I added a 1” thick x 4” x 4” piece of pine 1/2” from the top of the MDF. I roughed up the post and glued and nailed the 4” MDF to the sides of the post using a 4 foot level to assure the posts were straight. Since 48” gave me more than enough height, I cut my 4” and 5” strips x 48” in length and then custom cut the wood based on each existing post. I also decided that I wanted the new boxed in post 2 inches above the hand rail. I choose to cut and chisel the Maple as shown in figure 1.Īs mentioned in a prior step, my post bottoms are 4” x 4”. Since I was adding 1/2 MDF to the posts, I had a choice to either cut the Maple or notch the MDF. This step took the some time as there was a lot of thinking and cutting both on the Tablesaw, Mitersaw and hand saw.
