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.

Inside newel on winders always present a problem for the handrail. I like what you did on the left side picture for continuous rail code consideration. I am assuming the right side pic would have a 14.5 inch break between upper and lower rails?
I use the picture framing a lot too. Usually in dining rooms. Also dresses up bland long hallways.

If it's gusting like yesterday...I don't chance it.
Here's another...not yesterday......
Yup... 35 mph is all they can handle.

Thanks Ross..I'm not expecting any problems regarding the continuous rail code.....the picture framing is an inexpensive way to add detail and our customers can't get enough... they love it!

These picture framing clamps work great on this large crown moulding.
That's glue squeezing out from the pressure of the clamps....wiped clean right away of course. They leave a very tiny hole to fill after removal.

I have completed the stairs and railings on this job...sorry I couldn't get pictures of the newel fastening process as I promised. Accidentaly destroyed my Samsung Galaxy S6 and had to wait for a replacement.

Started to fabricate four 10' high columns for the great room. Customer wants them to match the newel post.
I'm working back at my shop....gets a little cluttered at times.

Thanks Bigfish....I like to get away from the jobsite and do work like this in my shop. No plumbers, electricians, painters, tile setters....
I'll go back in a few days to install the columns which will cover structural 6x6 posts in the great room.

Thanks Trevier....I am enjoying my work more than ever, even with the early stages of arthritis starting to make it painful.
Nothing I do ever comes out perfect......I always see something that could have been better.

having done houses from 2k sqr ft all the up to 8k sqr ft I've seen alot of trimmed out houses. I always liked doing trim, always inside, heat is one. But it can get crazy with people in the way, especially doing stairs.

I started out my career framing condos on the cape back in the early seventies. Worked outside every winter, and very close to the water, so wind was a big factor too. The guys I worked for were some real hard ass rednecks, we still worked when all the other crews pulled the job when it got too cold for them. |

That would have looked better with half walls with the post built into them. Not a big fan of that design. |

Customer was very happy with how the columns came out.
They asked me to try and match the newel post we used on the stairs.
I like them too...... about 40 hrs. of my labor to build and install the four of them.
I take a lot of pictures now because it is very likely that after next week I will never be in that house again.
