This is the first time that I posted a project on here. I like to lurk and see what everyone else has done and learn from all of you. So here it is.
First photos are of the project before. Then some of the building process then finished product.

Some more Photos

Looks great!! I hope the customers were real happy. That's quite the home.

looks fab rick - interesting to see all the working shots - i cant really imagine taking this on and worrying about the maths..! thanks for showing us:)

nice work looks great with the knotty wood is that pine or cedar? and i thought i had a lot of vise grips what i do with mine is weld a large washer on the screw it makes them work so much better you can tighten if needed with out releasing and also loosen them when they are real tight so they dont snap back at you i use a 2 1/2'' dia washer on the 11'' clamp

Looks real nice.

great job on the handrail.
the background shots of the shop are awesome.. looks like a great place to work.

Very nice handrail! All the lines are amazing. Lining that up and making everything even must have been tricky. You are a talented person.

Thanks for all of the great comments.

As in the photo of it laid out on the wall let me see all of my measurements, so I had a live blue print to go off of. I have learned through time take good measurements and lay it out first. That takes some time but it paid off.

Helps that I was working behind a great carpenter. What made the project, all the pieces fit the first time and no adjustment. Not bragging it fit like a glove.

I always admire the ability to build, move in and it all fits! Excellent job

Beautiful work!

The texture and simplicity work well with the pine.

I have a lot of pine in my house and on my porches, so you have certainly got me thinking.


Would you care to elaborate a bit on the way you do the tenons that go through the slanted rails?

Thanks for posting it,

Don
