Morning All
I've been asked to make a handrail to go down either side of some steps that lead to the front door of a Victorian house. The customer is very specific about her requirements. A curved section handrail with a small scroll at the bottom end, a single square upright with either a twisted section or a basket at the bottom end, a similar upright where the steps level out, and a fixing to the house wall. All fixings to be invisible, as if the steelwork has just grown out of the concrete and rendering. She got the idea from a similar aged house further down the road, and as far as I can tell she's pretty inflexible about the design.
My concern is that the rail will need at least one extra upright in the centre, but she's seen this one down the road and wants it just the same, despite maybe concerns about the lack of rigidity, and the inherent 'wobbliness'.
Your thoughts please Gents?
