Lovely work BradYep but once you start you must finish it off, or it's hard to get the enthusiasm to carry on.
I done copper two years ago.
I must do titanium, but forming it is a pain in the ass. Especially as i've only got grade 5 sheet.

I remember that gate posts should be installed "on the batter" (leaning back), so they become vertical when the gate is hung.I hung the arched braced gate ,featured on these pages a day or two ago.
I’d welded it 15mm out of square ,to allow for sag,it hangs perfect and level
Not on purpose!I remember that gate posts should be installed "on the batter" (leaning back), so they become vertical when the gate is hung.
Anybody actually do this?

Up to a point, Lord Cropper... wouldn't that then only be true in one position, either open or closed?
In the other position, everything would only be worse and would get even worse over time ...
Up to a point, Lord Cropper
Simply put in a big enough concrete foundation three time the weight of the gate & post it hangs off , putting the post in half of the length below the ground has stood the test of time for many many yearsUp to a point, Lord Cropper
Gates closed: upright post.
Gates open: if I remember my maths O'Level, half the weight will be in the open position, half in the closed, so post not quite upright, and some lean towards the open position. I expect I'm wrong
I'm sure it's a Mig Welding Forum rule.It's a reference to a character in Evelyn Waugh's novel Scoop. Lord Copper owns The Daily Beast and his Foreign Editor, Salter, will never contradict him, and will answer 'Up to a point'. An excellent book, my favourite of Waugh's. 'Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole' is another phrase from the book.
