Finished Gate(almost)

[Sanny]

Hey peeps
After asking all you lot for advice on how much to charge for a gate project, I got the job
http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5602
Took on some advice that was said in the original post
Here is some photos of the job

Start cutting
Had to order new bandsaw blades, so I got them from dragon saws after I saw someone else recomend them on another post.



This is my workshop

Capping the end of the posts

Thanks for posting that. It's good to see projects go from paper to the real thing.

Hi Bawjaws
It took a few days on and off, first day I had to stop because I got rained off, so went out following day and after a few cuts on the bandsaw the blade broke(had no spare ones), so had to wait a few days for new ones to arrive
I'm in Carnoustie
