Hey buddy, that is some seriously nice work, just be sure and wash your hands before dinner. But really, that's impressive.
That's not "just a gate," it's planning, pride of workmanship, an almost architectural feel........ok maybe it is just a gate, but I wanted to give you a boost. But it is a good gate.
Considering the length of that gate, if it were mine, I'd attach some kind of roller wheel to it to help support the weight.

My girlfriend and I collaborated on this 14” clock project; I produced the housing and face, and she used her laser to cut out the circle of the face with tabs, as well as the numbers, and she engraved the morning glories and ivy leaves. Then I filled in the voids with tinted epoxy, and I added a motion sensor - the blue globe below the “6” is the eye part - connected to an LED strip behind the face. When you walk past, the numbers light up. I also steam bent a strip of wood to encircle the housing. The outer ring and face are walnut, and the light-colored ring is alder. It was a fun project, and very much a learning experience with lots of mistakes made… mostly on my part
