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.
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 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.
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. :)
Wow! Love this! I’ve never cut metal, but your freehand cutting is amazing! You made it look crazy easy and I’m pretty sure it isn’t. Great video guys👍🏻
Just found your channel today, 2nd vid I've watched, great thing about them is the length. I'm just working on home chores, and this is a great way to enjoy a day working. AND, what an amazing staircase!! Floating staircases, and twist staircases are always a eye catcher. Great Job!! Glad to be here.
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 🤣
Love the stairs! 1/4”- 3/8 rubber with a non skid pattern on the top! Or 1/2” - 3/4” hardwood set in place with screw fasteners that allow you to attach it to Steel.
I like the thought of very thick (like 4 inch) pine treads. After all you are amongst a magnificent ridge of pines where you are. It's just my humble opinion. Whatever you choose to do, I am sure it will be beautiful. Much love from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤❤❤
Good job on the stairs. I think some nice thick pine would make beautiful treads. It sure is going to look cool. I drink water upside down to get rid of hiccups. ❤
The metal will always flex a little and the excellent welding will keep it strong. By the way beautiful beads, just as it's taught. Always happy to see Peanut. 🥰
Doing a great job👍 With the size of the welds you put, not sure why you needed to plasma cut and inserts. I would have made a bracing jig and just welded strait to the beam - but to each their own 👍 Cheers
Mit Deiner Leidenschaft für typisch männliche Arbeiten wie schweißen und Bagger fahren bist Du liebe Patricia (?) eine seltene Ausnahme. Das bewundere ich.
I have made a few of these done the treads in wood concrete and also in glass with led lights fitted under the treads to eliminate each of the stair treads
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.
Stairs coming up nicely, and a good remedy for hiccups is having someone scared the crap out of you or simply just hold your breath for a few seconds and repeat till they’re gone! Haha Idk that’s the best I got! 🤷🏻♀️🤣
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!
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. :)
Dam girl. . . you operate an excavator and you weld!!!! I think I'm in love!!! ;-) For hiccups, take as deep a breath as you can so no more air can enter and hold for as long as you can. Let out slowly and hiccups will be gone!!!
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.
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)
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. :)
You have a steady hand with the plasma cutter, I would at least need a straight edge if not a template to make all those cuts. What a project! Looking great.
Can't wait until the entire home is finished. Keep up the great work!! Just curious how you guys plan on insulating on the wall where the stairs is located, seems tight there.
Thank you so much!! It is rather tight... we will be using spray foam. I'll definitely be documenting the process so you guys will see how it goes once we get to that step :)
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
plasma cutting is something to be proud of, especially the way you have complete control over your nerves. A spoonful of Peanut butter is how my girls and I get rid of our hiccups
Just started following, love watching the progress! Hiccup cure: Drink a full glass of water while someone pulls down on both your ear lobes. I know it sounds weird but it works!
Jess, my mum has always said a cold spoon n the back of the neck is a cure for hiccups, but I have good reason to believe my mum is quite insane soooo... 🤣 The stairs are looking awesome! I feel strangely proud of 2 people I have never met.
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,
Just an idea, when ur plasma cutting lines u need to b straight, what is u used those bar magnets for the side of the cutter nozzle to glide along when cutting, kinda like a track used for circular saws.
I enjoy watching what your building. I see the thought process going into it. I bet the water sandblasting took you all day, LOL . Maybe consider a different hopper set up in the future. Maybe gravity fed instead of suction ? I don't know, just a thought.
Your welding is very good are you putting a hand rail to the outer end of tread dropping a vertical tube from the handrail to each tread will make it very ridged
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.
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?
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 :)
Hmm,, load deflection , ( Floating Stairs are a pain to equalize twist / under load ) hmm , SS. cables or adjustable rods from the upper ceiling , two per tread looks nice. With some LED lighting looks good.
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.
So impressed with your welding. You have the same welder that i have, but your welds are so much better. Are you using 110 or 220? Generator or outlet?
I have been following you for a long time now, how much sand do you use to do wet sanding (for example on the main beam of the staircase)? the finish is very beautiful in any case, I can't wait to see the finished set!!
It looks great! I have been following you for some while and will continue to but I think if you learned to make shorter videos (I know it's hard to cut our many things) it would attract more viewers. All the good luck to you guys!
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.
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!
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.
There's a product called Hold Blast that stops flash rust if you can't finish the job before coating the steel. Also, does the water blasting put a surface profile on the steel?
Love the stairs but what are you going to do with the ends? that 8th and 9th step is right at head height and will cut deep with the slightest bump of the head. Yikes. Loved the vid. Keep them coming!
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.
Thank you so much!!! :)
Thick white pine treads would look great. Awsome job! The lady is great at welding and has an amazing face and body! Lucky guy!
Thx for the suggestion!! We will reveal what we use for the stair treads in a future video :)

I was thinking the same thing. Or weld 45 degree braces under each stair tred.
Yes. You are totally right.

Exactly what you said, the flange should have been on the bottom side of the bracket to counteract a thing called gravity.

Amazing welding abilities. Vertical and upside down welds! Wow.
Thank you so much!!
Wow! Love this!
I’ve never cut metal, but your freehand cutting is amazing!
You made it look crazy easy and I’m pretty sure it isn’t.
Great video guys👍🏻
Thank you so much!!!
Duuuuuude, your welds are better than most so-called welders.
Keep on keeping on🎉
Thank you so much!!! :)
Great job! Looks good. Thick lumber treads with high polish finish would look great!
Thank you so much!!
Just found your channel today, 2nd vid I've watched, great thing about them is the length. I'm just working on home chores, and this is a great way to enjoy a day working.

Good Day 🌅, very nice work, good luck with your project,
Thanks so much!!
You guys project is the very best! Thankyou for sharing it
Thank you so much!!!
First time watching your Channel you really laid on a beautiful weld on the steps great teamwork
Thank you so much!! :)
Hi there it looks great when it's finished it will have the X factor. X
Thank you so much!! :)
Your place is looking great
Thank you so much!!
The music on your channel is so cool... Love to watch you weld... Great job 👍
So glad to hear that! Thanks so much :)
Have to say thank you you two for the beautiful videos , so positive, happy,satisfying, thank you you make my day 😃😃😃😃❤❤❤

the most precious builder I never seen before. you are hired!
Your guy makes a great lackey. Every project needs one
Good to know! :)
Good job 👍💪
Thank you!!
Excellent teamwork 👍🏼
Thank you so much!!
I love the work your doing..You both have a lot of challenges ahead of do your next project..❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thank you so much!! Definitely challenging but we're here for it :)
Beautiful work! Absolutely love the Stairs😊
Thank you so much!! :)
That took a lot of patience another great day
Thx so much!! :)
I think you both are doing a fantastic job! 👍🏻
Thank you so much!! :)
Thick chestnut would look amazing for your stair treads
Love that idea :)
Un saludo desde Barcelona España
Awesome team work! You guys killed that.. so nice and clean!
Thank you so much!!
The metal will always flex a little and the excellent welding will keep it strong. By the way beautiful beads, just as it's taught. Always happy to see Peanut. 🥰

Great suggestion!! Stay tuned to see what we choose :)
Fantastic, absolutely love them…👍🏼
Thank you sooo much!! :)
That is a perfect job 👍👍👍
Thanks so much!! :)
Waouh je viens de vous découvrir et quel ne fut pas ma surprise en entendant ce doux accent FR ah ah ah

I have made a few of these done the treads in wood concrete and also in glass with led lights fitted under the treads to eliminate each of the stair treads
Wow that's so cool! You'll see what we end up using in a future video :)
You guys have been busy hi from Colorado Springs 😀stairs look awesome.
Thank you so much!!
You can install very long piece of C channel on the end to hold the ends of the stair treads in place and will prevent them from flexing
That's one of our "plan B" ideas :)
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.
Thx for the tips!!

Thank you!! Thx for the tip

Sorry I didn't see that coming, a different idea. Looks great and different.

you are right ,you did a supper job on the Iron bar. but no happy dance,

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?

Cakes everywhere I look
Hmm,, load deflection , ( Floating Stairs are a pain to equalize twist / under load ) hmm , SS. cables or adjustable rods from the upper ceiling , two per tread looks nice. With some LED lighting looks good.
Thx for the suggestions!! :)

Maybe a small gusset under the bottom will be needed ?
That's one option! :)
So impressed with your welding. You have the same welder that i have, but your welds are so much better. Are you using 110 or 220? Generator or outlet?

@@PacificPinesRanch Thanks
I have been following you for a long time now, how much sand do you use to do wet sanding (for example on the main beam of the staircase)? the finish is very beautiful in any case, I can't wait to see the finished set!!
For the C channel we used about 12-14 5 gallon buckets of sand and we sandblasted each side.
It looks great! I have been following you for some while and will continue to but I think if you learned to make shorter videos (I know it's hard to cut our many things) it would attract more viewers. All the good luck to you guys!
Thank you so much!! Some videos end up being longer and some shorter depending on what we are doing but thank you for your input :)
👍😍😍✌️
Thank you!!
Great plasma skills! What PSI air pressure are you using for the plasmas cutter? I struggle with getting it right and seems you have it dialed in!
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.
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.

And the picture ? ... i came here for that soo delicious
maybe use a 2x4 & c-clamp to hold the floating end in place
That's a great idea. Thx for the suggestion :)
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.

There's a product called Hold Blast that stops flash rust if you can't finish the job before coating the steel. Also, does the water blasting put a surface profile on the steel?
Thx for the tip!! I'll check that out. I haven't noticed a surface profile but then again I don't really check for that so I'm not sure
Exposed aggregate concrete treads would look fantastic in your jewel box of a house!
Love that!! Stay tuned to see what we choose :)
😂 @ ‘52. Btw Nice plasma cuts and welding!
Thank you!! :)
What thickness is the metal you're using for the stairs and for the brace you have attached to the container?
Stair treads 3/8" and the C channel is 5/16"
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
We will figure it out as we progress and adjust if needed. Thx for the tip! :)
Great job. I have a couple of questions 1 are using plain beach sand? 2 what size of compressor and what can does it provide, thanks for any help.
We've used many materials with the wet sandblaster. I highly recommend coal slag. We use a 4400 PSI pressure washer.
Love the stairs but what are you going to do with the ends? that 8th and 9th step is right at head height and will cut deep with the slightest bump of the head. Yikes. Loved the vid. Keep them coming!
Thank you!! There will be a railing underneath for the bottom stairway so that should eliminate some of the danger lol
