Landing Banister dry-fit

Ooo! I love it! You did the wire work? It's beautiful! Hmmm....thinking.....

I just went back to look at your album for this build and I am in awe. Your work is really stunning.

The railings are truly lovely as well as your woodwork... so perfect.

Fantastic!

Thanks!

I'll try to get a close up shot of the "marble" banister caps today.

WoW! That looks so great! I love the curls in the wire.

Spectular! And I love your paneling work detail, How did you join the wires in the railing together? That was the hardest part for me, glue was lots of trouble and soldering was noticable at the joints.

Gorgeous work!

So beautiful!

Thanks everyone!

Deb,

Solder and epoxy didn't seem to work, so I used super glue. It seems to be holding. The join points and tips are painted gold.

Wow. I see why the wire gave you so many problems. It's so thin and delicate. And the paneling is outrageous! You obviously have a very clear image in your head of what you want this house to look like. Fantastic!

Actually, for such thin wire, it is incredibly rigid and very difficult to bend. I tried a slightly thicker wire at first, but I couldn't get it to bend at all!

Although the foyer and landing is coming along as I had envisioned it, its very closed in. Now that I see it taking form, I know I would like the style, but not the layout. An open floor plan would have been better, but way too late to change it now.

Oh, stunning stairs and paneling.
