Synopsis
The New Elements Of Hand-Railing by Robert Riddell. This 19th-century practical manual offers a detailed system for designing and constructing hand-rails, wreaths, and related features for stairs. It presents forty-one plates and accompanying descriptions that together provide a complete elucidation of the art of stair-building. The work emphasizes core techniques such as tangent construction, beveling, and the use of elliptic curves to form wreaths, ladders, and curved rails. A central feature is kerfing, shown as a reliable method for bending mouldings and circular strings, enabling intricate curved pieces to be produced more efficiently. The text guides the reader from ground-plans to actual moulds and bevels, explaining how to lay out winders for quarter-circle and curved stairs, how to land wreaths on level floors, and how to adapt wreaths to stair configurations with ramps, landings, and newels. Rich with instructions for straight, platform, and elliptical stairs, the book aims to equip carpenters with precise, repeatable methods for achieving safe, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing stair rails.
