Here’s a fast way to lay out railing balusters. Get a length of the kind of elastic that is used for waistbands and stretch it so that it’s fairly taut. Mark your center spacing on the elastic. Now attach the elastic to one end of the railing run and stretch it out. Move the elastic back and forth until you’ve got it just right. Mark your centers, roll up the elastic and head for the next railing.
