Another little project in the shop yesterday. Nice little relaxing job for a Friday considering it was rainy and miserable out. Had a railing to make for a long standing customer. House was built in the late 1700's so everything goes back as close to original or at least what is currently in place. No plastic allowed

Original rail. It had rotted at both ends and came loose. Some of the pickets are rotted as well.

Start with glue up and shaping the top rail.

While I like using hand tools, I am not one of those 'modern woodworkers' that puts down machinery. I will use power when its the best and most efficient tool on hand. I have a few routers to choose from when need be!
