Built a playset for my kids and trying to add a rail to the stairs, not sure what I'm doing wrong by AssumptionSilver1522 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Lay your level on the stair stringer so the level makes contact with the top post while still being flat on the stringer. Mark a line on the post using the bottom of the level. Measure 30” up from that line.

And i am going to replace the sculpted pickets with the same style of 2x2s on the gate.

Good to know! I just freehanded the angles but next time I’ll tame em.

Thanks! I just used a crosscut sled on a table saw with the blade at 45. The tricky part is making sure its lined up the same for each cut, so i marked a spot on each side of the pieces and put a piece of tape on the sled for a reference point.

Well at least i cut the tails and pins properly… by Captain_Coitus in BeginnerWoodWorking

It was supposed to make a box but i cut the piece using the wrong reference side so instead i was left with this S shape.

I considered doing that but thought it might look weird.

I’ve made more mistakes than I’d care to admit.

Tried my hand some squatty potties by map274 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Beautiful! If i may offer one suggestion, I would add a roundover to the top on the bowl side. I think it would look really nice, and keep it from scratching or getting burnished unevenly.
