How to fit a newel post using ZIPBOLT post fastener. Replace stair newel with slip fit fixing kit.

In this video I show how to fit (or replace) a stair newel post to a wooden floor using the ZIPBOLT slip fit newel post fastener / fixing kit. I show how to cut down an old newel post, how to prepare the floor, how to drill both the post and floor to accept the fixing kit, how to secure the post into place using the fixing kit, and how to make a wood plug to fill the hole created and finish the newel post.

I don’t understand why 70 people have given this the thumbs down. It’s explained in detail and he’s done added research which is forwarded on for nothing. From experience I know you can spend hours searching for stuff like the end cap only to realise it’s not available. He’s saving everyone a lot of time. Great video!

A lot of people knocking here, but as a indentured carpenter (35 yrs plus too) I have found your videos interesting and your wide ranging trade knowledge is commendable, well done Pouse team. Yes halving existing or replacing the whole newel post is better (if possible) but the Zipbolt has it's applications and serves a purpose at the right location. As a muti-trade I am about to embark in my fist loft conversion thinking of taking stage videos too ? Greats job 'Pouse around the HOUSE' Chris 3C.

You've explained this brilliantly, and, on top of that, you respond SO well to the negative comments (which all seem very unnecessary). I['m tackling this very task and have opted for the Zipbolts - your video helps enormously because, although the instructions aren't bad, it helps to actually see it being done. So, keep doing what you do - you do it really well and it's much appreciated...

[peteroddy]

Excellent. The instructions supplied with the bolt were a bit vague but this demo makes fitting perfectly clear

[johnpullen]

Thanks so much! You have saved me a lot of hard work. I didn't know zipbolts existed.

[FionaMcGiffen]

excellent video, made my life so much easier, instructions are so clear and was able to get the Zipbolt as shown, was struggling until I came across this UK video. Thank you so much

[billmitchell]

I discovered these bolts at a mill work shop, they are fantastic and holds the post rock solid

[SuperMan-xyui]

Well done! Pa did a great job on the plug.

I have to thank you for this video. I followed your guidance to the letter and have a perfect new bannister.

[CK-ddeq]

The decorator will love you for putting that carpet down before his work

[jellyandme]

Man, I have no idea what I'd do without your videos!

[woodyscst]

First video of yours I have come across and I am well impressed. Thanks very much!

[KennyEvansUK]

Thanks again, almost any job I do I look on YT and your videos come up.

Nice clear vid, these are great devices to make fast secure connections.
My only (hopefully constructive) comment would be regarding using holesaw before forsnter. All drills rely on centrepoint for support/guidance so piloting increases chance of drift/skidding/out-of-round.

[asmatsulaiman]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great piece of work. Thank you.

[shifty]

Great little tutorial, well done for filming it too!

This is a great way to secure these.

Thumbs up.

[MrMoffett]

Brilliant job. I broke my post falling out of loft and re-enforced it with a load of screws but now i know how to replace it. Cheers

[davepangolin]

Absolutely superb .... just what i needed and in range for my skill level
