My friend Ed Noonan asked me if I could help him with a little project, and I was more than happy to take a look at it. There are two pieces to be fabricated for this project. One is a straight handrail with mounting brackets, and the other one is for an open area between a wall and a post. Here are some pictures showing the process of building the pieces!
Here is a picture of the coped tube ends of the vertical railing pieces.
Tabs were welded to the ends of the top rail.

All the pieces for this section are getting claped in place for welding.
I cut some tubing as spacer blocks.
Here is the finished piece.

Here I’m coping the handrail brackets.
The brackets and mounting plates befor welding.
Here is my little jig for welding.
The brackets are ready to be welded to the hand rail.
One of the returns of the hand rail.
I clamped all the pieces in place to make sure all the angles are correct. Checking twice before welding.
Here is another picture with everything clamped in place.
