    You make the best free hand plasma cuts I have seen.
    I just found the channel you two have created and I enjoy seeing how the two of you work together, wonderful job.

    Honestly would have flipped the stair tread the other way so the angle faced downward and braced itself against the wall piece instead of pulling on it. Ogher than that pretty good concept. Watch the corners walking past.

    • @nekola203
      @nekola203 2 місяці тому +3

      agree. this angle puts pressure on the 'upright' part of the treads that is only welded. if it was upside down, then the pressure on the 'upright' part, would've been absorbed by the C channel strength

      I was thinking the same thing. Or weld 45 degree braces under each stair tred.

    • @michaelbuchholz2164

      Yes. You are totally right.

      I specifically work in stair industry and could not believe they installed the tread brackets like they did. Exactly what you said, the flange should have been on the bottom side of the bracket to counteract a thing called gravity. This would have provided more strength overall to the outside edge of the tread bracket.

    • @PacificPinesRanch
      @PacificPinesRanch  Місяць тому

      Thank you! This is a great idea. The only reason we didn't do that is because we have material that is going on top of the steel tread and it would interfere with it if the angle was pointed down. We also want to see through the stairs to give the "floating" effect. :)

    I just wanted to say that I love your channel format and content. I just caught up on everything and love the detail you go in for the construction. I have been planning for a few years for an off-grid container build so it has been great to see your plans come together. One thing I always thought watching from the beginning is that I almost expected a voice overlay of Vaillant saying, "2 hours later" at some point 🤣

    Not an engineer or a welder, but it seems like if you flipped the treads so the flange pointed down instead of up it might be more stable. Kind of like a built in gusset. Probably too late now, but I'm sure they'll be fine any way. It does look fabulous though!

    • @PacificPinesRanch
      @PacificPinesRanch  Місяць тому

      Thank you so much!! Yes they would definitely be stronger that way. We did not do that because we'll be installing something on top of the steel treads and if they were pointed down it would interfere with the material. You'll see in a future video. :)

    for multiple cuts like that you can make a template of your hole and use it as a guide. Just remember to enlarge it by the offset of your torch or it will be too small. You can clamp or tack weld it on the surface to make it easier.

  • @woodintheblood4104
    @woodintheblood4104 2 місяці тому

    I've learned a nearly 100% effective way for stopping hiccup from a buddy of mine back in like third grade of primary school (we were playing Comodore 64 and sharing knowledge about hiccup). The thing is you have to tighten your diaphragm muscles and the trick that work pretty much every time is to get a deep breath and hold it while trying hard to blow the air out, preferably holding your nose squished with your fingers (maybe it's just a mental thing but works ;-). Do that 2 to 3 times holding breath for as long as you can.
    I've taught it once to a guy on a train when we were coming back from a music festival in the morning tired as hell and he was quite angry for the whole even as he had the hiccup for like a few hours. He tried it and it just went away. As he put it "one positive thing of that whole event" ;-) But honestly Blues Express Festival was great thing while it lasted. The steam engine called "Piękna Helena" (Beautiful Helena) was pulling carts slowly for like 6 hours on a distance of 150-200km. There were two concert carts - one for jam session ant the other for regular concert. Additionally there were 6 stops along the way and an each there were small like 20-30 minutes concerts right nest to the stations (sometimes with musicians on the roof heh) and once train arrived to its final stop there was the main big concert in the evening. Don't know why they stopped organizing it after something like 18 years... OK, I got sentimental :p

  • @philclayton5163

    Just as a suggestion, put the camera behind a mask or filter for the welding shots. It might mean a bit more setup but it has multiple benefits. First is I’m epileptic, fortunately not photosensitive, but the brightness of the welder might affect those that are. Secondly I believe the brightness of the welder will degrade the camera significantly over time like it affects eyes when exposed? I could be wrong on this one, not sure.
    Love the content though,

    I'm so impressed by how straight your plasma cuts are. Incredible! :)
    How deep is the landing at the top going to be? It looks waaaaay too shallow and restrictive, especially if you picture yourself getting furniture up there around the rails, or even just carrying bags.

    • @slanew
      @slanew 2 місяці тому

      Also, would the steps be better supported by installing them in an upside down position? (so that the vertical kick-board part is at the front, underneath the step hanging down and pressing against the the side beam when someone steps on it rather than trying to pull down and away from the beam in the way that you have it)

    • @PacificPinesRanch
      @PacificPinesRanch  Місяць тому

      Thank you so much!! The landing is pretty large, although it looks narrow from below. I think it's somewhere around 45"x6.5' if I remember well. We will be putting material on the top of the steel treads which is why we placed them the way that we did. You will see in a future video. :)

  • @AndrewduToit

    As a Draughtsman in construction the standard stear tread should be min 230mm deep. Not sure but yours look a bit short. Specially the way your foot hangs over it. Otherwise it looks good. I like the inovation. Will there be some hand railing?

    • @PacificPinesRanch
      @PacificPinesRanch  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks so much!! Yes they are wayyy to short to use as a tread by themselves. We will be putting something on top that's much wider. Stay tuned to find out more about what we choose! Railings will be installed too :)

    LOLOLOL Yes i do.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sit down somewhere comfortable Take a very deep breath very deep keep it in as long as possible. Then let it out slowly until all the air is out your lungs. owns all the air is out take slow and shallow breaths. while doing this you got to keep very still..... It worked for me when i was in the army years ago!!! When you could not muve for days on end.

    Cure for hiccups. Get a glass of water and put your mouth on the other side of the glass with your chin over the opening in the glass. You'll need to face downwards. Lean over with the top of your head towards the ground and take large gulps of the water. I've done this since I was a child. Those stairs are going to look amazing!

  • @gusvazquez8931
    @gusvazquez8931 Місяць тому

    I’m no genius but the angle down not only looks better and adds strength, it also allows for a complete step (more foot surface). The way it’s done it looks like the step is too narrow and not the typical 10”/12” length of surface.

  • @FromTexas-c8i
    @FromTexas-c8i 2 місяці тому

    Just a thought: on the perpendicular support, cut a v-shape, using multiple welds on each side to reinforce that section. Hence strengthing the weld and support over the lifetime of the step.

  • @peterwilberforce2890

    • @PacificPinesRanch
      @PacificPinesRanch  Місяць тому

      Thank you!! It depends on what thickness of steel I'm cutting. I usually crank it pretty high for thicker steel and lower it for thinner steel. Somewhere around 80PSI for the thicker pieces.

      We've used many materials with the wet sandblaster. I highly recommend coal slag. We use a 4400 PSI pressure washer.

    There is a Lazer rust removing machine that is small and may be worth your consideration. It is far quicker.

    According to my knowledge you will have to weld a flat bar to all the ends of the steps from up to down then the steps will not vibrat
