Nice, watched several videos and some how the one without verbal explanation was the best 👌
Good video. Some measures, cut depth and bit sizes would make it great.
Yes, the curved surface of the nut should face outward (that's why it has the 1" radius to match the hole), however you can install the nut facing either way in that hole and it'll work out fine.
One very important thing to keep in mind about handrail components is that the different manufacturers use templates/cutters that aren't always identical even though the style number is the same. In other words, the profile of one component may not match another exactly. Roy's parts happened to match. That is not always the case.
So, for example, if you're planning to connect a volute to an up easing (which is pretty common), make sure the profiles of those cut ends are as closely matched as possible before drilling/cutting anything. I had to try three different parts sources before I found railing components that were close enough in their profile to be acceptable.
This occurs because every retailer and wholesaler of stair components sources different components from different manufacturers. Some of the dimensions from one manufacturer to another -- for the same exact style railing -- can vary easily by as much as 3/16". Nuts i know. I learned this the hard way. You do not want to have to sand, file and fill railing parts to attempt to make them look like they belong together. The result will look poor, especially if you're staining and not painting the railing.
Match your parts end to end for the entire railing before you begin assembly!
Works a lot better if you have the right wrench... a rail bolt wrench is thin and has a skinny neck so you get more distance per turn. On some wrenches like LJ Smith, you can also hook the nut onto the wrench with the rubber band that is included... so that you can spin it onto the threads easier.
very usefull thanks mate
Robert Schutte, you are correct, I originally thought he installed it backwards also, but looking at the video more closely it does have two curved sides. Nice catch!
Kinda neat,but if you(or get someone to),take a fender washer with an I.D. just a hair larger than the stud,and have someone weld a tube(maybe 1in. or so long),that has also has an I.d. that clears the stud,you'd have an awful handy tool to make sure the hole/stud gets started straight every time,so the joints get even pressure.Hope this tip helps!
Classical.
Thx for the video but the “ZIPBOLT” connecting bolt is easier to use because it tightens with a hex head driver, so you don’t have to fuss with getting the small nut onto the bolt after it’s in the hole or using a wrench to tighten it.
You need to try using Spring-Bolt railing hardware
Yes -- clamp pieces down before drilling. It's safer, and you can concentrate on drilling straight !
At least this guy applied glue to both surfaces; especially important on end-grain joints . . .
Man time to get a ratcheting wrench! Time is money!
+JDT738126 Maybe it wouldn't fit in the pocket hole drilled.
+John McClelland yeah maybe, either way it's a great product my rail came out like a seasoned veteran did it
the washer is installed correct, it has two curved faces
Looks like he installed the curved washer backwards because he made a much larger hole than it requires so he could wrench it on. It's almost impossible otherwise.
boy, what a slo-poke!
Hey guys, Thats a good video here. The most useful woodworking plans that I have ever used was Toms Magic Wood (i found it on google). Without a doubt it contains the most helpful woodworking projects that I have ever tried.
no mention of the measurements for the holes

If you still need it
@@YooItsAlexx I did thank you!!
zip bolt about 3$
A great variety of designs is on the Stodoys plans website.
I bought plans from Woodglut and did it very quickly.
man,are you trying to hurt some one?? never,ever drill unclamped wood pieces,use a vice,or at the very least,clamp it down, people look for "how to" on you tube,you cannot be showing it done like that!!
