This was such a fantastic project to work on. I can't get over how cool the gates look and we had the best time making them. A huge thanks to the guys for coming up from Sydney, spending the week here and being part of an amazing project. :)

Great video, I really enjoyed it and the gate looks beautiful. Wonderful collaboration and great group of craftsman.
now that's a gate ...durable n elegant.. awesome job boys
It was so good to be a part of such an awesome projects and to watch it develop!
I got error messages on Matt's and Corin's Instagram links.
Cheeky! there's more than one missing piece and you're outsourcing finding them! Someone mentioned one on the left gate missing a 12 o'clock, but i see one on the right missing it's lower piece.
Steel detailer from a welding shop here: This project is truly something to behold. Their may be "cheaper" or "easier" ways to make something like this, like with CNC laser or waterjet, but these results really speak for themselves. Beautiful work from everyone involved.
I'm also a steel detailer, glad to meet ya! I do miscellaneous stairs and rails in commercial buildings. wbu?
@@darken3150 Wild. I do pretty much the same stuff for a small company based in southern Ontario, Canada. We do a bit for industrial and residential clients as well.
Thanks very much Adam - glad you liked it! :)
Not to mention that gate will be around for the next millenia. Very rarely do you find master craftsmen artwork with that level of beef and structure.
Definitely wasnt the easy way to do it!
Besides the fact that the gate came out stunning, (no surprise there), the real treat was to see how you all thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. And please make sure you show us when you’ve finished the final touches 😃
Thanks Gro - I can't speak for the other guys (although I reckon they had a great time) but I had the best week ever! :)
Yeah it was an epic week for sure!
A thing of beauty is a joy forever, and you will always be joyful with those beautiful gates in your life. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much Tim! :)
Excellent Build!! Regarding the missing piece at 27:25 - left door, lower section, upper left most star is missing the right part of 12 o'clock.
I was able to find it without your hint. But I had to look hard for it otherwise I probably would have missed it. Lucky for him it is a quick fix.
Right away, I thought it had to be along the curved cut-out, but I gave up. I'll wager it never gets replaced! :o)
@@macswanton9622 There is nothing more permanent than temporary.
I think I found another :P right door, left side, above the wave start there is a little curved piece missing
That was the one that I had spotted too. A small one...
At 27:38 a close up.
Who the hell thumbs down this video? I just don't understand people like that. This is killer work!
Thank you! :)
Nah that was just all the other Sydney blacksmiths suffering from butt hurt. I don’t have to worry, I am the penultimate Sydney blacksmith.
just the people unable to find the missing piece
JEALOUS et small minded people
Well, nobody now…
Beauty is in the detail. Everyone that looks at these gates will go wow, they are stunning. But not everyone will see why. Excellent craftsmanship.
planning to build my first kumiko jig now inspired by your previous builds in wood and then my mind gets blown away by this! OMG!
Glad you like it - you'll love making kumiko! :)
@@PaskMakes I suffer from a condition known as "paralysis by over analyse" and everytime you just "give it a go" encourages me to do the same. I've grown so much in the past year with this attitude with my projects and I can't thank you enough.
I’m not in any way a fabrication expert, but what you produced must be totally unique, the cost in man hours alone would make it extremely expensive. You and the lads did very well. I am however experienced in production. I feel that after all that graft, powder coating might have been a better paint option, personally I would have shelled out the extra and had it galvanized first. Just saying, it will outlive most of us anyway.
This is on another level, I don't understand how 33 people can dislike seeing this kind of craftmanship.
It is simple . 33 people don’t have friends to collaborate with
This is the coolest collaboration project that I've ever seen! I have too many parts that are my favorite: the home-made dies, the attention to details (cold chiselling off the slag), the solutions to problems (setting up large pieces in front of the forge and surrounding them with fire bricks, the many decades of experience all working together, and of course... The final piece!
The gap between the doors are absolutely perfectly symmetrical! I like the other side not welded; it gives the doors added personality and it wasn't needed anyway.
Thank you for posting this video!
It was a great experience for all of us! So much learned. I just need to steel the welding table .
The perfect entrance for the Kumiko Castle down under. Very well done Neil and Co. Thanks for sharing.
There's an idea for a project 'Kumiko castle'! ;)
@@PaskMakes Jinx... :)
I love how you said that even the finished gate has a missing piece, it shows that things can look great without being perfect, but I noticed it actually has TWO missing pieces haha
Shows like this are so important, they give people a good idea of how much work really goes into a beautiful item. Things we have taken for granted for far too long. Great job guys!
I was wondering why you would go trough the trouble of adding mortises and tenants to join the archways instead of simply welding them, but after seeing how they turned out, I am more than convinced it was 100% worth the effort.
What an amazing project!
There is always good quality content in this channel. Regars from Argentina to all of you
Thanks Ivan! :)
One of the best!
Just incredible! I love this gate so much Neil, excellent work! Could not find the missing piece though...ahah
I am responding responsible for it so cannot under it…
Thanks very much Cris - Glad you liked it! :)
Corin's gibberish here, is him trying to explain he was responsible for the missing piece - his job was quality control! :)
What the hell happened here! Not even drunk!
Probably the same mind ness that caused me to miss it on the day! Forgive me!
what an incredible piece of craftsmanship and a wonderful collaboration between all of you. you should all give yourselves a pat on the back for this one!
I think I missed the ball bearing inside the hinge first time I watched this video. That is a really clever solution to make the gates swing easily. Very beautiful archway and gate.
this reminded me so many good memories ! i used to work for an old German blacksmith for about 3years when i was young.
i will always remember the first thing he said to me...you want to work for me kid, it"s a 100% or zero...a 100% or zero !
if it"s not a 100% you restart it until it is ! he thought me to apply myself and make beautiful ornaments of all kinds, all hand made the old fashion way. he was put in jail by the nazis during the second world war because he refused to fight!
he was a good man and thought me some good work ethics. his name was HANS KLEIN, R.I.P. old man you deserve it.
his generation worked harder than the next 3-4 generations put together !
It never ceases to amaze me! Nearly 76,000 people have watched this wonderful work and only 618 comments. That's pitiful!. You guys busted your humps to create a beautiful gate. You deserve a like for every single person who has watched. Great work fellas.
It’s enough to have done it together! Looking forward to the next one already!
The "fly press" is my new favourite dance move.
When they are not bolted down we call it the fly press waltz
Boogy boogy
Just about the most amazing thing I've ever seen fabricated from scratch. Well done you blokes. Incredible.
Best I have been a part of for sure!
A tip I've seen on blacksmithing videos to prevent weld splatter is to 'blacken' the steel with an acetelene torch and cover the steel in soot. The soot stops the weld splatter from sticking to the metal.
If I may recommend. Try digging a shallow hole, and using giant plastic sheets and make a bath to put the gates in(or any larger piece of metal), and then use electroplating to make sure it will never rust. It creates a phenomenal result and it is nearly guaranteed to last more than a lifetime then. The hinges often last much longer too because it's a microscopic bond with the material. So as long as its greased, it will last ages...
That sounds interesting Nathan - I did think about making a tray to dip the gates in paint but this would be another level. :)
It would be easier to form up a shallow box with a plastic sheet liner. The tricky part would be flipping it over. Now that its in place it won’t be happening.
Wow.... building something is one thing...... but making something together with new friends is a very rare treat.... you deserve it Neil.... enjoy!!!!
It was a fantastic week!
The Latch... Beautiful! Absolutely Stunning!
Those are really really nice I imagine to purchase such gates would not be cheap as there is an incredible amount of work in them hope you have many years of enjoyment from them
So cool. That's one of those "common" things that you'll stop an extra few seconds each time you use it just to admire. What a cool piece!
Thanks Tharemy, glad you liked it! :)
plenty of detail to admire.
This is the prettiest gate I've seen in a while!! The level of its beauty is a whole new one!!! I am so happy for you, and I am happy that I got the chance to follow along on your projects for almost full 4 years now! Very good job!!!
Thanks very much Zeljko! :)
What a fantastic collaboration to make a gorgeous gate.
I know you and the crew have talent, but holly poop that is awesome.
The evolution of builders and makers never ceases to amaze.
That gate is going to be there long after we're all gone. A kumiko legacy for the ages!
So great to have been a part of it!
@@corinkayakerabsolutely beautiful!! Why did you not have it powder coated ??
It was such a pleasure to work with you mate!! Cant wait to come back and do another project ;)
Same to you Tim, you're welcome any time and I could probably find more grinding for you! ;)
Even the dogs were ok by the end of it
Wow, very nice. If I have to spend more then 3 minutes trying to find what’s missing, it’s not missing. Beautiful!
WOW, just WOW. You and your mates have outdone yourselves. The gate is monument to hard work, teamwork, craftsmanship, and beauty. Awesome job!
Cheers mate!!
Could not find it, so here I am in the comment zone to find it there. :P
know-how, teamwork, craftsmanship and the right tools!
and when you don't have the tool, make the tool!
What a beautiful set of gates. How wonderful that these friends came together to help you create such a gorgeous addition to your home. What a nice welcome to those entering in. Nicely done, Neil.
Thanks very much Vickie - I was very lucky indeed to have such good mates! :)
Took me a week to make friends with his dogs though…. Got there in the end but they are a tuff crowd!
Watching masters at work and having things come together perfectly is just so satisfying. Thank you for the treat!
Master? Haha I have gone up a few notches
Amazing collaboration Neil, a perfect example of what can happen when varied old school skill sets come together without egos getting in the way.
Simply beautiful!...I hope you guys come together for more projects...
What makes you think my ego was not getting in the way😭🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Rick! Hopefully we'll do something else in the future! :)
@@corinkayaker Well, apart from yourself of course, but you were bearable! ;)
@@corinkayaker LMAO....it couldn't have gotten in the way too much!
Wow. My sister is a welder in the oil fields but on the side she makes wrought iron gates, plant stands, grills etc as well as steel gates and what gave you. I’ll have to show her this. It’s beautiful.
This was a labour of love. This man does woodwork, can do metal work and is one hell of photographer; he is a polymath
yeah definitely one of the best creators I know.
Top work from some top shelf mates. There’s nothing like that feeling of a group of guys, all doing purposeful work, getting in the groove and humming along to a really great goal. Cheers from California
Absolutely Jay - Thank you! :)
Holy ....! Thought you were too thorough to be true but now you're attracting other crazy thorough ppl too! You're awesome Neil! your property is gonna be worth millions 😁
Pask is the real deal for sure!
Absolutely fantastic! What a great week you must have had. And to have the gates as a permanent reminder. Awesome!
Thanks Rob - it was the best week ever! :)
Agreed! What an epic build!
Fantastic project. Good to see you all working together.
We have just watched a master class in Kumiko made of steel and a gate that looks absolutely beautiful indeed. Top job all of you and a fabulous video
Thanks very much Ian - glad you enjoyed it! :)
So... whatever the "obvious" missing piece is, I can't find it after staring at the gates for about 5 minutes. So... good job hiding it, or if this was just a ploy to get us to stop the video and take a longer look at you and the guys' hard work, good on ya. Looks amazing!
It really does have a piece missing and that just shows how easy it was to miss one! Glad you likes it! :)
@@PaskMakes I found it, (just that little 1.5" vertical) but will leave it a mystery for others! Amazing piece of work that seems more like a piece of art than just a functioning gate!!!
@@PaskMakes is it on the left gate just below the curve on the left?
@@chriskoran836 he did say the missing piece is a « fairly obvious one » though…
Yeah I did not do it deliberately that’s for sure! I stared at them for ages making sure I got them all… still failed
Highly miticulous work. The way u took care of every single detail is remarkable. Time well spent and much enjoyed here. Thumbs up.
Always have Always will think of this as a woodworking channel, but this may be my favorite project.
That's awesome Jonathan, that you enjoyed it even though it's metalwork! :)
I dont even have words for how beautiful this is!
I can only agree!
Well done Gentlemen! Those gates are things of craftsmanship and beauty. Thanks for the video and all your efforts!
No worries - glad you enjoyed it! :)
Who would have thought that a few fella's banging a few bits of iron could be so entertaining and the outcome so appealing. What a gift to have imagination. I've got to go, I want to watch it again. Thanks
Super like Neil! When I saw the wooden kumiko at first I was in awe, when I realised it would all be done in metal my jaw dropped and never closed. Beautiful piece, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Theo! :)
When he first revealed his plan to us I was pretty stoked. It was a great project!
Love all of these fellas! Great looking project, I bet the banter was top notch too!
We really did have a great week! :)
@@PaskMakes collaborations like this make our Australian blacksmith/craftsperson community feel very tightknit. I’m honoured to be a part of a community with such great people onboard! :)) glad you all enjoyed your time
Good to see you hear Tim!
@@corinkayaker the Internet really does make the world smaller! Top work on the gate mate
This really is on a different level! Could not look away for one second.
Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! :)
Simply fantastic. And of course you’ll get a thrill every time you use them or even look at them. Lucky to have such collaborators/friends. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you - I was very lucky indeed! :)
they are a top bunch of dudes. glad you got together and made something so nice!
Thanks very much Owen - we had the best week! :)
Great job and we can see the details incorporated in this gate. That gate would be a fortune to pay to fabricate and install!
As it was it was the result of a productive week with mates. What could be better
Plot twist: There is no missing piece, it's just a ruse to get us to pause and stare at this beautiful structure for 5 minutes..
..well played sir, well played..
Sadly there are more than one... As it was my responsibility to find them during the build I take full ownership however truthfully I still cannot spot them!
Great collaboration and a wonderful,piece of art
The tooling of the fly press is really cool!
She's a beaut! Great work, gentlemen.
Really appreciate the comment! Thanks!
They are a delight and something that will give you pleasure every time you see them, not only in the fact they are beautiful but in the great time you all had making them. I'll bet there was some good banter! Thanks for all the effort to film the process, Now I know why steel prices shot up!
I was blown away!!!! Filming is definitely way more work than you realise!!!!!
I once added twisted elements to a gate and finished the whole gate. The trainee that worked on it before did not care about angles, I had to manage it to weld with tension on it and then cut the feet to make it level.
I've watched a fair few videos on this platform in my time and can say that this is up there as one of the most impressive; fantastic job and end result, thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
You look little next to those guys! 😁 Turned out amazing! Never thought about using the fly press for blacksmithing - cool!
I'm not the tallest Christopher, especially next to these guys! :)
You are very skilled! What was/is your day job? I am thinking now it might be CZcams but before you were famous?
I especially love the peened tenons. Keep these amazing projects coming, and I cannot even imagine how amazing your house and yard is going to look in 10 years.
Thanks very much David! :)
A beautiful and perfect handiwork of experienced and skilled craftsmen
Simply beautiful and I don't mean simply made
Wow! A CZcams supergroup! This'll be ace!
Pask: "We're in winter here, so the hedge is slowing down..."
also Pask: walking around a green yard in shorts and t-shirt
we in the midwest US are envious of your "winter" LOL! Great work!
Winter is the best time of year here! :)
What passes for winter in Queensland is having to put on a jumper and long pants and maybe even a jacket and beanie.
This might be my favorite project of yours yet 👍👍😎👍👍
I’m a woodworker and have never worked with metal. But this makes me want to try some metal work, albeit, something very tame to start with. Fantastic gate, and what a treat to work with a team of craftsmen. Thanks Neil.
Wood, metal, anything. Be a maker don’t peg yourself into any one box!
Neil, was great to see the video of the creation. It is truly sensational. Was great to meet you, Matt, Corin and Tim at the hammer in!
Great to meet you too!
Glad you enjoyed it Chris! Was great to meet you too! :)
Beautiful craftmanship! Gate is very nice.
I saw this video on my front page for two weeks straight, but never saw a reason to watch it, until today as I was bored from my recommended videos. This is an amazing build, and I am glad that I watched it after all. Never seen this channel before, but I will surely come back! Keep up the great content.
Thanks mate! Pasks channel is fairly epic by any standard.
I really enjoyed this one in particular as I work both as a woodworker as much as a welder. Watching you work mostly with wood, I wasn't ready for such a project.
Thanks Leslie - I like to work with both wood and metal but not everyone enjoys my metalworking videos. :)
It is such a shame that viewers leave this channel because of metalwork videos. I love working wood and metal and anything really. Why limit yourself?
I can't put into words what I'd like say, so I'll just say *this is truly a stunning piece.*
Thanks very much Dan! :)
Interesting group, I'll be waiting for more projects like this one
Wow, those are totally mad skills being shown. Those gates truly are amazing. Soooooo jealous.
It was a great week with mates. What more could you want!
Absolutely loved when Matt yelled "dat is SAAXY". Loved the chemistry between you guys... Amazing video and an even better product
I think he was pretty happy with it! ;)
It was an honour to work with such a great group!
Beautiful work. You could easily make a 1.5 - 2 hour film from this. I’d definitely watch it!
I would too, it would not be PG if he included the banter though!
That is Brilliant! Great Collaboration guys!
Thanks Scott
Tui là fan lớn của Scott turner đây 😊
I LOVE watching people who know what they are doing do the things they do. What a blast you guys must have had! It shows in the finished piece. Just one more reason this is one of the very FEW channels I subscribe to. If I ever go to Australia, I just have to look for the killer carport and the wonderful kumiko gateway to know where I am.
If weatherproofed properly. This would be a lifetime gate. Beautiful craftsmanship
Red and White Plum Blossoms It's a wonderful representation of nature.
It’s always a pleasure to be a part of creating something with you
Absolutely mate and the same too you! What shall we build next! oh and btw thanks again for your help you're a legend! :)
You are a legend mate! Thanks for everything you did during the week and at your hammer in!
Great watch and fantastic work.
Missing section is from what was cut out for the curve on the right hand side gate.
It's in the lower left corner of the top section.
Where the top curve rail joins the vertical frame on the left hand side of it
What an amazing job! It’s fantastic. Your work and skills are inspiring. Very comforting to see Aussie skills producing INCREDIBLE work. You guys should be bloody proud of yourselves…..
I have been following your channel since 2018… and have never been disappointed with your projects… 👏
Great teamwork, it came out great! I can't spot the missing piece, which means it's not that obvious (but it probably will be when pointed out) so don't worry about it haha
I'm not into metal work but I really enjoyed this video. The arch and gates look fantastic, great job guys..
I'm following your channel some months now and it seems like everything you touch turns into a masterpiece. But these gates are another level somewhere in the upper hemisphere. Love it, love your work and I'm so glad you share it. Keep on doing what you do, Pask, Matt, Tim and Corin!
Thanks very much Patrick! :)
Thanks mate! It was a pleasure to be a part of this!
That has to be one of the most amazing builds I have seen on all of you tube wow just wow !
Thanks very much Stacy - glad you like it! :)
One of the best I have ever been a part of!
Whst a SUPERB piece of work, by all you guys !
Now, ...... where's my Magnifying glass ?
That's worth 3 thumbs up !
Stay safe you guys !
Stu.
Thanks mate! If I had a magnifying glass maybe I would not have missed it!
A missed opportunity - the video title should have been, “Mates and Gates” 😀
I was thinking Mastergates
Save that for “alone time”
@@markwatts7634 thats bill gates sexually harassing women in his company
Excellent work, good collaboration!
Thanks for showing me a fly press is more than just punching holes.
Sooo much more!
I am thrilled that more and more people can work together now... great project, great result... and again thank you for helping us all get through a rough year with your wonderful projects
Hey, remember when you first got that fly press, and you said you didn't know what all it was going to be able to do for you, but you sure were looking forward to finding out? Well, here we are.
Absolutely Tim and I reckon I'm only scratching the surface! :)
It was good to be able to leave him with a bunch more tooling also!
