I set these new stairs as part of a big remodel I’ve been working on the past several months and today I finished up the balustrade.

The first tread is cut open to accept the starting newel and the newel is notched.

Drilling the holes to accept the dowels on the bottom of the balusters.

Installing the square balusters into the plowed handrail.

All done.

Nice professional job.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I'm impressed. Jealous but, impressed. Very nice.


For the most part, I am a victim of my own decisions.

You must set a mean lean killing machine of a coyote trap! Angle is key and you are an artisan!
