Renovating a 128 year old forgotten log cabin (part33) - Staircase build

[@talibirkmanis5727]

Yep 2 hours is not enough of Ants , one of the best channels on KZbin , I dont understand why he has only 50K subs !!!!! A great set of stairs , the granite looks fantastic , and again you have built something that will survive anything (like all the other earthquake resistant items) and outlive you !! Please Ants keep em coming !!

[@Ants_Pants]

Yes boss

[@paavokaleva]

I think that majority of people who watches KZbin are watching/subscribing that tiktok like BS that means nothing, teach nothing, adds nothing.

[@Ants_Pants]

😂😂 thanks dude

This is my all-time favorite video. Thank you for doing a super-fantastic job of building it and filming it. You are a genius!

Thanks! I love the long videos. Your Friday videos make my week , great video bro 😎

[@Ants_Pants]

Good 😅

[@nevillesmith9795]

Every time i watch your videos I have a new found respect for you and your work ethic. You never shy away from taking any job head-on. That was a ton work you have put into that stair case and it turned out super cool. The earthy wooden cabin with a touch of indutrial feel to it. Your videos are always entertaining whether 6min or 2hrs long. I enjoy them equally...If super human being had to have a name...it would be ANDRIS . You rock👌🏼

[@Ants_Pants]

Thanks dude. Stay classy

[@bobferranti5222]

I just finished watching all the Cabin video's from start to now, you, my friend, have exceptional skills and great vision!. The transformation of this cabin was amazing.

Ant, after watching all of your videos I know for sure your trade is not construction because you are a true Artist...the details you put into your work and the unique designs prove you are a fantastic Artist....

[@Ants_Pants]

😅👍

[@celticrider06]

Wow, what an awesome job. My wife said watching you improvise when putting the stairs back together reminds her of watching me. I do the exact same thing Sometimes out of necessity, no one around to help, but a lot of times is because I work better alone and enjoy the challenges of doing so. Looks like you do as well possibly.

Hi Ants. Interesting episode this week, I love how you work it out as you go along. But you always manage to get what you want. Mind you that last leg is a bit steep, but it looks ok. I love the wire feature,looks very classy. How you do it all by yourself is just amazing, keep it up, look forward to next week 👍

The steel staircase in the cabin is very freaking cool!

[@terryrobinson1416]

Try those stick on treads that have grit on them. Usually for truck sideboards and outside stairs. Might hurt bare feet but I'm Sure it'll it'll be grippy. Great video and can't wait for another. And even the finale. Where someone is spending the nite with a decent meal!

[@bradcrossman5068]

Yup! Wet footwear on those stairs can be seriously slippery. Those adhesive anti-slip treads would be a possible shin (and more) saving device.

Wow, another great evening sitting with my feet up, drinking a cold beer and watching you work! The steps look great and once again I learned so much from this weeks video. First thing I learned was why they put instructions in boxes.....TO START FIRES WITH! The next thing I learned is we are changing the name of the channel to "A man and his drill, a love story."

Thats a lot a work and it looks so pretty! I enjoy seeing people working with hand tools (even if I hate use some of them like the angle grinder). My dad used to do the same you are doing when I was young and is one of the best memories I have before he lefts our family a decade ago..

You could have done a 45' step on the platform to lift up another 20cm. I would also weld a flat bar perpendicular to the wall plates going up under the steps. This will stiffen the plate steel and tie the steps together at the wall. Love your work.

[@Ants_Pants]

[@mobiousenigma]

as always thanks for the videos......hindsight lol i think i would have run the stringer up the centre of the steps cutting the unsupported span in half and minimizing flex in the tread but you can always add it there later when you decide it is uncomfortable if your stairs flex under you. ps a change in riser height mid run on a straight run of stairs of more than about 6mm would cause issues but as you change after a transition to the platform it should be ok perhaps a lot of stubbed toes going up in the first stair after the platform going up and coming down a heavy step to the first stair down but i doubt it will be a deal breaker.

[@Ants_Pants]

Mhm yup

[@Ants_Pants]

😆

[@incubatork]

A one of a kind, is there anything you cannot do? I admire your positivity, even when things go not so good. A small strip joining all the steps on the outside would give a lot more support to each step, it would spread the load with the one above and the one below it, it will also protect you from the sharp corners. I see you realised the saw blade was put on backwards before you used it 🤫at least it looked that way. All in all a smart job.👌 Who needs plans, they are just a waste of paper.

[@Ants_Pants]

No i realised this after the saw not cutting 😂😂

[@1rosalin1]

Belo trabalho, imagino que tenha demorado meses para executar, ficou ótimo

[@Biffo1262]

Fibreglass fire blankets would have made a decent welding cubical. As a retired fire officer you were taking a hell of a risk. Personally I would have mocked up the string out of wood starting from the top and that way you can place your landing at the place it fall naturally at the angle of the string, between 38° and 42°. The lower flight the falls into place. Your risers are then calculated to suit. Certainly wouldn't pass current UK Building Regs as 75mm dia sphere should not be able to pass through any part of the staircase but in any case it does achieve the object.....nice job Andris; really impressive.

[@Ants_Pants]

Yeh i need to get a few blankets. Never know what i will come up next lol and might need them. Thanks for the ideas

[@frankstreitberger7949]

Great Episode and build, Andris. The stones were originally made as outside windowsills. One can recognise this by the underneath alongside grooves cut for trickling the rainwater.
