Cheers guys. Still smiling about it

You’ll be planning the next one soon…..and I for one can’t wait :thumb2:

Tim. I have the Ardennes one planned so i can use the Precision Snow & Ice product. But i also have a few other ones in the ideas pipeline.

Evening Alan,

I have been sitting in the cheap seats from the beginning to see what you would come up with. I haven't commented as I wouldn't know what to say or give any help. Seeing this now, I have to say you have done a magnificent job on this project. With all the blood, sweat and (maybe) some tears, you've nailed it perfectly Sir!!! Definitely a dio base to be very proud of and well worth the time you spent creating it!!!

Prost
Allen

Alan, I've just found this and I have to say that hedge is just brilliant.

Not just "realistic", but actually a hedge.

Out of context & without the living room door behind it, I reckon you'd never know.

Inspiring stuff.

Nice to see a 5 bar gate

Terrific work Alan.
Like Allen, I've been quietly watching progress from the 'Gods' too.
Top Drawer stuff for sure.

Now, don't let me down and spoil things by hanging the finished gate on the wrong side.... I'm sure you know what I mean

Used a very small razor saw to make the grain/old wood effect then the vinegar 'aging' solution applied to one post. Shall see how this turns out when dry to see if the rest will get it
