Making Lock Gates

[Rorschach]

You might enjoy this video, a lot of hand work goes into a Lock Gate and it's nice to see them made by an individual rather than a production line.

Thanks for that Rorschach, one of the best uk holidays I’ve had was captain of a narrow boat. The first mate has shifted a few of those gates as well. Hopefully there will be a follow on to show how they are fitted.
