My dad passed away before we could tackle the railing on our house. He was planning to teach me carpentry so I could do projects to improve the house over time. He was a carpenter of 43 years and passed away this past August. I have been dreading this, thinking it would be too complicated for me to learn but you gave me hope that I could even achieve this by myself. Thank you so much for this instructional video!

You can do it! Just take things slow, measure twice before each cut, and before long you'll be moving on to the next project! Sorry about your loss

If I paint the railings, I always paint the balusters first in bulk with a roller, THEN cut them to length and install. It saves a lot of time on the other end.

I shared the tutorial with our son, because he is going to help build ours, & told him I saw something that might be a mistake. Asked him to let me know if he sees it. LOVED the hidden object idea too!

Just a tip, Tite bond 2( blue top) is water resistant and Tite bond 3 (green top) is waterproof. you're using Tite bond original (red top) so the wood glue will fail eventually with moisture. Good luck good job brother.

I assume one day somebody will dismantle whatever I build and get a chuckle from what they find. Amazing you and I think alike. I like the video and I am about to build a railing around my front porch. My house is old (built in 1941). I totally re-furbished the house (10 years working on it). Thanks

for the max 4" space between ballusters i just always go 3.5". make sure first one or post is plumb of course, then just hold up the 2x4 and place your balluster next to it, pop a finish nail to temp hold it and keep moving. check for plumb every 4 or 5 ballusters as you install. pretty fast. and to me looks better than 4" spacing. i know not that big of a difference but just my personal preference. when it comes to railing height, openings id rather know im over code than being right on bc that leaves some room for error if you get someone out there that wamts to be an engineer and says you are an 1/8 low from 36" haha

Good video and commentary. I am about to tackle the same job on a small side porch with aluminum awning. Thinking of going with 2 tone using cream top and bottom plates with white ballisters for some contrast which will match exterior of my house. I can always repaint the ballisters if I don't like it. I like to paint pieces individually to seal end grain of each piece and with 2 different colors, I like a clean new look with no over run. At least it will look good until it needs new paint.

That bottom horizontal rail is going to rot so fast. Between each baluster is cup that'll hold water after every rain or snow melt. And did I miss the reason why you put the balusters? On the outside of the first rail section, but on the inside of the second rail section that runs between the house and the corner post.
@metaspencer
@metaspencer 4 жыл бұрын
Filling in those lower gaps is a good idea for sure. On a covered porch like this one it's a bit less of a concern, but still a good point. As for the baluster variation, it was all because of the variation on this old porch which is far from square

Nice efficient construction, but there's a lot you could have done to prevent rot. The groove at the top of the bottom rail is a no-no (even if you add caulking), and you should have primed and painted it before assembly. Make sure you install the top and bottom rail crown side up.

Next time, tilt the flat bottom rail slightly...5-10° then cut your ballusters on the same angle, the point is to let the rain run off, otherwise the rail will "cup" and hold water, causing it to crack/check and rot much quicker.

Very nice and you made it look so easy! I hope you'll do a project to replace that lattice skirting and make a video of that as well.

Oh good idea! Making that lattice look nice (trim is the key) will really make a porch pop ... while keeping out the critters.

You put the balisters on the outside of the railings on the front and on the inside of the sides.

Yeah that deck was out of square and cockeyed so seemed to work

Does a matter that you put the spindles of the long banister on the outside and the spindles of the short piece connected to the house on the inside?

Good eye! I had to balance a few things on this project since the porch was very irregular and out of square. I'd say do it all the same unless you absolutely have to!

@metaspencer One of the best video for railing. However, I would suggest listing the wood type used, what are the measurements, what kind of nails or screws, what kind of paints? Why not painting first then assemble? Does the PDF on esty include the info? Thank you so much

Great suggestions! I cover some of those details in that document on Etsy, but maybe not enough particulars for your taste. I'd be happy to chat about my wood, paint, and fastener preferences with. you over email though: metaspencer at gmail ... take care!

Great video, it has inspired me to try this job myself. I’m new to code, where can I find the height requirements? Thanks again.

You can look for "uniform building code" or just check with your local zoning official or documents ... residential rails tend to need to be 36" but there are some variation to that based on the type of building, location, height, etc

Would you mind sharing what color blue you painted the house? Love it!

We ended up really liking it too! Thanks for noticing. I believe it was a Behr paint, perhaps "New age blue" or "indigo batik" ... kind of a slatey darker blue

Water will collect at the base bottom of ballistics after you braced them with those two pieces of wood, created a void between them. This will cause premature rot.

Great point and right on ... best to fill those voids in areas where there might be water. Thanks mate!

For the piece you connected to the siding, did you end up caulking around that area? I'm new to any carpentry work so excuse if that's a newb question lol

Always a good idea to add sealant if there is any chance of water getting in there

Does the bottom of the railing fill up with rain? I'm nervous about the way that baluster channel would handle water.
