    Curved Fence Newel Caps

    I have a curved fence with 16x16 newels @180" OC. Good, got that. Does anybody have some deep dark secret for mounting a cap on top of every newel post? This seems like something that should be part of the fence/rail dbx. yes?

    Put the cap on the newel post you will be using and make it a symbol and send it to the library. Then when you build your fence load that newel in from the library with the cap on it to be used.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall
