If you cut off the peg from the wooden baluster and place it back into the hole, then you can skip all those other steps and save a lot of time. Hammer the peg down into the hole about 1/4 inch pass the floor and epoxy. Easy peasy !!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I have never seen a dowel used. Most installers just make the hole larger and place the iron directly in. I can see this being faster way to get the job done!
Cool. Very clever way to change them over. I would probable have torn the whole thing apart and started over. This saved a ton of work and your sure to make it go back together right.
Are the balusters still to code? One issue owners may face is that thicker old wood balusters may be to code (ie where I live max of 4" between balusers), but the new thinner iron balusters will now have more than code specifies in terms of spacing between each.
Good instructive video, Artisan Tony, with 'Tripod Barret', in charge of saying, 'Umhum, Umhum." The gal knew what she wanted. The Artisan was able to turn her vision into reality.
My parents spend a fortune tearing out their wrought iron for wood spindles. Out with the 70's and in to timeless in my opinion. Wrought iron and wood compliment one another, but all wrought iron is way too dated for me. Good video, thumbs up!!!
Craig Arndt that’s funny, I prefer the wrought iron spindles and have the white wood ones. The wrought iron to me is so classic and is perfect for Tuscan styled homes. Tell your parents I’ll trade.
Yes! :) It would be at a trim supplier or you can order them at places like stairpartsusa.com/products/hollow-baluster-angled-shoe?variant=11041315910&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoJX8BRCZARIsAEWBFML0WX2XbqdsGonmE4Xj_qz13jrs8K8nDhF3WqSZFsxCiVWnBtSX7fYaAsz1EALw_wcB
Does anyone know the dowel size and screw lengths he used? Someone asked this 3 years ago and I don't believe the question was answered (or I am missing it.) Thanks for the video!
It will depend on the baluster size but these were 3/4" You might have to sand them down a bit to fit but a snug fit is good. The screws were 1 1/2" trim screws.
Hi Wayne. I've had the white spindles in my townhome since it was built 16 years ago, but now I desire to change to the metal ones because that's all I see in most of the newer built homes, and it just looks nice. It's going to cost me about $1700 per the stair guy. While I desire to change it out for a more modern and sophisticated look, something tells me that it might not be worth it. I'm just curious as to why you said you would have left the wooden ones. Please can you share your reason(s)? I'm not even going to be in this house much longer( 3 years tops, and then it'll be a rental). Thanks!

I would have loved to see the finished product!

Nice looking balusters. Good job on explaining the process.
Thanks! :)

We saved the owner about $900 by doing it this way. :) Thanks!
Good video, thank you for letting me use your brain and thank you for the upload😁
Thank you for watching

Did you post the finished look? Those stairs are identical to mine. Would love to see how it all turned out.

I like saving my customers money. They always call me back :)
ArtisanTony Artisan Tony gets that type of customer, because he does >good work and wears a clean shirt, and has clean shoes too!
So this is what Ed Sheeran had been up to
Thanks for sharing this Sir!
Thanks! :)
💥Great job. How long did it take you to change all of these.??
It wasn't too bad after we developed a rhythm. I think it was around 4 hours. I know it did not take a whole day. Thanks!
Thank you for this!!
Thanks for this great tip.
Great work sr , how much would you charge to replace a pice ?
God keeps bless you ✌✌
A whole pice? At least 3.
Great video, thank you 😊
Thanks!
Nice. I hope you post the finished job.

The top knuckle is not on an angle. Can you buy an angled knuckle?
Yes! :) It would be at a trim supplier or you can order them at places like stairpartsusa.com/products/hollow-baluster-angled-shoe?variant=11041315910&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoJX8BRCZARIsAEWBFML0WX2XbqdsGonmE4Xj_qz13jrs8K8nDhF3WqSZFsxCiVWnBtSX7fYaAsz1EALw_wcB
Nice work
Thanks!
Go MOCS! also staircase was nice
haha! Thanks!
Smart
Can you tell me about how long per baluster it took to do the work? Thanks for sharing the video and the method.
Sorry, the question was how much time. Thanks!
Wondering where to find this baluster product for sale. Or brand name. Thanks.
I would use epoxy to secure the balusters per the manufactures recommendation.
that is too permanent and this method worked fine.
Does anyone know what size dowel he used and the type of screw and length of it? This way will help save tons of time!!
Great video
It's probably a 3/8" dowel but you have to get one for the stair you are working on. One size does not fit all :)
Would it not be easier to drill a bigger hole instead of using a dowel since the shoe will cover everything?

Wow genius
Is there a way to properly remove them without damaging them?
Not really. You could cut them neatly at the top but they would be too short to use for the next handrail
Twist and lift. Hole in top is probably deep enough to allow removal
2:45 was that the Joker Laughing?
i thought it was Deliverance LOL
@@kellindalton6028 😂😂😂 squeal like a 🐷 boy
Knew you were going to saw the truck before you did it 🤦🏻♂️

Labor INTENSIVE 😢
We did not even raise a sweat, lol, if you think this is labor intensive, you need to get in shape, haha
I would have left the wood ones....
