Loose stair post? Unsure of what to do? This is what I did. Make a stair post sturdy again. How to do it? Here is what I did. Good luck! Purchased cover from Lowes.
Hey man I have been where you are before. Don't let these bums make you feel less than. You are doing your best with what you have and learning along the way. This video was helpful to me, keep up the good work.
Have you tried drilling little holes into the side of the nut? Then use the drill bit to turn the nut. Drill into each edge of the nut as it comes around.
Interest video. I built my stair rails years ago and they’re loosing up. I didn’t know how to access the bolts. Didn’t think about drilling the caps out. My caps are underneath and are oat so it’s tough to drill. One little tip that might help you a little bit. The screw that was too long, you could get a small hack saw and cut it down so the wrench will fit over it. Also when i built my rails, Home Depot had these brackets that screws into the post and floor and made it super staple. It came with a wood trim to hide the brackets.
This is the funniest construction video I’ve ever seen. Never thought I’d see a man hammering a screw with a socket wrench to tighten a nut. Was looking for another video but stuck around because of the comedy. Good job.
For the covers just buy a piece of oak and cut it the same diameter, stain it before, a small smear of Titebond 3 around the outside and use a rubber mallet to hammer it into place. Easy and better looking. But I guess if it comes loose all the time easier access might be worth it.

LOL!!!
Ratchet as a hammer, Allen Key as a wrench.. and 25 spanners !
This video is actual comedy genius!
Thank you!
How would you have done it Einstein?
Sorry for a the people that make fun of you and the video. It was helpful for me. Now after I know how to get to the bolts I can screw them tight :)
Great repair job..thanks for sharing!!
A professional Novice,
6 minute video, to show the world that he still has a wonky stair rail 😂
And your solution?
Wow haven’t checked the comments. Ya hilarious .. thanks for the input.. just an average guy doing what he doesn’t know and using what he has.

Next project change your smoke detector batteries and stop the chirp.... Important to use the wrench to beat the battery door closed 🤣
Had it all changed out prior. Turned out to be batteries in the carbon monoxide detector… and you would be surprised what you can do with wrenches 👍
@@projects-reviews when a man means business he uses what's at hand 😉
I like your ethical good use of tools ie ratchet hammer
Very nice video
use a dremmel to shorten the thread so you can get the spanner on

Tom Silva of Ask This Old House has done that before.
Poor guy. Good try. You guys in the comments are just cruel.

How would you fix a round newel post? It doesn't show that type of attaching system?
I’m not sure. Sometimes you just have to attempt it and. See what the outcome is.
These haters can't even say how they would have done it better. Lol
Using the rachet as a hammer?
Should of left the drywall screws in.
Now is still the 2nd best time to delete this.
