Definitely glue up first, then cut to size when you install....that way if you have to scribe to the floor there's enough material for that. Great job man, keep it up.
What Nathan said.
What a humble human being. Your passion and pride in what you do resonates in all you do. More power to you. Your videos mean so much to those who view them. Thank you. Keep them coming.
Your mellowness is refreshing.
Thanks!

I just bought the same dewalt table saw 2 days ago for my business. It was on clearance sale for 149.99! I didn't even grab a cart. I drug it to the check out. It's a great peice of equipment. Love you're enthusiasm. Its contagious. Keep up the great work.
I new there was something else about you, other than your skilful carpentry the work you do with young kids in the schools and today we learn your a veteran.. Thank You for your service
Dude, mad respect!! Your skills are impeccable sir!! It shows how attentive you are to detail in everything you do man and I take my hat off to you. Great work!!
Yeah, totally impressive what he can do.
Yup
Totally appreciate your depth of knowledge in thinking ahead and the total job, patience and precision...
Never realised you were a Veteran. Big Respect for you my friend.
Great job can't wait to see the finish product
MAGA again
at 72 years of age, you amaze me, I never cease to learn from you. I have been a novice wood worker for over 50 years and look forward to your you tubes.
Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?
VCG Construction this guy
It was nice to see your wife in the video .I like the personable content in your videos that you have. Plus I think you're a really great craftsman one of the few. And that comes from my 40 years of experience as a carpenter. It's nice to see someone that has pride in their work that's why I like watching your videos.
A fellow Vet. thanks for ur service. i’m retired Navy (Seabees) so construction still a passion of mine although an IT guy now. kewl
I’ve been watching your channel for years, and greatly appreciate your work. Then I find out you’re a Vet. SOOOO much awesomeness. Thank you for your service, and your channel brother. Till Valhalla
that's sweet man, I agree w/ Nathan ,I can tell that you take pride in your work , great attitude.
Thank you for your service. I've only been watching you for about a month but watched alot of your videos. Wish I could do even close to what you can.
This would be an awesome design for a lighted box... use a Plexiglas and LED light strip. Tanks for the fine work. Always a pleasure to see a fellow woodworker doing it right!
Had to like it after hearing "it made bootcamp worth it" Haha. Thanks for your service
Great job, great video, love your calm humble and honest presentation style. 👍
Great video... man, you make creating videos look EASY! Make your glue-ups look easy too: get a couple or 4 Merle Band Clamps for your tool collection... can't beat 'em for gluing up newels IMHO.
Because you asked: The biggest challenge is keeping all the panel opening heights identical and rails lined up on all 4 faces of all the posts so not gluing all 4 sides at the same time, like you said, is dodging a bullet the first time so you don't get hit with one if/when a glueup goes bad. Memories of your floor stain debacle are a little too fresh to re-live THAT kind of grief now, right!
There's a lot of 'right ways' to do that glue up but I'll share my thoughts for what they're worth. I'd determine the exact height you want to end up with from the top of the posts going down. Normally a newel would proportion like a raised panel door with a narrower rail at the top and a wider one at the bottom; say 9"on top and 12" on the bottom. That difference helps it look 'balanced' and not top heavy like it does if top and bottom rails are the same dimension. Anyways, say you choose 9" for the top. I'd cut all the top panels to about 9 1/2"~10" or so but make them all identical in height. Then I'd trim the best end of all the corners clean and square and mark them so they're the top of your newels. With that prep work done I'd glue up 2 opposite faces (like you mentioned) lining up the tops of corners and over-length top rails. Cinch 'em down with those Merle band clamps and your glue joints will be invisible! When the first glue up is set just add the panels and rails to the opposite two faces, lining up everything on the tops again, and put 'em in the clamps. The benefit of using this sequence is that all the spacing is indexed off accurately cut ends on top which makes lining everything up on all 4 faces automagic and a lot simpler IMHO than squaring pencil marks around everything on every face of every post.
Once they're all glued up and dry I'd trim the extra 1/2"~1" off the top for a perfectly flush and square top, ready to accept a newel cap. The bottoms of the posts will be completely uneven but one slice with one of your miter saws makes it a moot point. You can always trim them square and 1/2" long or so to allow for scribing to uneven floors, etc so you can set the tops laser level on final installation.
One last thing: you mentioned 1/2 newels at the walls? Since you've got extra corners made I'd do everything the same in gluing those up with the exception of leaving out the raised panels on the back side. This makes the posts come out square under the clamps and you just rip them to size afterwards. Having extra parts makes this possible and saves having to deal with u-shaped 1/2 posts folding up like a taco shell when you go to clamp them.
You've got a first rate newel build going here Richard and it's good you didn't even need to fire up the BS1000 advertised on the t-shirt you're sporting while making your posts!
Ping me if there's something that's not clear in this LOONNNNGGG comment! Best, Matt
Great detail
I tip from a table saw guy, the only way to truly know if your blade is at 90, is to cut to pieces of your choice of material, put them together, and use the angle finder. More often than you think it comes to 87 92, as you know, in finish work, that can be a lot depending on what you're doing. Thumbs up on making the wife help....just don't let them know you can clean! Glue then cut, you don't want to then have to get a planer or sander if something isn't just right.
Former Marine here, love your videos. I have a handyman business and I refer to your finish carpentry thank you for posting these videos.
Bro I don’t even do carpentry but I love smoking a couple bowls and watching your vids. Amazing quality. I can totally see that you love what you do. Keep it up
I dont do carpentry and I know why! Because I got high, cuz I got high, cuz I got high! Ta de da don don don!
Go get a job
🤣😂🤣
Good choice on the saw.
I had a cabinet shop, but im retired now. Some wood workers will glue up first cut to size second. But i always cut individual components first. Advantages are: at final assemble you can measure corner to get square, less waste, easier to cut smaller size wood on miter saw, no tear out on assembled item and faster. After glue-up final sanding and your done. Good luck. Try it both ways.
Richard I'm a big fan of your channel! You are the consummate professional who's always trying new things and looking for better ways to improve his end product...I'm buying a shirt! ~Eddie
If you can its nice to leave it over sized then trim it. Helps because you really don't have to align things as precise. Nice saw and Thanks for the Service! Glad you something back for it!
Charles right under me in comment section is exactly right, always make final cuts for length after your glue up is done and dry, I actually do a lot of my sanding before i make cuts for length. That said, you did a really nice job for your first stab at it.
Nice job with the milling step and very good job describing what you are doing and why you are doing it. I would recommend you stain your pieces before assembly (be careful to not get stain on the areas you will be gluing), then assemble/glue up in stages as you indicated. I would ensure you get one end pretty close to square (requires less trimming later) and let the other end run wild. That way you can cut to final dimension after everything is glued up - and you have verified the final dimension (it looks like your miter saw will have no problem making one finish cut) - as many others have suggested. Good luck with the final fit up - I am sure it will look awesome!
Mad skills son! Always fun watching your videos. Thank you god bless you brother. SAW DUST IS MAN GLITTER.
I Love it.... Man Glitter... too funny.
Your right. Old school carpentry books have loads of good worked out examples.
Always glue up oversized then cut to final dimension
First off, thank you for your service. Second, I really like your building style. I'm diggin on those posts. I can see other ways of applying what you are doing for a few other things. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your vids. Mad respect.👍👍
Nice job, I learn a lot watching your videos, thanks.
Also, Thank you for your service..
Measure and cut to size. Add fill block to inside post to pre secure before adding your work. center panels run thru router to get raised panel to finish the detail. sand and fill any defects before installing will save a lot of time later. I love to see how you work calmly and methodically. A sign of a true craftsman.
I’ve watched your videos for years and have learned a ton about improving my integrity... which is what I am grounded in. Thus, let me give you some minuscule knowledge back. The paint at the end of the board is actually wax, to assist the heat drying process. I am still in a knowledge debt to you. Please continue to teach me.
Absolute Craftsman, your attention to detail is supper impressive, I am so happy to see people work who also love their craft. this is what its all about. Thank you Richard. you are such a good example for anyone but especially for your younger followers.
Yes. Glue. Assemble. Cut (if it fits in your SCMS). It shows that you love your work and aim for reaching excellence. Thanks for making your channel and sharing this part of your life. And thanks for serving Our Country!
I bought the same table saw about 10 years ago and i love it. Plenty of power to do whatever i need and it is very portable. I absolutely love the removable fence and the rack and pinion system.
Richard, I've been using Marc Sommerfelds raised panel bits for years now. It never ceases to amaze me that this old retired pipe fitter/welder can produce doors or in your case newel posts, that are near perfection. I would definitely recommend gluing up the posts longer than needed and chopping them to size on the miter saw, giving you perfectly aligned edges.
Nice little shaper. Great craftsmanship
Woodworker here...First off, that post is amazing. I think it took a finish carpenter to make something with that many routed edges to come together so perfectly. So congrats on that. It's great that you left yourself extra length! I would glue it up in pieces like you said, get it as close as you can with the lengths being even as possible and then cut it to final length once it's all together and dry. Oh, and you know this, but watch the squeeze out on the inside hard to reach areas...what a pain it would be to have to get inside those angles to remove dry glue. It won't take much glue though because your joints are perfect.
Great call, I bought mine a year and a half ago, never had a problem. That thing is accurate as well...
I just bought the same saw... best money that I've spent to date. It is so easy to fold and move too
Good saw for what you need it for. Have the same one for job site work. If ever you get a shop then ditch the direct drive saws except for using them on job sites. But then again I have a shop with all the bells and whistles. Love my Jet Table Saw, Jet jointer/planer, Powermatic Band Saw, and shop built router table. Have some older stuff I have restored, Drill Press, and a 60's 8" jointer/planer. I live in the shop. Nice job on the Newel Post. glue and cut to size.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the great videos. I have learned so much just from watching your videos thanks for posting. Also wanted to say happy Veterans Day thank you for your service
They will look great
Great work as always Richard. Thanks for your service in the Corp.
Either way would work but it may be easier to align all the pieces if you cut to length before the glue up . Nice work Richard, makes me wish I had an open stair case ! I’ve been woodworking for 40 years and I always pick something up in your videos, this one was the way you set your stop on the miter saw, never thought of just hooking the the saw, the only thing I’d do differently is clamp a scrap piece to the table cut through it and hook that with the tape , might get a more precise measurement. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND THANK YOU FOR MY FREEDOM!
please excuse my ignorance I'm an industrial electrician picking up a new trade I am replacing all floors baseboards trim around doors etc in my house so the learning curve is high. I watch your videos every time they come out and you're so impressive mad skills to you man mad respect your awesome but question is I don't understand what these posts are going to be for I've never seen this any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your service
Awesome! See you sent Scott a shirt too, nice one buddy 👍🏻
Understandably you're very green to doing this kind of stuff, so here's some advice. When routing out your rails, you'll only get chip out in the back end, so no need to trim both sides. But by this point you shouldn't be doing any trimming. You should already have your final dimension and be using a block to prevent the chip out. And on your stiles, you don't get any chip out at all because of the way the grain runs. So no need for a block there. And as for the glue up, do it in halves and then bring them together and clamp. Hope this helps.
Glue up and cut to size for sure. Your ends will be square. I’m totally stealing that design it’s great!
Great choice on the saw! I've had mine for 3 years, it's a beast of a saw and still cuts true.
This guy is super-talented!
Nice to watch someone who is proud of their work and strives for perfection. Thank you
I buy primarily from Lowes because of the military discount. Love your videos and approach to woodworking!
I have the older one. So much stronger then new , you can run plywood like it’s nothing. Hope new one works for you.
Thank you for your service
Gorgeous work man! I'm talking Impressive... MOST Impressive.......
that 45 cope MADE it look so awesome
Was there ever any doubt, Richard? You are a stud when it comes to doing this stuff and we knew you’d do it! You can probably hang an 18 wheeler off of it too!😂 I have the same DeWalt corded saw and love it! Great choice! Always love when I get a notification for a new video you posted and I watch them right away. Great job, man!
Yes, you went with my recommendation. I love mine and it packs up and places where u want it... fence system is excellent
I have a sawstop contractor saw in my tiny shed, it is way too big lol but I make it work.
I just got the Hitachi saw on sale from lowes for 300 bucks reg price 500 and I love it. I'm a class c and rbc contractor just starting out and luckily I have a great name and I stay busy. Love your videos that starret miter saw protractor saved me multiple times!
Bosch. Portable table saw. Has had the best rating for last 10 years. I own one. Excellent saw. I have other contractors friend of mine. Had a dewalt. They got a Bosch after using mine.
Couple tips. 1 feather boards will help you get consistent profiles on your router table. 2 sneak up on your profiles take about 3/4 of the material out on your first pass through the router then do a finish pass. 3. There is a narrow stock fence that flips over your table saw fence that will make getting your hand that close to the blade a little more comfortable. Overall great work as always and keep making sawdust.
I like to glue up then cut to length, but I use a home made panel sled for all my cross-cuts. A standard miter gauge isn't long enough to hold a glued panel or newel post perfectly perpendicular to the saw blade. You don't want any wobble in your piece as it goes through the blade after all that nice router work! Not to mention, cross-cutting long pieces can cause the wood to bind in the saw and possibly create kick back. Take a few minutes and make some feather-boards to clamp onto your fence. They'll hold your work tight to the table as you run the wood through. Rockler has nice pre-made ones that fit into the miter-gauge tracks on the table if you want something pre-fabricated.
I’ve done a fair few glue ups making kitchens from raw materials for coach conversions. I would personally glue one side (2 corners and the middle piece) then cut that to length so you can cut on the saw then put the other three in and cut them because you will have a finished size to measure off and mark and cut amazing channel !
That's pretty clever, Richard. Btw, the DeWalt DW745 is the best table saw I have used so far for what I do. I do home remodeling. Corded, light, and powerful.
Great choice on the saw. I love mine.
Job well done! I noticed your working with Poplar for the Rails, but I can't tell what the Stiles are. My suggestion is to paint the Posts, as Poplar does not stain well, and paint results are excellent. Again, this is a suggestion only. As for cutting to final dimensions, I would do the glue up, then final trim. Your attention to detail is excellent, and with this project your adding to your Professional skill set. Keep up the good work!
wow that really came together nicely! definitely glue up and then cut to the finished length.
I've had the same saw many years now have never regretted it
I have the same table saw. Now I need the same planer. I’ve been struggling with a cheap one for to many years. Thanks for posting! I learn something every time!
Thank you for serving in the military, I have great respect for our military and really appreciate what our military does for us. Thank you very much.
Wow, that is just super cool. I’ve had a router table for a year that I’ve never used, but that’s now about to change after watching this.
It’s always nice when a plan comes together.
In terms of the glue up, if you have the tools/capacity to cut to size after glue up, it’s the way to go. Sometimes as hard as you try to get all pieces lined up perfect and in clamps, they can move with the lubrication the glue brings to the joints. Cut to size afterwards, taking care to prevent chip out if those portions of the newel will be exposed and not covered with additional base or cap trim.
Semper Fi Brother....I didn’t know till now. I like the fact that Lowe’s has no cap on the veteran discount
I didn't know about the discount....Lowe's now has my business....an I'm not even a Veteran.
Jody Tackett Home Depot does as well...good up to $500. Any business willing to show their appreciation is OK in my book
Glue for sure. Will keep it together when it expands and contracts. Solid wood wants to move and you won't want it to separate.
I just got the same saw as a gift from my wife! Looking forward to seeing your tips and tricks on how to properly use it!
Just don't cut your fingers, other than that you will good to go.
Beautiful work as always
Sommerfeld router bits are awesome!
I bought the same saw a year and a half ago and love it.
That Dewalt chewed through that maple like butter, nice choice.
Your so humble. Love your work
Very nice. Can't wait for the cap & how you anchor it to the floor.
Perfection is perfected!!!
Next stop, Richard's custom railings!!! The delight is in the detail.
Wow what a job that looks amazing a don’t care what anyone says you definitely need the best tools and machinery you give new Yankee workshop Abraham a run for his money 😂 keep it
Beautiful! Great creativity and all the extra time you are putting into the new home will payoff everyday. It’s such a great feeling to be surrounded by your ideas in motion.
Enjoyed once again.
Great choice on the table saw. I’ve had that one for the last two years and it still works great.
This is great. I have wainscoting like that in my freaking house and had no idea how it was made. When I do a glue project I always cut it down as a last step. Usually it’s to get good looking end grain, which you probably don’t care about here, but it gives tight corners and is neater in general
I'm with Nathan, unless it's 2d, you should glue first, then cut to size. Make sure you score with a blade the cut line before you run it through a table saw, as the blade will be ruing the wrong direction for a finished cut. Make each the sizing cuts in two passes, working you way up to the knife line you have pre placed on the member. Also, I make it sound more complicated than it really is. It really doesn't add any time to the process (other that making the knife scoring) because it allows you to cut faster.
Great tip for us newbies. I would have cut them to size, then try and sand and repair. This was super.
Hey marine the post look great I would glue up Long and trim to size later. And don't forget space balls for the floating panels.for expansion and contraction. Great job good luck with new saw.
If staining some space balls will bleed out their oil...get good quality space balls...
Really looking forward to seeing the installed product. Only thing I might have done differently was put a tarp down to catch most of the saw dust. Your lawn is going to look like the beach front. :pews offers 10% to military which is definitely nice and Home Depot offers preferred parking to Vets. Lowes is a hike for me but sometimes money wins, lol. Wish I has a planer. Project looks awesome so far.
Glue up then trim and consider a simple fixture to make sure precise consistent glue ups are repeatable on all four sides to fix the spacing between your top and bottom rails and be sure to use space balls or some other compression spacers to allow your panels to float, prefinish you panels if you can, the stiles and rail too if that is at all practical. They should look fantastic when you're done.
Use frosted glass for the panels and drop and LED in it to light it up. I did that for a job and it came out wonderful. If you have a chop box big enough to go through everything do the glueup then cut the ends
Sacrificial board for the end grain routing will help with the blow out.
What i use. learned the hardway. 😎
That newel would look amazing with a light built into the center of it with maybe stained glass inserts in the openings.
