This is the best tutorial on this subject that I've seen on KZread and I've watched a lot. I'm rebuilding my front porch railings and posts myself and have never attempted this type of a project. Seeing how you fastened the balusters to top & bottom strips first and then attached the assembly to the top & bottom rails was very helpful.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzread.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

There is literally NO other tutorial that explains the process of building a deck railing using nail strips in as much detail as you do. I have been researching for weeks and have watched countless videos on the subject matter and there is only 1 other video by This Old House that kindaaa explains the process but not like you!!! THANK YOU!!!! Every detail was exactly what I needed in order to obtain the knowledge I need to make the best possible railing for a client. Seriously, I can’t say thank you enough!!! Don’t ever stop making videos like this! You’re amazing! 😁 *definitely subscribing after watching that

This beats the hell out of those old home improvement TV shows that make everything look way easier and faster than reality. I love your pacing and level of detail. Very nice.

Thank you :)

We built this railing on our new build farmhouse. It was inexpensive and exactly what we were looking for. It’s very sturdy but not too bulky looking. We purchased all of our wood, and fortunately, the painters will caulk and paint it all! You made it look easy and it really was. Love it! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Your home is beautiful by the way.

I respect the heck out of you John for putting in the effort to use reclaimed decking on this project. Alot of people wouldn't do that, but I love it. Turned out great.

gotta love free lumber feels good making soemthing from nothing

Wonderful work simple clean and looks amazing.

Your attention to detail, by putting in the work necessary, is a credit to the beauty of the end product!

4 years latter and it’s still helping others . Thanks for the share, lots of love Australia

The whole house exterior is looking really good. Nice design, love the color scheme, and very nice craftsmanship. Love watching this channel.

I love those hues of green. So cozy looking.

I am so glad I found your Channel. I have to rebuild my outdoor banister which is rotten and I've never done anything like this before. I'm so glad I found a Craftsman like you who is meticulously perfect , wish me luck!!!

House has a thousand percent more character than when you started. You really made that place nice. Nice work

Knowledge +skill + flawless execution + excellent detailed explanation. BRAVO. LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED.

as a fellow wood worker it is so nice there is a person like you showing people how easy it is to make railings .pure talent

Just found this video, fantastic job and looks great, ive had to rip all our porch railings off as they were rotten after 16 yrs. Have to replace them next spring, this is exactly how i will do it. Thanks so much for the video.

High quality and aesthetically pleasing . Thank you for your lessons.You are a true master!.I learn a lot from you.

Great job John, you prove that great preparation of a job gives great results. Very nice detail in the porch posts too. Thanks

Fantastic looking railing from mostly free used lumber! I love getting building materials for free too!

I admire your attitude as much as your building skills and knowledge.

Skilled work, patience, and endurance = beautiful result.

Awesome build !! Just what I was looking for. I’m rebuilding my Mums front porch railing in a few months and like with all new projects, research before I start. Thankyou for such a simple explanation and it was like I guessed tbh - it’s the detail in the prep work that makes or breaks any new piece. Time consuming? Yup. Worth it? Absolutely ! Your vids are just brilliant - thanks again 👍👍👍

You are a craftsman. The care and detail that you put into the project would leave many so called professionals hanging their heads in shame. I shall be using some of your techniques to rebuild by deck railing. BTW, love your workshop. Regards Steve from Australia

I am liking this design, rather than sandwiching the balusters, which would leave nice little pockets for nasty bees to make homes in.

The neighbors must be super stoked to have someone like you to increase the curb appeal of the area :)

Wow what an incredible professional job! This is beyond professional, this is master craftsmanship.

Nice work John I wouldn't change a thing. This railing is perfect for your home.

THAT CAME OUT REALLY NICE!!!.... I HAVE A SHORT RUN FRONT DUE TO BE REPLACED THIS SUMMER...

I *love* the detailing on those posts John.

Excellent craftsmanship and simple, clear video.

WOW..... You must be very proud of how your place looks now

You made it look so easy!! I just completed my porch but instead of using 1/2" pieces to apply my spindles, I used 1/4" precut shims which made it difficult when attaching the spindles because the would would split in various places. Of course, I had add'l work to do as far as dealing those areas b4 applying paint. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent work. I paid AUD$10k to get very very similar on my front and back verandah just like yours. Love the video

Very clean and simple, Love it, looks wonderful. Enjoy watching your home improve over time.

I've watched all the videos on this channel and truth be told this house was a dump when you bought it, it's really coming together now. Can't wait till it's done inside and out.

Great idea and beautiful work! I am about to build a rail after a deck replacement and now I know what to do with all that old deck wood! Thank you!

A very detailed and thought out video, I'm going to be closing other end of my daughter's porch and this will be a great reference for the small job...again, hat's off to you!!!

Looks great! Amazing craftsmanship and truly a joy to watch.

I can watch this all day. Nice work John!

Looks stunning. Excellent work..

Those railings look great! I love the clean lines and look of your front porch, it just looks right. Thank you for sharing!

Those look great John! A little bit of work.. ok, a LOT of work and you reused some lumber that would have otherwise been burned or gone to the landfill and saved yourself some money and got a great looking result.

nice job it really adds to the look of the house

Man you make it look so easy! Those railings came out beautiful. Great job.

I'm glad you have this channel going again.

It never stopped, really, but I can't post videos when nothing interesting is happening. Not to mention that videos are a big time investment, and it makes a lot more sense for me to make videos for my other, much bigger channels.

Came out very nice. Good proportions. You should show a picture of the House when you first moved in. What a difference.

Such a meticulous craftsman. Love it! Thank you.

thanks I will share this video with some friends who are about to install a deck railing. Once again you were right on the money.

That does look real good, you had some good tools to work with and you put ya heart into it, the color of your house and the white trim looks real good! Great Job!

Really dresses up the house John - nice work as always! Cheers!

I just found you on KZread.I love to see an expert work! Great job, sir!

Excellent build. They really do look great on that house and the wood color on the porch floor and steps really set if off nicely!

Your hard work paid off; the railings are neat and beautiful. Thanks for sharing : )

As usual great workmanship, great to see how the outside of the house looks now. Looks amazing.

Hey John, nice that you got some of the material free, but the end results is what counts. The pictures at the end say it all. The whole project came out awesome! The proportions are perfect and the curb appeal is really a plus. Great job!

Totally made the house, so talented and I have gained enough knowledge to attempt to do this myself. Woohoo! Great job.

Wow John! Looks great. Something to look at and be proud of

Fantastic work. I enjoy watching all of your videos and utilizing your teachings. Thank you!

Great presentation, love the simplicity of your demonstration, I will be building an inside Railing an a staircase Railing, this helps me to know exactly what I have to do. Thanks, Donald.

upside down tapered columns looks fantastic, i love the colors. very neat work. add some plants

Very nice work, sir. Enjoyed the attention to detail and the reuse of old material.

Awesome reuse of old timber, great finish. In the past I have just pressure washed timber beams and been able to use them in renovation projects. The advantage of old timber is its far less likely to move or warp.

That's what I like most about using used lumber, it has given up the drying stresses.

John you truly are an inspiration man!

very nice work. love the colors you used.

John, The house is looking fantastic. Great job. Thanks.

Now my collection of salvage wood is justified 😂

You make it look easy John, beautiful work.

Craftsmanship at its finest. Now try getting a client to pay or even attempt this type of work.... Great Job!

Nice job and the porch looks great.

Absolutely beautiful and professional job! Thank you for this video.

Nice job man, I made some chippendale sections for my front stoop way back but just attached them to the top and bottom 2 x 4's with screws so I could easily remove the whole section when it's time to repaint and then slip back in and attach. I only had 2 side pieces though.

Nice work, came out great

Great job done John, I'm just finishing the inside of my extention I built last year. I'm sick of how my house looks from the road it looks like a building site. Next big job for me is a driveway.

They look great. Love to see the before and after on the house. Been watching since you started it, and a comparison would be amazing.

Very nice! Now we don't have to worry if you'll have a beer or nine on the porch.

Looks fantastic. Great colors, great craftsmanship. That framing lumber can really suck up paint.

That came out beautiful.

Great job.
