You're gonna cut out. -- it and corsets and worked so. You're you're really kind of creating a different outlook get a look at capitalist individually it looks a little bit like a pineapple when you put that altogether you're creating kind of -- quality. And if you want to see how we -- if not the workshop. To look for look. So Riley this is gonna take a long time to do what's the first step -- have done is take this piece of plywood up to it railing. And traced out what was already exists existing maps or -- that detail right and then you do you cut this out this that template. -- did it will be gone from him and -- take that in and place it on these one by five. And by six OK and then how do we actually cut out the form well -- this -- the key hall in the middle will do is they yeah hand wrote. Just want to drill through until appoint comes through the other side yeah you don't want to go all the way through the if you do all the way -- you're drilling you can always count on doing that. But if you only. Here's the other side of the woods and then come back with the same bet you've got a getting nice yeah. Will be doing that 90% of this need to be cut away on band saw OK. So.

And -- this is some left over stock reviews and when this place that up there and transfer that angle onto a piece despair would put them right up against the post and scribe it. -- fact they've done here that'll be our guide. That's our guide for cutting through actual rails. All right let's see how this. In. Perfect it let's get the balusters night. But then you and it's not from the medal in.
