I just finished building a gate that will stand the test of time and kids
swinging on it.

The posts are 3" steel tubing - two per side - welded together - buried 2'
in concrete.
The street facing fence and gate sections are 1"x6" Cedar slats screwed to a
1" square tubing frame.
The gate has two sections. Section one is only 14" wide and is held
stationary by a cane bolt.
The main gate section is 40" wide and is also 1" square tubing. The hinges
are weld-on with zerks for lubrication.

This gate is so strong you can tell the kids "Get out of the house and go
play ON the gate!"

I would like to make a nice 3 foot wide by 6 foot high solid gate with a
nice
simple look that includes a small window near the top.
I was considering 1x6 x3/4" thick cedar boards vertical on a hidden 3/4"
plywood
core hiding the plywood edges with cedar inserts.
This would give me a nice 2 inch plus thick gate with no cross bridging at
all.

Is the doable, and will it work?
I was going to use homemade copper hardware and glue to holed it together
