I'm not a professional welder; only a hobbyist. That being said, I have learned so much from you and Jody about methodically laying out a project, tips for spacing, welding in a comfortable position, equipment, etc. The music makes this even more relaxing to watch.

Thanks for bringing us all along for the build. I know you had a few challenges but you muscled past them and got it done and it turned out great 👍

From a relatively new home gamer like myself having a blast welding scraps in the garage to a $$$ making pro like yourself, I have much, much respect for your skills man and am trying hard almost everyday to up my welding skills to hopefully be employable in the near future! Videos like these keep me motivated and always learning!!! Please keep putting out great content.

Your music choice just made my day. Fabricator 1 staircase zero. Pissing rain and snow outside my shop in Canada this November evening, so your video just brightened things. Thanks much. B.McP.

JD , that looks fantastic , you never cease to amaze me with the high quality products you turn out!!😀👍

I think this build is like the video and music, that's why I gave a thumbs up. Bloody Excellent, cheers from John, Australia.

I love the classical background music. For some reason it fits your videos perfectly every time. Stair case looks amazing. Thanks for sharing the install site as well. Always nice to see a finished job. 😀

First 5 comments are from other KZfaqrs, that's saying something about the online community. Glad to see a constructive group get even stronger. The music doesn't hurt either.

So many levels! Great build JD. I lean so many fabrication techniques from you videos. Thank you

The best type of staircase, nice work

Simply amazing. I’m at a loss for words here. I don’t know if I could ever do that. Wow. Great job sir

AWESOME, JD!! Spiral staircases are a real challenge but your end results were great! Nice build!!

This is awesome! I was thinking about Spiral stair cases on my drive home the other day. Excellent work JD!

Nice one. I bet that fitting and bending that hand rail was a bugger of a job. Great end result!

Many years ago I made one of these stair cases for an underground pumping station. Before computers ! Lots of layouts! Made from steel and aluminum. Cut everything by hand. Bending the steel pipe handrail and installing it was a HUGE headache. Didn’t have a pipe roller, only a torch. Once was enough.

Great build JD, who says you don't need math to be a fabricator eh. Getting the top rail of the handrail right would have been a challenge too I imagine. Magic Sir, magic. 👍👍👍🙆👏

I will have to say that this is a bad ass fabrication job! Enjoyed watching you build it and the on site install. I found you through Jodi's channel. Subbed to yours now as well. And like most others, love the music. Will be checking out all your other video's.

Great work as always man. Ive built quite a few spiral staircases and it was really interesting to see someone else do it. I like how you made the eyelits instead of stacking a colar up the center column. I used to cut colars and put a set screw in them. The treads were cut and reinforced after being bent/broke. Hand rail was the worst part. Had a fancy machine for rolling but that was only on a single plain. So i would eye ball it as it came out of the dies and pull it to make the helix. Keep up the great work.

JD as always a great job well executed great fabrication those fireball squares are the business 🤘🖒

Wow JD, That is amazing!! very good work with the plasma cam, And all of it for that matter. Great job!

Fantastic job JD! I can just imagine the hrs that went into the handrail, wow!

I enjoy all your videos iam a welder myself and I always get great ideas from watching you keep up the great work jd

That looks awesome! I love spiral staircases

Fantastic. Looks great. So many things can go wrong on a project like that. Yikes.

the music for this is perfect, so enjoyable to watch *thumbs up*

That was extraordinarily pleasant to watch.

For some reason its easier for me to listen to classical with a bit of welding going on in the background. Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos brother!

Beautifull work, beautifull video an music!Thanks!

That is pretty sweet JD, great job ! 👍👍

I really need to get myself a plasmacam for my everlast plasma cutter. That software makes fabrication so much easier.

Awesome work JD! My work just got a plasma table and I wish I was even close to your level at operating it. Thank you for the video

Quality fabrication for sure! Wow, end result is amazing!

You're the man. That looks very well done

Greetings from Jimmy Diresta channel. :) Great work with this barn doors.

Serious tool envy for that cutting machine, even though I do nothing that would justify owning such a machine. I'm assuming you put the treads on the centre pole before attaching the kickboards for a particular reason? Anyone else I would assume it was so that if they warped in the welding, that wouldn't stop them fitting together - but you don't seem to have problems with stuff warping out of shape.

Wow bro that was a great job and a fun video to watch, you’re killing it with all the different ways to use those fireball tools!!

Magnificent JD Cordially, David

Beautiful job.

Awesome work JD! 👍👊

And for a beautiful, under the radar move... @t=5:08 -- Like a rock drummer flipping his sticks while playing... Mr. Brewer removes the vise grip clamp, then rotates/flips it, before again setting the clamp in place..... Just fun artistry. I like it.

Hell yeah, awesome project.

Turned out wonderful thanks for the video

Very nice work jd

Great work and music

Very nice JD! Were you using the jack stand to maintain angular rotation on each stair tread?

PERFECT, Professional Build/ Install.

Awesome job JD!

New Subscriber, Great Work‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

Fantastic job!

Impressive. Very cool.

Thanks! been waiting on this 👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice I just googled your company, I’m in Marietta. Small world. I was in villa rica yesterday haha

"Awesome job JD!"

Another enjoyable video and music! Ever wondered how you got by without those Fireball Squares?

That is one bad ass staircase.

Pretty work!

Great skill Great Music!!!!!!!!!

Talented guy thats for sure

Good job. Great video.

Very awesome man I’ve been waiting for this video for a while thanks for sharing your amazing

Looks awesome is there anything you can’t build. You do an awesome job with everything you build 👊

Very impressive!!

Very cool use of the plasma cutter. Love your videos. JD, in my area people charge about $60 CAD/hr (about $50/us) for basic CNC Plasma work and include design time with it. Waterjets are pretty much overbooked till the end of time because of auto industry boom. Does this sound about normal? I am trying to weigh the cost of PLASMA purchase VS outsource for now. In other words, can I make enough on side work to pay for the plasma or put the $10K into something more profitable in the short run? Thanks for the videos!

Nice job JD. How far do you rotate the treads to get their placement? Never built a spiral stair and have always wonder about that. Thx

Pretty cool JD. I think you need one more bubble level. :)

That's really nice work, JD. When you were rolling the railing, how did you get the rise along with the radius.

Belleza maestro mi respeto saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨

it's rare that someone would order something like this for their house. stuff like this cost a lot of money!!

i am happy that you have the plasma cam but this way to builds leaves 99.7 % of us out

jd your level is too high for me and you work like a beast perfect work sir

Hey JD, How did you correct the transitions on the railing? At 9:04, they seem to be off a bit. Anyways thanks for the video, your process gives some great ideas, excellent music choice as well.

Great video..👍

nice build

Made it look easy brutha 🤙🏻

Amazing If at all possible could you tell me how you were able to manually put a helix on the cap?

where'd you get that heavy duty triangle square? i gotta get me one!!

Very nice job

That looked difficult as far as getting the next step in the correct position around the staircase. Good work!

Хорошая работа !!! УДАЧИ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A thing of beauty, JD. What were your using to power the tubing roller? Have you seen diamond cut better from the diamond side? I usually cut it from the flat side, but I'm not using a plasmacam.

Great build! A couple of questions; which make and model is your plasma cam? It is cutting a very clean cut, how do you have it dialed in? The notch cutter I have not seen before is it shop made? Thanks

БРАВО МАСТЕР!

Nice! It's funny how a couple weeks of work only translate to a few minutes on KZfaq! Haha

Really nice job on that! Question: ever started your beard on fire? lol. Thanks for the video.

JD! Great vid! thanks for posting this. I'm being asked to quite a spiral staircase and I'm rather intimidated. Was this set to code? Did you have any resources for plans? I did find some good tutorials from woodworkers. What will you do differently next time, if there is a next time? ( I think I heard you say on the podcast that there won't be :-) Thanks!

Nice build! Do you have the cast iron megasquares or the aluminium ones? The really seem handy tools!

not bad at all for the first time you doing it. I re done stair cases and the piece you designed around you should remove it's a pain in the butt. Just weld them stairs directly onto the pillar and cut them support under the steps in an angle to support the load better. I used 2 support pieces per step. That will cut your time down a lot. Also line up each step with the end and front line this way you have the proper pattern. Spacing between each step you can read up easy but it's 8" - 8-1/4" on height step to step.

Excellent!

Sweet!!!!!

outstanding!

What type of tube bender do you use to bend the railing?

I wonder if the do welding doggles for your hound?

how did you do it to give it the angle asia up ??

thankyou friend, god bless you more

Nice build man, just curious what thickness pipe/tube and size was used and what brand bender is that?

JD great video! What gauge are your steps?

That's dope

Damn! This is pretty cool JD; were there parts of this project that had you stumped along the way?

cool!
