This is actually a refreshing clip because you don’t spend much time talking shite and you actually know what you are doing and have made a good job. Good effort.
i am a new home owner and don't know much about carpentry. you make it seem so easy. your video was the easiest ones and loved the easy way instead of using so many different tools. i was looking at this video due to i will be changing my upstairs landing rail. we just finished the attic framing to build a room. i would love to see some attic projects on an old home.
Made it look so simple, you have inspired me. I'll be trying this at home. I would love for you to show hand rails and spiral installation.....as clear as the posts.
Thank you!! Haven’t done these in a minute and I have an upcoming side job to replace a whole railing system. Thanks for the refresh on how to do the newels!
Anthony, Thanks for making videos. As a carpenter myself, I know the headache of trying to record yourself on a job not to mention the time suck it can be. I don't know your work habits but please get off the ground when working. I'm guilty of not bringing saw horses to a job too, but have since made it a rule to keep a pair in the work van. If you have to work low wear knee pads. The best you can afford. Your knees and back will thank you down the road. Best, Dennis
I'm 36 and have been in construction since age 17. Not since the last 5 years did I use knee pads and also ear muffs. Makes life a lot easier. Especially ear muffs. So good advice
Very good. I'm trying my best to work out how to install a newel post at the top of some stairs I'm fitting and this was very useful. But you make everything seem so easy!
This may be a stupid comment, but watching you make all those cuts and then hammer them out... it just seems like it would have been faster to use a hand saw. Maybe one cross cut with the circular saw, and then a rip saw to finish it. Would also be less messy.
Are they Painting the posts? Just trying to figure out why oak plugs were used on a poplar (appears to be) post? Also makes me think that painting was the finish called for bc the "flush saw" blade generally leaves burn marks and abrasions.
how strong would you say the posts were? do they have to secure to the wall or do you think two with a handrail in between could support a leaning weight?
They were super strong, they have to be or someone can fall if they don’t hold up. You don’t have to secure them to a wall but they at minimum have to be anchored to the floor with a newel post rod and/or brackets.
TomKaren94 if they’re getting painted then it won’t matter to them but if their being stained, you’d have to attach them with the right angle metal plates that are made to sit under the flooring. You can also anchor a post to the subfloor and remove the post bottom to expose the hollow portion and slip it over with glue and more discrete fasteners.
Ok, here are the pics. www.dropbox.com/sh/mneu3kns2k94g3h/AAANDUwtEkC1IInAr5N2Hskoa?dl=0 The question is two part. 1. I'm remodeling my foyer, these stairs used to be carpet. I understand I will remove the existing treads, do I need to remove these risers? That would be such a pain but it's plywood obviously so I can't paint these and have them look good. So I ordered primed risers. Part 2. The tough one. Pictured is my old newel that currently sits on one of two winder stairs, these are 3 inches, my new posts are 4.25. What is the best practice here. The existing post doesn't even sit far enough in either, they pretty much hacked these when building. Thanks so much. Your video is the only one of like 4 videos for installing newels that makes sense. Appreciate it.
@@DontJudasMe really? Because after more than 7 years, the client’s still have them in the same exact spot I installed them. And yes, they are still strong as ever.
battlefield/socom ps when I narrate over the video, I try to be clear and concise because some people are telling me that I speak to fast or they can’t understand my accent. Plus I’m speaking through a microphone on those parts.
Doc Ash yes, yes, I know, it’s hard to remember what your saying while you’re trying to work, make a video and explain everything unscripted. Can’t be perfect all the time lol...

Thanks for the video ...looks like something an Italian would do. They build them sturdy.
love your videos - one thing- putting a tv above the fireplace is bad ergonomics. Bad for your neck unless you are using a pull down mount
Stephen Greco thanks but it’s not my house, the clients make the decisions.
Right after I got here I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup.
I had to live the rest if my life like a snook 😂
Now, that's my language. Can't wait for that fireplace project.
Rodgen Hope it's gonna be a huge build. Stay tuned
***** With you we always tuned.
Rodgen Hope thanks, good to hear
Anthony Scolaro
Such good job I watched your other videos and very nice. Wish you lived closer to Chicago area would hire you in a heart beat. Thanks for the videos .
Efron J. Thank you, I appreciate it and thanks for watching!
Fantastic and Neat nice work
your work looks very good, nice job
This video was immense helping me with my attic posts.
nice vid l learned something-----by the way, watch the vid again, those are lag screws not lag bolts-----keep up the good work
nice your work a question That type of post is always 48 inches or depends on the type of stairs
Good stuff man. That fireplace job has my attention.
Pathfinder thanks, and definitely tune in for the upcoming fireplace surround build
wish you had a following video also for railing and balusters.
The client had an iron worker do an iron railing and balusters.
nice job,,,with those post being hollow did you beef up with some inside backing or just bolt the back side against riser with a socket extension
Are they Painting the posts? Just trying to figure out why oak plugs were used on a poplar (appears to be) post? Also makes me think that painting was the finish called for bc the "flush saw" blade generally leaves burn marks and abrasions.
Matthew Gillane they painted them white, I just had a small piece of oak dowel laying around my shop for a while so I used it up
Dude come to my house.. Great job! Just what i need.
Good looking posts you made
Very nice work.
nice work Anthony, looks real solid.
harold daniels thank you
I liked his speed. Easy to follow if you have some experience. Thanks

Nice work very neatly done.

Barry Roberts thank you
I am also a carpenter. I'm interested in your work and I also want to learn from you nice your work
Scammer! Beware!
I would have cut out the drywall and glued it wood to wood. Its not going to do much glued to drywall.
It’s been there and solid as ever for over 4 years.
Looks good
Looks good.
What if the owner doesn't want the giant dowel plugs? How do you attach it then?
TomKaren94 if they’re getting painted then it won’t matter to them but if their being stained, you’d have to attach them with the right angle metal plates that are made to sit under the flooring. You can also anchor a post to the subfloor and remove the post bottom to expose the hollow portion and slip it over with glue and more discrete fasteners.
I kind of like it I think the through Rod is better
I need these for my house in Chicago 😢
Thanks for uploading video. Just too quick for me and needed more closeup shots .
Dude, I need your opinion on a newel post install on a winder. Struggling. Can you help me? Just need advice.
Dan sure, I’ll try. Send me pics and try to explain the problem
@@AnthonyScolaro1 man your the best. How can I send you the pics?
Standby I'll send a link

Great video man. Thanks
Well done
Beautiful works
Gamal Tawfik thank you
this is awesome!! good stuff brother
Good grief.... wish you lived in Idaho after seeing how mine were installed in a $750,000 custom home
No this what he do is hack work. If yours is worse at 750K what is going on? Probably I should specialize in stairs.
There’s nothing left for strength after those cuts
@@DontJudasMe really? Because after more than 7 years, the client’s still have them in the same exact spot I installed them. And yes, they are still strong as ever.
Great job!
The KY Woodsman thank you
at 3;36 I am thinking you mean you want the post to be "Plumb" not level ........
What size lag bolts did you use?
Mr. upload a video on a round staircase
is this realtime or speeded up?
Daemiex some of the footage is sped up to keep the video within certain parameters
Watching this video now so I can install mine

Dude you are changing your accent . Are you the same person talking over the video?
battlefield/socom ps when I narrate over the video, I try to be clear and concise because some people are telling me that I speak to fast or they can’t understand my accent. Plus I’m speaking through a microphone on those parts.
@@AnthonyScolaro1 i understand. Lol, I took me a while to get it. Are you in the u.s?
battlefield/socom ps yes, New York
@@AnthonyScolaro1 oh, ok. Im a carpenter myself and you do a good job. First video of yours i seen so far and you look like u know what you are doing
awesomeness!
Charles Holland thanks, glad you liked it
Grate job
I notice a Kentucky accent.....
Why 42”? Is that code?
Because it's 34-38" from the edge of the run
He took my hair and he hits it? Why's he got to hit me in my hair?
Impossible to hear in that echo chamber
