My Dad is a real stud. For 70 years old, he is an amazing health and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to anything handy. Actually, handy is an understatement. He does amazing work which is due much in part to his perfection-like mentality (his greatest strength and greatest weakness my mother would say!). He has never done a stair rail before, and this was no easy task. He studied, did some Internet searches, asked the guys at Home Depot (who didn't know much at all!), looked in the DIY books, etc. And his product came out absolutely perfect. It is beautiful! We baked him a giant cookie one night... it tasted great, but it wasn't that impressive to look at :)
