Great video! Thanks for sharing. I have never seen a dowel used. Most installers just make the hole larger and place the iron directly in. I can see this being faster way to get the job done!

Nice looking balusters. Good job on explaining the process.

If you cut off the peg from the wooden baluster and place it back into the hole, then you can skip all those other steps and save a lot of time. Hammer the peg down into the hole about 1/4 inch pass the floor and epoxy. Easy peasy !!

Cool. Very clever way to change them over. I would probable have torn the whole thing apart and started over. This saved a ton of work and your sure to make it go back together right.

We saved the owner about $900 by doing it this way. :) Thanks!

Are the balusters still to code? One issue owners may face is that thicker old wood balusters may be to code (ie where I live max of 4" between balusers), but the new thinner iron balusters will now have more than code specifies in terms of spacing between each.

Good instructive video, Artisan Tony, with 'Tripod Barret', in charge of saying, 'Umhum, Umhum." The gal knew what she wanted. The Artisan was able to turn her vision into reality.

It wasn't too bad after we developed a rhythm. I think it was around 4 hours. I know it did not take a whole day. Thanks!

Does anyone know the dowel size and screw lengths he used? Someone asked this 3 years ago and I don't believe the question was answered (or I am missing it.) Thanks for the video!

@ArtisanTony 5 жыл бұрын

It will depend on the baluster size but these were 3/4" You might have to sand them down a bit to fit but a snug fit is good. The screws were 1 1/2" trim screws.

My parents spend a fortune tearing out their wrought iron for wood spindles. Out with the 70's and in to timeless in my opinion. Wrought iron and wood compliment one another, but all wrought iron is way too dated for me. Good video, thumbs up!!!

@LynRuiz 5 жыл бұрын

Craig Arndt that’s funny, I prefer the wrought iron spindles and have the white wood ones. The wrought iron to me is so classic and is perfect for Tuscan styled homes. Tell your parents I’ll trade.

Does anyone know what size dowel he used and the type of screw and length of it? This way will help save tons of time!! Great video

@ArtisanTony 3 жыл бұрын

It's probably a 3/8" dowel but you have to get one for the stair you are working on. One size does not fit all :)

@FerrisBueller-lj9zj 3 жыл бұрын

Would it not be easier to drill a bigger hole instead of using a dowel since the shoe will cover everything?

@larrytaylor1227 3 жыл бұрын

The top knuckle is not on an angle. Can you buy an angled knuckle?

@ArtisanTony 3 жыл бұрын

Yes! :) It would be at a trim supplier or you can order them at places like stairpartsusa.com/products/hollow-baluster-angled-shoe?variant=11041315910&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoJX8BRCZARIsAEWBFML0WX2XbqdsGonmE4Xj_qz13jrs8K8nDhF3WqSZFsxCiVWnBtSX7fYaAsz1EALw_wcB

Is there a way to properly remove them without damaging them?

@ArtisanTony 5 жыл бұрын

Not really. You could cut them neatly at the top but they would be too short to use for the next handrail

@timothytemple4211 3 жыл бұрын

Twist and lift. Hole in top is probably deep enough to allow removal

I would have left the wood ones....

@Friends46488 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Wayne. I've had the white spindles in my townhome since it was built 16 years ago, but now I desire to change to the metal ones because that's all I see in most of the newer built homes, and it just looks nice. It's going to cost me about $1700 per the stair guy. While I desire to change it out for a more modern and sophisticated look, something tells me that it might not be worth it. I'm just curious as to why you said you would have left the wooden ones. Please can you share your reason(s)? I'm not even going to be in this house much longer( 3 years tops, and then it'll be a rental). Thanks!
