WE FINISHED THE RAILING // TLF 41

[@genghisbunny]

I really like the way you reused the existing ironwork.

[@Lucys-sky]

I’m so happy I found this video. I wanted to keep my wrought iron in my split level and needed ides. This is absolutely beautiful!

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

[@kimlittleton4943]

I absolutely LOVE this !!!! I love old things and these handrails are just gorgeous. This just totally made them super nice and repurposed. Great idea. Great video !!!

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

[@maryejones7992]

You all did a EXCELLENT JOB on redoing the staircase it was apart of the homeowners to keep the wrought iron your work was superb.

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Mike-hq7mn]

The final staircase looks beautiful. Great job with the post to add long term stability

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much

[@visioneer68]

Looks great. It's always nice to see the plans and thoughts in your head of how you think it should come out actually work.

[@handydadtv]

Upstairs was the prototype (or proof-of-concept). But I’ve been procrastinating the rest of it for a year because I knew how complicated it would be. I spent many sleepless nights over-thinking the design, and I’m really glad it’s done!

[@LordUSABless]

I was looking for a way to update and modernize our outdoor wrought iron railings. Yours turned out so beautiful I'm going to see if my husband can do this for us.

[@handydadtv]

Glad it was helpful 👍🏻

[@Chainsawctopus]

Wow! That's some craftsmanship! Good work :)

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Now that's an awesome transformation. Tom Silva would be proud! You guys did a fantastic job!

[@handydadtv]

Thanks Ben 😊

[@funzone-yey]

I have the same thing in the old house. Thank you for your great idea as I had no clue what to do with it.

[@handydadtv]

It was a lot of work but totally worth it.

[@Dave0421]

Great transformation, Unbelievable, Thank you 👍

[@handydadtv]

Oh you found it! (You can tell I respond in order!)

[@mjc42701]

Beautiful!, I also love to see things updated and repurposed.

[@handydadtv]

Thanks. All credit goes to my wife for the idea.

So true. ❤️

[@caroldavid3716]

I have the same iron wrought railings in my home. I was looking to get rid of them, but after reviewing this video, I am changing my mind.

[@handydadtv]

It’s a lot of work, but not hard. It’s a cost effective design feature that will keep your old railings out of the dump.

[@CarriesBee]

WOW that looks amazing. What a great idea!

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

[@handydadtv]

It was my wife’s idea. I’m required to repeat that.

[@egyphon]

That staircase is beatiful.

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sreno0207]

I was skeptical at first but the final design looks stunning! Congrats!

[@handydadtv]

Glad I converted you!

[@lcook0825]

They look great. I've seen all the videos and loved them.

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

[@memphobro]

That's the type of work that I do. I must say that you did a hell of a job!

[@handydadtv]

Thanks 😊

[@starrjones1477]

awesome! it looks great. good job!

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

[@starrjones1477]

you are so very welcomed!

[@Bkg0202]

Stunning work. All of the little mishaps were funny... shows that you can run into issues too.... just like us. 😉

[@handydadtv]

Oh heck yeah. I’m not one of those “perfect video” producers. I like to leave the bloopers in.

[@anthonycaggiano8211]

Great idea on reusing the iron railing. Just another idea…. The bottom post could have been left as 3 sided with one side open to allow access to install a wood support insert like you did on the top posts. Then the 4th side installed afterwards. Either way good work

[@handydadtv]

Good idea. Thanks.

[@edkeeney3379]

Looks sharp!

[@handydadtv]

12:33 You caught kickback on film! Difficult to avoid in that case and you stood to the side to avoid.

[@handydadtv]

Yes indeed. I know better.

Great Job !!

Do you have an affiliate link for that angle bit thing that you used???

[@handydadtv]

No, Julie got it for me as a Christmas gift years ago. This was the first time I used it!

Thanks. It was my wife’s idea. She gets all the credit. Always does. ☺️

[@dominiccastro2438]

I could be mistaken, but is that 12mm laminate flooring mixed with wood stair treads shown @ 0:10?

[@handydadtv]

Yes. We used the laminate in the basement and had extra to replace tile on the landing inside the front door. My daughter bleached the oak steps to better match the laminate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2rElIOCpMutfNk

[@dominiccastro2438]

@@handydadtv Wow awesome. Thank you so much for getting back to me. I've been looking for feedback from people that have mixed wood on the stairs with laminate on floor, but haven't found anything. I hate the look of laminate stair treads. I'm thinking about doing this. Just wanted to make sure that it looked right and not choppy, with consideration to resale.

[@EdwinHernandez-lw7xc]

Hey so I’ve been searching for ideas about split level entry ways and I really love this style, could you send me photographs of the interior entry way. I was also considering doing a bump out.

[@handydadtv]

This video is all I have.

[@anthonycaggiano8211]

I might have missed this, but how did you secure the iron railing to the bottom? Were there predrilled holes already in the bottom rail ?

[@handydadtv]

I drilled holes and secured it with black screws.

[@anthonycaggiano8211]

@@handydadtv also how has the railing held up over time? Im looking to do this project and I’m also looking for a way to make the top rail with curvature somehow

[@handydadtv]

It still looks awesome!

[@erikaginter7040]

Great video! What color are your walls?

[@handydadtv]

Sea Salt. Thanks!

[@monticae]

Steel horizontal railing is the latest style. I’m doing away with chunky wood.

[@handydadtv]

They wanted cheap

[@BillSW]

why fill the post joints with caulk instead of using wood filler?

[@handydadtv]

For painting, caulk is much easier to work with and requires no sanding.

[@kori_88]

So…would it have been better to hire someone and do the whole thing? What’s your take on this after all said and done? And how long did it take you l

[@handydadtv]

“Whole thing” meaning the railing? Or the whole reno? Obviously I’m biased towards DIY. It saves money, let’s you do it exactly as you want, and you’ll look back with pride for the accomplishment.

[@llamaface6229]

How is this diy with a whole crew and a garage full of equipment

[@handydadtv]

The crew is all family. We’re like Amish the way we help each other, but we drink and swear. As for the tools, you can’t do DIY without them.

[@thomasflynn6307]

Very nice
