  7. John, The PARF guide comes with a Forstner bit...

    John, The PARF guide comes with a Forstner bit not a spade bit. It has a pretty long tip (more than 1/8 I think). Tolerances are very important, so I will have to use the guide and its bit. I thought...

    Thanks John, I will keep shopping around. $250X2 is a lot of money for a room that has no ROI. The solution is there ...now I need to find the material without breaking the bank. Thanks again

    Thanks for the clarifications John TenEyck,

    I do not have HW flooring yet, just subfloor (3/4 T&G Fir dated 1929). We removed a couple of pieces to assess how the boxing could be done. That is when I figured out I had only a joist and not a...
  14. yes to lapping

    John, I feel good about lapping. The question is how: how many bolts, where and how long? How much can I trim the post to make sure it stay safe and sound? How big/thick should the post be. (the half...

    John, the 2x8 is too narrow to use a bolt from the bottom. I might have to bolt on the side of the newel post.

    Jamie, the legs are too small to increase the size of a hole that it is already there. It will split the leg. They are not even 2" wide. Great idea, though.
