Well, weve got a new handrail out front ... Sam had a request from a client for railings like this and we werent sure on the technique of sweeping horizontal bends so I decided a prototype would be a good addition to our entrychoice. We also had a friend come by with her 92 year old mother and her exit from the front porch with no handrail was sort of terrifying ... Anychoice, its up there ... looks good ... interesting process ... Click the photos to enlarge them ... Its got a certain welcoming feeling ... First cut every couple of inches until what youre bending is essentially a piece of square stock ... Fill in the resulting spaces with weld, grind and smooth. Repeat for the second layer... make the upsweep, figure out the length of the support Make a jig to weld it to the horizontals and whip up some brackets ... prime, paint, drill a hole and install it using some epoxy stuff from the lumber yard ... Ill post the name of it here later but it was pretty slick stuff. Hardened up just like the stone and is the same color too ...
