25 Answers
hi, i have a double winder staircase which looke like this except the other way round
http://www.google.co....%26prmd%3Divns&itbs=1
Owing to SOMEONE not measuring properly before ordering furniture i need to take the hanrail and posts out of the bit that goes up against the wall (we have an RSJ in the way of getting the wardrobe up the first few steps and round) How do i do it? there was a little round "hole" covered up, which i removed and took a dowel out on the equivalent of the post on the right hand side of that picture, but that hasn't done anything at all - i cant lift the handrail off to remove the spindles and i took the top of the newell post off to see if you could access it from the top, but 1) broke the top bit and 2) found out it was just a decorative glued on bit, affording no access to the inside. help

If it's like the arrangement in the pic, the handrail is let into the side of the newell at one end, and into the side of the half-newell at the other end. The problem is that the newells would have to be "spread" to take the handrail out.
Here goes ............ you've removed a screw in the main newell. That should leave a metal bracket in it when the h/rail is removed.
I would have to resort to sawing (fine cut saw) where the h/rail slots into the half newell against the wall ........... actually sawing through the tenon (end of the h/rail).
Then lift the h/rail and pull it out of the main newell ......... leaving the spindles behind. Brute force if it's glued :o(
Any good so far?

ok, thanks for these very useful answers. I think that we will give up and employ the services of a professional to actually do it. (when i have said "I" in my post, i of course mean mr bednobs. As he cant be trusted to even measure properly, i don't think he can be trusted with a saw!
