You are just the best. So glad you included your first mistake and correction. I teach high school CAD course and we just covered this and the modeling tools you can use to make sure your stair meet the right requirements. I loved that you pulled out a textbook for help! I can’t wait to show this to my students.
I made quite a big mistake on one of my recent projects. It's nice to see that extremely talented people like yourself make them as well. Nice way to stick through it and good job on the entire project.
Fail fast and fail cheap. Stuff happens. Coffee helps. That new space is amazing. Also, I took you up in your Skillshare offer a month or so ago. Ended up signing up for a year. A few hours of classes in video editing and my videos have drastically improved. Still a long way to go. Congrats on having the coolest studio on the Internet.
Great Job but if I could give you a small piece of advice it would be to ALWAYS GLUE AND SCREW your stair treds...this will guarantee that your stairs will not squeak over time...nails have a way of always causing squeaks and lumber as you know expands and contacts with varrying temperature....You did an amazing job and you made it look easy
This is a good practical stair case for a work space! I’ve been a carpenter for 44 years so I’ve seen quite a few tricks over the years, some of that experience was in various parts of Germany. This started off in Oberstdorf back in 1979, good times. Good stuff Laura!
Love your projects and attitude! Stairs are tough...... my one word of caution is in framing the bird mouth at the top you have reduced the strength of the stringer by about half. Easy to remedy.... just add a support to the bottom of the stringer attached to the underside of the mezzanine. Keep up the wonderful work! Thanks
My thought as well. We usually just cut the top on an angle and attach to a cross piece between the two stringers. Then nail that to the side of the upper floor. But in both cases, there is inherent stability because the bottom of the stairs are secured in concrete. So the most these can do is pivot. And because there's a relatively thick upper floor, there's no way the top of the stringer can make it by. Even if the birds mouth breaks it still isn't small enough to slip under
Love your videos Laura, your honesty about mistakes , your great enjoyable videos, and finally a woman how can do all that, as Men can not admit mistakes in the natural way you did, makes you real special out there, keep it up Laura
I'm a carpenter joiner and I don't see to much wrong with your stairs. It's a commercial setting. Made from good timbers. okay it's not a traditional method but they work right. Only thing would be screws would be better. Some glue also. 👍
Great job , I built staircase s very steep due to limited space In a lawyer's office a few years ago, it was my 1st time building stairs, I measured like 10 times, built them in my shop, sanded them nice and stained and finished them at my shop, then disassembled them and reassembled them on site, it took me about a week at my shop, and 1 weekend to install and finish trims and details...staircase still standing 15 years later... I love your videos , great job, I also work alone most of the time, its relaxing ...
It's cool if you are learning and building random stuff (stairs) but just for other people watching, it is not recommended to build stairs this way. Get your local building code or ask local building authorities. Find out your minimum and maximum rise and run of your stairs. In my local area the code is as follows: Rise = 125mm to 200mm Run = 210mm to 355mm using a general rule of: rise + run should equal between 430mm - 460mm, which also should give a comfortable stair angle close to 30 to 35 degrees. Also, if you do not know what you are doing, please get help or get a professional to do it. Those stairs can be a huge safety hazard: tripping, collapse, etc. Additionally, you also have no handrails or guardrails. Wow. Living life on the edge I guess. Good Luck!
I love my Sunday mornings. I wake up, grab a coffee, sit down at the computer and watch your video. Always inspiring and motivating to get my day going. Thanks!
The same book "Holztechnik Fachkunde" you can find in my book shelf too! I bought it for 5 Euro - it was one time in use by an other owner, but the content may be still the same... ;-) You are great, you have an emotional fire which we can see, follow and take it as a motivation!

Not only did you show a way to do (and not to do) a project on my bucket list, but you are supported by a sponsor I am actually interested in. Great stuff!
Audio levels suck in this one. The music is loud in all of the videos but this had speech which was quiet in comparison. Adjusting the volume up to hear what you're saying is greeted with the ear shattering music afterwards.
Here are the audio levels for the clip pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=f921fc6434ef5b10ebbac8d41326842f Yes, I commented about a problem in the video, so unreal
Wie cool und ehrlich du den Leuten auch vom ersten Misserfolg berichtest! Und dann in Englisch das Buch mit der deutschen Schrittmaßregel komentierst! Sehr schön dokumentiert 👍
Laura, ich finde dich unglaublich... unglaublich originell, erfrischend und inspirierend. Und ich fühle mich so so angesprochen.. ich liebe es mir Dinge selbst beizubringen und nun sehe ich endlich eine Frau die genau so " unkonventionell " an das MACHEN geht, wie ich es gern noch mehr würde. Du machst ganz viel Mut und Motivation !! Danke! Liebe Grüße aus Leipzig
The mixing between the music and your talking when you messed up was super painful. Radically different volume levels. You could hurt someone with that kind of soft to instantly loud transition.
very nice of you but she'll make sod all from UA-cam. patreons and sponsorship will be the majority of her income. as rude as it is to discuss to help become a patreon
Laura du bist die coolste 38 jährige Holz Designerin, die ich so auf UA-cam gesehen habe. Deine Videos bereiten mir immer wieder sehr viel Freude und ich schaue sie mit voller Begeisterung. Ich finde es toll was du aus Holz und Metall zauberst. Vielen Dank für deine Mühe und die Arbeit die du dir machst um uns das Fußvolk bei Laune zu halten. Viele liebe Grüße Alex !!! P.s deine Lederstiefel sind der Hammer 🔨 ich dachte für einen kurzen Moment das ich einen Cowboy sehe 😁😁😁
@@julianamaris1164 this isn't something that you joke about mate. Stairs are either built right or they aren't. It's very black and white. (I am a 2nd generation builder with +15 years experience)
You could do all that walking back and forth with a level, and moving the stringers back and forth.... Or you could take the total elevation distance, divide it into 8 inch or less risers (more of a rule than a suggestion) and use a little math and a framing square. Not a sermon, just a thought
I love craftspeople that embrace and teach their mistakes. They're a large part of any craft, and being real helps new folks SO much. (For people that need both comfortable stairs AND to save space - Google "space saving loft stairs". They're steep stairs with alternating treads.)
I like the effect but so many things. Could have been done differently. My main concern is all those. Sharp and rough edges that should have been addressed. At least rounding over all the edges. Before being fastened down.
Ikr!? I'm watching this going "wtf is this bitch doing and what took 8 hrs??!!" Seriously i can have a set of stairs built and installed in 45 minutes.
Laura, you are my favorite youtube maker, (sorry diresta, love you as well) Truly an inspiration and may I say a lovely woman also. Thanks for all the great ideas, techniques and joy you bring to youtube and the world. Cheers!
That was a lot of fun! I see comments saying that's not how you make stairs. Your stairs are fine, and the're safe, however, your next video should be a rail. You did a fine job.
Info from "Zinken und Zapfen" under an other comment: Book called Fachkunde Holztechnik amzn.to/2XgE7Qb its the newest version. Book is for carpenter education in germany. Good Luck
That worked out well in the end. Stairs (here) are specified as rise/run instead of degrees. Max rise is 7 5/8" (sorry about inch measurements), so I take the total rise and divide by 7 and round up to give me the number of treads needed, so my rise is always under 7". Tread I figure by 2 2x6's which gives me 11" which is above code and gives me an inch for the nosing (how much the upper tread overlaps the one below it). Our building code also requires a railing so you don't fall off the edge. Hope this simplified method helps in the future. Great looking space.
I hate it when that happens. But by the looks of things you didn't waste much material. Nice job as always Laura. PS. also love you talking in the video.
Do you need to use pressure treated lumber for this kind of project? I am trying to make steps in my garage which has concrete floor. Not sure if regular lumber can directly touch the concrete..

Good job on the stairs - the first ones were doable but like you said, not for your application. In some places (like a loft) the space dictates the pitch, but you've got lots of room. Speaking of ROOM! Wow - I think you're going to pick up subscribers who just want to look at your new shop! Amazing! As always, keep up the great work - you, April, and Jimmy keep me watching and learning.
Vi un millón de videos, llenos de cálculos y comentarios boludos, y llega está gringa y puff, la escalera más fácil sencilla y funcional, sin vueltas!!! Espectacular!!!!
Laura muchas gracias por el video, me sirvio como un buen ejemplo para montar la escalera principal, saludos desde Mexico; ademas tienes una bella sonrisa.
Hans de Groot that's what I thought. But is it safe? It's somehow just clamped in between the two rails with screws, nope? I would feel more secure, if the rails had like an inward L-shape, where the entire construction can sit on.
How do you mount the stair at the top? Maybe I missed that. Is it just hanging there? I am also wondering about the cutouts at the top from the side pieces; doesn’t that take away a lot of the strength of them?
It's a mistake many people make. But it's steeper than 45 deg. Most homes are 45Deg. Your first attempt was much steeper. Great job and we appreciate people who can show that we're only human.
You are just the best. So glad you included your first mistake and correction.

If a step wasn't level, how did you make the adjustment? By trimming the spacers with the track saw?

Please not glue the staris. The woods are working in different ways, so the glue makes no sense.

or some long strong screws from bottom to top . on heavy loads it maybe could rip right at the point of the triangle ...

Sometimes the failures and solutions are the best part. Great that you didn't pretend it never happened. Stairs are tricky.
Sharing your mistakes shows your integrity and helps us learn not to make the same ones....Good on you Laura! Smudo is awesome too!

Or a fireman's pole
Good job Laura. I love it when people admit their mistakes and make the necessary changes. Your Chanel is so real
Super showing mistakes happen and you learnt from it
She is just doing her way like Macgyver. It works just fine for her. No need to give her negative comments.
Audio levels suck in this one. The music is loud in all of the videos but this had speech which was quiet in comparison. Adjusting the volume up to hear what you're saying is greeted with the ear shattering music afterwards.

Volume was fine here so maybe it's on your end.

on my stereo with sub the problem was real
I may not have put it quite like that, but yes, audio levels were wrong for me too. I find this with a number of youtubers.

More natural light. Eye friendly shop. Nice!
Thanks Laura..I got it as an idea of making one in my house.
Many thanks from Indonesia
"get a coffee and start fresh" i love that comment!
Think of the giant book case you can build with the mistake scraps 😁
if you look again the steep stringers became the supports no waste,, just some learning curve time
you've made a nice, beautiful designed staircase. compliments
I'm so happy for you and your new workshop. A pleasant staircase to walk is important and especially if you use it daily. Greetings from my channel.😄

Ya we're taught to do them quite differently in school
