Drilling too deep is not an option as it would ruin the expensive Handrail.   With what seems like hundreds of holes to drill when mounting the metal balusters its better to be safe than sorry.  The tape ensures that I do not drill too deep; but, is deep enough to allow the placement of lower part of the spindle into its location that is plumb and inline with its brothers and sisters.

Holding Stair Spindle Caps In Position Easily


The Modern Decorative Metal Stair Spindle Caps have a set screw that may or may not hold the cap in place.  

To prevent the cap from falling out of place in the future the caps were glued in place.  

While waiting for the glue to dry use ~ Spring Loaded Clothes Pin to hold the caps in position ~.

The Modern Decorative Metal Stair Spindles have that twisted metal do-dad for appearances and aesthetics and should maintain the same slope of the stairway- per client.  

This is accomplished by:

  1. setting up a string line at the proper height at the
  2. upper most decorative spindle and the 
  3. lowest decorative spindle.
  4. Pull the string line taunt
  5. Tape the String Line to the Post
  6. you have the same height at both ends of the stairway.
  7. The Taunt String Line is your guideline for setting the remaining Decorative Spindles at the Same Height and slope of the Stair Case.
