Kens Contemporary Style Handrail

Here are a few pictures I snapped of Kens handrail completely installed.
Construction of this rail consists of 1/4" plate "posts" that I designed and had laser cut. Mounting plates were also laser cut and were part of the posts. Originally the plan was to use stainless steel cable and the appropriate hardware however as with most project the cost quickly became an issue. It is because of this that we decided to utilize 3/8" steel rod and have it powder coated to match the posts. During assembly the rod is passed through holes in the posts and the rods were drilled and tapped on each end to hold them in place.




The finish install was completed by Ken, and all wood work was also completed by Ken

Here are some of the laser cut "raw" materials.
I like to "slot and tab" all of these pieces so they fit well and are uniform.
