Plywood Spiral Staircase 

Lol. ... agreed

Same. It's beautiful!

lol

I cried

Appsessed xD

thanks so much for watching!

Mike Boland hahahaha "Also build me a second floor" lol

And if he was afraid of the strength, he could frame in acrylic in a metal frame. Would still be cool!

great idea with clear acrylic :)

I'm not sure that would "let in more light," since the top seems to be an enclosed space, but the acrylic would gradually become cloudy probably relatively quickly from wear.

I was thinking of creating and using cloth Micarta. Then you could pick and choose your colors. Often used for knife handles. Bluejean spiral staircase anyone? Or maybe burlap... Second thought would be to embed some small LED light panels within the steps to light them up.

Rabbit Six That sounds like it would suck to make that much micarta. Could look pretty sweet though.

Thanks Paul! we should do a collab soon!

Yes!! We totally have to do that, I'll start racking my brain with ideas - let me know if you have any.

cheers!

😂😂😂😂😂

we love the rustic modern vibe here! thanks for watching and subscribing! :)

Joana Mercado NAWH girl imma bout to slay this myself.😂#idontneedaman

yeah. ok. lolololol

Joana Mercado make it two an architect and an engineer

Why not start doing DIY yourself?

+Voiceof Reason Why not start doing do it yourself yourself.

thanks so much for coming back to watch :)

:)

HomeMadeModern is there going to be a video about the railing?

yes, that's coming soon!

yes! good idea! the one good thing about using the CNC is that you can set it then work on other projects. with larger CNCs you can cut out 2 or more layers of plywood at a time. In the new Autodesk Build Space i will have access to a 5'by10' bed CNC which could do this entire staircase in 4-6 cuts

poti sa tai si cu un pendular sablonul, dar si cu un router e o munca titanica ca sa tai atatea coli de placaj presat ;) poti sa incerci sa faci si tu una ;)

HomeMadeModern yes, ofc if we are talking industrial tools the CNC will be faster. My mention was for people who don't own a CNC(so they just pay for 1 template) or for people that have a CNC and is not that powerful

yes! another great way to share design! thanks for the suggestion!

I was thinking (almost) the same! Because you can even print out the design and use a band/jigsaw and a sander for the biggest template. Then you can use a router to create as many as you need. Afterwards you can just trim the template down a little bit to the next size so you don't have to make a completely new one from scratch. And then just repeat and repeat (and repeat...)

I bet he just made sure the first step was facing the rest of the space, and then calculated what angle each step would need to rotate around the spiral in order to perfectly meet the landing - I'm sure he had a few degrees of play at both top and bottom, which allowed for him to guarantee each step was large enough to step on, while also being the right height.

Doug Christensen Number of degrees the staircase has to turn divided by number of steps = angle of each step.

+Doug - Let's say 12 steps to a rotation, and 10 inches lift per step. So we have one step every 30 degrees and 12X10 = 120 inches of lift per rotation. Let's assume a floor to floor height of 120 inches to cover. That makes it 120/10 = 12 steps. Which means we have exactly one rotation to make. Finally, this means the start and end of the staircase are in sync.

thanks!

yeah what they said..very cool!

we're working on a railing :)

Dont make the railing!, it'll ruin it. Just deal with the ~1 fall per decade.

HomeMadeModern would it be possible to make one of each of the 12 different pieces and ship them? Ill pay you of course! :)

thanks! we appreciate your support :)

thank you for watching!

thanks!

he is actually an architect, so some schooling on design, engineering, load distribution... etc is involved.

stomp it out! :)

about 1.25 sheets of plywood per step. the plywood i used was about $40 a sheet. i also used about $200 worth of screws and glue. the steel cost me about $450

Little Psycho yeah'

Hahahaha

I estimate about 1800 USD.

$450, $400 of plywood $50 of screws and glue

40+ hrs per effort at $50/hr. Most of the cost is in labor

$70 Canadian per sheet if you want to use a nice birtch ply. X 1-1/4 sheets per stair. + $50-75 screws and glue. + a cpl $100 to have it CNC'd for you.

He literally told us both which plywood he used and how much it took per step. The only thing I didn't hear was a step count. I'm estimating 14 based on the video. At 1.25 sheets per step, that's 17.5 sheets, rounding up to 18. At local prices that's roughly $700 of plywood. Estimating using metalsdepot prices for the steel components, $220 Let's round up and let the extra $80 cover all the other materials. Rough estimate - $1000

Michel Brunette did you build it ? how did it turn out

it would hurt a lot

Thought*

thank you for telling me. unfortunately there isn't much i can do about it. at least more people get to see the ideas!

well, it isn't store-bought if that's what you mean.

Jack Pearson DIY means do it yourself and he did it himself.

HomeMadeModern well it's really cool but I just don't have a xcarve it access to one so thats why I said that
