This is an great video that shows how the theory is put into practice. Privileged indeed is the apprentice that serves time with this man. He has a great teaching ability.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi crossman20 thank you for your kind words, glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and Keep Safe 👍 regards Tony

[@cranberryj42]

Doing my level 3 architectural joinery and this video has helped me get my head around a few things. Thanks

[@iangough7659]

Tony mate, you lads are a dream come true for us lads who want to have a nice home but can not afford to get great builders like you all to do ( unless my lottery numbers come good).

[@vman2kay]

Really love that I've found this channel. Gives enough detail to explain what's being done and showing the practical part of it too. Off to watch part 2 and many other videos! :)

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi vman glad you enjoyed the video we have more exciting content on its way, thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 keep safe

[@sunnybrakes]

He knows his stuff. Informative.

Thanks for watching Nicolas! 😉👍

[@mchandyplasteringanddecora2768]

Looking good would like to see the next stages of this

[@mrboyban]

Nice video! Definitely a project that is above even the most enthusiastic DIY .

[@bigjohnnyboots2802]

Respect big man fair play to ye you sure know your stuff

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks Johnny! Glad you enjoyed the video, more content on this project will be coming soon! 👍

[@paulcloona9331]

Very well explained. I do alot of all round carpentry but I'd be head scratching doing that 🤣. Looking forward to more videos on the progress of the stairs. Very well done 👏

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Paul They are a series of them already thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍

[@jamesgallagher4655]

A great insight to your work Tony you certainly know your stuff, I eagerly await this series to unfold. Are you guys going to show the remaining work on the glass extension build?.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi James Thanks for your kind words, we have a great team. We have episode 7 coming out tomorrow, the glass frames are arriving soon, which will allow us to give people more of an insight. Have a great week 👍

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi James, the latest episode on our glass extension build is out now. Enjoy! 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3m1c5WprMSHatk

[@tubbycarpenter9847]

Great video Mate nice to see things explained relatively clearly for a Seemingly difficult task

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks Tubby Cab, I did wonder if i had done it justice 😂 thanks for watching

[@michaelfisher7835]

Clear as mud to me.

[@yorwerthedwards1045]

You are a genius sir love it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi yorwerth we are glad you enjoyed the video all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend

[@garrettsandhaus9175]

What a tutorial! Thank you for showing your knowledge man, this is very well done. My first real exposure to professional carpentry was working at stair shop starting as an assembly carpenter and eventually working up to laying out and constructing our curved staircases, so I have a special place in my heart for proper staircases :) My question is how did you lay out the lines extending out from the radius point? (specifically shown at 2:24) How did you equally divide that radius into 13 equal tread lengths? The only way I can make sense of doing that is knowing your specific inside radius - then knowing the exact turn of the staircase (was it an exact 90 degree turn? Was is 100 degree? 80?) then dividing that perimeter length by the number of treads. But it looks like you were able to find an angle that had an equal relationship (from the center point) that equated to 13 equal tread spaces (at the desired radius) without doing that math? I'd very much like to pick your brain on that. As a younger carpenter exposure to this knowledge is very appreciated, thank you for doing what you do!!

[@perfumeponse]

Thanks for this series, Tony. Great to see how a master goes about things. I wondered where the 2600mm datum came from on the setting out? Apologies if this was covered. Thanks again :)

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi perfumeponse thanks for your kind words, the 2600mm was taken from the finished ground floor level ie measure from top of parquet floor to the top of the floor board or chipboard what ever you floor coverings would be. Thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have awesome week

[@robandamyp]

I'll stick to skimming walls

[@lesliesweeney368]

Those winders look really narrow isn't their a reg: that says you can not go that small for safety reason's, could you double the width of the tread?

[@corcoransullivan1562]

Our trades in the states have become sped up and dumbed down over the years. The old timer I learned from was very good and he might have pulled this off but wow you are skilled my friend. Is this a common way of doing staircases over there? I’ve never seen routed pockets for the studs like that.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi buddy much appreciated I was very blessed to have an amazing apprenticeship and I will always be truly thankful to them. Regards to pockets it’s the only way I have been shown but I know there are different methods that are used in America, that’s what I love about KZbin sharing knowledge have a great week all the best Tony 👍

[@corcoransullivan1562]

@@BuildWithAE KZbin is so excellent for learning different techniques. I'm curious, to you specialize in staircases or do you do other carpentry trades? I know that this varies even in different parts of the states. I'm guessing you do millwork as well? Thanks again man!

[@BuildWithAE]

@@corcoransullivan1562 Hi buddy I think Carpenters have been diluted because of demand and government cuts in education and training which needs to change in the U.K. I build now in construction but I have been trained in all aspects of wood from cabinets to turning to roofing I also moved around a lot for the thirst of different types of work even did shop fitting. When people say what’s your dream I say Carpentry and Construction it’s never a chore all the best Tony 👍

[@corcoransullivan1562]

@@BuildWithAE That's awesome. I'm in New England, where it's common for guys to do 'frame through finish' which is basically all the carpentry involved on a project aside from the sheetrock etc. Thanks for the info man, very interesting, I'll be learning some of your tricks from these vids!

[@slatersconstruction414]

how did you work out that you needed 14 rises??

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi SLATERS CONSTRUCTION you measure finished floor to finished floor your guide no higher rise than 200mm because of the 42 degree rule I do like a rise of 180mm but this is not always possible because of your floor to floor plus the go of the treads. I think I do explain a bit of this in the video, hope this helps thanks for watching keep Safe all the best Tony 👍

[@doddsy65]

Errr complex, but well explained.

[@liviurabet7326]

Ok.Thank you. So please, where is the final job you've gone?!😉👍😉

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi liviu rabet it’s on it’s way, thanks for watching keep Safe all the best Tony 👍

[@paulconnor2261]

41.6 degrees

[@dielauwen]

Amateur. I see this with most builds. A huge amount of wood, weird MDF plates . I can't wait to see the next video.

[@BuildWithAE]

😂 all the best Tony 👍

[@MarcusT86]

It took me until 32, after never even holding a paint brush, to get into DIY and trades. I love these videos. I wish I could do what you guys do. I’m so hooked and fascinated by it all. I don’t care if it takes me 20 years, I’m going to learn as much as possible! Thank you for continuing to put these out. Oh and as per your recommended book on carpentry by George Mitchell, I see that 200mm riser is within max spec of the building code! 😁

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Marcus, that's much appreciated! We really wanted to document this process as it's not something we get around to doing often. We'll have more videos on this series coming soon. Take care and stay safe 👍

[@davidprice9265]

Fair play , you eint going to find many carpenters who can do that these days , good stuff

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi David Price thanks for your kind words, I thought the same many moons ago when I turned up at this small joinery shop, I thought how I’am I going to do that, but once I was shown I was away, thanks for watching keep Safe all the best Tony 👍

[@shanewiltshire5869]

He is the best carpentry teacher I have ever seen. I never had someone like that to teach me, I just had to watch intently and get massive bollockings if I messed up

[@paulrose1502]

Any chance your looking for an apprentice done my time at college just need some more experience on stairs and roofs

[@TheTraditionalGolfer]

Fantastic....a very clever guy 👍

[@BuildWithAE]

Much appreciated CJ! We've got plenty more content and insight to come on how this curved staircase is developing in the next few weeks so stay tuned bud 👍

[@TheTraditionalGolfer]

@@BuildWithAE you do some great work I've been a bricky for 20 yrs done bespoke domestic work for the past 15 yrs my old man was award winning builder when I worked for him we did some beautiful builds!! I know top quality when I see it and you guys are superb look forward to the coming content.

[@SolidworksUnlimited]

Excellent description love the way you described the inner and outer strings.

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks for watching SW! 👍

[@richard21995]

This is the best tutorial ever. thank you so much. What type of router blade did you use to cut out the slots in the MDF ?

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Richard Richards thanks for your kind words, the router cutter was a 1/2 collar 60mm fluted bit. Thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍

[@adammarkwick4834]

You explain stuff so clearly and simply. It’s great to watch and learn from you.

[@BuildWithAE]

Cheers, glad we could help!

[@shizzleinthenizzle]

no idea what the hell you were talking about, but that jig is amazing!

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks shizzleinthenizzle much appreciated have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
