Handrails
  Building wood handrails is a art in itself. I see a lot of handrails built for safety but they don't meet most  building codes. The biggest problem with building a handrail is safety.

Their is a minimum spacing for handrail components of 4 inches. The reason for this is so that a baby will not stick their heads into these spaces. This is a good reason to rebuild your hand railing system if the balusters are over spaced.

I still see handrails being built with safety problems so be aware.
