No, not another American political scandal.

Warped f_torus ("repeat" and "black_hole".)

A little over an hour on my Mac G3 300 (so divide by whatever for a newer
computer), but part of that is because the ground is 2 isosurfaces, also.
IIRC, the gate alone is about 30 minutes.

Cool.  Sorta reminds me of something.  Almost as if the wall holds back the
wastes.

   That's really nice. That gate would be worth thousands manufactured
in iron.

   Hmm... methinks laser-cutting...  ;)

You'll need much stronger braces and hinges..

  Absolutely! The ones used here are no good.

  What's that black bit in the top right-hand corner of the gate?

Man, everyone's a critic! ;-)

A) It's an improvement over having it just float in space, which was what my
first attempt looked like.

B) The "black bit" is the latch extension, an L-shaped rod that goes down to
the catch, and, when rotated, rotates the catch away from the hook on the
other side so that the gate can swing open.

See, I provide lots of details, even if they wouldn't work in real life. . .
..

Now, I'll go home and design some stronger hinges, a better latch, and maybe
even a more realistic way of embedding the hardware into the brick wall
than just having it poke out.

   Of course.  ;)

    Fine by me.

    That's fine by me too. Well, I couldn't see what it was supposed
to do, although now that you've explained it, it's obvious.

    But that would/could work in real life. There's no reason for it
not to work.

 And your image will be just fine with those adjustments. That's a
great gate, seriously. Take heed about what I said in a previous post.
