  • This DIY spiral stair is made out of 3/4" plywood. I used a small CNC machine from Inventables to make this for my Boston loft.

    That's the sexiest modern staircase I've ever seen, incredible job

  • @SyberPrepper

    Wow. Love the staircase!!! One thought. You could use a thick piece of clear acrylic (instead of the painted plywood) at the top landing for some drama and to let it in more light. Great video and congrats on the Autodesk collab.

    • @CalebFaulkner
      @CalebFaulkner 8 років тому +11

      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 :)

    • @seigeengine
      @seigeengine 7 років тому +7

      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.

    • @seigeengine
      @seigeengine 7 років тому +1

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

  • @beebeetee2926

    BEAUTIFUL! So creative. It serves as stairs and a sculptural piece (especially without a railing) in the space. Nice touch with the play outside sign. I love spiral staircases.

  • @DougChristensen
    @DougChristensen 7 років тому +18

    My main question is how to calculate where to start the 1st stair so it met the landing perfectly. Love it!

    • @goldfingerrd
      @goldfingerrd 7 років тому +2

      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.

    • @steamyhotpoo
      @steamyhotpoo 7 років тому +5

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

    • @safelinefleet6633
      @safelinefleet6633 6 років тому +1

      +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.

  • @HowDareYouu
    @HowDareYouu 8 років тому +52

    u can CUT 1 template with the CNC and then all the rest with a router tool / it's cheaper and faster

    • @HomeMadeModern
      @HomeMadeModern  8 років тому +21

      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

    • @MESTER47
      @MESTER47 8 років тому

      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 ;)

    • @HowDareYouu
      @HowDareYouu 8 років тому +6

      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

    • @HomeMadeModern
      @HomeMadeModern  8 років тому +9

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

    • @rosserobertolli
      @rosserobertolli 8 років тому +2

      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...)

      @seigeengine 7 років тому +16

      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
