What would you search for to locate one of these steel sleeves? I've looked for base plates, feet, anchors, steel sleeves, sleeves, etc. I can find nothing at Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon.... Any help identifying where to get one of these?

Also, if you know someone with a welder, they would be super easy to fabricate. One of those easy to do if you have the tools things... Thanks Leah - great tip!

I can't find one anywhere
Leah I come looking for you every time I’m being cheap and about to DIY. Thank you for this AWESOME idea!
Thank you Leah. I used an angle grinder yesterday for the first time. And hung a roller blind. Leah, you are my inspiration. (female, 70, Australia)
Nice going
Just make sure you get familiar with angle grinder safety if you haven't done so already. Definitely one of the most dangerous tools in the shop.
Yes, please be careful. Fellow Australian here telling you that the angle grinder is your best & worst friend.
When I was doing my apprenticeship I saw someone cut their chin off with one !!! Yes their chin 😳
Consider this a friendly word of advice 👍
Roller blinds are very tricky!!
Cosmetic note... turn the "device" around so that the side bolt is towards the house so it isn't as noticeable from the street/walkway. Then fill in the top gap and paint. It will be hardly noticeable.
Also filling in the top gap isn't just for cosmetics. Water is going to pool in the boot and accelerate the rust issue.
Fill with what? Caulk?
Always a nice notification to receive, Merry Christmas, Leah
Merry Christmas everyone
It's November
@@revee1000 so what, it’s a positive message and not critical like yours.
People should not be celebrating that because it is not Biblical. People say it is about the birth of Jesus - well when Jesus was born his body was flesh - that means you would be celebrating the FLESH and not his spirit. The Bible tells us to crucify the flesh and desires NOT celebrate it. It is also written that the day of death is better than the day of birth - we also need to be born again - we need to be born of the spirit and truth. Also, it is also written do not lay up treasures on earth but lay up treasures in heaven - well what do you think people are doing with all their gifts. Psalm 23 also says ‘I shall not want’ - well what do you normally hear from people around this time? ‘I want this for xmas and I want that for xmas. Kids are treating santa like a god by asking for things and officering sacrifices (milk and cookies etc..). The parents LIE to their kids by telling them santa gives them presents - well who is the father of lies? The answer is SATAN. I could go on but you get the idea - AVOID XMAS LIKE THE PLAGUE AND GET OUT FROM THE DEVIL’S SNARE!!!!
That’s an awesome solution Ms Leah!!
Whenever I have a home repair/renovation project that I don't know how to do, I am always thankful when I see that you have made a video on it. You're the best on TH-cam for DIY and homeowners like me.
Consider sealing the gap because it's like a cup holding the water in to further rust away the railing, and freeze doing more damage in the winter. A drain hole drilled in that bottom plate would be helpful before permanent install.
I was going to suggest drilling weep holes in the bottom of but ceiling it is a good idea as well. 😉
I was thinking about cutting the device in half so you don’t have to slide the post in from the top.
A drain hole and a sacrificial anode to prevent future corrosion.
A good putty epoxy for engine repair would be good for this. Angle the putty for the rain to shed off of it. It is paintable too. I do think that the new foot is hollow through the bottom. Also I think that I would have cut off the jagged edge of the down pipe and treated the end with Rustoleum to stop more rust.
@@Emmilythecat square tubing is hollow but not the base plate, it’s flat stock
Always love an easy fix to a common problem. Thanks for the video as always Leah :)
Can clear silicone be filled in around insert to keep water and ice from going in ?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Yes

Wow! It’s like u took a pick of my railing😀Where can I purchase/ what’s the name ? Love the channel… Happy Thanksgiving
I'd drill some weep holes
Thanks Leah, we can always count on you to help us out! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Stay safe out there! ☮️✌🏻
Thanks Leah! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I had to do this a couple months ago and i did it the same way, i feel smart... The only extra thing that i did was to put some epoxy around, so no water get in between the handrail and the device...
Thank you, Leah. I appreciate your way of explaining very much - especially all the additional tips and hints, that you are giving in your videos. Greetings from Germany.
Another job well done!! Thank you Leah! Have a blessed thanksgiving!
Wow, just had a Jerry rig fix on mine last week before the snow comes. Now I know what to purchase for next years chores.
Thank you Ms mind reader.😄💕
I have a similar railing leading to a patio in the yard. Noticed rust forming on the concrete. Plan on removing the patio & replacing it with a deck. The less steps the better as we’re getting older & not as steady on our feet as we used to be.
Nice hack! Thanks, Leah 💋
Great video, always so helpful!
Love Leah...she is very clear with her instructions. 👍
Great information. Thank you, Leah.
Another great money saving DIY video! Congratulations to the winners of the contest. I read so many great stories, all very deserving of a win. Hope you have a very blessed Thanksgiving!
Another great tip, Leah! But I would suggest two additional steps:
(1) Clean rust off the post and paint it with several coats of rust converter, then a couple finish coats of exterior grade enamel.
(2) The repair bracket is larger than the post, so there is a gap for water to get in. This will cause the post to rust away again even faster. I would use some kind of caulking or better yet butyl or silicone sealer to fill that gap.
Super helpful! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!🙏🏽
Amazing never would have thought of it.
Thank you Jane!!!!
Thank you for the video Leah! 👍🏼❤️
Thanks Leah. Another great vid. You never cease to amaze me.
That reminds me I do have a little project to attend to thank you Leah
This is a very very informative channel and it's much appreciated, thank you!
At last I can say I saw Jane Drill except it was Leah😉 another great video presentation 👍 it was nice to see the video interview you did as well giving your background , qualifications and the motivation that made you get your brilliant site up and running. Fantastic👍
Wishing you a fantastic Thanksgiving. Love your tips and advice. God bless you Leah.
Thank you Leah! You truly are inspiring and give me the courage that "I can do this" Happy Thanksgiving. :)
Great video!!!! As always. Thanks for taking the time.
Leah, thank you for this! I have wrought iron porch rails. They are already seated in these gadgets, but wobbly from my handicapped friends pulling on them. Now that I understand how they work, maybe I can secure them!
Happy thanksgiving sweet Leah!!! Hope you have wonderful day with your loved ones.
Great info to know......thanks Leah and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!!!
I never fail to learn something from you. Thanks for another video!
You're awesome, keep sharing that experience.
Leah thank you for your videos,.
Thanks Leah 😎🛠️😎🛠️😎
Nice drill work 😁👏👏
Hey Leah Have A wonderful Thanksgiving You are one of the people I am thankful for your videos are amazing Be safe stay blessed!
Another informative video. Thanks 😊
Wish I had known this earlier this year. Spent BIG money to refabricate the rail and have it installed because of one rusted out rail footing. Thanks for the video.
Great video Leah , have a blessed Thanksgiving , God bless !
Great info! 👍🏻
Well done, Leah, as always !!! Happy Thanksgiving !
Thanks Leah, didn't know this was so easy to accomplish. I'm beginning DIY. GREAT video, helpful 👍🏻🇺🇲. AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOURS 😊🦃🦃🦃
How perfect that you posted this video. It's like you knew I was searching. Although on my mom's railing, the railing is in tact but the boot around the bottom is corroding and cracking. I don't know how to replace the boot sleeve without tearing out the whole railing. Maybe if Leah comes across a wrap around boot sleeve replacement she can do a video on those as well.
NOTE: Don't know what the boot sleeve at the bottom is actually called. Maybe if someone else knows, you can correct my verbiage and I'll know better what to search for on the internet.
Hi Leah, great video, thank you and wishing you a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving !
Awesome fix!
Used one of these on the railing on our stairs. The one I had was a little undersized and it took some effort getting it seated properly, but once done it's been solid for a few years now. Thanks for the video 🛠
Where did you get yours? I can't seem to find one. Thx
you are awesome keep doing what you're doing love all your videos
Awesome! Thank you
Awesome ! Happy Thanksgiving Leah
Another great video!!
Great video tyvm Leah, may you and everyone have a happy happy, merry merry and a happy happy. !😃😃😃😃😃
You rock, Leah!
Nice! Happy Thanksgiving, Leah!
Thanks Jane!
Your shop looks so neat, clean and organized.
Awesome job.
Thank you so much. I am going to use this boot to strengthen my railing.
Just want to say Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for your tips and lessons. 😃
Leah you rock!
Perfect timing! I just had a railing break off a couple days ago.
Great video .. what a life saver
This Vid was a Twofer - even if I don't need to fix a stair rail - I learned how to use concrete fasteners. Good info!
slick device, I've used something like this on the past....thanks for sharing and happy Thanksgiving....
Just perfect, as all you do. Kisses from Brazil!💚💛🇧🇷
Another good job !!!!!
Omg, i have the exact problem. Thank you.
Blessings of Thanksgiving to you, and to all 🌍
Good idea Leah. Thanks for the video. Also for cosmetic reasons, if I may suggest, I would consider spacers & tightening the 'set screw' to center the post before marking to drill the holes.
Leah, Great stuff.... Keep up the good work :P
Omg Exactly what i need to do thank you 🙏
I love a good gadget. Good video!
You ROCK!
You saved me so much $$ with this - thank you!!! Tipping you now!
Great idea
You're the Bees Knees! 🐝 Best
Informative & practical videos on TH-cam!
Nice one
*Safety note:* You don't want to breath in *any* of that concrete dust. It contains silica particles which can cause *irreversible* lung damage. As such, instead of using tape on the drill bit (to mark the depth) that can blow the dust around, just wind the tape tight without the loose end or mark it with a "Sharpie" pen. You can also use water while drilling to control the dust. And of course it is a good idea to wear a dust mask, especially when blowing the dust out of the holes. Good video.
@@SherylinRM - Sorry to hear that. I think it's getting better in the construction industry but not as well know by home owners doing their own work.
A good mask for me, and a good vacuum to pick up the dust might be better than the canned air.
@@brauhaus - Just make sure the vacuum has a good HEPA filter and use a shop vac that prevents the dust going through the motor. For a small job like this I would just use water.
Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃 🤩
I think this is great thanks
Nice video Leah. Happy Thanksgiving.
Outstanding!!!!
Thanks John and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks again
Yeah railings rusting and moving is a problem and if not addressed people can get hurt and fall off the stairs and stuff. My uncle and aunts front house the railings are loose I should do tell him about this. Maybe my cousin can put it in. Thank you Leah this is awesome that this thing exists.
Have a Happy Blessed Thanksgiving Leah.
Nice.. learned about the hammer drill..👍🙋♀️
Thanks..
So glad you are posting again. Happy Holidays To you and your family.
Have you not been getting the uploads?
@@seejanedrill no, I had to search you out today and seeing that you had uploaded four videos since I last watched one.
I always watch your videos and think to myself “ This lady is awesome “ I don’t normally just sit and watch, videos like this. Unless I need to learn how to fix something. I watch yours every time I have one pop up. Thank you for your handy information.
Thank you Jess
I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving, Leah!
What are these called? I have some railings that are wobbling and ready to break off, and one that already did. I'd love to do this repair!
I remember this old house had a video a while back about a similar repair, but theirs was much more involved, required welding and machining. I don't have the tools or knowhow for that. But this I could do!
Right! Because it was This Old House! Nothing is ever simple! Or cheap!
I just added a comment about this that I just fixed with 1.25 inch steel square pipe from Home Depot.
Should be at the top of the comment section.
You the girl. Love it.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, Excellent Job thank you. I also like it 4 new railings. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
That's a nice and easy repair. 👌
Just one tip: face the bolt to the side, so the handrail will be pressed to the side surface of the device. This will give extra sideways stability, and it will prevent the bolt from coming loose too soon.
Great explanation and cool product. Those dimples took a bit more effort than what was shown.
Thanks, Miss Leah! I thought you may have fabricated those repair pieces yourself. Looks solid.
