the manchester chamber of commerce railngs

 sam finished the new manchester, vt chamber of commerce/welcome center railings yesterday by adding the 'handicap access' railings.  they needed to be simple and uncluttered, yet strong and light.  he used 1.25" square tubing with center supports and side braces to the wood posts.  there are little plant hangers on the side supports to hang plants on in the summer.
 nice little detail on the ends of the rails and a tricky connection to the stone and concrete work.  the support sytem will be paved over soon.


one of the modified 'greek key' end elements
a fine job on the building renovations by bill drunsic, the owner, teresa findeisin, architecture, along with dan scarlotta of vermont traditional builders, wells, vermont, who headed up the construction.

The Manchester Chamber of Commerce railings are a fantastic example of craftsmanship meeting functionality. The attention to detail and quality of the materials really highlight the skill behind custom woodworking. It’s inspiring to see such elegance in practical design.
