Talk about straight to the point and useful! Thanks

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Eeeexactly

[@charlesharakal4892]

Thanks for the video, I made a jig just like yours for 3 inch spacing and got screws started in all my balusters. Worked perfectly! Saved me tons of aggravation!

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Awesome!! Love that

Brother… thank you for just getting straight to the point. Short and sweet intro. Total God send. Thank you so much brother! Straight to the point, clear instructions, good clear audio,absolutely fantastic job on the video. Subd for your way of making content 👌👍 Again. Thank you 🙏

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Love that and exactly what I some for Glad it helped and thanks

[@budchin1]

Very well-constructed. I learned a lot from watching your video.

[@saywhatbruh25]

Thanks so much for uploading this video. Working on this now and its always helpful to see clear tutorials

[@mrkopmana]

Thanks for sharing. Love your methods. Simple and easy, and the railings look great

[@markolsen7438]

I always use vinyl gutter upside down as the top cap. It protects the wood, looks better and will never rot. It will in most cases snap right on a 2x4 without the use of any screws

[@shawnwilt7196]

I will be making a spacer like you made for my project. Thanks.

This video rocks.

Built my deck just like this and the code inspector failed me on the “handrail “ and not notching my posts and using carriage bolts. Imagine that

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Interesting, what State are you in? I would have thought the notch was optional, seems like it here is NC

[@NeverOctober_]

I have a question for you on your spindles. Did you cut those 45°? On the bottom

[@how-toswithaaron16]

I bought them that way and cut the other end to the length I wanted

[@jadedparadise19]

Nice video. I like the blocking under the deck. How far apart can/should the posts be?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Usually between 6 and 8 feet max

[@adrielmontiel1887]

The spindles do you cut them with a bevel ? Or you just cut it with a 45 degree ?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Yep a 45 degree cut does good You could less like 35 if you like how it looks but 45 is the norm

[@adrielmontiel1887]

@@how-toswithaaron16 45 degree cut ? No bevel on the saw right ?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Right. I usually miter You can usually find them with the angle already cut and then just cut to length

[@Stuffandthingstoknow]

Nice work!

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Thanks!

[@williamhunter658]

Great video!!! How tall are your handrails ?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

The top is at 36”

[@jdo333]

awesome

[@TimmyJacobs-jl6mo]

Is that a 5 inch deck board on top?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Yes You could use a 2x4 but I like a deck board as a better place to set a drink, and it covers a little more

[@Joesmith-fu4ps]

Handrail or guardrail ?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Either sounds right to me, perhaps you could say guard rail since it’s not going downstairs

[@vernonstroble948]

Do you use all treated lumber?

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Yes, all treated Untreated would only last around a year

[@angelreyesespinoza5686]

Que medida son esos barrotes

1 1/2” Los llamo 2” deck spindle Perro esta 1 1/2”

[@Vinterfrid]

Interesting, but you're moving your camera around way too fast - I get really dizzy trying to follow. Half the speed would be accurate. Thanks.

[@how-toswithaaron16]

Gotcha, thanks!

[@maryperz-jones4528]

Good information. but I got dizzy with the camera moving everywhere...you need a tripod...

[@maryperz-jones4528]
