I found a lot of guidance for this project from John Heisz' website, check out the article about his railing here (www.ibuildit.ca...)

Beautiful wood working! Glad to see precision and stain and not just slapping paint on everything like I see everywhere else.
5 years on and your vid is still reaching new people. I'm laying out my own similar plans (we have nearly identical staircases) and this really helped me wrap my head around a couple of points. Thanks.
That job brought me back. I served my apprenticeship in a company that installed staircases I was there 12 years. good job (I also have some of my own little helpers it's great fun when they come to help)
Jody Downes It was a very long process, wanted to be super sure of angles and such before cutting anything....haven't figured out how to stretch wood to fix mistakes yet! Thanks for watching Jody.
Lots of talent around you ,they get it from their Father ,very good work .
Love your little helpers. That was a lot of work. Totally worth it. The railing looks great!
Thanks Chris, totally worth but glad it's behind us although...we did have a good time!
The helper at the 3:00 mark must have been the quality-control guy. Looked like he was performing some kind of rigidity test.
Nice, that really turned out well! Thanks for the mention, much appreciated!
John Heisz Thanks John, thanks for the inspiration as well, really enjoy your work.
Nice build! Just as much work went into the documentation...Great Job with both! Thanks
Tyler that got to be the most detailed video I have ever saw!
Yes slats between the top of the balusters on the rail, is how we do it here in California you did a great job,
You mentioned the angles. There's a simple way to do this you don't even need math you get your newel post plumbed you lay your rail on your stairs you bring your handrail up against the side of your Newell and you cut that angle but it's 36 34 whatever the angle is when you put it on your chop saw it'll tell you that angle. You do the same at the wall describe the line on your rail, you secure your real to your Newell in-wall or wherever it's mounting you bring your balusters to the side from the floor up past the rail describe each balusters and you have your angles no math needed but it deal for whatever it's worth thought I'd share that with you
Watching you makes me think twice to start on my project and that is after I finished my whole basement , you did amaizing job
Great Job! Beautiful work shop. Go Leafs.....
Great job, a lot of angles!!!!!
Nice job, I just finished a similar project. Took down drywall and installed handrails and balusters, removed carpet and installed treads. Now they squeak. Can't wait to try suggestions from your squeaky stair video. Thanks for sharing.
1kenkelly Awesome glad I could help. At least for us the difference is night and day. Hope you have similar results.
Great job. Great video. Very helpful!
Nice work. That makes your wife happy, and inspires your children too. Thanks for the video and I look forward to future ones.
polczym Thanks for watching and the kind comment.
***** That was amazingly awesome bro. all it takes is some TLC and some know
how and you end up with that. that was amazing. wish you were at my
house to help me out (WITH A PRICE OF $COST) keep it up and keep the videos coming YRTM! lol
Excellent work! Not many people would go to the trouble of mounting the end post that way. Plus, I think your kids are really cute! :)
frangitofrangito It was really the only way I could come up with to make it strong enough, and thankfully its rock solid! Thanks for watching.
Good job
Kid added a nice touch.
Tyler, man you have talent. I was very impressed with the way you went about this project!
Bravo ! Cute Kids ! The job on the railing was a great Job also !
Looks like you had the whole family involved in this one! :)

TJ weim Thank you TJ. Glad you liked it.

Thank you David....appreciate the kind comment! Thanks for watching!
well done Tyler! like the fact you show the process is not an overnight sensation and explain at the end it is a large job - patience are required!
Post looks great. That angled top is a nice detail.
C Harley Thanks, the cap was pretty fun to make!
I'm with you - I really like that post cap. Simple, but very distinctive.
Mark Lindsay Thanks Mark, it does add good character!
We loved your video!
Great job! Very well done
Nice work T-dawg... Looks awesome
HI greetings from Norway, saw your video, I `ve been a professional carpenter for thirty years building mostly wooden bespoke houses here in Norway, although I was born and raised in the UK. I just needed to say, Very cool, nice to see a younger generation carpenter still bothering to put in the work, be creative.. and build a SOLID, charming traditional wood newel post and handrail with spindle baluster . "Long live `overkill`on the glue and nails" :-) do it once, do it right. best regards Donk.
Thanks for the kind words man!
The stairs and railing look great! Nice job
Matt Williams Thanks Matt.
Impressive! Really looks like you know what you're doing, great job... and those power tools.
Thanks man....I figure things out, this was a nerve racking project though! I love me some tools! Thanks for watching.

It’s easy when you have lots of helpers offering technical advice
I like your work and workshop. Can you perhaps talk more about your tools and the ones that are the most important to you for the coming up DIY'er who is inspired by your work?
Thanks man! If you would like you are free to email with any questions, diytyler@gmail.com
Cool keep up the good work I sold all my tools years ago so I got to start buy saws drills etc wish my luck
Amazing skills and work sir!
The newel post looks great. You put a lot of work into this entire job, and I applaud your attention to the craft and detail, but I think wrought iron or metal spindles would have been a nicer upgrade, unless this is a vintage home that wouldn't work with the look.
Nice project.
+YodaW19 Thanks!

irosha ki Thanks for watching!
Tyler he's got an excellent Channel I just subscribed give you a thumbs up we definitely need to stand behind each other creators here on TH-cam all right keep up the good work bro
i think i was nurvos for you when you had to cut the oak. nice job
How long did this build take? I'm thinking about replace our 80's railings with something more modern like what you did.
Conrad Designs I don't really remember but quite a while! Mostly it was building up enough courage to cut up the beautiful pieces of expensive oak that we had just enough. Lot of time in sketchup trying to get the angles right so I had a general idea of what I was trying to build and LOTS of measuring. It is SOLID though, will last a long time.
nice neat job......
Hey, Tyler, how would you advise someone on which type of wood to pick? There are so many options. Also, how tall should the balusters be? Is it just a matter of choosing how tall I want them to be? Is there a rule of thumb to use, such as the length between the floor and my hip? Thanks so much!
Great job brutha!
Nathan Safran Thanks man!
Nice iob.. :) .. Best part was your daughter vacuuming the saw dust :) ..
Adam DiMaggio She loves to help out. Thanks for watching!
good job!!!diy,amazing!!
like the work man, being a bench joiner we dont worry about trial and errors, we can just make a new one :-)
+Shane 0 Thanks man!
hey there great job!! whats the hight of your full post and half post? Working on my post right now
Nice! You kick ass...
+Mike Kowalewski Lol! Thanks!
clean and nice. it looks easy in video, but it's days of work.
Lots of work! Thanks for watching.
I love the finished product, but the process looks to be complicated. God bless the nail gun. Did u just buy 4x4 pine?
nice work.
Thanks!
How did you secure the tops of the ballisters into the handrail? Also what type of hardware did you use to secure the handrail to the end post and upper wall?
