Framing My Spiral Staircase Opening - DIY Rental Build

[@tomswindler64]

Loving the sarcasm,did make some progress on the stairwell,just take your time,nobody worried about you not doing it right.we all know you will.just keep on doing your thing,that’s where our entertainment comes from.be safe,hope family is all well.next adventure awaits.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks tom

[@psuu1]

100% agree. Don't stop detailing out the details. Makes it an experience. All your future renters will appreciate it, and of course you get to feel satisfied your whole life you didn't cut corners by adding corners. :) Also, is that a new multi-use-kleeman-utility-axe? Pry bar, finish hammer, sledge hammer, micro adjustment tool, demo claw... if only it could cook eggs too.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n you are totally correct… there is one person who always knows the truth about your little fibs. That is why I always begin each internal conversation… “So I say to myself, SELF…”! It’s like a reckoning, a dose of reality and an intervention…. All rolled into one ‘Point if KNOW Return’. And often a bit humbling too… You are lucky to have Airborne National Guard in your area. Those overhead displays are impressive. Our Army National Guard are Engineers. They have a lot of earth working equipment. I can’t fathom how much equipment they have. But, I can marvel at how unique it is. Every single piece is over built and tricked out with features that civilians can’t afford or… would never need. For example… how many Water Tanker Trucks come with water heaters plus both suction and pumper units built in? Now about that circular band… the details do indeed elevate a build. And that is just one of many you’ve incorporated, so far. It is looking splendid and can hardly wait until I see all of them in person!

[@Ring-a-ging]

You are a gifted craftsman. I enjoy your unending creativity is such a wide range of projects.

[@CaptainKleeman]

@@Ring-a-ging thank you! And appreciate ya watching!

[@matthewpovey6668]

Definitely worth the extra effort. From what I can see that’s going to look amazing.

Love the use of the proper tool, multi purpose splitting mall/hammer/pry bar. Very useful like the multi purpose Cresent wrench/hammer/pry bar

Thanks for another fun one, Mike! Always enjoy your channel!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Jim!

[@goptools]

Hi Mike. You swing a mean axe! It will be interesting to see how your glue-lam comes out. It seems pretty simple in principle but it can be tricky to get two glued surfaces to stay where you want them. I am excited about the special errand of running to the P.O.! That C130 looked to be flying pretty low. I'm guessing he was flying over the river.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Yeah, they seem to follow the river for training

[@michaelmullins1290]

Looking good. Plenty of change is coming to the project.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Making good progress now!

[@ianmckay1780]

Glad you are the one doing all that laminating in-situ! Don't forget: you will need a lot more clamps (top and bottom) than you think! especially in circular forms! Just take your time, that way problems are easier to catch and repair than when everything dries out crooked! That is why I don't even attempt things like that now, just prefer easier projects. My age may have a lot to do with it, but you have yoof (lol), (sound effect here) on your side, and considerable, skill acquired from different projects over the years. As always best wishes, Happy Christmas to all, and look forward to next update. From UK.

[@roaldhughes7429]

Agreed, its the little details in a project like the yacht. Keep doing what yer doing. Its awesome.

[@jackspringer9283]

To help with the counter sink... take scrap plywood a few inches square, hole saw it thru,center that over the imbeded bolt with a couple drywall screws, remove the bit from the center of the hole saw, the guide hole in the scrap piece will prevent the pilotless hole saw from wandering around. And then Bob's ur uncle😅

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thought about it, seemed time consuming

[@doug9418]

Such headway, you're doing awesome on the yacht keep it up. The work you're doing is amazing. Way to go Mike.☕ 💯👍🏼👍🏼👈🏼

Thanks Kevin!

[@dansevern3291]

Okay, regular comment. That's pretty cool, having built exactly one spiral staircase opening, and having my "admiral" tell me that she wished the opening was round, and having told her I did too, but that it was beyond my skill level because, well, math, so square it was. (But I can add and subtract fractions, so there's that.) Thanks for the video, take care.

[@miker1448]

Round and round we go. Your ability to make round things fit into square holes is quite impressive. I would have found a giant sized plastic culvert and sliced it to size - imagine onion rings from a sweet Vidalia; I know, huge expense and not nearly as artistically creative. Thanks for sharing Capt'n!

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

MIKE, watching the video, just makes me wonder if you could make a circle jig the size you need to fit the opening off site,... laminate all the plywood around it, THEN drop it into place securing it to the treated lumber. But , you probably already have it completed after posting THIS video. Great job on the math equation to do this task! Carry on Cap'tn !

[@kenz-e9o]

Details matter :) is the bedroom on the first floor, maybe go with a WATERBED to have that boat feeling, that would be another feature that is different, I haven't slept on a waterbed since the 70's . yea I'm getting to be an old person

fair play Captain already got a good range of the red tool kit fair play

[@user-fr5fz6vv6z]

Mike I like your ideas, you MAY want to see if you can get ahold of a plywood called "Bending Burch" it's 3/8" thick. I would use it when I would make wooden cylinders. It come in 4x8 sheets. Its great for making curves I would use 2 wraps around to get the smooth effect. I don't think the box stores supply it but a good lumber yard will.

[@jimurrata6785]

AKA "wacky wood" can be got in 4x8 or 8x4. (Never seen it in birch, but...)

[@user-fr5fz6vv6z]

@@jimurrata6785 I just called one of my distributer, they refer to it as bending Luan. We would also get a sheet of 1/4" that had a skin of birch that would be very bendable. It looks like some Home Depot just might sell it.

[@jimurrata6785]

@user-fr5fz6vv6z I'm sure that's the name, but if I go to my supplier and ask for wacky wood they just ask me "which way?" I can get door skins that are luan with one face birch but they are thinner than 1/4". There's also Italian bending poplar that comes as thin as 2mm, but that's mostly for tight curves in furniture and cabinets with radiused corners.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Capt. Kleeman awesome content my friend

[@CaptainKleeman]

Appreciate ya watching!

[@gakrazykajun]

Kleeman Khronikles kontinue.....I like the use of the "finish" hammer in this build...a really handy thing. I hope all the radiuses are correct and you have a circle instead of an oblong framing for the ladder. Good progress and I'm sure the admiral is proud of your work. Who knows, you get promoted to Seaman First Class by the end of the year. Great channel, great content.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@terryrogers1025]

Definitely little details make the eye catching finishes and it is at times the most time consuming aspect, but it makes the project come out looking “ooohhhh”so sweet, this circular framing construction is going to be one of those “ooohhhh” moments in the project. Stay the course, this is going to really make that circular stairs pop, thanks for the update, enjoy watching.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely agree. Thanks for watching

Good job Mike great video thanks

[@promotinggrandpa]

when you knocked us over i said here we gooo... bu--tttt...i dont know how you did it but the live slow motion fall was a bit cool and using the washer to guide a hole saw bit would have made the counter sink a little easier (been there done it ...alot) your math is better than mine for sure... looking forward to any video on any subject... you just have great content keep it up

At least when its complete if you upset the Admiral you'll have somewhere to sleep, it will be more comfortable than the outdoor workshop. 🤣😂 Still can't believe that someone just dumped that Beagle out in the woods, I suppose you and the Admiral are looking after him and that's why he looks healthy.

[@paulhuber4862]

I know you are going to do it your way Mike but I thought I might give you a helpful hint to get a perfect round boarder/perimeter . Lay a board across the center of your opening and find the center, put a screw there and attach a string to that screw and go to the center of your 2x12 boarder and that will determine your perimeter and mark that spot on the string then put that string to the corner and the mark will give you a perimeter mark to put a 2x12 across the corner and the will give you a nailing point for your lam boards ( it will give you 8 points to nail instead of 4 points ) plus it will

This gives me eight points already. Appreciate ya watching!

Hello Mike. Perhaps this is the first time you put a round peg in a square hole. The next time will be easier, and I think that time is relatively close at hand.

Nice work Cap

[@SciPunk215]

Good work, all around. Good work on the safety strap so people remember not to walk into the hole in the floor. Little details like that can keep us out of the hospital. So when Kleeman is blowing out the concrete drill holes, is that his angry face or his "I don't want to inhale cement" face?

[@CaptainKleeman]

A little bit of both 🤣
