 |
| this chicken proof gate I made keeps the chickens out of the backyard but still allows them to roam in and out of the cage. No more chicken poop everywhere. |
 |
| I hammer drilled ½" holes and epoxied galvanized anchor bolts into the concrete to hold the post bases |
 |
| 4x4 side sections getting morticed together to hold lattice panels |
 |
| Home made lattice using ¼" thick strips of redwood. Stapled and glued. No knots. |
 |
| Gate being assembled with no fasteners just through mortices and wood glue. |
 |
| close-up of a through tongue and mortice |
 |
| bottom panel was tongue and grooved on my shaper before assembly |
 |
| This was scrap metal I found at a garage sale. I stretched it diagonally to fit the gate |
 |
| more joinery close-ups |
 |
| the day before I bought a morticing machine |
 |
| ready to glue everything up |
 |
| I round the corners of my panel to match the rabbit. this way I dont expose my mortice to the elements by squaring the rabbited channel instead + its faster and easier |

Solano Playlot Bulletin Board 3D rendering 2014
|
 |
| Redwood for this community project provided by the Lumber Baron in Albany. Thanks Max. |
 |
| Making 100+ Lath from nominal 1X goes faster with precisely measured stop blocks clamped to the fence. That way you only need to pull a tape measure once. |
 |
| 75 shouldered 1X lath's ready for pilot holes. |
 |
| My Delta 10" chop saw was used to gang-cut the Lath to minimize tear-out |
 |
| This is the Bulletin Boards rain gutter. Bruce Sturgeon (CROWN Heating*Sheet Metal, INC.) will fold-up the rain gutter. |
 |
| Details of Angle Bracket for the roof |
 |
| ¼" Steel from Oakland pre-cut to 49.5°. These were fun holes to drill. |
 |
| Angle Brackets all drilled and MIG welded together to form 99°. Ready to be powder coated. |
 |
| All of a sudden Solano Playlot in Richmond Ca |
 |
| The four main framing timbers being joined with metal brackets to form the roof over hang |
 |
| My neighbor Dennis asked if I was building a boat dry dock once I had the frame together for mock up |
 |
| My muscle memory was dialed-in so well I was cutting shoulders off the end if these 1x ribs eyes closed. Safety glasses still on of course |
 |
| The final piece arrived exactly as dimensioned and fit perfectly |
