My husband needs to cut a notch at an angle out of two hand rails to fit around the corner of the posts on the porch. The posts are turned and the rail will meet the posts at the corners. So he has to get the hand rail which is coming up to the post at an angle to fit around that 90 degree corner snugly.
Any suggestions?

use cardboard to make a template and then use a scrap piece of wood same thickness as rail and work with it til you get the right angle and then use it to cut out your rails.

Run a string in place of where you want the rail to go. Hold a short piece of wood or cardboard along the line, and scribe it. Transfer the angles to the piece you want to cut. Viola!

Dry fit a piece where you need it and scribe lines on the angles you need. Tip: A good rule of thumb when cutting trim is to always cut it a little heavy and trim to fit, a little at a time.

Make a cardboard template of the post and use that to transfer to the handrail
