In today's video, I'm going to show you how I built this really clean, modern looking handrail system with led stair treads.
The Handrail was made from Western Maple and the glass was purchased from my local glass supplier. The stair treads were made from Eastern Maple and the risers where made from 1/4" may primed then painted with Benjamin Moore Scuff-x

Came from your 2021 house tour video. Your work is beatiful and your tutorial is so detailed that I know I can never do it by myself.
Absolutely beautiful!

As I've posted on Facebook, quality job that, love how its been done properly, with no corners cut, just all done the right way, it's a crying shame you don't see the same effort, pride, and high standard of work in other similar videos, more work for the proper joiners I guess though lol, UTB

Well done! Beautiful design and execution. Did you just order your glass from a glass shop? How thick was it and was it custom-made and tempered? Can you give a sense of what that cost? Thanks for the great channel
@RadDadBuilds

hey yea I ordered the glass from my local auto glass shop. the glass is 3/8" thick and tempered and cost me $320 CAD
@ 20:26 the left red/black cable goes into the transformer, does the second red/black wire (in the middle) connects a series of LED strips (daisy chain each for each stair)? Also where does the brown cable connect to? Thanks
I hope that glass is hardened and turns into bits of glass gravel when it shatters, instead of large lethal glass knives. Honestly I think using clear ultra-scratch-resistant Lexan or similar would have been vastly better than any type of glass. Even a kid running full tilt and sliding into that type of Lexan would just bounce off and it would still look basically exactly like glass. I'm also a bit concerned about the actual strength of that post since it's only half thickness going through the floor but it's probably just me being overly conservative.
What do you think the estimate price would be for this diy job? You did great btw!
How much of an overhang did you end up with on the stair treads? I'm planning to do this, but with 15mm nosing and 15mm LED channel I'm looking at 30mm overhang which is potentially a bit much?
Looks great! You didn't list the transformers on the electrical list.
How did you figure out the mitre cuts and angles for the handrail and newel post to make it a 90 degree angle?
Stumbled across this channel by luck and really enjoy the way you explain (and the quality of your work). Defo getting a sub from me! Food for thought for some future videos/tutorials: If you could not use your shop tools as I'm sure lots of newbies like me don't have them and would struggle to work out how we could complete a project with standard/basic tools. (Not sure if that makes any sense, but bottom line is, you're awesome and like your work...YEEEEAAP!)
You could have use motion sensors . But looks good 👍
It looks fabulous, takes a skilled carpenter to do it that neat. I'm thinking of doing something similar on a patio surround. Can I ask did you let the 1st bead of silicone set in the channel before fitting the glass??

will wood movement be a concern?

Hi Rad Dad, this is really awesome! I'm looking to follow this video and upgrade to glass railings. Just wondering how stable your build is, with the glass just sitting in the wood channels? For me both ends of the rail are posts that are free standing (unlike yours where one end is attached to the wall), which is why I'm a little unsure..
Such a fantastic job man. How do you like the Osmo oil?

Did you let the silicone dry before putting the glass in? Or was it used as a glue??

No I put the glass in right away. Granted I could have used a little less to save on clean up.
Anyone know how much does it cost to hire a contractor to pull this off? (labor only)

What are those things that are under the stairs? They're under every stair and made of wood.

Ok so ... How do you get underneath the stairs?! We also have a staircase which is between 2 concrete walls but we have nowhere to go underneath the stairs ... How do I attach the treads then that they're sturdy and safe enough?
@RadDadBuilds
3 жыл бұрын
Honestly the subfloor adhesive or any construction adhesive would be strong enough to hold the treads down. You might want to tape them to secure them in place until the adhesive has dried. They tend to move slightly as you walk on them when wet.
