{\an1}Nathan: Now that we have
our post and it's plumb, {\an1}we can lay out for our top
and our bottom rail. {\an1}The easiest way to find
that angle is just hold
the two pieces together, {\an1}set it on top of the nose
of each tread, {\an1}and then we're just gonna
strike a line on the bottom, on the top. {\an1}Bring that over to the saw. {\an1}Whatever angle this is, {\an1}our balusters are gonna be
cut at the same angle. {\an1}You want to go make some cuts? Kaitlin: Yeah, I do.
Nathan: Alright
