Jmb that is amazing work  [eek] how did ye do the curved handrail? Did ye laminate it and glue it together in a former?

It was between laminating OR cutting part of the curve out a wider piece of timber and then just joining them end to end.

Decided it was better looks nice ( also cheaper method less time) to cut part of the curve out wider timber and joining them.

Ya man that's far quicker to do rather than forming a former cutting up strips, planing them, glueing them and clamping it all up and then cleaning it up.

yeah very easy to under estimate how long laminating can actually take but had a good hard think about it and decided it would add so much to the total labour time. 

Ill see if I have a  closer shot of the handrails.    Used worktop bolts to pull the joints together on the handrails.

Did you cut the filler pieces in between the spindles out of one piece of wood as well?

Ya you'd spend half a day making the former cutting, planing etc. in order to laminate it.

The filler pieces on the main curved part of the hand rails where straight and then using a block plane to take the corners of slightly  as in that short distance the curve is very little wasnt worth curving the in fill pieces

The infill piece for the part of the hand rail which curves DOWN at the entrance that was made in one piece to fallow the handrail curve and cut out the sections required to fit in with the same curve as the hand rail.

Nice! Well done on it so far. Can't wait to see it all finished  [big grin] I'd love to work with someone like you. It seems like most carpenters and joiners here in Ireland don't care enough like you do with your work

Did you make the gutters yet?
Click to expand...

Made them ages ago dude and fitted them but not done the down spout.  Slight problem as we believe the building has risen up on one side which annoyingly is where the down spout cut out is. So the gutter is holding a lot of water even though we haven't sealed the screws yet.

Believe this has happend because he has removed Alot of trees and branches on the back side and the clay has expanded and pushed the building up.  So we need another down spout on the other side to allow it to drain!  Typical!!
