Great jig for handrail jobs 👍 #trimwork #carpentry #woodworking

What happens here

After the precise cut is made, the modified stair spindle is positioned back into its intended location under the angled handrail. The video clearly shows that the previous large, unsightly gap has been completely eliminated. The cut end of the spindle now sits flush and tight against the angled surface, resulting in a clean, professional-looking fit, demonstrating the effectiveness of the custom jig and cutting method.

Goal: Demonstrate a perfect, gap-free fit for the cut spindle.

Tools and materials

  • Angled Handrail/Stringer — The fixed surface the spindle is being fitted against
  • Cut Stair Spindle — The now perfectly fitted baluster

What they say

Hide

gap up here in the front. This is a jig we made with a couple dowels and a hold down. We just give it a cut. Pretty simple jig to [music] make. And here's the results. They say they're adjustable, but we've yet to have any that we didn't have to cut. Is this something you do?
