[TheForge] gate barrings

[Michael Wolfe]

I feel they will have a dirt problem if they are on
the end of the post.
I made a split bronze barring thing that fit around
the  gate back,   but I had to turn a round section
one foot up and one foot down on the square post..

I use the word Post meaning the back vertical part of
the gate...


If it was me, I would just order up some barrel hinges
and weld them on and grease them up and forget about
them for a long long while...
