Hello all. Any ideas how to fit a new newel post to this angled short base? I am looking to replace a wrought iron banister which has gaps in it large enough for my daughter's head.

The original post has been cut of at the angle of the slope of the stairs. I originally thought I would half lap it but can't see anywhere where I think I can take enough off the base. How about steel rods and glue?

Any advice welcome. Thanks.

You could cut new to match angle and cut rebate to match then use a timber to form a dowel [or metal bar] then screw and glue.
 
Hi Foxhole. Are you suggesting cutting a hole in the new post to match the cut in the base or drilling out for a round dowel/steel? Thanks.
