1. 0:35–0:46 Trim Shims and Install Base Trim From Newel Post and Banister Tightening, Step 6: Use Wood Shims and Adhesive for Gaps

   After the newel post is plumb and securely shimmed, any parts of the wooden shims that protrude from under the base need to be trimmed flush with the surrounding floor or base trim. The installer uses a utility knife to carefully score and cut the excess shim material. Following this, a decorative base trim piece (such as shoe molding or quarter round) is typically installed around the bottom of the newel post. This trim piece covers the shims and creates a polished, finished appearance for the post's base.
