Well done. All the info I need for my job this morning in a short video. The detail about the two different lengths of baluster and the chamfers was new to me. Thanks.

Excellent video ! You are a craftsman sir !! Thanx !

Funny how people ask this guy questions or make comments about his tools...don’t they realize this was filmed many years ago? From looks of his clothing, hairstyle, wristwatch, and tools, this looks filmed sometime in the 1980’s.

Thank you! This helped me a lot. Keep posting; we are all very grateful.

Thanks for this, I will be making a staircase and needed all these details...

Was wondering how you got angle on baluster where its meets handrail & nails tapped in? I saw the first mark, then second (on lower end) but no cut marking on the higher end of balluster. My old house steps not perfectly level. Thanks, great video, learned a lot but a carpenter I'm not. Thank God for you guys/girls sharing.

at my job we have to do this in one day. maybe 2 if its a big stair case with many spindles.

Did the baluster come with dowels already precut in them, or did you cut them yourself? If so how did you do that? Thanks

All his tops lined up evenly with the rail and the bottoms lined up with the next tread. That means the mid turned section for the baluster on the leading edged was longer than the mid section of the baluster behind it. See screenshot. How did he get those balusters? Self made? Custom order? Dumb luck? I can find square top balusters but the turned mid point is the same length regardless of baluster length. My rise is 7-1/2" and run is 10".

Very true thing he said about the project duration. So yea, wives and gf please dont rush your man or contractors to finish a staircase in 2 days oke.

Great videos - really simple and practical. Do you offer professional consultation services, or have a website where I may contact you?

What's his name?

For some reason, I read this as "How to install stair ballbusters!" Sounds painful, I thought, and then I re-read it.

This dude must be pissed at pneumatic guns

Two weeks? I'm on month 2.

I am so sure that you will find good way to make it on woodprix.

Go to WoodPrix webpage if you'd like to know how to build it. Good solutions for everyone I think

What is this? A mock up? You're putting in finish trim and the drywall isn't completed? Get rid of that hammer and nail crap. Pneumatics if you want a clean finish.

This time I'll use woodprix instructions to make it by my hand :)
