This Is A Staircase

The Tradesmen Sure Would Get A Lot Of Satisfaction Building A Fantastic Staircase Like This One


This article is going to walk you through the construction of this wonderful staircase.


There are a lot of pieces to fit and cut and a crew of experienced tradesmen to do the job.


This is the place they chose to start.


First Stringers in place


 


Curved Stringers


 


Now that the stringers are in place it’s time to move on to the next step — that starts on page 2

The Stringers Are In Place


The next step is to install the treads and risers.


This is an interesting stairs because not only do the stringers have than graceful curve.


The treads have a curved front nosing too, which looks very nice.


With the treads in place and posts under the landing the stair is now structurally sound to walk up and down on.

Now that the structure is in place, it’s time to add the trim. See the next page.

The finished stringer is made up of curved pieces as well.


What do you think of the finished look isn’t that gorgeous.

Now that the stair is finished it has to be made safe with a hand rail.


Check that out on the next page.

The handrail is an essential part of a stair


Curved handrails are tricky to make.


Now that the stringers are finished, they make a perfect form or template for gluing the handrail and holding it to the proper shape.


You need lots of clamps for this operation.


Have a look at how it’s done.

Pay attention to the newel posts at the bottom, the finish on the columns, the wainscoting at the landing and tho rail and trim around the opening on the upper floor.


Job Well Done
