Beautiful! Something to be proud of. Great job! I was a carpenter contractor for 3 decades, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Back in the 70’s I took on a job that had a sweeping spiral staircase, got wider towards the bottom. Having never built one before had me a little nervous to say the least. I didn’t even know anyone that ever built one and of course this was before PC’S and the internet. This was really weighing on my mind. The guy that taught me the trade had given me some good advice when I first launched out on my own having only built crackerbox type houses and now beginning to get into custom built homes. He told me if I ran into something complicated don’t try to think about it just start and it will work itself out, this was great advice and served me well but a spiral staircase, having NEVER done one was quite the challenge. Then one night I dreamed I built a spiral staircase, I was so into it in the dream. The next day I new exactly what to do and I built the spiral staircase just like I did in my dream. Turned out beautiful! I really believe it was Devine inspiration as this was the case a few times later as needed. Never had the opportunity to build one again but now I knew I could with a little help from above.
Ive been looking for the curve staircase concept. This was an excellent video on just that. I also want to tip my hat to you sir as you're an artist and tradesman combined. Thank you for taking you're time out to share a massive project.
I want both sides open. I'm on a few forums but nothing specific to curved stairs Any guidance where to go? I'm only on FB for social media, but I'm absolutely wanting to join a real forum..
I've built free standing open both circulars. The width of the stringers adds strength as well as thickness. I would also add a center stringer, and make sure the stringers are anchored securely at the foot.
I don't understand why you needed to add more curved plywood for the stringer? And also why you cut every single tread? I get why you cut the first one to add the steel reinforced newel post. But the rest?
its great to see a skillful operator in action. I once worked on a three storey Victorian house in London which had a single string from top to bottom. Do you know how they twisted this into position?
Can u let me know how did you frame under the stairs and you used Drywall flexible? Is there any vibration when your coming down? Mine is the main staircase
1) Do not run band saw blades so fast.! You were pushing hella hard, I could see. 2) Use oil with it. If it was really 1/4" thick, remind yourself of step 1. 3) Using oil or lubricant, make sure it is constantly lubricated. Keep an oil can with you. 4) wear PPE! 5) Stop running it so fast! 6th and final critique use oil on pretty much anything metal. Especially the band saw and hole saws... night and day difference. Youd get fired ever running drills or any of that without lubricants. Bit breakers are bit buyers as they say... Cool build. 😎 i would have bought better clamps at the end... i see the real craftsmen. Gluing both sides, clamping final with goo-out and screwed finished.
The Concrete Box you said you bought all those clamps for the stairs project, i thought after finishing the project you had now too many haha of you don’t know what to do with them you may wanna sell them to me, just wondering
please can you advise me.....the bending ply was ripped in long sections ....how did you determine the angle of the riser to ensure the curve was correct?
How far along are you on the project? Is it all on paper at this point or do you have a hole in the floor already and you're building the stairs? As for the angle: The angle of the stairs is dictated by the geometry of the framing...You have to consider the headroom as you ascend and descend, as well as how much travel you have, etc. To answer your question simply, I ripped all the pieces of ply down to 16", then once I figured out the angle I just tacked up the ply at the proper angle and then drew a level line across the bottom the show me the angle. Then I just chopped off the triangle, and that was the angle. I then removed that piece and set it down on the floor. Drive some nails into the form wall as guides so that when you're gluing up the ply you put it at the proper place. Have people there to help you and go to town. You don't have to be tight tight where your layers come down to the floor. Just get within an inch on the bottom with your pieces, then every 3 or 4 layers just cut it off with a skill saw, and then you're all done just put a piece of treated under it. Are you going to be attaching your ply layers to the inside of the form wall, or outside, like I was doing?
Thank you....i have a manufacturing facility and were requested to do a circular staircase with a central spiral stringer......if you give me you email i will show you what we eventually managed to do .....but we we made SO many mistakes along the way and you seemed to have a really easy way to do it......we had an outside circular brick wall against which the architect and engineer designed a rolled steel outer stringer plate bolted to the wall.....this plate was bridged to our plywood spiral stringer with flat treadplates on which we attached 45mm shaped treads......we battled with the laminating of the spiral....hence the question..
Real craftsmen can built whatever they want, and it doesn't have to be connected to any any professional techniques or industry standards. Earning a living at it is a whole different story. For that one needs to work for someone who is already doing that. Unfortunately you'll also learn all the ways to short-cut and produce an inferior product to what you would do for yourself. Two thumbs up on this although coming from a former, retired professional, your Diy project bears little resemblance to anything actually being produced today or in the past. Still looks good though.

I think over kill on that metal landing thread/newel post anchor, but ok.

You have to pull when using a plasma cutter. They have “drag tips” for you to drag not push. Your cuts will come out so much better.
"No Kill like over Kill" love it! Cant wait for the next video
Did you like the back to the future bit?
What's the labor price on thise project 🤔
its great to see a skillful operator in action. I once worked on a three storey Victorian house in London which had a single string from top to bottom. Do you know how they twisted this into position?
Dude 15 thousand staples big yikes
Nice job man and beautiful finish

Thanks for the tips!
You are a super organized BEAST. Was waiting to see more videos. Thanks
Haha thanks Jesus. Working on the next video today actually.
What did you do with all the spring clamps you bought
What do you mean?
The Concrete Box you said you bought all those clamps for the stairs project, i thought after finishing the project you had now too many haha of you don’t know what to do with them you may wanna sell them to me, just wondering
Oh no I use those all the time for just whatever. They have them for cheap at...pretty much anywhere.
iwa
15,000 staples! Damn!
Haha!
please can you advise me.....the bending ply was ripped in long sections ....how did you determine the angle of the riser to ensure the curve was correct?
I am happy to help. Can you please rephrase the question? I'm going what you're asking.
Maybe you meant to ask how I determined the angle of the stringer?
yup ...sorry was not concentrating.....yes how does one determine the angle of the stringer and then translate that to a cut on your ply
How far along are you on the project? Is it all on paper at this point or do you have a hole in the floor already and you're building the stairs?

You came back to videos, thats great.

Just keep up, you are having a great channel.

You have a beautiful mind brother.
I see you removed studs from one side
This not built good
