Thanks for posting this! I think clamping the bend out of the pieces as you glue them would put residual stresses in the handrail that might warp it in time, better to glue up first with bent pieces oversized, and trim or plane off the excess after.
Wow! You make it look easy! My wood is 75 X 75 mm, as you recommend, but the pieces are only 3 m, so I am wondering what joint you suggest to lengthen it to 4.3 m? It's hardwood and will be exposed to heavy tropical rain, so I'm worried about water penetration.
Hi there, Hoping you might double-check the router bit used for the curved top. I think it might have been 99-452 or 99-027. not 99-520. Im about to purchase the bits online and don't want to buy the wrong bits. Thanks!

Hello Vince, Thanks for commenting. It sounds to me like you're assuming I'm American, but I'm actually Canadian. Here in Canada metric is the official measurement system imposed by the government, but most woodworkers still use Imperial measurements. Just call us rebels, I guess. I'm "bilingual" so to speak, but I prefer Imperial for two reasons. When you're experienced enough, both systems are equally easy to use. I also like the history and personality of the Imperial system. To each his own is something I believe in. Thanks for watching. Steve
I think the better answer is that the tool, equipment and wood all come in imperial measurements. Its very hard to find metric drill bits. Metric is acually the official standard for both Canada and the United States but its never really caught on. I agree metric is much easier to wortk with.

Good job! i was searching on you tube for tricks of woodworking n stumbled on your video-
Just what I needed to see about process Would appreciate a closer look at the router bits.
Thanks. Perfect. Exactly what I need to keep the inspectors happy. Much appreciated. And ... sorry you have to deal with the scammer assault.
great job. great video...to the point. Can you add the name and sizes of bits.

can you list your bits please, and if you only have a 1/2 bit router is it enough? I will be doing hardwood
Very informative as usual .. Thanks
Any way you could post links to those router bits?
This was absolutely great. Thank you
Great Video, very informative, thank you. (Breathing in all that dust won't do you very much good though! All the best.)
very nice job, thanks.
How did you mill the Chanel in the underside of the rail?
thanks for sharing your video..
This is such an old video. Feels like it was probably the first video to be uploaded to RUclips
Why not use a router table?
What kind of glue did your use?
Wood glue.
Great to see that woodprix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.

Gluing both pieces is a waste of glue. Seriously if you get coverage opaque on one piece your good and no waste and less squeeze out.
You can use wood prix instructions to build it in the cheapest way.
If you want to make your own woodworking yourself just look for woodprix website. There is all you need to make it :)
Check woodprix mates. I love it to my wooden projects.
Except your country, nobody uses inches for measuring in the world. Why dont you use m, cm, mm, like all the world?
