Hello again,
I have posted an article on curved stair techniques here:

Since it tough to make it so need more effort.

Hello Ron,
Thanks for your comment. I have several methods of making curved rails. The method I use depends on the type of rail that I want to build.
I use a mix of solid and laminated techniques that I have put together for practicability.
I have found that traditional techniques of solid tangent railing are not the fastest nor the easiest way to build geometrical rails so I have tried to find ways that enable me to use modern technology and materials to builder rails faster and easier.

Although each technique would require several pages of text to explain in detail, I’ll write an article to present my different techniques.

all the best

Thanks for that little tip on cutting winders with that jig. I love jigs always did. Our on site construction isn’t the same as I have seen on your video, but the jig will work for me. I also would be interested in hearing about your method of building the twisted geometrical rails.
Thank You

Hi Arien,
Thanks for your comment. I have also used a radial arm saw for cutting risers but have in the end found the portable saw and jig faster, mainly because oI find it easier to align quickly and with precision the cutting edge. But of course this is just my personal preference as mitre saws also work.
All the best

your other idea is interesting ….
i have used a straight edge for years….on finding my winder edges…
but an interesting way you showed….i`ll keep it in mind for the future…

The greatist difficulities I run into is in making twisted/decending railing parts. espically those with a lot of fine/ deep detail.

Hello Alick,
Thanks for your comment. I have some simple methods of making twisted geometrical handrails. I could write some article on this topic if it is of interest to you.
Just let me know and I try to post more information on this subject.

All the best
Ness
