   Stan, are you the guy who drives up the price of clamps on Ebay?

   How many laminations in that rail?   Looks great.

   SWEET! 

   You sir are an artiste!

   I also know you are absolutely screaming mad- can tell by the spotless shop!

   ;o)

   (I'm just jealerous...)

   Beautiful absolutely admirable. How long have you been building stairs, how did you get started and how/who trained you. Looks like you might have had some fine arts training.

   Boy, that looks so pleasantly natural...purty<G>Question: does that rail have to meet code? Here, we have a minimum 1 1/4" circular cross-section, up to 2 5/8" max. That's for handgrip part...I have to get a variance for something 2 x 4ish on edge, and that depends on the inspector. You are filling up my stair folder, all by yourself...LOL Don't worry, we can fix that later!

   bucksnort...Thanks.....This stairway will not be under close scrutiny...but the handrail height...baluster spacing...tread depth...ect. will all meet code if it had to.

   Stan, I'm not a huge fan of the blanket coverage the "codes" throw out, if you hadn't noticed<G>Have you had to get around any code restrictions? We do all the time...seems like if the inspector really thinks we are really concerned, we can get a variance. We do have a lot of respect for safety, just not a lot for authority...LOL

   David:   I trained myself.  I used to farm...and then I worked as a trim carpenter.   I soon learned that very few wanted to do stairways.  I read every book I could get my hands on..and the rest is history.

   Stan,

   Can you name some of those books. I'm having a hard time finding anything helpful. Nice work.
