About

Hello and welcome to my channel. My name is Russ, a life long carpenter. I am one of those fortunate people who knew what i wanted to do when i grow up from a very early age and have followed through with my dreams. My passion is making beautiful things from wood and I also like to dabble in the dark art of metalworking and other skills from time to time. This channel is about pushing the boundaries of my craft while making innovative, unique and interesting projects, I hope the content i make will inspire others to follow their dreams, try new ideas and make interesting projects of their own. Russ.

Video Description

Just throwing together a nice handrail for my 160 year old stairs. I mentioned in the video that it would originally have had a very basic handrail here, but this is just an assumption, none existed when we bought the house and when I stripped this wall back to the masonry I didnt see any evidence of fixings etc so it may well have not had any rail at all! There is a very basic handrail going into the cellar, so it seems strange to skimp on one for this staircase.
