I quit my television cable like 5 years ago already.. Regular television is 10 minutes video, 10 minutes commercials, 5 minutes of repeating what happened before the commercials, and then the same over again. And when you are awake during less normal hours, there is really no normal content on the cable. Only fortune sayers and porno-telephone line commercials and Telsell. I don’t understand why people keep paying for that.
young man I commend you In your planning and construction , I am married to a pipe fitter for 27 years , and was married to a welder for 16 years (beautiful minds both of them )If I was your mom I would be so proud !I am watching all of your you tube vids.
I don't say this to dudes. But man, you are amazing! I'm seriously impressed you're doing this all by yourself, I've just watched 3 of the videos and I'm gonna watch all of the ones I can find on your project. Thanks 'Brotha.
@AstronomyToday Nah man. Like what if you were donating blood to a dude right? And later that blood ends up being part of one of his erections? That is just super gay dude
Greetings Andrew, I’ve been couped up in my house due to the virus and came across your channel. Been binge watching tour videos in no particular order. Appreciate your mechanical skills and follow through. God bless!
I saw the most recent one early this morning and immediately started watching all of them from the beginning. (I can't get stupid RU-vid to play them in order, just initially sort them in order, but a 2nd tab does the trick) I wish I had half the toys this guy has!
Andrew is just incredible! Need a second spiral stairway, just build it. Has room for him & buddy to carry welder up/down in it. Levi always available for consultation. LOL. I predict Andrew a future 60 Minutes, 20 minute segment, probably doubling his subscriber numbers. Just like movie reviewers Siskel & Ebert, he has created a market that did not exist before.
I was wondering about the hand rail, how you made it so perfect. The plastic was a great choice and you're more likely to use it if your hand won't stick to it.
I'm glad you removed the dog from the shop when the welding was done, I did ornamental iron work and pipe fitting for almost 10 years and I can't tell you how many nights I suffered with burnt eyes from the welding. Yes, I wore a welders mask but sometimes when you're working with someone, you still catch stray flash. I found that peeling a potato and putting 1/2 in each eye works until a doctor can give you the magic cream. When I went to the eye doctor, he told me that I boiled the outer layer on one of my eyes, so I've been wearing glasses ever since. I love dogs and just lost a favorite furry friend of mine in December of 2019. So thank you for thinking about your dog and your dogs vision. Oh, and great work by the way. Iron work is definitely for manly men. I got over my fear of heights standing on an electric scissor lift raised 20 feet standing on a 12 foot ladder and using a 4 foot pipe wrench at ceiling height. Take good care of yourself, when you turn 68 like me, everything you have hurts, so to avoid any pain, just don't stop working. Being stationary will kill you.
Thanks Andrew. You gave all the information necessary, now I'm going to build one! See you can teach an old dog new tricks, if the young dog knows what he's doing
At 64 I wish I had half the skills you do.....I love the equipment end of life....should have purchased used instead of rented to develop my place....hope the young folk out there can learn a thing or two from you! A college degree is not always necessary to find happiness in life!
It's so freaking cool to see ya create this whole thing! Thanx for sharing your experience with us and maybe someone else will get great ideas from this!! 👍
This is fascinating. I am loving this whole series. Technically, though this is not a spiral staircase (even though everyone calls them that), because a spiral is a curve with a constantly increasing radius, like a nautilus shell or a spool of tape. This is a helical staircase because it has a constant radius. A three dimensional curve of constant radius is a helix.
Awesome video Andrew! I like you wind up doing a lot of building projects all by my self. I like the way you had a simple design which was easy to follow and you didn't waste time with a lot of particulars. For folks that might struggle a bit it would have been nice if you would have laid out stair spacing horizontally, bolster height and how you attached them. But that was a great job made simple!
I have a mountain here in Iceland which i need to lower by 400 meters. I guess i will get Andrew to do it. No problem and he would do it in no time. Love your vids and your enthusiasm.
I came across one of your videos earlier today, and I just cant stop watchign them now.. Your amazing bro and Im just FLoored by your castle :-D Thanks for sharing :-D
Good idea using poly pipe...I’ve used it to make outdoor arch ways by putting a couple stakes in the ground and curving each end over each stake. Also used bigger diameter poly to build green houses
!!AWESOME!!! I JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEOS AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD DO WITH MY OWN HOME! AND YOUR STAIRCASE IS DAMN AWESOME!! I LOVE THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!
Nice Miller. Does the job well. I have a little cheap hyl inverter welder with 75/25 gas seems to be ok for a 100 dollar welder. Dont use it too often but when I need it's there. Great job on the spiral stair design.
Hi Andrew Great build I am a welder as well and love creating things I enjoy your videos. I built a sprial staircase for a guy's camp and used rebar for the railing has a grip to it and is inexpensive and you can buy different sizes to suit your needs. Just thought to mention.
Love Lev playing in the snow. I was wondering how those stairs were made now I know. Thanks, Andrew you are a very good worker. If I had a construction Company I would ask you to work for me. But I am retired.
J McCracken give him more capital! You two could be partners...YOU the inside man coordinating drops, jobs etc. AC stays in the field as the Maestro of the metal. That's sort of how I (A: 73..retired) did it. I was in the field 12hrs a day staying on top of issues etc. I fell into the role by dint of having to catch infield-fly balls all the time. That's where $ is made by not letting $ be lost. I love AC's biz model. He has to be the entire Orchestra. Someday his perspective might change and when it does he'll have jockeys on every piece of metal every possible hour of every possible day. Billable hours for others..billable hours for his investment ground etc...a sawmill..a retail shop (which is more to promote the brand than anything else). But..he's ten to twenty years from that..w kids to fill the slots and read his sheet music. A mega millionaire to be? Of course..his best piece of "heavy metal" is between his ears. It's stunning to watch him. People..for a nice base pay..will let him leverage their talents to further-leverage his. When he went to Lowes to pick up the Sakrete? Only for a mental break. Otherwise, in his area, if you look at employment stats and demos (which I have) he can stitch together a formidable 'posse of skills' working for him, flexible as to hours etc, who can do anything..be anywhere. Local suppliers will bend over to support AC. Lowes would have delivered on a favorable basis that Sakrete. Yrs ago my lumber yard took real good care of me. AC can be the floating welder/ mechanic etc to keep the wheels spinning. His job? To look at each operator's tickets vs work-in-place. Seems to me he should look to his quarry for mechanical help when he needs to be in two places at once with tools. The deal? His stone, concrete business etc. He barters his biz-quantity against his other needs from them. They need him! He is a heckuva guy. But he can be part of Regional-Troika of talent, probably against older men/women. At thirty I was aligned w men twice my age. AC, if he chooses, and ONLY IF HE CHOOSES, can likewise take on the region. It is a tourist destination and he should start cut-and-fill of lousy topo ground..pop appropriate dwellings on them for seasonal biz etc. First and foremost? His machines groom and prep the site pads. A partner takes care of the retail-biz end. Like so many people watching this channel, builders and developers are intimidated and in awe of excavation skills. AC HAS THIS TALENT. If he takes the intimidation factor out of projects at the front-end, land-development level, he will have power players eating from his hand. He not only gets to do HIS THING, but he'll get a piece of the backside as a thank you for taking land development's inherent risk out of the equation. I know I've gone on a bit here, but AC is on the precipice of truly great achievements..beyond those already done by him..if he chooses. When I watch these pieces of land I go back to being in business and wanting to watch him soar.
Spirals the wrong way. You don’t have right hand peek in a medieval sword fight defending your home from invaders coming up the stairs. Your swing would be blocked by the center pole
You are skilled, man you should have made that an elevator shaft instead of a stairwell. Nice work on the entire place, it's truly amazing what you've built.
Ya they are cool. I can only imagine the party crowd that gathers when you give the go for hot tub night. I bet your friends absolutely love up on you, not the ones who helped you build it of course.
Spiral stairs can be done in many ways, and yours look great! If I could offer a simpler, and cleaner looking design.... Have the fabricators cut a radius on the inside of each tread to match the main pole. Then you prep each tread by welding a single picket to the back right corner, as well as, a short picket w/foot under the front outside edge of the first tread. Weld the first tread to the pole, using a chain vise-grip around the pole to hold the tread up. Move the chain vise-grip up to the next mark, set the next tread on top bringing the tread nose forward meeting the picket of the previous tread, and weld it up. And so on, and so on. It would save some material, fabrication time, and look cleaner. Just a tip. You do great work!
Arrrgh! It spins the wrong way! The smaller one spins the right way. Don't worry, I'm just taking my pet peeve for a walk, lol, always love watching your vids.
Funny thing about "right way" , "wrong way" when it comes to spiral staircases...the original ones were built in castles, and so designed in a manner that a defending soldier could come down and swing his sword with the dominant right hand. The opponent, contrarily, would have his right arm blocked by the center pole. Spiral stair cases are still built that way...not many sword fights on them anymore though....just in case anybody was interested
Wow... There really is no other solution to the way the house is built... Maybe an elevator when you're older. Happy Thanksgiving.... and I still miss Levi.
If the spiral rotates the other direction, you have the wide part to your right hand. This makes defending the castle easier since you have the higher ground and the enemy has the narrow part to their right side. :)
I used to drive a moving truck. I for the most part would only carry the boxes. Still I was up and down stairs a great deal. I hate spiral staircases. When it comes to moving something big up them it is a huge pain. Still they do look nice
Hi Andrew - Do you sleep in this bldg? If yes, aren't you concerned about the the fumes from the machinery/trucks seeping into your sleeping quarters? It can't be healthy sleeping in a garage setting can it? Why didn't you separate your living quarters to ensure fresh, safe air quality?
