and cutting the battens and boards to size.
Lecture 1 Introduction to the theory of 'setting out' and starting to make our first cuts.
Lecture 2 Pythagoras Theorem explained, sounds scary? no it's not!
Lecture 3 Now put the Pythagoras Theorem to work, Watch me square up the gate
Lecture 4 With the boards now squared, we now layout the battens on top
Lecture 5 Marking out and cutting the joints between the battens and the braces
Lecture 6 This is the second half of cutting the joints. Marking and cutting the Battens.
Lecture 7 Gate assembly. All the parts can now come together for fixing with nails, screws
