Stair Project

admin

I finally have a project that seems worth posting and might be of interest to some of you.  It is actually a tricky little stair with a twist necessary to get some decent headroom.  Best of all it is all done out of old left overs and rusted stuff that was lying around. Attached Images

Reply:Very nice, it looks like that one was a heck of a spot to squeeze a stair into. Nice solution to a no space challenge. The open stringers really help keep it from looking like it takes the whole room. How many hours to fab?
Reply:"How do you figure out the rise and run of each? "The rise is the same as any stair.  I modeled it in AutoCad and Sketchup.  There is a section of the Building Code that allows winders so long as the tread depth at what is called the "walk line" (12" from the side) is at least 10 inches.  The rest of the wind is just aesthetics and maintaining the headroom."The open stringers really help keep it from looking like it takes the whole room. How many hours to fab?"  This is a small room.  An all wood stair would have been really bulky so this seems to be as 'invisible' as possible.I have just under 50 hours total including painting, installation and all.  The real time killer was cleaning up all those tiny welds.  The plane mig welds didn't look bad.  But there were a few that "got away from me".  Once I cleaned them up with the dynafile, I really liked the look of the cleaned up welds.  So I probably spent the best part of half a day grinding welds.

Reply:Very nice job, well thought out, Is there any flex at all when in use,or is it all tied together including the handrail to form a strong lattice construction,  Cheers  Gordon.
