Ah yes, I noticed that... and it's a given they're all men - but its a great, informative vignette regardless.

@@puertousbmonkey An engineer designs technical things. None of the people in this video are performing an engineering job.

@@clarenicholson1328 what's wrong if they're all men ? Most people who work with these jobs are male

Pretty sure that part isn’t bolted on, so it’s made to be tight.

MUCH respect! Hats off to you. That "wood" be fascinating to watch.

Lars Candland now will you ever build one ?

Same

same here

Yes now get outta here you bothering me

did someone else learn how to make spiral stairs ? please tell me i really wanna know

Thank you!

Me

No, Me too

no no, me too

@@munditodada-do8274 no,no, no, me too

Me too, of course

Thank you, Svenka!

AND they totally skip the most difficult part of the process: fashioning a spiral shaped piece of wood. SMH!

its... 'snug'? lol

You should search “how it’s Actually made”

That’s funny I’ve lived in MA my whole life, and didn’t know Doug Flutie lived in Natick haha, crazy though as a day-job doing work at a massive house for the Flute-ster lol.

@@LucidDreamer54321 well I can understand why you may feel this way. But it's ok when you get new crayons you can draw a picture of a spiral staircase and maybe someone will put it on their fridge so you might feel special. Then you can put on your helmet and go for a ride and get an ice cream. I bet you you might get sprinkles if you're good.

Thank you!

@@duvinage9758 impressive stuff. I wish my company could put that much detail into every spiral we sell

How do you fall up?

By tripping at the bottom.

Science is math and building a spiral stair case is a whole lot of math

Imagine trying to get your furniture up one of those to loft bedroom!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes! Stop by our website once you're in the market. We've got DIY modular stair kits as well as custom, such as the one you saw in the clip.

@@duvinage9758 do you ship around the world ?

@@depdark1 For shipment outside the U.S., please contact us: www.duvinage.com/contact_us/

I've done wood and glass. It was crazy insane beautiful.

Thank you! We do ultra modern styles as well as the more traditional one you saw filmed in this shoot.

It's actually a combination of the width as you pointed out, but also the geometry of swinging a sword. On a traditional staircase the person you're attacking it pretty much straight ahead so you can have two (or more) people side by side using an overhand chopping attack. In a spiral staircase everyone is always slightly around a corner. Additionally, most defensive sprial staircases are clockwise when viewed from the bottom, preventing you from using your right hand (which is the traditional fighting hand from the era these were common)h in a swinging motion that follows the curve of the stairs.

@@PendragonDaGreat That's correct. Also spiral stairs in castles would sometimes have unequal riser heights such that castle defenders would be able to ascend or descend with familiarity while attackers could be caught on the wrong foot.

Thanks for explaining that the other guy just sounded pedantic

While this is true, they're still called spiral stairs, that is the official name, because they spiral upwards

Wow, you're special.

I mean, I’m autistic, so in an archaic, politically incorrect definition: Yes, I’m special.

@Maverick McKee Yes, you're in special education.

Everybody gets one.

Company secrets!

It’s not done by steaming the wood

No it doesn't.

then he put it through the planer, shaved off the extra glue, cut a groove in the bottom, did some detailing and popped it on to make sure all the pieces fit together

@@shanleyshoupe7873 3:35 "After gluing strips of wood together to create a curved railing". How does gluing anything create curves?

@@vladtepes97 with curvy wood

@@shanleyshoupe7873 from the Bendy tree, no doubt.

@@vladtepes97 anyway my point was not that i know exactly the wood is curved for the rail (other than the same way they curve wood for other stuff). My point was that there is mention of how the curved wood rail is made beyond "gluing two strips of wood together" so i cited it

They don't disassemble something that has been welded together obviously.

@@Engineer9736 yes they do

i see what you did there.

Try not being drunk long enough to use the stairs.

Apparently, the folks working on the metal parts of the stairs are blacksmiths, and the ones working on the wooden parts are carpenters.

@@drivingaround9147 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He may be up cutting to avoid tearout on the oak. Not sure though.

All caps subtitles are TV standard in the US. It looks like they didn't upload the file

@@romajimamulo wait, really? that doesn't seem great for accessibility imo

@@mozarteanchaos it makes it easier to read from far away, as capital letters are more distinct than lowercase

@@romajimamulo i'm late, but ig that makes sense. it's not great for people w/ conditions like dyslexia or adhd, though - with dyslexia letters will blend together regardless of if they're lowercase or uppercase, but it's probably worse if they're all capitalized since there's less visual distinction. and regarding adhd, i find it difficult to focus on and read sentences written in all-caps. if it's a sentence or two i can manage, but if all the subtitles are capitalized then it becomes very hard for me to get any usage out of them.

@@mozarteanchaos I have ADHD too and I definitely agree that all all caps text is awful to read

I believe it is the right way, the video is probably mirrored

How does it matter? The customer can choose whatever they like.

@@haif_aiive4123 Cool, that means the company name/logo is also mirrored in case someone would make a video about their correctly spiraled stairs ^^

?

And it was actually good, too!

u must be more of a spiral stair expert than these guys then lol

The shop is incredibly antiquated. Look at the lathe with lantern tool post, or just the welding fixture. Porter Cable hasn't made a decent router in 20 years.
