tip on building balustrade

Jul 11, 2003 1 Replies

When I moved into my house, I had to cut down the balustrade (I think that this is the correct term), in order to get some furniture upstairs (actually there was a piece of furniture stuck there when I cut it down). Now I'm getting ready to sell the house and I need to rebuild the balustrade. I was wondering if anybody had any tips/tricks for determining the angles and lengths of the pieces involved. Info: There are currently holes for dowels of the balusters on the stair treads in question, so I have to be pretty exact on my cuts here.



Thanks, Eric Gurney


I do a fair amount of stair work but you're going to have to be a bit more descriptive in order for me or anyone else to help you with this problem.
