Stair Work

Absolutely beautiful stair work! Now show us the handrail, as in the famous Loretto Chapel stair. It's one thing to build the stair and quite another to provide a proper handrail.

I don't doubt you can do it, I'd just like to see it.

Thanks Jim. The first set of pics I fabricated the two staircases on the job. They where way too big to get in the house. I was excited thinking about doing the handrail for these two stairs because of all the pitch changes. I thought it would be a real nice challenge. They decided to go with iron railing. I was kind of disappointed. The last pics I did the rail. It was white oak 6210. I ended up doing it in two sections.

Bruce, any pictures looking up from underneath the stairs?

Nice work Bruce. We do that sort of stuff all the time and the handrails are never a problem. The software calculates every part including the handrails. I put it on our machine and it makes it no fuss.
