Hi@@adamandlorraine , yes that’s exactly why I just glue them. I prefer PVA glue however I have used mitre mate before. Thanks for watching.

As usual great video and it's always nice to see other builders' methods My first few months in the trade i got the job of fitting spindles, with no idea how to do it. The way i've always worked out spacing for spindles is overall length divide 100mm (spacing) and 40mm or 30mm (spindle). So 3164mm divide 130mm = 24.3 spindles ( so 25 ) 25(spindles) x 30mm(thickness) = 750mm 3164mm -750mm = 2415mm 2145mm / 26 spaces = 92.8mm spacers Stop block on the chopsaw and measuring every now and again to check the spacing is correct, with 92.8mm + 30mm = 122.8mm, then just the 122.8mm times table on the calculator lol

Not sure if i'm more impressed by Dans knowledge and skills or his blind over shoulder throws! 10/10

I thought i was being fancy when i bought myself an extra quick clamp today, i didn't need it but thought it'll be handy one day. I've got 4 now. 😂

My dad was a woodworking machinist, retiring in 1975, so old school. He could turn his hand to most things carpentry & joinery. He fitted new sticks/ spindles to our balustrade, raking & horizontal. He turned the spindles & made spacers (imperial units) from PSE softwood. I don't recall how he measured it all out but I can't fault it, even today.

Load of top tips there - wish I'd seen Dan in action a few years ago when I was putting 'sticks' in my staircase, it would have saved me a load of grief!! Thank you

Very nice. Have done many sets of stairs just like those.

I'm not dan but I can answer for him it's because the bottom spacers are soft wood and the pin holes will be filled and then painted were as the top spacers are of same material as the handrail probably oak and he doesn't want pin holes showing as the handrail will more than likely just have a clear sealer or oiled etc.but to be honest most chippies will still pin them as we don't usually have that amount of clamps at hand so will just be filled with an oak coloured wax or filler.

Could you not lay out the sticks side by side, mark the face side and measure across them to get the total thickness.
