Cabin in the Woods 48: Installing Staircase Railings Part 2

In this episode of cabin in the woods, I continue with the installation of the staircase railings. If you missed the first video installing the hand railing on the upper section, go take a look at that too!

Hi Kyle your craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. I’m a longtime fan of your channel and I’ve learned a lot watching you build your post frame buildings. I’m a longtime woodworker, cabinet & furniture making are my real interests. I’ve been using plug cutters for years and have found that tapered plug cutters produce the best finished plug

"I ain't worried about that, are you?" I appreciate your real world attitude of good enough is good enough. My steel construction experience occurred many years ago, but I'll never forget the boss's sign of approval, "I can't see it from my house."

Kyle, Demoranch down in Texas was talking about building a 3000 -5000 sq ft Barn down in San Antonio Texas

Cut a grain wise shim at about 1 degree before you cut the post to length. Then flip the post 180 and cut it again. It gives you perfect shims for leveling the post.

Kyle and Greg do such great work and I would never talk bad about it. But those handrails on the stairs and top floor not lining up are going to cause me to night sleep tonight. 😂😂😂

As an amateur on my first set of stringers cut from box store wavy pressure treated I felt bad I had to use a couple of 1/16" shims. You made me feel better with the post. 👍

I literally laughed out loud when that fell down the stairs and y’all just watched it.

[HenrikJanssonFilipstad]

That is looking great.
Real solid too.

[johnmason]

There is a plug cutter that cuts tapered plugs! Tight every time!

My house is made up of 17 8' wall segments that intersect at around 22.5 degrees. My staircase runs toward the outside wall and has a landing at around 42" above the basement. The final stairs from the landing are at around a 12 degree from 90 angle. So my railings intersect the post at that 12 degree angle. Throw in the angle for the run and rise and you have a compound angle cut. I used 2x4's as templates as there was no way I was sacrificing the rails. I cut my posts through the finished Hickory floors. I used my FEIN oscillating saw to cut the holes and I'm pretty pleased with how the whole staircase came out. The posts are a perfect fit through the floor. because I was centered over a Microlam, the tails of the posts are about 1" thick. I was concerned about how strong they would be, but by the time I put the whole assembly together, they are very sturdy.

Excellent work as usual Kyle. I would have suggested when putting the plugs in the posts at the end to mix a paste of glue and sawdust to fill around them.

[michaelcarroll]

When I have a post that leans in a little out of level I cut my handrail either a little shorter or a little longer depending if I need it to go in or out. That way when I install it it makes the post level.

[mattbenedix]

Awesome job on that. Good work on that grain match-up.

[ryanmcdonald]

Your attention to detail makes me want to strive to better! It’s truly awesome. Also great pod cast. I laughed so hard when you said Greg looked like Justin Bieber. Greg is very lucky to get to learn from a true craftsman

[BlueCollarDIY]

Wow, those stairs (well heck, the whole project really) turned out well! I'm really liking this project.

[broketackle]

Nice clean installation. Love y’all’s technical prowess. Thanks for showing us the way Kyle and Greg. Looking good as always. 💪💪💪

[markkielman]

Thanks for this video!!! I am building a railing for my steps and this helps a lot!!!
