Absolutely beautiful, I came here for the cable rail system & I think I'm sold, I was going to go with the HAAS Cable rail system but I just may have changed my mind.
Thanks so much for the kind words and the support John. The beauty of video editing. Always makes it look easier then it is but hopefully it helps my audience in order to actually make it this easy :)
Oh wow Im jealous Brent! Thats an amazing transformation. Mines are in wood but very old 1998 look. In Canada we cant install horizontal railing because kids could climb it, so the vertical posts or glass panels is about the only choices. Great project as always and hope to see another video soon.
That is stunningly beautiful! Almost--ALMOST--makes me wish I had stairs! Sadly, my ruined hip joints and spine won't let it happen. Oh well! I'll just admire these ones from afar. :D
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words. Glad you don't have to worry about stairs in your own place. The beauty of the railing isn't enough to sacrifice your health for it.
Tip. Check the stair angle with a speed square. Most stairs fall in the neighborhood of 35°. RailFX makes a stair post with a removable base. Stringline your stair off bottom cable hole between end posts. Measure distance from tread to stringline on longer intermediate posts. Measure that distance from the bottom cable hole down and cut it. Install the bottom play and you are good to go.
I'm trying to find the angle for the footing I need to cut for my post. My stair angle is Y: 21.8 degrees. I found it on my miter saw but getting it to look as clean as the one you created will be the challenge. Thanks for posting.
Not sure if I missed it, but if you are cutting the other end of the wire at 1.5 inches how do you crimp it ? I was thinking it wouldnt extend out far enough
@@lawrenceporter7753 yes, then a cap is threaded on to hold and tension it. If cut too long, cannot tension so must cut off the end and crimp on a new one.
Looks great! Question though, how does the height of the stair railing feel? Since you added the wood blocks, it’s raises the height of the railing 5-6”. So with the 36” height of the posts, that puts the total height to around 41-42”. Seems kinda high … thoughts?
It looks great, but I have no trust for those screws and that structure. railing posts and fastening are under a lot of stress and nothing there gives me any confidence based on failures I've had to fix.
I feel if you felt this structure you may be singing a different tune. Extremely solid and I have zero worries long term. Unless someone takes a sledge hammer and a reciprocating saw to it like I did I think we will be ok. But will make sure to let everyone know if issues occur down the road. What failures have you seen in the past? Where they with posts like this one? Thanks for watching and your support in any case.
I know @sylvan_db ‘s feeling. If you watch videos from “finish carpentry TV” or “insider carpentry” the newel posts I’ve seen them install on staircases were buried all the way through the staircase or they used super long 3/4” or 1” threaded rod and those suckers didn’t budget one bit
@@BYOTools Usually the issues are caused by using screws or lugs into pine/fir to fasten the post. They loosen up over time. The fix is thru bolts but even those loosen up as the relatively soft wood compresses so it is necessary to retighten as they do in order to prevent outright failure. Fixing posts like yours with a screw from the top and no lower access, I've had to drill out for a 1in hardwood dowel for each screw. Hardwood (preferably maple) keeps screws tight longer and can be retightened more times before needing replaced.
@@BYOTools what brand cable receivers / terminals did you use? I can’t find ones this shirt anywhere and longer ones don’t work with angled installations…
View rail is as ugly as they come. They provide cover plates to hide those disgusting welds. Hope that the powder coat isn't going to crack or flake. If you want a real sexy railing that screams quality...hit up AGSStainless.
Seperior craftsmanship, that really opened up the area and looks very sharp.

......and after writing that last comment I priced it out on their website, aaah no thanks too damm expensive.
Brent, I love your videos and the final outcomes. I feel as if you are talking directly to me when you do these projects!
Nice project! Love the combo of the walnut handrail with the black powder-coated posts!
What a transformation, nice job!!!
Amazing, this is exactly what I was looking for inspiration.
This is probably one of my favorite projects you have done, awesome job!
Love hearing that James. Thanks so much for watching and all the support.
Love it !!!!
Thanks so much for watching Leah. glad you enjoy the final product :)
Amazing! You make it look so easy!

Beautiful rails,GOD BLESS
Amazing transformation! That new railing opened up the space so nicely! Great work as usual!!

Looks amazing as always! Thank you for the video!
Fantastic job!
yes, huge improvements.
That turned out nice man!
Looks great but the price is astronomical. Anyone know of a better value system?
Hi, from where did you buy the materials? (Posts, cable, etc.)
How did the height of the railing work out? It looks like it would be too high to meet code because of the blocking that you put under it.
Railing looks great! I’m from your area and I was wondering what the specialty lumber store was called. I really like that walnut
"experience true level" - I caught your easter egg. Good ol' Rick Sanchez ;)
My favorite style of railing but is against building code here in canada. Kids like to climb it and fall off the other side.
Not sure if I missed it, but if you are cutting the other end of the wire at 1.5 inches how do you crimp it ? I was thinking it wouldnt extend out far enough
Crimp the fitting then thread it thru the post. The fitting extends past the end of the wire.
@@Sylvan_dB Oh ok thanks, so it can push thru the post hole with the threaded piece on it ?
@@lawrenceporter7753 yes, then a cap is threaded on to hold and tension it. If cut too long, cannot tension so must cut off the end and crimp on a new one.
@@Sylvan_dB thank you

How well does the wood glue adhere to a painted surface? I'd think you would want wood to wood with the glue.
Gorilla extreme Construction adhesive would have been better
@BYOTools , what's the flooring in this video. It's beautiful.
thanks this si what i was trying to tell my wife idk if i like it or not gonna try
Could you please tell me how much did you cost for the entire project. I mean just for the stuff.
What a transformation, it looks incredible! 👍 How much tension do you put on the cables?
Good questions Brian and its a bit open ended based on preference. I did it by feel and as long as it felt taught we were good to go.
Where can i buy the crimp fittings????

That looks amazing. How much does a project like that will cost?
Excellent 👍👍
Where did you buy railing
they also cover those welds
What is the board size?
Fantastic work. What is the overall cost
My advice is just cause this guy can do it doesn’t mean you can from my experience
How much would be for you this to my house
what about the ladder effect it just seems too wrong that's a long drop 🤪
can't do that railing in Canada, not Code compliant
Needs biscuits or at dowels for greater strength on the handrail and newel posts installed on incline.
Looks good but needs the pass throughs on the posts for the cable to finish it off.
Wondering.why the steel posts are 2.5 x the cost of a 36" steel post for vinyl All of the rail system manufacturers seem to have fixed the price.
What did this cost you?
Anybody know the break down of the cost I know he listed materials but I’m guessing the cost is maybe about $1000?
I just ordered it from Vevor and it costed less than $400
What’s your favorite go to brand of power tool?
You could have done less runs with a wider gap while ensuring safety.
NOTE: install this only if you are single, no kids or they are grown ups.
You could've used some basic trigonometry to figure out the angles for the post caps.
Love to hire contractors that has O.C.D.😅😅😎😎
This wld not be legal in the UK as it gives kids a ladder to climb over lol
Interesting Mark. Does that mean in the UK they only allow Vertical slats and nothing horizontal? Thanks for watching.
🙏👏👍💪
Thanks for watching as always Alain.
