Today's install, stairs
Installing the bottom was easy, I propped them up on a pipe Jack and welded them up. For the top I bolted a 10' post to the floor and welded a cross beam on it and screwed it to the wall framing. Then I used a come a long and hoisted them up. All welded up with 7018. It felt nice to do a little stick welding. My boy, now 14, is over 6' and 200 pounds. He was a pretty good hand today. I wouldn't have been able to get it done without him. Sent from my E6810 using ShopFloorTalk mobile app

Very nice work Walker. It looks like a neat design. Does the landing feel nice and solid with no post at the end where the lower stairs meet?
With the treads be wood installed by contractor? Sent from my iPhone using ShopFloorTalk

Everything is surprisingly ridged. I was very worried about flex in those stacked diamond stringers, but there was not a detectable amount of flex by standing on it. There is another contractor doing the woodwork on this one. I dont do much wood anymore.

All I could think of when looking at those pictures was, with my luck I'd hit my head on one of those corners. Those rails look like teeth ready to open somebody's scalp.
