Thanks for making this video. You sure know your trade; 8 years of building spiral stairways! I've found "experience" is usually expensive, and or painful. I've built "conventional" stairs, but never anything as demanding as spiral stairs. I like to have a look at videos like yours, cause I always learn something every time. A good tradesman makes the job look easy. I tip my hat to you.
You can build a mountain by putting pebbles on top of each other. The challenge is to move the mountain after you built it. Just kidding. The staircase weighs aroun a ton when it's done. I have a strong "A" frame with a 1.5t hoist to move.it around the shop and we used boom forklifts to install them.
Good job sir, your welldone, watching from kuwait, Im from the Philippines May we know how you lay out tje exact pattern from the top and the count of steps Thank you and God bless you sir
Thanks for watching! I draw up everything on the computer. I am using Google SkatchUp, which is free to download, to work out all the details. There are certain criteria that you have to follow to be code compliant. I measure the elevation, and devide it by the maximum raise (9-1/2" max) to see the minimum number of treads. I adjust the numbers accordingly. I normally have 12 to 14 treads per revolution.
Thanks for subscribing. Last year was very difficult for me and wasn't able to produce any videos. I am getting back to it soon, so stay tuned. Thanks again for your interest.
Thanks! The 3 landing spiral staircases are just 2 single ones on top of one another. The center post has mating parts that slide into each other and they're attached to the building at each landing.
I don't have a drawing for this anymore. The tread angles and number of determined by the height of the stairs. Also you have to consider a few other things if you want to build it to code.
Thanks mate, I lived in the UK between 2004 and 2008. I lived in Totton, near Southampton. I was working for Collin Phillips and his shop, at the time, was located in Netley Marsh. I did have a great time there and was competing in the New Forest Show twice.
Čau Tim! Krásná práce, jsi velmi šikovný 👍 Stehuješ bez kukly 😀👌 Vidím 1 chybu - šířka stupňů u středového sloupu 😜 ale jinak 👍👍 A zábradlí, to znám velmi dobře - šroubovice. 😀😀😀. Já dělal zábradlí i u středového sloupu - nepodařilo se. 🤔. Musel jsem na ohýbačku s kladkou do boku. Čest práci!
Talent! Great job. But you gotta start wearing your welding helmet for your tack welds! You don’t want to get to be my age and have people say, “Can’t you see it, it’s right in front of you!” And you’re thinking, “Well, no, I can’t see it.” Buckle up friend, it might be a long ride!
I'm pricing my first spiral staircase and the thing that I have the most concerns about is the making of the handrail. I see that you made the curves in only one dimension and then made small adjustments with the ratchets. Might be trying that one!
Thanks for reaching out. Yes that's how I did the handrail the way you described. But there are a few trick to it. When you bend the tube you have to bend it in small increments making sure it fits the curvature of the spiral. You also have to work in sections and match them up nicely. It's easier said than done. Good luck with your project.
Thanks! I don't quite get your question. Stringers are the components of staircases that connect the treads together. Technically speaking, spiral staircases only have one stringer and that is the center post. Can you phrase the question differently so I can answer it?
The rise (upward distance between treads) can not be grater than 9-1/2" as per building code. The picket lengths vary since the treads ate horizontal and the handrail is at an angle, but there are the same (3 different lengths) at each tread. I hope this answers your question.
@@mrlara57 they not that complicated to build really. You just have to calculate everything before you start building it. If you get stuck just comment again and I try to help. I built 4 double ones (2 single on top of each other) and 1 single one in the last 8 years, and I am building one next month.
Hey buddy so I bought my materials, I wanna cut my treads my landing will be only 22” squared. The height of the loft is 85” 1/4 . So it’s not high it will be small stairwell. I calculated 12 treads. Does that sound right ? And how should I measure my treads , how wide ? Or how can I get my dimensions on the treads? Thanks in advance buddy
It always is. That's the hardest part I use 1-1/2" x 0.065" round tubing for my handrails. Any thicker would make it real hard to bend it, but any thinner would make the material buckle. Unless you fill it with sand.
There is no set degree. You have to calculate the # of treads fom the height and diameter. The building code sets certain parameters that you have to meet. In the case of the staircase in the video there are 12 tread per 1 full rotation, but I have done 14 as well .
Used to be around $6-8K for a 6'D x 12-15'H. Depending on the design. The last time I built one was 3 years ago. Material prices doubled since then so it would be significantly more today.
@@DesertOwlForge The cutting dimensions for the checker plate, the rectangular hollow sections(RHS), and the size of it (R.H.S) too. The distance from one stair tread to the other. I’m doing similar and I would love to do yours.
No, I don't. I had no drawings. I did a wire model in google SkatchUp and that's about it. I don't have the cutting list for the parts and the templates for the treads any more. I never keep them because all staircases are unique to the situation at hand. They all differ slightly. Floor height and diameter will determine the tread count and the actual rise, which has to be no larger than 9.5" and there are several different criteria that you have to follow if you want to be code compliant. I basically build.them out of my head.
To comply with the building code, rise (the distance between the step heights) should be no larger then 9-1/2" and the deviation should be no grater than 1/8". You have to measure the finished floor height and divide is by the number of steps. You should adjust the number of steps to fit within those parameters. I hope this answers your question.
I assume you mean the diamond plate used for the treads? I either use 3/16" or 1/4" thick. Any thinner would be too flimsy and any thicker would be too heavy. I think that's close to 5mm and 6.5mm.
@@DesertOwlForge realistically, I’m not sure. I watched your video and was quite impressed. We seem to be likeminded. I haven’t made a spiral staircase yet but I have often dreamed of it. I am an accomplished welder who enjoys making metal sculptures and blacksmithing.
Correction: at 30:30, building code specifies a MAXIMUM between-ballister distance of 4", not a minimum center-to-center distance as your text comment indicates.
Yes, forcing it not ideal, bit if you know what you're doing you can make it right. I only have a simple tube roller from Harbor Freight and that's the best I can do with it.

Nice job ! What is the gap length between each tread brother? And are picket lengths vary or are they the same length?

Nice bro I want be same lyk u
Отлично!
what schedule pipe did you use for the handrail? In the middle of a similar project and the hand rail is being... difficult.
It always is. That's the hardest part
I use 1-1/2" x 0.065" round tubing for my handrails. Any thicker would make it real hard to bend it, but any thinner would make the material buckle. Unless you fill it with sand.
What did you add helix with??
You mean the handrail? I bent a 1-1/2" round tubing with a pipe roller and the twisted it as I attached it to the pickets.
Hello, your video is great, can I reprint your work in China?
No.

There is no set degree. You have to calculate the # of treads fom the height and diameter. The building code sets certain parameters that you have to meet. In the case of the staircase in the video there are 12 tread per 1 full rotation, but I have done 14 as well .
