I ripped out our old banister and built a new one from scratch
I learned a TON on this project. My wife was planning to paint the old banister, but when I realized how much work it would take I offered to build a new one, thinking that it would be a simple weekend project. I'm a woodworker, and was initially approaching this like a woodworking project. I quickly realized that I needed to think like a carpenter rather than a woodworker. I used rough sawn maple that I had air dried in my garage many years ago. It took a lot longer than one weekend, but we are thrilled with the results and it was fun to learn so much on a project.
