You're welcome. Thank you for this comment. Cheers, Scott

@@thawillyfish Thank you Martha! I haven’t had a comment like this before! It’s interesting work. Meticulous stuff. I do enjoy it but sometimes it’s nice to do something like framing that doesn’t take so long. Thank you for the comment. Cheers, Scott

@@sashan1281 Thank you for the very encouraging comment! I appreciate that very much. Glad the video was helpful. Cheers, Scott

@@timothysmith3348 Thank you Timothy!

Thank you for the comment. Yes I've found no irritation on the back of my knee from the Troxells. (And I have noticed that with the other knee pads for sure!) I've been using The Troxells for several hours continuously too. Cheers, Scott

Now that is funny!

That's ideal that your employer pays for them. I had those clear ones for quite some time before the tabs broke off. I can't seem to find them anymore. Thank you for commenting. Scott

They were a good purchase. Thank you for your advice! Scott

Thank you. Glad the video was helpful. Scott

I think it would support it. But depending on the bracing you have on the table it may wiggle over time. Worth trying for sure. Thanks, Scott

Hi Paul, I have never used my Invis on white oak. Only red. I did notice heat when I first used the bit and I believe there is some break-in process required. I use a silicone spray on my bit regularly. And I plunge in-and-out with the bit as I go. If your bit is shot then you should contact the supplier. I am going to do a review on the Invis at some point and I will be making suggestions. I do think it's a good piece of equipment but I believe some improvements are in order. I had a really good relationship with the Canadian Lamello rep but he has since retired. It might be worthwhile finding out who the rep is for your region and reaching out to them. Regards, Scott

Thank you! I hope you watch more. Cheers, Scott

Thank you and glad you found the channel. I guess I have a clone out there! I appreciate the encouragement. Cheers, Scott

Simply search "Handrail installation for homeowners" and you will get several.

Let's hope so! Thank you so much Dominic! Comments like this will certainly help. 🙏 Cheers, Scott

Thank you Rick! I'm still 64 for another three weeks. Then the wheels fall off apparently. Cheers, Scott

I love that expression about "skinning a cat." It's one my Dad uses all the time and I get a chuckle out of it very time. I do have videos on the method you suggest. Here is one you can check out if you like. Thank you for commenting, Scott ua-cam.com/video/3oTuyRfThUc/v-deo.html

@@DaleDansie Great question Dale. Without seeing pictures I will assume you have a landing at the turn? If so, transition to a level piece of railing before you make the turn and do a 45 on the level piece (level piece to level piece). Compound angle cuts on railings rarely work out because of the contours of the rail. If this doesn’t work or make sense drop me an email. Cheers Scott

You're welcome. I hope it works out. Scott

Thank you for taking the time to drop me such a detailed comment with all these tips. I like them all. Screwing the stringer to the tread makes a lot of sense, as does the band saw idea and the grinder. I've seen those cordless Dewalt bandsaws and I think there'd be other applications for that tool as well as your idea. I have that battery platform already. Of course there are times when I don't have my Burn-One handy so burning 10 makes sense too. One of the things I love about connecting with other makers through my channel is that I am also learning lots as well. Cheers, Scott P.S. Where are you located?

@@scottearlsmithFTC I'm in southeast Michigan. You've shared a lot in your videos that have been helpful to me, so I like to share back. Never know if someone can use it. Recently I picked up an aftermarket cordless hot glue gun that takes DeWalt batteries. I have yet to use it on the job, but I plan on incorporating it in my work flow like you do when doing stairs. Don't know why I never thought of that. Right now I'm working on building a custom tapered newel to go in a Arts & Crafts home built in 1929. The stairs is small, but there's also a big mantel, with an over mantel, built in bookcases and cove molding on the walls. I did a LOT of research in designing everything. Trying to keep it historically accurate as much as possible.

@@t.e.1189 That sounds like a very interesting project with the newel and mantel. Closest thing I did to that was trim work, mantel and window seats on a home built around that time frame. I used rough-sawn 4/4 red oak and milled them up in my thickness planer and saw to a finished 9" wide. Then a shoe mould along the floor. Doors had the plinth blocks and the header with bead and crown. The mantel and window seats were more contemporary. This was all before I got onto UA-cam so no videos of that. I appreciate all the tips. I have seen guys on UA-cam with the hot glue gun. I'd be interested in a link to that item. I have fly fished the Pere Marquette, and Ausable Rivers in Michigan. Not sure if they're near where you are from. Cheers, Scott

Hahaha. Good one. Hey there are bridges that collapsed that met code. So there's hope for you. Cheers, Scott

@@SusanFrerichs-n5u Wow Susan! Just the encouragement I needed. I was just contemplating the whole practicality of the UA-cam journey. It’s a lot of work and a slow climb in the first several years with little benefit at times. I will keep going though. I enjoy passing on what I’ve learned over the years - many of which came from making mistakes. Encouragement like this is what keeps me going. Thank you, Scott

@@MrRustyjackson Thanks Jay. I used to think the folding ruler was a thing of the past. Just like hand planes and other old-school tools. But they do have a place and there was a reason our Dads owned and used these tools. That said, my Dad gave me an old cast iron black and decker drill (older than me) with a rigged light switch on the cord. My cheeky response to this gift was, “Gee Dad. Is this part of my inheritance?” Good to hear from you! Scott

@@energyflowswhereattentiongoes Thank you so much. Yah that old Makita chop saw is circa 1986. Weighs a ton but won’t quit. Cheers, Scott

@@jpdthe3rd thank you Jessie! Glad to have you on board. So many little things we do that make a big difference in time and quality. Where do you operate? Cheers Scott

@@scottearlsmithFTC San Mateo California! I do things a differently, much more of a classic approach and what I have at my disposal. I don't have the time or space to make videos. I also work in a much more production oriented environment

@@jpdthe3rd Very interesting. Sounds like I could learn a few things from you for sure. I enjoy the filming and editing process but probably couldn't do it if I was working in that kind of environment. It takes a lot of time and consistency - and it's really a long game to get where you can actually see any financial benefits. I think you're wise to keep at what you're doing. Cheers, Scott

That is the Lamello Invis. Check out the videos on my channel on this magnetic joinery system. Thank you, Scott ua-cam.com/play/PLUBalg95MClB4VeNIXirM7dnr108b-S61.html

@@earnestharvey2389 yes it does. All stairs have the same principles. Thank you for your comment. Scott

It's distributed by Finitec. The same company that makes the clear coating. Here is a link: www.finitec-inc.com/en/products/details/finish-applicator-11 Thanks for commenting. Scott

@@d.a.veneziano9651 If you mean the stair nosings on the original stairs, the best thing to do is cut them off flush and then add the new treads over top. Hope this helps, Scott

Thank you for the nice comment. Cheers, Scott

Better late than never they say! Glad to have you aboard. Enjoy the channel. The bit I am using is a freud rabbeting bit set. Here is the link. Cheers Scott www.freudtools.com/products/32-522

Thank you. I will look into that today. My friend has some he might be selling. Cheers, Scott

P.S. Are yours from Collins Tool? collinstool.com/tools/bunny-planes-full-set/

@@scottearlsmithFTC Indeed they are.

@@wessm3407 I will add them to my wish list. Just bought a Lie-Nielsen rabbet block plane so I have to save up for the bunny’s.

That is absolutely correct. I will mention that in one of my videos. Thank you for the comment and the encouragement. Scott

why is a 5/8 inch hole drilled into the bottom of the newel post when the zipbolt is only 1/2 inch diameter. Shouldn't the hole be 1/2 inch? Thanks LM

@@LawrenceMathon Basically I am following the instructions that come with the Zipbolt. I believe it is meant for ease in installation and to allow for micro adjustments on the install. If you drilled a half-inch hole you’d be threading the post onto the rod which is not how this system works. Thank you for the comment. Scott

This video will explain the easing: ua-cam.com/video/ypakOiREKhg/v-deo.html Watch the rest of the videos in that series to see how it came together: ua-cam.com/play/PLUBalg95MClAuYPRINbMAvcSpfk4QHYgr.html Hope that helps, Scott

The Angled slip fix rail bolt is designed for the top railing joint. I would not use it for the bottom. Cheers, Scott

Good luck with your project Tim. Glad the video boosted your confidence. Cheers, Scott

Old underwear jokes very get old. Thanks Jen. Glad you liked the video, Scott

I'm glad the video was helpful. Thank you for the encouraging comment. I'm sure your stairs will turn out great no matter what brand of tools you are using! Cheers, Scott

Yes I'd say so. Festool blades are not cheap either. Thanks for commenting. Cheers, Scott

Thanks for dropping this note Paul. Where I am in Ontario 1-inch nosing is now the standard so I don't see any reason why you can't do 1-1/8". My inclination would be to remove that 1/4" nosing on the existing stairs. But I think once you get going you will know whether than is necessary or not. I'm sure it will work out great. Cheers, Scott

Thank you Sir Rick! Cheers, Scott

Hahaha. I love this comment. Thank you very much. Very encouraging. Cheers, Scott

Thank you once again for the encouragement. You're right math doesn't lie. Hope you're doing well. God bless, Scott
