I just built a couple 36" banisters in place.....basic,simple. Square stock 1 1/4" spindles. Bottom track on a wrapped knee wall, and rail with applied fillets.
The job is done and looks right....even spacing etc...I did it the dummy way, but I know I could be more efficient.
The main question is how do you calculate the length off the fillets.....
horizontal length 29"
spindles 1 1/4
spacing approx. 2"
slope 36*
The second question is a design/proportion/opinion issue.....What is the most attractive spacing for 1 1/4" square spindle?....I could add or subtract a spindle or two and make code. I was told to shoot for 2". I ended around 1 11/16" (inside:inside spacing)....
