You are just the best. So glad you included your first mistake and correction. I teach high school CAD course and we just covered this and the modeling tools you can use to make sure your stair meet the right requirements. I loved that you pulled out a textbook for help! I can’t wait to show this to my students.

I made quite a big mistake on one of my recent projects. It's nice to see that extremely talented people like yourself make them as well. Nice way to stick through it and good job on the entire project.

Well done Laura, and thank you for showing your problem solving moments. Good coffee = reset button. Cheers.

Agree!

Great attitude Laura, that's the only right way to look at things. Failures happen and you always learn from them. Rock on!

The new space looks amazing! Can't wait to see what you make in it!

Fail fast and fail cheap. Stuff happens. Coffee helps. That new space is amazing. Also, I took you up in your Skillshare offer a month or so ago. Ended up signing up for a year. A few hours of classes in video editing and my videos have drastically improved. Still a long way to go. Congrats on having the coolest studio on the Internet.

Sharing your mistakes shows your integrity and helps us learn not to make the same ones....Good on you Laura! Smudo is awesome too!

Love the fact that you learn from the mistakes with that attitude and that alone is the best advice teaching you can give!

More natural light. Eye friendly shop. Nice!

Great your finally In the new workshop 😊 it got a hip art studio vibe about it. I would be tempted to make a slide to get down 😋

cool stairs. looks like a work of art

This is a good practical stair case for a work space! I’ve been a carpenter for 44 years so I’ve seen quite a few tricks over the years, some of that experience was in various parts of Germany. This started off in Oberstdorf back in 1979, good times. Good stuff Laura!

I'm so happy for you and your new workshop. A pleasant staircase to walk is important and especially if you use it daily. Greetings from my channel.😄

Sometimes the failures and solutions are the best part. Great that you didn't pretend it never happened. Stairs are tricky.

That is an awesome new space!

She is just doing her way like Macgyver. It works just fine for her. No need to give her negative comments.

Super showing mistakes happen and you learnt from it

Great Job but if I could give you a small piece of advice it would be to ALWAYS GLUE AND SCREW your stair treds...this will guarantee that your stairs will not squeak over time...nails have a way of always causing squeaks and lumber as you know expands and contacts with varrying temperature....You did an amazing job and you made it look easy

Good job Laura. I love it when people admit their mistakes and make the necessary changes. Your Chanel is so real

Love your projects and attitude! Stairs are tough...... my one word of caution is in framing the bird mouth at the top you have reduced the strength of the stringer by about half. Easy to remedy.... just add a support to the bottom of the stringer attached to the underside of the mezzanine. Keep up the wonderful work! Thanks

My thought as well. We usually just cut the top on an angle and attach to a cross piece between the two stringers. Then nail that to the side of the upper floor. But in both cases, there is inherent stability because the bottom of the stairs are secured in concrete. So the most these can do is pivot. And because there's a relatively thick upper floor, there's no way the top of the stringer can make it by. Even if the birds mouth breaks it still isn't small enough to slip under

I'm a carpenter joiner and I don't see to much wrong with your stairs. It's a commercial setting. Made from good timbers. okay it's not a traditional method but they work right. Only thing would be screws would be better. Some glue also. 👍

Not only did you show a way to do (and not to do) a project on my bucket list, but you are supported by a sponsor I am actually interested in. Great stuff!

I love that your dog just imedietly felt comfortable running up the stairs. I worked in a warehouse (many many years ago) and had to do some work on the roof. The stairs from the top floor to the roof were wildly steep, like so steep I felt mildly uncomfortable walking up them. My dog was scared to come up, but I kept coaxing her and after about 30 min she faced her fears and was overjoyed to be on the roof. I helped her come down the first couple times, because it's much harder for a 4 legged animal to descend steep angles than it is for us, but after a while she got the hang of that too.

1:25 That one must hurt... But it makes the work better :P

It's cool if you are learning and building random stuff (stairs) but just for other people watching, it is not recommended to build stairs this way. Get your local building code or ask local building authorities. Find out your minimum and maximum rise and run of your stairs. In my local area the code is as follows: Rise = 125mm to 200mm Run = 210mm to 355mm using a general rule of: rise + run should equal between 430mm - 460mm, which also should give a comfortable stair angle close to 30 to 35 degrees. Also, if you do not know what you are doing, please get help or get a professional to do it. Those stairs can be a huge safety hazard: tripping, collapse, etc. Additionally, you also have no handrails or guardrails. Wow. Living life on the edge I guess. Good Luck!

Love it as always. I'm glad you included your challenge in the video. I like how you made the spacers between the steps. Nice, solid and easy to make once you have the size and angle figured out. I like the look!

Hi from Brasil. Laura proved to be very humble showing her mistake. She could edited it but no. Love her projects.

Audio levels suck in this one. The music is loud in all of the videos but this had speech which was quiet in comparison. Adjusting the volume up to hear what you're saying is greeted with the ear shattering music afterwards.

You could do all that walking back and forth with a level, and moving the stringers back and forth.... Or you could take the total elevation distance, divide it into 8 inch or less risers (more of a rule than a suggestion) and use a little math and a framing square. Not a sermon, just a thought
