Decorative veneers are expensive and take some time to glue up so it&#8217;s always good to know that the forms have not been pulled out of shape during the first stages where the original foot print was still very fragile.<\/p><p>This handrail will receive several layers of decorative 2mm walnut veneers to build up a sufficient thickness to accept a 10mm deep moulding.<\/p><p>To apply the veneers I use some special clamps made from sections cut from a square metal tube. The tube is drilled to receive a 8mm bolt that presses all the laminates together while maintaining alignment.<\/p><p>These clamps are mainly use when I make handrails using my twisted laminates technique. See this article for more information on these techniques:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/how-to-build-curved-stairs\/\">How to build curved stairs and handrails<\/a><\/p><p>These clamps&nbsp; also come in handy for gluing veneers on any square shaped part.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/clip_image0021.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/clip_image002_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"clip_image002\" title=\"clip_image002\"\/><\/a><\/figure><p>I always have several sizes ready and I never have enough of them!<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/clip_image0041.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/clip_image004_thumb1.jpg\" alt=\"clip_image004\" title=\"clip_image004\"\/><\/a><\/figure><p>Here&#8217;s a quick video that shows the progression of operations.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wooden Handrail on Metal Rail Part 2\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/92045580?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/wooddesigner.org\/how-to-build-a-wreathed-hand-rail-on-a-metallic-rail-3rd-part\/\">next article<\/a> I\u2019ll show how the face veneers are added and moulded.<\/p><p>I\u2019ll also be adding all the straight and no wreathed sections to finish off the job.<\/p><p>Hope this has been interesting for you.<\/p><p>Please leave a comment to tell me what you think.<\/p><p>All the best<\/p><p>Ness<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the second article on building irregularly curved handrails on metallic rails.
