How to build a Railing for a Staircase 

5 years on and your vid is still reaching new people. I'm laying out my own similar plans (we have nearly identical staircases) and this really helped me wrap my head around a couple of points. Thanks.

Beautiful wood working! Glad to see precision and stain and not just slapping paint on everything like I see everywhere else.

That job brought me back. I served my apprenticeship in a company that installed staircases I was there 12 years. good job (I also have some of my own little helpers it's great fun when they come to help)

Love your little helpers. That was a lot of work. Totally worth it. The railing looks great!

Watching you makes me think twice to start on my project and that is after I finished my whole basement , you did amaizing job

Nice, that really turned out well! Thanks for the mention, much appreciated!

Yes slats between the top of the balusters on the rail, is how we do it here in California you did a great job, You mentioned the angles. There's a simple way to do this you don't even need math you get your newel post plumbed you lay your rail on your stairs you bring your handrail up against the side of your Newell and you cut that angle but it's 36 34 whatever the angle is when you put it on your chop saw it'll tell you that angle. You do the same at the wall describe the line on your rail, you secure your real to your Newell in-wall or wherever it's mounting you bring your balusters to the side from the floor up past the rail describe each balusters and you have your angles no math needed but it deal for whatever it's worth thought I'd share that with you

Lots of talent around you ,they get it from their Father ,very good work .

Tyler that got to be the most detailed video I have ever saw!

Great job, a lot of angles!!!!!

Nice build! Just as much work went into the documentation...Great Job with both! Thanks

Nice job, I just finished a similar project. Took down drywall and installed handrails and balusters, removed carpet and installed treads. Now they squeak. Can't wait to try suggestions from your squeaky stair video. Thanks for sharing.

Great Job! Beautiful work shop. Go Leafs.....

Wow, mind blown, amazing. Don't try this at home kids, this man is what they call a professional.

Tyler, man you have talent. I was very impressed with the way you went about this project!

nice job , I like your little helpers

It’s easy when you have lots of helpers offering technical advice

Looks like you had the whole family involved in this one! :)

Very good, Thanks

We loved your video!

Good job Kid added a nice touch.

Great video. Very informative

Amazing skills and work sir!

great job!

Great doweling jig!

I just bought out first home and I really love what you did adding the railing look real good

Nicely done !

Great job! Very well done

The stairs and railing look great! Nice job

The newel post looks great. You put a lot of work into this entire job, and I applaud your attention to the craft and detail, but I think wrought iron or metal spindles would have been a nicer upgrade, unless this is a vintage home that wouldn't work with the look.

Great job. Great video. Very helpful!

Excellent work! Not many people would go to the trouble of mounting the end post that way. Plus, I think your kids are really cute! :)

Honest and funny😂

Tanks Tyler!! Looks great!

Great job, gives me ideas. My son has a square post and wanted me to fit a new post.

Impressive! Really looks like you know what you're doing, great job... and those power tools.

Great job, turned out beautiful

Post looks great. That angled top is a nice detail.

Wow what great workmanship!

Nice work T-dawg... Looks awesome

Nice project.

Quality job.

great job you are a true craftsman

Nice work. That makes your wife happy, and inspires your children too. Thanks for the video and I look forward to future ones.

Absolutely Beautiful work!!!

HI greetings from Norway, saw your video, I `ve been a professional carpenter for thirty years building mostly wooden bespoke houses here in Norway, although I was born and raised in the UK. I just needed to say, Very cool, nice to see a younger generation carpenter still bothering to put in the work, be creative.. and build a SOLID, charming traditional wood newel post and handrail with spindle baluster . "Long live `overkill`on the glue and nails" :-) do it once, do it right. best regards Donk.

Dude that came out awesome! Great upgrade

Nice job. Simple but effective.

looks nice, I like the rag under the jig saw, nice idea says a lot of painters tape.

turned out very nice!

Well done Tyler, I really enjoyed seeing this one. Stair rails are very difficult. Again, Well Done!

Bravo ! Cute Kids ! The job on the railing was a great Job also !

Cool keep up the good work I sold all my tools years ago so I got to start buy saws drills etc wish my luck

Mahalo for posting your project, it gave me some good ideas. I appreciate your effort to share your work.

You are amazing! Beautiful work!

Absolutely amazing!

Very cool.

loved it .Great Job!

i think i was nurvos for you when you had to cut the oak. nice job

absolutely awesome. .. Beautiful

I love the finished product, but the process looks to be complicated. God bless the nail gun. Did u just buy 4x4 pine?

Looks great!!

I like your work and workshop. Can you perhaps talk more about your tools and the ones that are the most important to you for the coming up DIY'er who is inspired by your work?

Really great.

great job!!!!!!

You rock man.

well done Tyler! like the fact you show the process is not an overnight sensation and explain at the end it is a large job - patience are required!

really nice you did a good job .I enjoy your videos thank you

like the work man, being a bench joiner we dont worry about trial and errors, we can just make a new one :-)

Really really cool Tyler it turned out great i love it please keep making good content because i love your channel

Tyler, Nice job quite well done. John in Pensacola

Nice! You kick ass...

Great job brutha!

How did you secure the tops of the ballisters into the handrail? Also what type of hardware did you use to secure the handrail to the end post and upper wall?

nice job

Very good! well done and informative, thanks...

Hey, Tyler, how would you advise someone on which type of wood to pick? There are so many options. Also, how tall should the balusters be? Is it just a matter of choosing how tall I want them to be? Is there a rule of thumb to use, such as the length between the floor and my hip? Thanks so much!

Tyler he's got an excellent Channel I just subscribed give you a thumbs up we definitely need to stand behind each other creators here on RU-vid all right keep up the good work bro

nice work.

good job!!!diy,amazing!!

clean and nice. it looks easy in video, but it's days of work.

I see you clad the pine with plywood, if it was me i would laminate a bunch of plywood and clad that with pine or maple, any thoughts on if that is better or worse?

Nice iob.. :) .. Best part was your daughter vacuuming the saw dust :) ..
