   How do you frame a 45-degree angle in a wall? I am especially interested in how to provide an adequate nailing surface for drywall.

   I have an old home with narrow staircases. The outside wall of the home is one side of the stair and an old wrought iron rail is on the other. The rail system looks like it is composed of three pieces: top rail, frame and stiles. The top rail is the decorative piece that is fixed to the rail. It looks like a series of screws secure it from the underside to the frame. Each stile looks like it is attached to the floor tread by a threaded end and attached to the frame from above using screws.

   It looks like I can disassemble the whole thing by removing the screws from the frame that hold the top rail in place and then unsrewing the frame from each of the stiles.

   I need to be able to remove and replace the rail system. If I follow the course I described above, will this work??
