This is probably your best video ever uploaded onto this channel. The amount of skill, knowledge, trust, precision, and attention to detail during this whole process was beautiful and helps to show how valuable these artisans are. These artisans deserve to be remembered and awarded for their efforts. This staircase probably cost $40k to make and another $10k to stain+deliver+install+touch up on site to make it a perfect fit.

[@indogrizz]

I would think that your estimate might be a little on the low side. I retired from my own millwork business and just the service on the shop physical investment would preclude a mucha higher price. Did you take into account the number of workers involved in the skilled labor force. You don't just go to the local buzzard roost and pick up day laborers like that. Of course I didn't notice the date and will admit that this could have been done in the past when everything was much cheaper. Before I go, let's just consider the fee for the architect who designed it.

[@morninboy]

I would think substantially more than $100,000. I just built three sets of straight stairs on my own. Two are open stringers and one housed that are costing $10,000. We also dressed a set of curved stairs eight years ago that cost $14,000. The stairs were already there plus we reused the old handrail. It involved ripping off the old carpet and adding end caps to both sides. Twenty five years ago I did a spiral set and curved set in a house. On the curved one the outside stringer changed direction to the same radius as the inside stringer so that it allowed one to go left or right at the bottom. $14,000 for the spiral and $35,000 for the curved

Most impressive work as a team. I liked the laminating process, finger joints, the weight presses , like to have one. Nice and excellent quality work.👍🎊

[@chippysteve4524]

Beautiful craftsmanship in what looks like a really cold workshop I was genuinely surprised by how much strength the staircase already had with a dry fit of the treads and risers into only the outer stringer.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

I was thinking the same thing. He was stepping tentatively but that thing was rock solid. I think the lighting in the shop was metal halide or sodium vapor (corrected) and it snows in Japan so brrrr.

[@wasdaletimelapse7658]

Excellent work. Just remember that this sort of thing was done completely by hand, no CNC, back in Victorian times. Imagine what the Victorian artisans could have done with the aide of the tools we have today.

[@WilliamSmith-c4i]

Bless your heart. They would build what we build today. It ain't like humans were smarter back then or totally different than us today. They worked with the tools and materials they had. We work with the tools and materials we have.

[@chippysteve4524]

Westminster Hall (part of the Palace of Westminster in London) is widely acknowledged as the pinnacle of European carpentry with incredible hammer beam trusses (search online for images) and that was finished in 1097 for William II. With hammer beam trusses,every joint has to be perfect for it to work.The British were obliged to develop the incredibly labour intensive technique as there weren't enough huge oaks left to use for tie beams to stop the walls from spreading. I recommend a book called "Wood and wood joints" by Klauss Zwerger - a historical study of the traditions of European and Japanese carpentry with big,beautiful black and white photos and excellent joint detail drawings.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

CNC machines don't really do anything that people can't do, they just save time. It's just a chisel and a drill. Also those Victorian artisans would have to learn CAD, computers, electricity, Zoom calls, telephones, emojis all of a sudden? Or how would they get the tools? I'm imagining.

[@musthavechannel5262]

Pretty sure they were also using the latest technologies of that time and still taking months and years to complete such projects.

[@chippysteve4524]

@@musthavechannel5262 Yes 3 months minimum for a team of at least 6 plus apprentices,I imagine.Perhaps 1guy for 3 months just to produce the balusters.

[@kenc2257]

Amazing craftsmanship. [and, that staircase and railings must have cost a fortune]

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

It cost very little to the person that commissioned it. It's just a staircase in a house. That's probably not their only house. They might have a cottage, a summer house and a cabin, each one thousands of square feet. A condo, penthouse, a couple apartments would be smaller. This staircase might have been just a note to an architect from the wife. But yeah, bonkers amazing!

Stunning work! So much talent and artistry in the molds and forms alone, much less the final product. I'd bet those stairs don't make a sound when you walk on them! It seems a shame to paint them.

[@chippysteve4524]

Yes just like stone-built cathedrals with all those beautiful arches and vaulted ceilings-90% of the craftsmanship is in the perfect timber formwork without which it would not be possible. The grain on the curved risers was stunning.Truly a crime to paint it afterwards IMO.

The procession it took to get all those balusters to line up correctly is mind-blowing!

[@morninboy]

I'm more impressed with routing out the stringers. I just finished a straight set with a housed stringer using a framing square and there was a 5/16'' difference in overall length from left and right. I wish they showed how it was set up and measured to be so precise. I figure a jig with a set for accuracy. For more than 35 years there have been CNC machines specifically for curved stairs. In the summer of 1988 I worked on back framing in Toronto and did 35 homes with curved oak stairs

[@pierretripotin2787]

Perfect job, made by a real team of workers ! Congratulations. The making of molds for the laminating process takes a lot of time, but the result is aa very rigid ans strong staircase. In the past, the 3 d curved parts where all made of solid timber, cut by hand in large pieces of trunks (dry, untracked wood, a chalenge), and meticulously assembled using internal bolts. A long and precise drawing process was necessary for the layout of each curved part. I regret the very conventional design (a lot of balusters, and a pilar !). For Japan, to me the country of design, this is a shame. The final result is a very heavy staircase, especially with this dark colour that ruins the natural beauty of the wood. But I guess those where the clients', not the craftsman choice. The craftsmanship remains perfect.
