Love it. Looks great maybe try using all that dead space inside the steps for some drawers or hidden secret storage.
agree, storage in there would be ideal ... working on it. thanks for checking it out!
@@metaspencer , ya i'm building almost the exact same thing but need to try and maximize on my storage. Great video, love all the climbing stuff in the background!

Thank you so much for this video out is exactly what I need for my emergency exit in my underground home! What kind of wood did you use and what size?
Excellent! All 2x10s
These stairs are now on my bucket list to make!! What a great guide! MUCH nicer than store bought spirals! 🙌🏻👌🏻💞
It worked out pretty well for us. Big thanks!
Go kart is coming along you do some good work for sure.
Wow! Really like these stairs, gives me a great idea for attic access at my mom's historic home. It would fit the era and décor perfectly!
Great to hear! 😀
Those stair turned out great! Always impressed with your build skills
Thanks! Nice of you to check it out
Wow! I would pay to be your apprentice for a summer. And, I love would love to hang with Tink and Millie. They are so adorable. Great video!
Sounds fun! Thanks for checking it out
Wow, nice work. Great job. Thanks for the video.
thanks for checking it out!
So glad I found this, I'm right now confusing myself with calculations for my little loft stairway (which I have found myself referring to as the stairway from hell.)
Love the build as you go method ! The dog is great as well, kind of like the canary in the mine, if the pooch zips right up and down you know you've got a shot , but if there's any struggle at all you know some redesigning is needed. Thank you, wish me luck !
you'll do great with it! I know what you mean about the math getting crazy and confusing, but just take it slow and you'll have an awesome project
Beautiful work!!
Big thanks!!
excellent woodcraft, camerawork, and editing! facing a similar build challenge and this has given me some food for thought. does seem the stacked box voids could be opened up and put to use as storage. great work!
Yep, wasted space in the way I did it, but solid and worked in some other ways. Good luck with your project!
Exactly what the space needed. Spot on, Spencer! 😀
Thanks, man. Always good to hear from ya
Beautiful built!
Thanks for checking it out!
A satisfying video to watch - appreciate your attention to detail and precision! Subscribed!
Big thanks! Great to hear
Maybe you could use the ladder on the bus like if you build a deck up top? Fine work, you know those boxes are never coming down.
I’m definitely using the ladder somewhere ... love that thing
The stairs look ace!
Thanks man!
That's awesome! Well done. Gave me a great inspiration for mine tight space stairwell.
Oh yeah, great to be able to use a small space
Fantastic work!
Thanks! :)
love this new addition! It fits into the house just perfectly!
You’re the best!
Excellent carpentry, Tink & Millie rock and your dynastic rings are such a great idea!
Thanks for checking it out! We certainly have fun with it
I'm from the isle of man and need to do somthing similar, very good video, thank you! :)
Good to hear! There seem to be an abundance of funky houses in your area so I'm sure it'll work out well
That looks great good job Love it.
Thanks man! I’ve been enjoying your gocart project
Very good quality stairs look cool love the wire effect for the railing
Thanks, man!
Wow. Simply genius. Well done.
Thanks for checking it out!!
This video was incredibly helpful, I have to get some attic stairs and mine wont be this tight, but the techniques and design decisions have helped me considerably!
Oh good! And best of luck with your project!
I have something similar and was trying so hard to figure out the spiral staircase, I walked and walked up pretend stairs in circles. And finally decided to go with a modular kit instead of a spiral. Thanks for making me feel not so crazy lol
I bet that kit works out great! Look luck as you put it together
As the owner of an 80yo house, built with recycled 2x4s, I just want to say that you’re right - a real dimensional 2x4 is a thing of beauty. It can also be a pain when you’re remodeling! Your stairs look great!!!
Thanks for checking it out! :)
nice vid...nice solution - what were the final dims on the risers and treads...and what is horizontal projection - ? how is coming down this steep stair - reminds me of netherlands.
Reminds us of some stairs we've walked in Europe, too. Final height was a bit higher than traditional stairs, but you get used to it really quick.
Horizontal depends on where you are on the stairs: the wrapping stairs are much wider on the outside (13" or more)
Did you think about tearing the flue/chimney out to get more space? I know it is a mess, but I tore one out on a similar project. Good Video.
We've considered it for years but kind of like the style of it as it runs through the three floors of the house. To take it down would be messy but likely worth it.
Didn't take long for the dogs to enjoy the Dog Convenience Stairs!
haha ... I thought we'd have to teach them to use the stairs, but they got right into it
okay I love that you did it on the fly so to speak, and I used your idea as my own on my loft stairs but, I was wondering, did you eventually take out the wire and add something more pleasing to the eye? The reason that I ask is because you have such a nice looking stair case, it deserves a more creative finish to make it super cool. I'm not putting it down I love what you did, but it looks so great that the end needs some more creativeness to really make it pop, maybe wood stringers that flow with the stairs? But thanks for you help it will totally help me do my stairs, which I have been thinking about for a very long time. Thanks for your video, it helped me tremendously, Very Cool. Sincerely, Christi Carl-Galla Huntington Beach, Southern California USA Rock On!!!
I was thinking of welding up a custom railing so yeah, it’s crossed my mind 😀 thanks for checking it out
spiral stair handrail look at images to see ideas
The dogs make it extra special. I love dogs. I have two yours seem to love you very much. Cool
nice glad were i live there is no rule on stair sizes but that is a nice flight of stairs i would have used the void spaces as a sort of storage my self :)
No rules sounds great! Yeah, storage is a good idea ... more planning and thinking and I could have done so. Thanks for checking it out!
Hi! I really loved your video. I am building a small cabin and my dad and I are designing essentially the same staircase. Your video was a great tutorial.
That cabin sounds great!
Awesome! Any future chance of build vids? You're building my future dream and I'd love to see ideas and progress...
Oh yeah! Just look at the channel for regular uploaded videos
nice one. The only critique is that now you have to step over a quite high step in order to get to the room behind the staircase.
There is another door to that room, fortunately! :)
@@metaspencer all clear now :)
Beautiful
Thanks!
Nice build.
Thanks! It was a fun one
Great work! I like the way you think!
Nice of you to check it out! :) Take care
It's hard to tell but looks like you cut through structural cross members, and no longer have a direct support between the chimney and a wall on two connecting sides? How is that working out now that it's been in place for a couple years
Yeah the previous owners did a wild "remodel" removing several cross members. Fortunately, with the gambrel roof, load is largely directed to the base of the gambrel form (Dutch Colonial). So the house remains sound ... I ran this stay case up between the cross ties
That was Great! I will definatly subscribe. Thanks
Thanks for checking it out! :)
great job!
Big thanks. It sure was nice to make this change
Could you share the schematics and dimensions of the pieces you made ? Would that be doable ?
Sorry, but I don't work from schematics ... I just measured specifically to fit the space which is what you'll likely need to do too
Wow! Amazing!
Thanks!
Nice work! . . . . Rog
Big thanks! :)
Great vid
Thanks for checking it out!
If Milly approved, that's good enough..I like those curved stairs as well, they took care of that, (yea I know ya like it, move on already) Ladder and made falling down the Ladder, (yea ya said ya really liked it) less of an issue. Very functional as well for those 4 legged inhabitants. Good use of limited space !!
Thanks for checking it out man! Take care
Managing small space is so inspirational. I have the same problem right now: the Total Rise is 98 inches and total tread is 50 inches. How would you design the stairs?
It all depends on your materials and the nitty gritty of your space, but it's sounding like 9-11 stairs depending on how it all lays out. Spiral all the way up?
@@metaspencer would spiral work? where do you put the center pillar?
Spiral is nice ... central post is dead center in the space
This is amazing work! What was the area dimensions of floor space required in doing this?
Would love to be able to do something this as my space is quite tight
about 4' x 4' but we've sold that house since then so I don't have the measurements ... just do the math on your stair treads and you'll see if it'll work out
Very cool
Thanks for checking it out!
Very cool!
Thanks!
Could anybody could comment on whether this would fly in the UK? or would the building regulations consider this unsuitable? I though it was pretty neat!
I don't see any responses here ... check with your local code office if you're worried about it
You are very talented
Thanks! :)
What is the dimensions of the floor space that it took up? Very nice job!
It was about 4'x4' as I recall :)
I wasn't sure at first, it didn't look like there was going to be enough space for a stair but you pulled it off and it looks great.
Definitely a tight space! Thanks for checking out the video :)
Very Cool!
thanks!
narrow, but looks good
Definitely narrow given our limited space ... thanks for checking it out!
Genius
Thanks for checking it out! The stairs were a real game changer for us
Your beasts are so curious 😍
Oh yeah, they want to know about EVERYTHING :)
dude youre totally amazing
You’re too nice!!
Amazing!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for checking it out!
So, how much floor space was used at the base?
About 4’ square
two thumbs up
Thanks for checking it out!
I liked what you were doing all the way up to the point right before you started putting the wire in for the railing. It doesn’t even go at the house but that’s my opinion.
I can see your point and opinion there man. Makes sense. The house originally had a modernish upstairs and no railings whatsoever, so the wire idea was to keep things kind of open but safe. If I were to do it over again I'd probably weld up a railing.
Stairs look amazing...But here's a thought, that "wasted" space of the lower steps could have been used as storage, maybe with drawers or a cubby door...Just a thought...
Yeah, you’re so right. That’s a clear downside of this design
Awesome..
thanks for checking it out!
Youre good, did you study this art
Thanks for checking it out! I'm self taught :)
the shoeless carpenter
Yup
What are the space dimensions ?
This was an odd space roughly 4’x4’x10’ but you’ll have to do the math on your layout
It was nice managed by you...👍
Great college effort...when you are just too smart for your own good.
Not quite sure what you mean, but thanks for checking out the project
Shit. I am lacking. Nice Build.
Thanks for checking it out!
winder*
Can you come to my house and build those steps for me? I have a similar tight space and my contractor was well not so talented so I have a loft bed with a step ladder right now,
Sounds fun! I'd love to ... if you live in Australia or someplace, I'll just need a round-trip ticket :) Your loft bed sounds cool!
@@metaspencer I live in Southern California Shortly after I watched your video I came across these stairs, pretty amazing don't you think. Well, maybe you could be a phone consultant to the guy who's doing my stairs instead. What are your billable conference rates? I would LoL but I am only half-joking. pin.it/DskoMwX
@@lynnbeldinggoogle Oh yeah, those are pretty cool ... your guy can do it! :)
Did you move? I thought lived in a home that you built? I may be behind the times!
No move, this is our house in town ... thanks for checking it out!
A lot labor involved obviously not for beginners without a bunch tool 🙄
Yes but well worth the work ... thanks for checking it out!
wow! this is what i'm looking for! hope to have measurements for this
Oh good. You're gonna love your new staircase
