Childproofing spiral stairs

Does anyone have any ideas for a temporary fix to add railings or something else to an oak spiral staircaste to prevent a toddler from falling through. The netting seems flimsy and I don't want to put holes in the side for the eyehooks that come with it.

Thanks,
Marianne

Tie the netting to the bannister and balusters.

Joining wood or use plywood

T

TKEcowboy on Aug 11, 2003

I am about to build an entertainment center out of Pine. A friend at work heavily suggested using Pine plywood instead of trying to join pieces for the back and sides. he said Pine is one of the worst woods for shrinkage and said that over about 5 years a board of Pine may shrink about 1/4 inch. Is this true? I really like the look of joined wood because it gives the project that authentic woodworking look. Should I use Pine plywood instead? A local wood specialty shop carries 4x8 sheets of knotty Pine plywood. Would it be best to use that? Thanks. Glenn

Miter Cuts greater than 45

B

buggywhipper on Oct 01, 2003

I own a DeWalt 706 miter saw that is great. It cuts up to 48 deg angles right and left however I need to make a 52 deg cut for some roof trusses and not sure what is the best way. Should I create some sort of jig or just end up cutting the 14 cuts (7 trusses) by hand? Thoughts and Ideas much appreciated. HELP!
