Got some more stuff glued up this week, I now have 6 pieces of the project (maple, Baltic birch)  ready to rock and roll. Each peice is about 24' long, and 1/2" thick, making one side of this project 3" thick. Using lots of clamps and glue, it will get clamped to this form. The other side of the project, is the same, except about 19' long. Will probably go through 3 gallons of glue on this project. Most people use (this thing, project) daily in one form or another, just not on this grand of a scale. Guesses??

Stairs or treads for stairs

Spiral staircase!

Cabinets

Got 3" of stringers glued up this weekend, 6 pieces each is peice is 1/2" thick, one of the stringers is done, except for cleaning up the top and bottom edges. We didnt run out of clamps either!  Yes we are building a curved staircase 

Wow all that work and I cannot even imagine the cost much less what you charge. Keep it coming I do want to see the finish.

I agree and second that request!

Cleaning up the edges of the stringer, it turning out very nice, got 3 layers of the other stringer bent yesterday, will be putting the other 3 layers on this afternoon.

Beautiful work!!!

Nice ! We built a few over the years but did not have the luxury of the expandable floor jig. Are you using commercial bender hand rail or doing custom ?

Some one else is doing custom bent metal rail and ballusters on the stairs, this is the rail we would typically use, and bend it to the correct radius. Someone commented a few posts back, 2 curved stringers, each is 3"thick, 17 treads, each is 4" thick, and will finish out at 48" +or minus, I probably have close to 80 hours of labor into setting up the curved form,making all the peices, bending the stringers, cleaning the edges up, etc probably guessing 40 hours of install time, not to mention cost of materials, all this for the amazingly low price of,,,,,,,,,,,,,$29,000

Forgot to say, I haven't even started working on the treads yet!

Wow, what a project!  What type of equipment do you have to move this monster when it is completed?

Yes inquiring minds would like to know.  

Got the two stringers set yesterday, will start putting treads in today

So you fabricate it in the shop, disassemble and reassemble on site?

Keep those pics coming!

Fascinating! Looking great.

I am guessing there will be no support on outside?

Looking good !
