So, here is my dilemma, ( I thought it was spelt dilemna???) I sketched this railing then realized the only way the top handrail would work is to use 1 1/2" solid round bar...uh oh! I don't have a forge....had bought a Rosebud tip but never used it...then when asking advise from some members here, I was warned of the dangers of using too much acetylene too fast!!! Explosion!!!!! OMG! I was a nervous wreck...managed to get it done without blowing up the studio...thanks for your help Jake and Rich!!!! SteelyJan38
