Fantastic job Joey, I"m so glad to see you here on youtube again and you're still up and running during this pandemic. Best to you and your family. Take care.
Joey lives in NZ where there are lot's of sensible people. Pandemic has been eliminated there so everything is back to normal. Wishing you all the best wherever you are
Atothezeezee there is a video on RUclips from an English craftsman well it's actually in around ten parts where he calculates,draws out and then constructs on site a sweeping curved staircase and it is well worth watching. His is actually small than this as it's only one section but it does nearly a full turn back on itself and has closed stringers where oak treads and risers are routed in to the strings which along with some other quirks adds a lot more to the project in terms of volume of work and time taken.(I don't say that trying to take any of the respect due for the craftsmanship shown in this video but just to give you a gist of the video.) the English guy--tony constructs a similar stud work cage as the one seen in this video and he explains every single step in a way that leaves you fully understanding how to do one yourself. If you search- build with A&E you will find the videos they are well worth watching!
as a guy who does alittle woodworking in the shed, i am amazed at this project. Those stairs came out awesome, great job. Watching this build video, has taught me a thing or two, so thank you Joey
as a joiner in wellington and having made curved stairs before your craftmanship is first class ex video this was my first intro to your channel well done
King post timber works you made a lovely job of these stairs,I watched a similar video from the English Channel"build with A&E" where he built a slightly similar staircase but with some different quirks such as oak treads routed in to curved closed stringers. Between yours and his videos I have learnt one heck of a lot about building curved staircases this week. Thank you for documenting your craftsmanship sir.
Hi Joey! I have built close to 100 free standing stairs like this one here in Southern California. My company was named FREE STANDING STAIR. After 2008 recession I chose to change careers. It is cool to see you figure out the brackets for the top of stairs. I have made many brackets out of 1/4" steel with a gusset added for straight. I used a 9" paint roller to apply the paint and worked out of 5 gallon buckets. Nice work and nice to see someone else tackle this type of project. It is a stressful job but pays well.
Geeeez, what a mess that could have been! I'm sure glad someone knew what they were doing. It made my head hurt just thinking about all the angles and curves, but looks like you pulled it off. Congrats Joey, another job well done
What kinda screws are you using to secure the steel stair brackets go the risers? I have a hard time believing the steps are securely held in place purely by the shear strength of the screws
Wow! This is the type of mind bendingly awkward, highly complex projects that I think would be a bit too scary for many fairly proficient woodworkers to even consider taking on. Not much margin for any miscalculations, mistakes or slip ups. Really amazing, phenomenal work!!
Beautifully done Joey. Really interesting watching the planning and production process that you went through. I've rebuilt a couple of large stairs but curved ones like that are way above my skill level.
Your Dad knows his way around the job site like a professional. I'm sure you learned a lot from him over the years. Looks great. Thanks for sharing your talents and thoughts.
Awesome does not really begin to approach the finished product - would LOVE to see the hand rails that you fashioned in the gaps between and how you blended them into the existing stairs. Major Kudos to you and your team !!
Very nice work. Way to stay on for the 5 days and stay true to your word as well. Most contractors would delay everyone else and still screw up the job and here you finished it and it looks wonderful. I’ll bet you guys felt good standing back and seeing it done.
Great effort Joey. Curves are never easy especially something as complex as this. Just about to install a flight of stairs myself (not quite as complicated as yours) so excellent timing.
What a absolutely superb video and the craftsmanship is on another level you truly are a master woodworker joey and thank you for sharing ive been a carpenter for nearly 24years now and im still learning things from watching videos like yours so thank you . All the very best and stay safe from darrall in the UK 🇬🇧 👍
What an awesome project Joey, you have come along way since your scared to death begining of Covid video when you didnt know if your business would survive. I am so happy for you and think you are one great dude. Cheers, keep on truckin. Man I enjoyed watching this video..... Eveytime I saw you drill a hole, I was like........ yikes! so much work to possibly jack up.......
Amazing job, just the math alone would drive me crazy 😜. Great to see your dad and you working side by side. Incredible craftsmanship as always. Take Care
Been listening to this mammoth production come to life on the podcast and seeing it in stages on Insta... nothing prepares you for the full experience. What an awesome effort mate, looks sensational, a real portfolio piece. (You can show a client exactly what you'll never do again 🤣)
What a fantastic job, you are a brave man taking on something like that ! You should be very proud of yourself and your crew, thank you for putting this video together ! Take a nice rest and on to the next project Stay well and safe! Blessings to you and your family!
Dang it Joey! I was just checking what's up before hitting the rack and I find a half hour+ KingPost video in my queue. Who's going to bed now? Always a pleasure to see wat you're working on and to see the beautiful results. Always cool to see your dad in your videos as well. He looks like he could outlast all of us. Rock on my friend and Rock on dad!
Impressive build - interested to know how you dealt with installing the guarding neatly with those newels offset from the floor edge as they are.. I'm in the middle of building something much simpler - two straight flights - but getting the guarding to work neatly has been a PITA as the floors had all been finished and the floor openings not made big enough to accommodate a simple design and easy install.
I'll be adding a packer so the hand rail post lines up with the newal post. I'll also be adding a "capping" that covers the floor to stair well wall transition.
Hey guys would love to see more detail on how you finished off the top caps on the handrail? Butt joints and glued? Rounding over the edge etc?blending the joints?
Great work! You have a good team. I could not tell from the pictures just how the stud frame was attached to the floor, please explain that aspect. Thanks, JIM
Awesome, awesome . . . it's had to figure which was the most difficult, the design, build or instulation . . . one wicket undertaking. Cheers, and Merry Christmas.
Having a woodworking company I would not dare to take a job like this. No idea how to calculate then end price of something like this. How do you calculate the labour upfront?
Yea well same here. I just worked through each step and guessed at time for each step. It took longer than I thought but running other jobs parallel helped to minimise cost.
Hi Joey..this was awesome!!! I was just wondering how long did it take you to build the stairs.. that was an amazing project. Thanks for sharing it to us folks in Alabama, US
Wow that is truly impressive. The execution and finish is below expectations, master craftsmanship. Long time subscriber of your channel and you keep on improving and delivering. Well done.
What a massive commission with excellent work resulting in an elegantly majestic staircase. How prepared are you for everyone knocking on your door wanting their own spiral staircase? Nice to have your Dad on the job, so many problems to solve at every step along the way. Thanks for the video and updates on IG. Cheers, David

Those stairways are just gorgeous. They will easily last the life of the house and are in themselves a work of art. Congrats!
Well said. 2nded

Excellent job to say the very least.
Absolutely fantastic craftsmanship. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit, and share.

Joey lives in NZ where there are lot's of sensible people. Pandemic has been eliminated there so everything is back to normal. Wishing you all the best wherever you are
That stud mould/template...the unsung hero of this project. We've got a lot to cover off in the podcast...so many questions!!!
For sure. I would love to see a video explanation of how you mapped the staircase in space.

That is insane amount of extremely precise work you've done here guys! Absolutely beautiful! I'm glad that you back in business 👍
as a joiner in wellington and having made curved stairs before your craftmanship is first class ex video this was my first intro to your channel well done
That is so beautiful and complicated! Absolutely loved seeing it come together!
Thank you for taking the time to bring us on this journey. Your processes are endlessly fascinating. Wonderful end result, too!
Thanks

Thank you for documenting your craftsmanship sir.
The marriage of wood and steel can be quite beautiful.
These stairs are a great example.
Good job👍
Just watched this amazing build! I think I held my breath the whole time - haha. Great job!!
"Hello, I'm Joey". Such an unassuming entry for such amazing content. Now that's a custom job.
I hope all those lovely treads get covered while the drywall and paint crews are doing their thing. Marvelous looking set of stairs.
Yes I made mdf tread covers but who knows if the main contractor will actually cover all the handrails etc
Wow! An amazing piece of work! I can't imagine managing a job of this complexity and being able to sleep at night...
Hi Joey! I have built close to 100 free standing stairs like this one here in Southern California. My company was named FREE STANDING STAIR. After 2008 recession I chose to change careers.

Cheers, yes I have been asked to do others but so far declined the opportunity as it's so full on
Geeeez, what a mess that could have been! I'm sure glad someone knew what they were doing. It made my head hurt just thinking about all the angles and curves, but looks like you pulled it off. Congrats Joey, another job well done
Another excellent build and informative video. 1st Class Joey
your work is always a master class but this is a demonstration of how logistically complicated your craft can be. you make it look easy! bravo!
What kinda screws are you using to secure the steel stair brackets go the risers? I have a hard time believing the steps are securely held in place purely by the shear strength of the screws
Such a great feeling when all the planning and hard work comes together at the end. Beautiful work ! Cheers.
Beautiful work as ever Joey.
Thoroughly enjoyed this build
Lots of interesting applications of metal to assemble stair parts
Good show mates
Cheers
Wow! This is the type of mind bendingly awkward, highly complex projects that I think would be a bit too scary for many fairly proficient woodworkers to even consider taking on. Not much margin for any miscalculations, mistakes or slip ups. Really amazing, phenomenal work!!
Supreme quality craftsmanship right there. You guys kick ass!
Hello from Allentown Pennsylvania
The video was not disjointed at all, easy to follow! Great work, I love the use of jigs for everything.
Looks fantastic, i imagine you don't make stairs everyday but this looks absolutely flawless. congrats joey!
Beautiful, I did a helical railing entirely out of metal. The stringers are really nice
I think it flowed pretty well. Another amazing job from an amazing shop. Bravo.
Beautifully done Joey. Really interesting watching the planning and production process that you went through. I've rebuilt a couple of large stairs but curved ones like that are way above my skill level.
Excellent work and craftsmanship!!!!
While complex in construction the stairs are simple in design, just beautiful. Excellent vid!
Those are some beautifull and solid looking stairs you build there!
Joey!! Bloody magic mate!! Amazing build, congrats!!
Your Dad knows his way around the job site like a professional. I'm sure you learned a lot from him over the years.
Looks great. Thanks for sharing your talents and thoughts.
Amazing work Joey and team, fantastic finish. Congrats
Holy cow! Totally amazing. Fanboy from Arizona, USA. Keep up the great work Joey.
Building helix shaped staircases is a lot of complicated work. Well done!
Very impressive work, wondered about all the structural stuff until it finally dawned on me they are freestanding!! Well done
Beautiful set of stairs!!!!
Such a good video thank you Joey! Really enjoyed the whole process and loved the result!
Beautiful and great job Joe, congratulations to you and team....👏👏👏👏
Awesome does not really begin to approach the finished product - would LOVE to see the hand rails that you fashioned in the gaps between and how you blended them into the existing stairs.
Major Kudos to you and your team !!
I have watched this build at least 3 times, and I still find it amazing every time
Very nice work. Way to stay on for the 5 days and stay true to your word as well. Most contractors would delay everyone else and still screw up the job and here you finished it and it looks wonderful. I’ll bet you guys felt good standing back and seeing it done.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.
Great effort Joey. Curves are never easy especially something as complex as this. Just about to install a flight of stairs myself (not quite as complicated as yours) so excellent timing.
Awesome work. Congratulations on quality craftsmanship.
This is amazing. Fantastic work! These stairs must have cost a fortune.
thanks for show all the details of your excellent job
Nice work fella's, it was probably kinda nice to have your father onboard also.
What a absolutely superb video and the craftsmanship is on another level you truly are a master woodworker joey and thank you for sharing ive been a carpenter for nearly 24years now and im still learning things from watching videos like yours so thank you . All the very best and stay safe from darrall in the UK 🇬🇧 👍
Thank you
I've built plenty of curved walls in the past, fun and easy to do but never curved steps. They turned out amazing great job sir !!
What an awesome project Joey, you have come along way since your scared to death begining of Covid video when you didnt know if your business would survive. I am so happy for you and think you are one great dude. Cheers, keep on truckin. Man I enjoyed watching this video..... Eveytime I saw you drill a hole, I was like........ yikes! so much work to possibly jack up.......
Absolutely gorgeous bro! Stellar work.
Another incredible build, really enjoyed the video and project.
Hell of a job. Looks fantastic!
Beautiful work, it looks amazing. It must have been great to work with your father!
Amazing job, just the math alone would drive me crazy 😜. Great to see your dad and you working side by side. Incredible craftsmanship as always. Take Care
I have been asked to do a curved staircase and watching you and yours was a great help 👍🏾
I certainly learnt a lot from you Sir; bless you and family at this troubled time.🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Wow. That is beautiful. Looks like it was a tremendous amount of work. I hope you were well compensated.
Been listening to this mammoth production come to life on the podcast and seeing it in stages on Insta... nothing prepares you for the full experience. What an awesome effort mate, looks sensational, a real portfolio piece. (You can show a client exactly what you'll never do again 🤣)

Stay well and safe!
Blessings to you and your family!
That was quite simply amazing!
A most beautiful thing to watch , inspiring and heart warming!
Freaking awesome
Wow, incredible work Joey. Brilliant! They look fantastic.
Beautiful work, thanks for taking the time to make this video and show some great techniques !
Dang it Joey! I was just checking what's up before hitting the rack and I find a half hour+ KingPost video in my queue. Who's going to bed now? Always a pleasure to see wat you're working on and to see the beautiful results. Always cool to see your dad in your videos as well. He looks like he could outlast all of us. Rock on my friend and Rock on dad!
Thanks for sharing. Would love to see how you finished the railings and tied them in to the stairs. From Canada eh!
The staircase looks fantastic. Great job guys!
Thanks guys for sharing this! Great timberwork...
The most beautiful piece of art work I have seen I have seen the mona lisa ....think this tops that
Fabulous guys. Can’t wait to see your next project.
That is a huge undertake! Congrats to all on your meticulous and gorgeous work!
May I know what was the price for this staircase?
Outstanding work. Love watching your videos.

un trabajo de 10 .no dejes de deleitarnos con tus videos
Very great job you have done! I love your work!❤
Top job, my head spins just thinking about all the angles. Really good stuff.
So many tips just from watching the process. Bravo
Glad you enjoyed it!
Класс 👍🏻 Интересный дизайн лестницы, люблю такие лестницы ))
Great work! You have a good team.
I could not tell from the pictures just how the stud frame was attached to the floor, please explain that aspect.
Thanks, JIM
Glad to see you and yours are safe & well - lovely work as always
Awesome, awesome . . . it's had to figure which was the most difficult, the design, build or instulation . . . one wicket undertaking. Cheers, and Merry Christmas.
Great work Joey! I learn something from all your jobs.
bet there was a few head scratching moments in that build Joey - but what a fantastic result - the quality of your work is off the scale
Having a woodworking company I would not dare to take a job like this. No idea how to calculate then end price of something like this. How do you calculate the labour upfront?
Yea well same here. I just worked through each step and guessed at time for each step. It took longer than I thought but running other jobs parallel helped to minimise cost.
Spectacular !!! what kind of glue You used to laminate ?
Hi Joey..this was awesome!!! I was just wondering how long did it take you to build the stairs.. that was an amazing project. Thanks for sharing it to us folks in Alabama, US
I don't actually know how long it took as there were several delays with covid and the main contractor. At least 8 weeks. Thanks
Excellent design and very well build!
Wow that is truly impressive.
The execution and finish is below expectations, master craftsmanship.
Long time subscriber of your channel and you keep on improving and delivering. Well done.
Thant looks amazing, really works well in that space.
great work...i was thinking to my self if you're from NZ, then i saw the pink timber!! ☺️ awesome stuff
What a massive commission with excellent work resulting in an elegantly majestic staircase. How prepared are you for everyone knocking on your door wanting their own spiral staircase? Nice to have your Dad on the job, so many problems to solve at every step along the way. Thanks for the video and updates on IG. Cheers, David
Guys well done absolutely perfect job👍 thanks to filming it.
Wow man thats very cool. A lot of experience. Great job . Please keep posting videos like that even box stairs will be good . Thanks a lot for sharing
It's an awesome job. How much should I pay to see the blue print and calculations for this particular stair.?
Absolutely stunning. WOW. Quick question: is that a 12 inch blade on the sliding table saw?
Um yeah 305mm
