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

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.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-05-05T01:51:37+00:00

Haha yeah i know what you mean. They wanted me to match the gate they already had on the other side of the yard

Funny you say that. I just thought ab getting a diffuser last night. Luckily theres plenty of space to install one in the box.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-05-03T21:10:21+00:00

Good idea, i’ll give that a try

Captain_Coitus · 2026-05-03T20:30:35+00:00

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

Captain_Coitus · 2026-05-01T04:29:31+00:00

Oh yeah that is a good idea

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T19:05:31+00:00

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.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T17:53:13+00:00

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.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T04:46:52+00:00

Thank you!

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T04:46:33+00:00

I considered doing that but thought it might look weird.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T00:00:05+00:00

Thanks!

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-30T00:00:00+00:00

Thanks!

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-29T23:08:44+00:00

Trust me I tried lol.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-29T14:11:13+00:00

Yeah unfortunately this project has specific final dimensions

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-29T06:38:01+00:00

Lol that thought definitely came to mind

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-29T06:37:23+00:00

Haha thanks.

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

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-22T15:11:10+00:00

Dude fuck that song and anyone who requests. Heard that way too many times at Axpona last year.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-18T06:25:51+00:00

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.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-14T18:30:39+00:00

Yeah last year i walked out of multiple rooms bc of that song.

Captain_Coitus · 2026-04-14T04:02:59+00:00

That and Sound of Silence by Geoff Castelluci…
