This was fun. I've never capped round like this, and wanted to try it before I cut the excess off the bent railing.
Simple folded paper template to mark out the quadrants and length. No math, and a free handed curve.

Some portaband/cutoff work.

Some hammer work. Little by little, closed the gap pretty good. Tried a little heat at the end just because I wanted to see if I could bring edges in a tiny bit more but not really worth the effort to IMO. Diminishing returns

I think it came out great, so I sliced the handrails to length, and did this to all four ends.
It's been an interesting week....Nice to be back in the shop.
