    Angled Stairs, (Pics)

    Sometimes building stairs and rails on an angled staircase like the one here can be more difficult than curved stairs. Compound angles on stairs and rails are difficult to handle.
    Thanks for taking a look.

    Boy, that job certainly must have involved a lot of complicated measuerments. Well calculated and well built, Richard!

    Richard,

    What beautiful work! It is always a pleasure to see the posts of your staircases. How do you calculate and then cut all those compound angles precisely?

    Yet another great job, Richard. I've a stupid similar to Lloyd's: Do you pre-calculate the various angles (or curves, for a curved rail) and get all mathematical on it, or do you use more of a cut-to-fit approach? Do you take the scientific approach, or are you more like Vinnie at Orange County Choppers making an exhaust by holding a piece of scrap pipe against the bike, making a couple marks with a Sharpie, taking it to the pipe bender, then ending up with a sculptured exhaust pipe?

    However you're doing it, it's the right way. Looks great!

    How do you do THAT!!!??? And my kids always told me that once they got out of school they would no longer use math. Bet there isn't much math involved in stair building > NICE work!!

    Well, the short answer is thst I measure the angle of the staircase and do all the math to cut the angles. I know I keep saying this, but I've been doing this so long my brain is preset to alot of it.
    Thanks again for the nice comments, it's appreciated.

    That would absolutely drive me to the funny farm. Gonna be a short trip, I know for sure. I could probably do that if I could measure from something to something else but I ain't got a clue how to start doing a set of stair rails like that, much less some of your curvy spinny ones that I have seen.

    Great job, at least it looks good but what do I know????? Very little about stair railing.
    Just keep working on it. It'll give up and do right after a while.
