Finish work

Nice work, all. Love the Festools too.

Just confused how you do the newel last... I usually have the structural newel done during framing and facing. It appears that you are attaching after finish treads....

Thanks Ross...i'm sure that I don't have to tell you that there are many different ways to do things...and I've tried most of them.

Strength is the main issue and my method is not lacking in that aspect. I will put up photos of the process instead of words to describe how.

Our current development of 75 house lots is nearly completely sold out...I've done every stairway...zero issues with stairs.

I will look forward to seeing that. Always room to learn. And speaking to the many ways of doing things, just look how many different ways there are to clean a fish......

I've probably posted some of these before....I don't always do things the same way myself...like to try different ways..... just to keep it interesting.

On winders I like a sloping skirt board and drop the newel post below the skirt...but sometimes keep them level with verticle drops like the stairs with the panel moulding on the walls.
