Stiff Drink Needed

[cadas]

Having just spent a couple of days fitting a double staircase in an old mill, we were just sweeping up and generally hanging around with that 'where's me cheque' look when the owner came up and said...

" love the staircase, so does the wife, but.... she really wanted fluted newels, you couldn't just put a couple of flutes on each face and perhaps chamfer the corners could you"

All TEN, I repeat TEN newels, all now fixed, with balusters and handrails.

I did it, but am now clinging for dear life to a bottle of red wine until the shaking stops.

Dont you just love it when people change thier mind once you have finished what they asked for

[sainty]

How did you manage to flute the face facing the spindles?

[jfc]

I wouldnt normally flute that face .

On the other three faces .

Don't normally flute the face where the handrail comes in, didn't this time.

It was a bit stressful, I only had an old draper 1/4 inch router and a quick home made fence.
