    As an architect, just wanted to weigh in and say very nicely done. Guys like you make us look good... and literally, without you, we would not be able to achieve anywhere near the same result. Thank you for your expertise and all the unpaid hours you've invested in order to gain it. And thank you for all the times you've educated an architect on your craft.

    Would have to be one of the most precise handrails I’ve seen 😳
    Very clever with using those short sections of tube to hold the main rail. Welding the whole tube would have caused a lot of distortion.

    I did this stuff for 40+ years but retired a couple years ago. I now do all my fabrication vicariously through you! Ha! This is exceptional work, and watching your work processes and attention to detail is very refreshing in this “hurry up and finish” world we live in! Congrats! Something that surprised me was the corners. I’ve had guard railing jobs failed by building inspectors (I’m in NC) because the top rail was not continuous in the 90 degree corners like yours! Had to go back in and connect it all! B I’s are a pain in the ass on the east coast! They said after the fact that if a certified engineer drew up prints showing it non continuous, then it would be fine!!

      Buy five gallon pails. You're going to use it anyway. Your $2.50 bottles are about $20 a gallon. Not horrible, not great either. Five gallons of Sunnyside is about $80... frequently less than that. Also ensures that it is 100% acetone.
