The production of Les Mis that I'm working on calls for an 6' x 8' iron gate. We looked around online for some inspiration and eventually came across this bad boy

I designed our gate based on that example, only with fewer bars (so we could see the faces of people on the other side).

Yesterday I cut-out and assembled it in about 3 hours.

I did all the dado-ing on the bot... next time I'll probably just do it on the arm-saw. I'm still learning what's best done by hand and what's best done on the bot.

The final product came out really nicely. It's cut out of 3/4" Birch Plywood. I'm going to be sad to see it painted black

Very nice thanks for sharing. I like how you made the gate work for the situation at hand.
