Got some rough sanding done . The messiest part of the job but I get to see the deal under the old paint and stain. This post and railing are in really bad shape. Railing is so loose that all the joint are cracked . The post has been modified and cut at the base in a way that it basically ruined it and cant be installed the way it was installed originally because the first step was removed and a landing was built. So Im gonna kidnap the post and try to work some magic on it . We dont want to replace the post . Its all about restoration. Saving all the original part is important . #thestairdoctor #stairrestoration #njstairrepair #njwoodworking #njstairs #njstairrestoration #stairdoctor #elvisthestairdoctor #thestairdoctorsavedme #unionnj #unioncounty #stair #stairs #solo #woodworking #oldwoodenstaircases #oldoak #1874 (at Hillside, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B26rHruAQYb/?igshid=r5eksnaome6b
