How to Build a Fence Gate (DIY) | Family Handyman

This article tells how to build a durable, good-looking fence, from start to finish, as well as how to build a gate that works perfectly.

The key to our no-sag gate is using panel boards that are angled at 45 degrees. Each functions as a brace to keep the panel from sagging over time. The outer frame on each side also overlaps in opposite ways at each corner to make the gate even more solid.

Here’s the secret to hanging gates successfully. With the gates spaced 1/2 in. apart on the ground, screw two 2×4 or 2×6 “holding” boards to the gates, overhanging the ends several inches. Then carry the assembly over to the opening and rest it on blocks at each end.

Made my own gelli plate last night these are the first prints

Magazine copies. For the gelli plate I made 2 batches of 1.5 cups cold water 3/4 cup glycerin 3/4 cup alcohol and 8 packets of gelatin then microwaved it and stored until it was clear the gelli plate came out really dense and thick. I spend like 25 bucks at Walmart for all the stuff and got like way to much so I can make I bigger plate if I want but I don’t think I ever will.

I used 8oz vegetable glycerin, 8 envelopes of plain gelatin and 8 oz of hot water. Stir in the gelatin slowly and break up all clumps. Pour into a shallow container like a cookie sheet and let it set. If there are problems with the plate it can be remelted and reset.

ETA: my favorite source for tips is YeatesMakes on YouTube. Super creative guy who does a lot of different techniques, including image transfers with charcoal pencil, chalk pastel, and resists.
