The Borgs and LeeValley sell a "gate kit". The kit consists of 4 reinforced
angle brackets sized to accept 2x4's for the gate framing. 2 of the
brackets have door hinges attached. This kit typically sells for $30. I
have probably built 5 or 6 gates with this gate kit and the gates are still
quite sturdy and NO SAG. The gat goes together twice as fast as those with
pickets, z-bracing on the back a bunch of nuts and bolts.

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
