July 8, 200718 yr Thought I'd show off a couple railings we did a while back. The first pic is a railing we did for our church. The second was a commission we received.
July 8, 200718 yr Grizz, Your work products look heavenly! Very Nice work. Thanks for the photos. Be safe! Old Rusty Ted
July 9, 200718 yr That Church railing is beautiful simplicity itself; unfortunately it would never pass code here so I'll have to keep the picture rather than making my own version of it to look at...

July 9, 200718 yr Yes, it's more of an entrapment rule than a drop rule. (The dreaded 4" rule) I had to fight the council on my old house when I restored the porch to what it originally looked like, the original railing was just a 6" round between the wooden columns. They kept saying that I required a underfilling as the drop off of the porch was too high. Since I needed to regrade the yard I asked what height was the cut off point and I'd fix the drop off and leave the original look to the house---the inspector couldn't tell me. I ignored him after than until we moved. I tried digging into the code but I never found a value myself. The next owner replaced the restored wooden columns and railing with plastic ones, the slate roof with composition, the wooden windows with plastic ones. The 100 year old house looks lovely; but not like it used to. Sort of like seeing an elderly relative all gussied up in their coffin...
July 10, 200718 yr Nice railing grizz. I don't mind building stuf like that, I just hate installs. But then I am not very good at installs.
