I told the brickie at work that you were the man to watch ,real deal , no fancy sponsors , fancy tools ,just does the job the way it should be done 👍

Hi Del love watching your videos, great to see a true craftsman at work all the best Tony 👍

Keep up the videos as sharing your professional knowledge to us lesser DIYers makes us all better. Your channel is my go to for anything woodwork. Thanks for sharing 👍

First comment?? You are a GREAT GUY! Very hight quality work. Its really enjoyable learing from a trades person that takes pride in his work.

Del, I woke this morning, not feeling at all well. Your enthusiasm and detail made me feel much better... Thanks. When I have railed up a stairway and left "gaps for the decorator" I have been moaned at... but as a decorator myself, I too, look for these things which make the final product stand out from the crowd. My pet hate were the carpenters who would leave nails proud and mitres on architraves not "meeting" with the comment "leave that for the decorator". You can see why I gave new work and site work a body swerve in latter years. Cheers, Bob.

A daily jobbing carpenter at work is as much about making the best compromises to deal with problems as they present themselves as in this video with newel length and levels. The expertise displayed is amazing. Thanks for sharing.... If I was only half as good I'd think I was brilliant👏

Tall carpenter and A & E double bill tonight , lovely job Del , beautiful oak 👌🏼🧱👍🏼

Great work and great videos especially love the way you explain everything in fine detail picked up loads of little tips from your videos , keep up the good work and keep the videos coming

Another really interesting watch T.C. You’re a Top Lad keep the great videos coming 👍👍

Great job Del. Agree 100% about the newel- wouldn’t look that great coming down the wall.😊

Loosing the bottom of the newel looks much better great work

Nice Del as always ☺️ 👌

Very nice work great video very informative wish I had you as a mentor 40yrs ago😃

Thanks TTC,sound advice!

Thanks for explaining about the stud behind the post. I wondered why you were able to drive a screw straight in without plugs etc.

Class stuff Del as usual. Quality craftsmanship 👌

Another brilliant real world carpentry video del! I would probably have ommited the corner newel and mitred the handrail to push that half newel further in. Biscuit in the mitre is genius 👍

Nice job Del. 🚴👍

Nice work as always, I much prefer the look of the half newellyou've done here, nice and clean.

Great video Del lovely work 👏 maybe if the half newel run about a third down the plastered apron and the oak capping run into the half newel 🤔5 bars of juicy 18v 🤣🤣 you crack me up 👍

Lovely job as usual Del! I’d have done the same with that half newel, much better than running it down and having a fussy piece at ceiling level. 👍🏼

Doing stairs is satisfying isn't it. One of the old guys that taught me to do stairs born in the 1920's. He used to cut out the shape of the handrail in the newel about 5mm. Thus when you pull the tenon in you don't see any shoulder. He reckoned it allowed for movement without any joint opening up. A quick template and rout job and boy the joints looked sweet. But like we said the other day time is money these days. You can do a good job. Perfection is a luxury.

Well in Del , I think your in a good place working with a decent team unlike house bashing . I got out of that game 4 years ago and now only do domestic work ... I can take some pride in my work without being chased by a decorator or plasterer . I like the biscuit joint on the mitre , a nice touch 👌

Excellent. It makes sense to have that slight overhang on the half newel as many bulk head walls wouldn’t be as plum as that brand new one. Trying to plum up an arrow straight bit of oak with a plastered wall that’s on the p1ss could be futile. Ace job as ever.

Nice one Del, looking very smart 👍

It's looking spot on del ..does need a bit of thought to get it looking right 👍👍👍

Top job del really neat finish as always

always have great videos. very well executed don't wanna sound OCD but what is the reason for the second newel post on landing could a mitred handrail like the left hand side look better and the half newel and nosing junction could possibly be coped instead of a bevel-off cut on half newel...but overall very neat job well done del

Beautiful job mate you really do make it look easy 👍🏻

Looking good there Del 👍😁🇮🇪☘️👋

I use a biscuit joiner for connecting pieces like that, which I bought about 13 years ago a dewalt which is good enough, the lamello is more stable and has more ajustment features but more expensive. The router bit I use for longer cuts and replace the cookie wit a 3 mm ply strip. And I agree on the detail looks good like that. 👍 that’s enough English writing for today😊

Excellent job mate 👍

Nice work like usual Del. I do the same detail, no apron nowadays. Liking the biscuit in the mitre! 😉. Certainly gives more glue area and helps line it up nice. 👏🏻👏🏻 🤩

"cometh the hour cometh the man " Next time i need to change the battery i'm definitely using that!

Another great video 👍

Site conditions! Got to go with what you’ve got! 👍

Good work Del 👌🏻

lovely job del!! a pleasure to watch 👌💪

masterclass

Great video Dwl !!!!! thanks

Del zeppelins - stairway to heaven 👌

Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge..See your using your Makita router we spoke about yesterday.👍

another neat vid....on this occasion the newel cut onto the floor and not half way down the wall makes a better looking finish.

Good job DEL. New pencil time very soon 😉

Another good video. Enjoy watching all of your work. One thing I would of done a bit different would of been taken slightly more out of the landing newel so the half newel on the wall would of ended up flush with the edge or a tad back rather than past the wall. Not sure if you had restrictions as not to of taken any more out of the newel. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Alot of time when doing small stair wells like that we run the apron and nosing around the stairwell, in this case both sides would have just been cut at the angle of the ceiling. One of the architects I work with likes that detail and I thing it looks sharp also.

Exactly how I do my half Newels depending on the Over hang sometimes put a bit of oak quadrant or architrave down the back of it

Looks well that mate, just wondering could you of done away with the second newel post and doa mitred detail for the handrail like the other side, that way the half newel wouldn't need to overhang the edge of the wall.

👍

Let continue where we left off last night. And than continue with building my bookcase.

Very helpful video! I recently had to send back an engineered oak banister to a local supplier due to poor quality, so am super reluctant to order again elsewhere. Who is the supplier you use, if you don't mind sharing?

I love work. I could watch it all day. 🙂 Random question: do you have tall saw horses?

Plenty of good tips in the video Del👌, although the overhang on the newel maybe needs a quadrant to make it more appealing to some people. Would it have been possible to even get a newel that had been rebated around the corner slightly?

Any ideas how to fit a handrail to a half newel already fitted to a wall and been freshly plastered so can’t replace 🥲 debating glue and countersink screw through the under side maybe

5 bars Del?? Are you sure you still have all your fingers?! 😆

Proper tradesman who cares yes I prefer this detail what I would do

What plug cutter and countersink bits do you use?

Hey do you go as far as leicester mate?

YOU ARE SOME MAN FOR ONE MAN DEL . 👍📐🔨📏✏🔋
