I've let this sit idle for awhile. I will be milling some Pine logs this weekend, drying and stacking the lumber, to build the handrail for the loft finally. Anybody got any cool designs for handrail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you hiding that '87-91 Bronco? It's not in your sig, either! I designed this using Dassault Systemmes DraftSight & had the panels plasma-cut locally. Lisa & I (mainly she) hand-sanded all the edges smooth; then I belt-sanded them (for the brushed look), welded them to the top & bottom strips, clearcoated them, and assembled them onto the stainless tubes (which I hand-cut & then clearcoated): https://supermotors.net/getfile/1103779/thumbnail/img_20170119_132111749_hdr.jpg That's the last pic in the process - this is the first: https://supermotors.net/getfile/1102482/thumbnail/img_20170104_164618141.jpg The plan for the actual wood handrail was always to use cedar that grew on our property, but I haven't found anyone yet who will mill a log or 2 for me down to the size I need. That's why we still have the cheap undersized painted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve83 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Beautiful handrails, Steve! Thanks. The first furniture we bought together was a bed frame with reddish-stained wood, and a gently-curving brushed nickel tube as an accent on the headboard. So that became our motif throughout the house: a brushed-nickel/stainless curve/ellipse, and cedar-red wood. When I designed this house, I couldn't find any banister that looked the way we wanted; and the finish-carpenter was going to charge a ridiculous price to build something from cheap wood. So I came up with a few ideas, and we picked that one: overlapping ellipses. They're sized & spaced to meet the building codes (height of the handrail above the stairs, and no gap in the balusters large enough for a 2" sphere to pass through). The other pics in that photo album show the rest of the house. The first few dozen show the fixtures & materials we chose, ending with the floorplan that I sent to the architect. Then there are a whole bunch of construction pics, that are pretty boring. But the ~2-dozen after the banister are the last few things being finished up, and the "completed" house (if there is such a thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
