  • It's the first time I’ve ever built a catwalk and made a curved handrail.
    However, it turned out well! It was hard to make the plan for the whole job.

      To be fair, in the event that you do fall the safety harness is going to do a lot more for you than trying to miss the ground will.

      Consumer base difference. People just don't stay in one place long enough to pay for this quality of work. Some do don't get me wrong, but most are going to move to chase job oppertunities and don't see the value in doing this level of work in their home.

    @PerkBuilders Год назад +83

    It’s a shame that the codes in America have no room for ‘fun’. This could not legally be built in a home here, yet it’s so beautiful, and thoughtfully crafted. Your culture respects the builder by putting some of the responsibility on the user. Unfortunately, any baluster spacing greater than 4” is illegal here because of the potential for children falling through. Even the curved railing would not work, as the code clearly states the height between 38-42 for a barrier railing.

    • @PerkBuilders
      @PerkBuilders Год назад +8

      @@cmmartti while it doesn’t have much to do with the point of my original comment, you are incorrect. Graspable handrails must fall between 26 and 32 inches and yes, they need to be lower than the barrier railing because they of course need to be attached to something. (Try using a graspable handrail at 38-42 inches, hopefully you’re 8 feet tall). As for the height of a barrier railing, surely it could be taller, like, for instance, maybe it’s a wall! But since we’re talking about a barrier RAILING there indeed is a height limit, and this is limited by the structural qualities of posts at different heights. Over 42” the resistive strength of posts, railings, and balusters together against a lateral load becomes more tenuous, so the code limits it to that height. Strength of balusters as they get extended past 36” in length also plays a role in this height limitation. As for the “loft” idea, no home is getting a CO with an open-sided sleeping loft, unless there is no permanent access to the loft (like a ladder or stairs), and the loft is sworn on paper to never be used for sleeping. I’ve been through all of this. Whether you alter things later once they’ve passed, that’s up to you, but since my comment has to do with code compliance and I’m not interested in creating misinformation, I had to write this out for curious onlookers.

    • @PerkBuilders
      @PerkBuilders Год назад +11

      @@cmmartti absolutely! And I’m not trying to be a butthole. What I really meant to say is that I wish there was space for any kind of creativity here in America. Liability is truly stunting our carpentry legacy. Shoyan knows what he’s doing. He’s an artist, and it seems that he’s able to make educated decisions with stairs, joinery, etc and the inspectors trust his expertise. Over here it’s like if an engineer didn’t print it out on 36x24 paper you’re looked at with incredulity

    • @arterca
      @arterca Год назад +3

      In the US we could maybe do cable in between? Kind of like a deck would have. It would allow all of the light and sightline while increasing safety. It detracts from the wood look but it could very possibly add a touch of modern to the traditional look. I also LOVE the diamond shaped plugs.

    There are plenty of methods to make this passable by US codes and still keep the style. One example would be using glass between the posts. The glass acts as a safety feature but doesn’t take away from aesthetic of the railing.
    Also, the maximum height of a railing is a suggestion for reference, not a requirement.

    You certainly have built up an enormous 'knowledge bank' over the years & you put it all to work in every project you build. It is mesmerizing to watch you work with so much attention to 'perfection' in every detail. You have a unique ability to solve all problems that may present with such certainty. I just love the way that you seem to 'glide' through a build. Congratulations on producing a visual delight, because that is what this 'catwalk' is. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

    Noticing all the little ways that you use your tools, templates and so on. Interesting trouble shooting methods, but it works. Maybe invest in safety harness for the hgt. Wood shavings to wipe down tools, use what is at hand, my father use to do the same thing, towels stay wet after use in cold weather, shavings absorb water and dry out.

    The power saw doesn't cut well, and he still makes it fit perfectly the first time. I keep thinking he will do it too fast and mess up the build. But Shoyan-san always saves it! His skill is such that it doesn't matter if he makes a small mistake or the wood is bad. He will make it perfect in the end. 🙂

    I am a carpenter w/45 yrs experience. You do nice work. Like you I put off "upgrading" to a smart phone until I was forced to by the 5G change. I don't like smart phones, they're not that intelligent. I used to just open my phone to answer it. Now I first have to find it (because it's too large to carry on the job) , then wipe off my hands (too valuable to ruin) , swipe 3 or 4 times to get it to light up , put in my pin & finally swipe the answer button (3 or 4 times) How is this smarter ? If the phone Co. wants to track an old carpenter so bad I wish they'd given me an option to just wear a small antenna instead & let me keep my old flip phone.
    Anyway I liked your video, thank you for posting it. - USA

    Very elegant. Setting the curved handrail to match the off-center window very ingenious. Safety and baluster spacing - allow for the possibility of children getting on the catwalk. So in US I think building code - and prudence - would require 4 inch/ 10 cm baluster spacing.
