Not knowing how I can measure the length of the handrail going down the stairs, I realized I needed to set the railing in place so I could physically mark the end points. To do this, I first needed to figure out the height at which the handrail will attach to the metal post at the bottom of the stairs. I jump into sketchup and start modeling. Once I have the handrail cut and welded i place, I move on to welding in the rest of the pieces of the railing. Next, I design and cut some brackets on the CNC table for the cable hardware to mount to and then my buddy Pat and I get to work running the cables. Lastly, I hang some tin up on the wall underneath the stairs to finish off this project in time for my sister's wedding in only a only a couple weeks time.
