Hi Good Wood Folks and welcome back to Cabinet Maker X,

Last week I showed you how I installed some oak hand railing I made made for a client of mine.

You can read that post here;

Installing custom made Oak Hand railing and Newel caps.

In today's video I will show you how I made the hand rail on my router table.

I was matching the shape of the existing handrail but only had measurements, so the first step was to make a scale drawing.

These are the cutters I used to achieve the shape.

In the video I used the cutters in the following order,

1. Yellow cove cutter. 1/4"

2. Red large ovolo cutter. 1/2"

3. Grey chamfer cutter. 1/4"

4. A straight cutter (not shown) 1/2"

I got the shape as close as possible with the cutters I had available and then finished the shape with a hand plane and sanders.

This was the first woodworking film I shot, even though it is # 4 ,so go easy on me I am still learning.

I know my wood and I have spent years teaching myself furniture making , furniture history as well as living it as a self employed cabinet maker .
