@@ToolReviewZone Hi Clint
that face while saying "don't worry I'll find it this spring with my mower tire!" 🤣🤣🤣. soooo true
Lmao, you know it is Kentucky 🤣🤣👊
2 years later, I have come across your video. Love the humor. You got a subscribe from me. 😄 Been searching around for the right railing to build on my mother's back porch that will limit the obstruction to the pool. By golly, I think this might be what I've been looking for. thanks a bunch for the clarity in your video.👍
Hot diggiddy doggy!!!...that looks good..👍🏻I might build me one real nass like!👍🏻
Awesomeness. Definitely let me knownif you do!!!
Thats some SHWWWEEEEET SHWEEEET Basement action!!!! its REAL NAASSS LIKE!!!
Hahaha, basement action 🤣🤣🤣
Love you too brother. Perfect description. Thank you.
My dude TJ 🙏👊👊👊

Ted… your on top of everything… all places at once 😂
@@tidebounce9149 😂🤣😂 these my favorite 2 RUclipsrs!!!
Tha ks brother man Ted 👊👊👊
Clint bro I never really appreciated how much you know when it comes to building you da man those railings look great!
Treeboss, I really appreciate that brother. I like to do vids like this, ut they never get any views 😪
@@ToolReviewZone RUclips panders to a certain demographic unfortunately and that’s certainly not real nice like but there is a lot of us out there that enjoy and appreciate the wisdom and experience you share when you make videos like this so thank you bro!
This is a great video to post😏 hopefully this will help people who get railed by those who step on people that don’t DIY.
Hahaha, my man Dan 👊
Very nice and entertaining...thanks for believing in me...I know I can do this now🎉
You got this 👊
Thank you mega 🙏 you are a true gentleman showing the demo it saved me fortune as bought the farm house n ripped out the stairs n using ladder so now i get started n all down to u bud. Cant thank you enough bought my tools on your reviews n they all awsum your the best 🎉
Thanks brother 👊 🙏
That's very niiiicce liiiiike! And on the cheap? Win win!
Michael 👊👊👊
So glad I stumbled across your videos about 6 months ago. I appreciate your honesty and the knowledge you share.
So awesome, thanks so much for the awesome words Nathan 🙏👊👊
Really Really Nass Like!!!
😎🛠️😎🛠️😎
My dude Tide, thanks brother 🙏
I was doing repairs on a restaurant and they had about 2000 ft.² of outdoor deck on the water with those cables l had to repair and tighten literally hundreds of linear feet of that same cable set up…fun. Some of the cables had too much slack to be tightened it had to be Cut and reattached so for anyone installing this system outdoors allow for the inevitable slack you will get in the future so you can tighten without having to cut and reattach. Another great video thanks!
Thanks for the comment and feedback Steffen!
Reeeeeeeeeeeeaal nass like.
I will be doing this to my deck this summer. Thanks for the tip, though it is not Tuesday.
Hahaha, it's TOOL TIP THURSDAY! YEahhhhhhh!!
Those look hot bro. I’d love to tackle some on my next 2 story flip.
Pretty simple brother. Let me know if you try them 👊
Did a great job Clint
Jamal, appreciate it brother 🙏
Clark made it look real easy because he used Makita driver bits Jamal!
@@VCGConstruction lol He pretends him and the Makita Gnome isn't best Friends 🤣 Vince
So I am a finish carpenter by trade. I normally hate DIY stuff, but this doesn't suck. Also I have used stained poplar to mimic cherry on more than a few occasions and you can't tell the difference. It is a very underrated stain grade wood. Great job man
Absolutely brother. Especially for the price wood is today! Appreciate the comment Steel Valley 🙏
More than the aesthetic aspect, Poplar is a soft wood….the only downside would be the hardness, could scratch or dent easily….so depends on the use and the budget….but anyways, having that in mind, is a very good and cheap option…..good job!
wow 2 4X4 posts wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a new house with railing done already but what a great idea thank you brother
Hahahahahaha 🤣🤣👊
Turned out awesome Clint. 👊
Thabks Impact 👊👊👊
Awesome Clint. The only thing I would do do different is I would notch out the stair tread instead of cutting around it. Then cut the post so it sets about 1/4" on tread. It will then cover up you tread cut.
Can definitely do that to Rick. My problem is, I like to measure once and cut 3 times, so I figured it would be easier to just cut a new post 🤣🤣👊
Slick Clint. Your Basement is Beautiful. RNL
Thanks brother, I truly appreciate it Marshal 🙏 "RNL" 🤣🤣👊
I liked it. I love the video. Never watched your videos but I love the personality so I’m subscribing 😂
Awesomeness!!!! Welcome to the channel Lobo!!!!!
Thank you sooooo much. I love your demo and now I definitely can do this. You rock Clint.
Thank you Mrs Elem 👊👊👊
Awesome video "you hear?" lolol. Thanks for the vid bro.
Very nice. Cable instead of spindles really open the space up. Love the these instructional videos. So much knowledge to share with the TRZ youtube nation.
My main brother man John Rice!!! Yeah buddy, it keeps it more open like you said. I actually like doing these types of videos, but they never get any views brother 😔
@@ToolReviewZone thats crazy , i love these videos.
What perfect timing, I’m just about to start my stairs! Great tutorial!!!
Awesomeness 👊
It’s real nice like! 👍
Ok I pressed the like button right thereeee
Hahahaha, Eddie 🤣👊👊
Drink every time he says ‘right heyah’ 😂
This was awesome.
Thanks Nick 👊
I love you to
Nice! Try notching the tread instead of the 4x4, looks better and keeps it stronger. Thanks for sharing!
very nice, thank you man!
Nice work
Thanks 21 👊
This was great, I'd love more videos like it
Well I said, “YEESS, because I love my subscribers!” Soo funny
But true 💪💪💪
@@ToolReviewZone I love the personality you bring to the videos. Straight to the point but still bias opinions with funny comments!
That looks awesome, I want to do this at my mom's house
Let me knowbhowbit comes out Kristian! 👊👊
One question, do the rails sag or feel bouncy only having two attachment points
@@ToolReviewZone will do indeed
You can tighten them down pretty tight. It's actually to the point it sounds like a bass 🤣
@@ToolReviewZone awesome, if it can played the Seinfeld them then I'm sold
I might have sub’d but hearing the way you talk right “heaha” made me want to drive a nail through my ear right “heaha”.
Great video !!!!!
More Projects. There "Real Nass Like"!!!
Hahaha, you got it Joe!!!
Good job Clint. So easy you can do it without the use of Vance's safety swim goggles.
Hahahaha, Vance Phelps 😎🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok Clark I smeessed it
Hahaha, tha ks for the SMEEESH Eddie 🤣👊👊
best cable railing DIY. Most of them are the crappy "buy this kit and watch me install" type video.
Clint, can you come to New Jersey and do my staircase? :D
Hahaha, I'm buying a ticket as we speak Ron 🤣👊👊
@@ToolReviewZone We live less than 2 miles from the beach and that's real nice like for Memorial Day Weekend with all them sweet, sweet ladies in bikini's!
Cuz, what's your thoughts on using the cable system as a hanger in closets, the garage or garden shed? Always looking for ways to get stuff up in the air nice like.
Hahaha, not a bad idea though 🤣
Hi Clint 👍
What's up Jeremy!!!
@@ToolReviewZone how are you
Smeeesh that like button 👀👉🏼 👍🏽 cause it's real nasss like yes indeed, for those who are looking for a crimper like that, it's called a swaging crimper.
My dude, thanks for the info and SMEEESH Jason!!!!
@@ToolReviewZone I have a $200 swaging crimper that I bought about 17 years ago.
Really good work! Vince couldn’t do that as well !
Hahaha, Pete, I asked him to help and bought pizza. He came over, ate all the pizza and left 😪
Can I use the existing frame of the staircase and just remove the railings ? I want to keep the wood posts on each side and just replace the balusters with the cable railings ? Also
Is a metal post necessary to secure the cable wires ?
After seeing this.. i have decided I need a link to buy premade 😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✔️
I can’t find any Mazuta adjustable brackets available, does anyone know a good alternate?
Can you do this to metal post
❤
Not knowing where you live, maybe your codes are different. But the open space between either vertical or horizontal balusters/pickets/cables should be a maximum of 4". In fact, a building inspector will sometimes carry a 4" diameter ball with him and use it to check the spacing. If the ball goes through the space, you fail the inspection. Otherwise, it looks good.
In my area code for cable railing spacing is 3", deflection in the cables is the reason given,
I my only thing is that the one time I dealt with those things it was a disaster cedar and wire indoors
To meet code, the spacing between the cable runs need to be 4" apart.
why do you not make tool tip tuesday videos clint??
No one was watching them Oocheshoek 😪 Sorta like this video 🤣
I wouldn't DIY stainless cable. If you want a low profile, horizontal metal look - do stainless tubes. You can get them in 1/2" diameter. They're extremely easy to cut and work with. They're far cheaper than SS cable. And you can get tube painted or powder coated in a variety of colors. Easy install, drill the newels and glue the tubes right into the end newels or walls, and balusters for intermediate support.
To get the cables tight enough to avoid deflection (that will either fail code inspection or the reason for code itself - it'd be extremely dangerous to young children) you've got to tighten them down to where there's around 2000 - 3000 lbs of force on the attached surface. Ask yourself this, would you hang something that's 2000 - 3000 lbs off of your newel/wall? If the answer is no, don't do cable.
The spacing and cable tensing has to be precise. you don't want a child forcing their head through the cables getting choked, because you want a cool look on a budget. The cables loosen up over time, and the deflection gets worse. The professional contractors that install these system use specialized tools to make sure the tensioning is done properly. And the systems are generally designed by an engineer.
Another hazard if you go with cheapo cable fittings, and you DO happen to tighten the cable down enough. Then you've got a stainless cable under high tension, with shotty fittings, waiting to break and whip around. Anyone that knows about high tension cables knows how dangerous that is.
There's also the issue of cable tensioning destroying cheap metal newels like the ones shown in the video. When tightened to code, the cable can bow wood handrails and bend cheap metal top mount brackets. So if you go with stainless cable & cheap metal newels, you're setting yourself up for bad cable deflection. Because you won't be able to tension the cable enough without destroying your newels or rail.
Stainless cable is alot like roofing or AC electrical. Just let someone do it that knows what they're doing, or use an alternative that you can DIY.
Every 4x4 costs $10k right? So glad I live in a single story house with no basement!!
Walk around barefoot - you’ll find the screw!😱
Hahaha, I will definitely find it one way or the other. As for the 4x4 cost, it was actually 10k, but I only wrote the check for $30 and ran like hell Mark 👊👊👊🤣🤣
Is this code legal?
Good stuff, but why did you have to tell me 20 times that the stuff I need is in the description. Just once woulda been enough.
Too bad it doesn’t pass code.
Be very careful with these style of horizontal rails they are a climbing ladder for toddlers and there have been multiple serious injuries recorded because little kids do not understand the drop on the other side, I really think this style should be outlawed.
I could understand on a straight run like on a de6, but no water they could climb this as the slant is just to steep for them to do so
@@ToolReviewZone yes straight runs just keep a close eye on the little ones they can be up and over before you realize it
How’s it going Brother
Great video my mate great step my step instructions … you could say REAL NASS LIKE & iv SMEESED that like button 🪚🤪👍🍺 thanks Clint
My brother man Carl, tha ks for the SMEEESH brother 👊👊👊
Clint these cables are really popular now I have made templates so it’s even easier to do my layout …. Customers can have coated cables also if they have pets or kids ✌🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🪚🔨
Great feedback Fred. They are definitely getting popular, and that's a great idea for pets brother 👊👊
Naslak 😁😃✍🤌
