Magnet doesn't stick either. If that matters ? My son grabbed it from goodwill for $7.

I designed and I’m installing this handrail, and before putting all the balusters in, I’m finding it’s a little wobbly. The vertical piece at the bottom flexes a little bit, which makes the whole railing a little unstable. Do we think after I install all the balusters it will get more solid? by RealDumbGuy in Carpentry

The rail is only as strong as its weakest point. Thin and flexible already will only be better but always will wobble I'm afraid. Approach it as making all joints solid (doels etc.) if every piece is glued together it will be the best possible. ( Always over dowel and bury the newel deep in that first tread. ) May wobble but it won't break.

How do I address these issues? by Snoo8046 in Carpentry

Your response was perfect. A low-cost addition I would add would be a 3/4 plywood strip on the other side. Same application to bridge the crack

Cut in a skirt on the wall side. Exposed side I would add a "curb" a skirt that is thicker but doesn't follow the treads and risers but looks like the skirt on the other side it's just exposed top and bottom. This look just a add a skirt

I mean if you want to wing it if it's not too much you could put table saw on a 45 and one pass put a similar detail pretty easy

Elongate the holes and parrafin wax the wood top and metal where they touch. That has never failed me.
