    It's not surprising that those stairs look the way they do, every time I watch one of your videos your work is excellent and your ideas mind blowing. I haven't seen such creativity since 40 years ago when my grandfather had his own shop and I helped him after school. It makes me feel good inside that there are great people like you doing the kind of work that will inspire future generations of wood artists. Thank you for your videos, keep up the good work.

    I've done stairs of all kind for a very long time, you are doing a very nice job, I got to say I am impressed; I've watched almost all your presentations on you tube, it is obvious, by no fault of yours due to your age, you are yet to mature based on some of your comments toward your fellow woodworkers, just like your comment above; take it from some of us that was doing this before you were born, YOU DIDN'T INVENT THE WALKING, THE WALKINT WAS THERE BEFORE YOU AND WILL BE THERE AFTER YOU ARE GONE, therefor all of us has something to learn from each other, as I humbly, am learning from you some stuff; I like what you are doing workwise, hope you learn to respect others and their work, some of the people's crappy work that you have to fix after, makes you better at what you are doing; I like your clean line work (tight joints, etc) that's what this is all about; keep up the good work; unlike some of these scrubbed shops shows that one only see the impeccable expensive tools and not one particle of dust on them, you proved to me that you are producing beautiful work and your focus is not being cleanfreak individual; if you don't like my comment, I am not gonna apologize for it, one day, when you get to my age, will understand what I meant, only problem, I might not be around for you to thank me, lol.

    • @bluebird5100
      @bluebird5100 6 років тому +16

    • @deanaoxo
      @deanaoxo 6 років тому +6

      Sadly, most clients don't understand anything about process, and just want what they saw somewhere in a book, or magazine or the 'net. It cost how much???? I was just asked to repair a very very expensive piece, which, is quite factually, unrepairable. Total rebuild will be almost double. Why oh why didn't they just do it right to begin with....

    • @PassionforWoodworking
      @PassionforWoodworking 6 років тому +9

      It's not that my clients don't appreciate the process it's just unaffordable for most people. It must have been amazing to have been a craftsman during the economic peaks of the world.

Personally given the thickness of the stringers used there would be plenty of room to trench them out to a greater depth to hold the treads firmly without the need to wedge on the outside of the staircase. :) I do appreciate some people would actually like the wedges.

    In this internet age we take access to knowledge somewhat for granted. In the days of yesteryear you would have had to become an apprentice or join a guild to learn such secrets. May the Lord bless you and your growing school of woodworkers. Perhaps form a guild...

    Good job man!
    I am a jointer myself and I really like looking at good workmanship!
    The web is so clogged up with DIY and home tips that people forgets what is a true carpenter!
    You proved you are well equipped one!!

    Love your work. The joinery is just superb coupled with the contrast against the ceder with maple wedges. Just lush.

    Did something similar for the Thomas Eakins house in Philadelphia. Except they wanted smooth stringer so it was lag bolts with wood plugs. Union work to boot. Wish I could line up with someone who does this stuff all the time. Very fulfilling.
