Removing a Banister

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Here's how to disassemble a banister and balusters for refinishing. Using a block, gently separate the banister and newel post just enough to insert the blade of a reciprocating saw. Cut through the bolts and nails to detach the banister. Repeat this process on the opposite end. Then, carefully separate the pieces using the block. Be sure to number each piece for re-assembly later.
