Hi Mo and others

the stairs are a straight flight down and end up against a door opening.

The home builders were not of good caliber and eventho it is a very nice home there are many errors, this being one of them and i refer to the position of the stairway.

I am in the process of preparing the Ash cap for the sloping wall now and I am about 1 week away from doing the mortising for the sloping railing support spindles.

I sure appreciate all your feedback on installing the sloping mortises for the spindles, I do believe that I will just need to take it slow and steady, and judging from what you guys are saying maybe a modest jig that could direct the angle of a freehand drill and bit might be my best solution in this case.

Any other comments are welcome
