Understanding the tangent handrail system.
Billy Dillon, Joe Bartok and I have just started discussing Tangent Handrailing from the book
A Simplified Guide to Custom Stairbuilding and Tangent Handrailing. Which should be read before reading and understanding the book.
Treatise on Stair Building & Handrailing

After doing a Google search, there's not really any information on Tangent Handrailing on the web. Here's a link to a you tube video of a German carpenter making and installing the Tangent Handrailing. However, he really doesn't show how the Tangent Handrailing is carved from a solid block of wood.

Then I was looking at Keith Mathewson picasaweb site and discovered he's been holding out on us. So Keith, I see your drawings of the face mold, but what about some pictures of you laying out the plank of wood used for the face mold?

Attached is an example of an Prismatic Solid from the book A Simplified Guide to Custom Stairbuilding and Tangent Handrailing. The other attachment is a drawing based on Keith's drawing and the geometric development of the Prismatic Solid for Keith's drawing.

The tangent handrailing principle is a geometric method used for laying out tangent lines to make exact joints and patterns for any inclined turned handrail section.
