This project provides instructions to create a 42 inch wide cedar wood gate that will add style and function to a fence.
Tongue and groove gate plans.
Reset the height of the table saw blade to 3 8 inch set the fence at 3 4 inch and cut the face of each short side of each board.
Next we ll cut the tongue that will make up this tongue and groove joint.
The gate we are making is made from treated sawn timber planks which are 100mm wide and 25mm thick.
For a gate approx 1m wide ours was actually 900mm you will need 5m.
And the black hardware beautifully contrasts with the red cedar.
Step 2 run a bead of glue inside the all the grooves using the tip of a glue bottle.
Use a 3 4 inch chisel to clear out any material in the groove.
Lay nine pieces of tongue and groove wood face down parallel to each other on a flat surface.
Unfinished pine tongue and groove shiplap siding board 6 pack model 276588 view the ufp edge unfinished tongue groove.
Plus the tongue and groove cedar boards ensure privacy as no one will be able to peek through slats in the gate.
To produce the tongue the spindle block is lifted and then the boards go through face down.
Flip the boards over and repeat on the other face.
In a router you can ignore this as the boards should go through face down.
