This week we have a really unique build for you guys! A client from Lexington is a huge cyclist / bicycle nerd, wanting to transform their living room staircase to reflect their favorite hobby. Not to mention we have a new face in the shop, Aaron Dykstra, who was a professional bike builder for many years! It seemed like the perfect job for him, so Tay and Aaron got to work bringing this project to life!

Another GORGEOUS set of hand rails! Love them. On a side note, I actually liked the more raw vintage pre-powder coated version the best! But I can see that their beautiful home required a more refined look. Great job! And still thinking of those Swedish Fish! : )

7:15 - Honest question, how come you don't use fixture clamps, stops, etc more with your fixture table? Are you used to working on plain tables, or do you just use it really when tacking? Obviously, with handrails / non-critical pieces a little distortion is fine but I've just been curious for a while. I am entirely jealous of your fireball squares as well lol, one day I'll have some! Good work!

Too bad he can’t take criticism and turned his comments off on all his videos and posts because people were saying you didn’t need a table like his to make square box’s accurate, he then proceeded to prove them wrong by going to different fab shops and only a few met the specs of the simple project. I like his videos but i won’t watch anymore because he turned comments off

Not suggesting you create plexiglass panels to make it "safe," but asking... if someone later added plexi to keep young arms, legs, & heads from going through, would it pass inspection?

So I have a question why do you make your music so much louder than normal audio? So when you measure things in CAD you know you can also measure on the other side. I program in Gibbs cam for a living and we do that for the guys all the time so they can see what they're doing when they're fabricating weldments. 😊

@LiftArcStudios Жыл бұрын

Yeah, it'll take some tweaking over time! We had the GoPro set to the widest field of view possible, but next time we'll have to tilt it up higher when Tay is welding because he likes to lean in as close as possible. So we had a little bit of a crotch cam going on during welding 😅

@vorant77 Жыл бұрын

Not code compliant but I like it just the same.

@MattWeber Жыл бұрын

Depends. The code primarily focuses on balusters, but depending on design you can apply for a exemption, or it simply not even fall under code depending on where the handrail is being installed. This is why you will see handrails completely void of balusters at all often. For example when they are "middle" rails on wide steps, they don't need to fit baluster spacing codes as they are not meant to protect the user from falling over an edge. This allows very easily for more artistic filling of the space like he is doing.

@stephenschuld2863 Жыл бұрын

Very nice artwork! How do you manage the liability issues associated with non conforming handrails. My insurance does not cover me if I knowingly supply deficient/ illegal stair components. My attorney informed me that a waiver for nonconforming products is worthless and actually is an admission of deficiency.
