Sometimes the residence itself makes for better viewing than what we can see of the gates. Here we have wood garden gates style #89-4 flanking the architecture on the left and right accesses. A quintessential Georgian Federalist home, dating one assumes to the early 1800’s or possibly late 1700’w.

Look, I just want to build a wood gate. How hard can it be?

Clicking on the below image will link you to a full YouTube video of Ben building a typical double gates #89

If you’re working solo, with a sizable radius, create a radius stick of ¼”T x 2″W. Kerf each end. With a length of string, tie a knot in one end and slip it through the kerf. Do the same with the other end. Secure the center of the radius stick to the stock, or gate. At the center, pull the string away from the radius stick to the desired arch, thus creating a symmetrical arc.

There is no substitute for the hand-plane.  Nor an extensive inventory of hand-planes designed for specific applications.
