I knew it was just a matter of time but didnt realize it would be less than a week. I was standing in the kitchen last evening and my daughter decided instead of making two trips to carry her junk down the stairs she tried to make one.

Dropped her freaking music stand at the top and dinged/scratched/gouged/chipped every single step.

I handled it way better than Wifey.

It'll just be a little traction for ya on the treads

 

[paragonbuilder]

Wow John! That's fantastic. Looks like with the thick tread you meet code without risers. What are you doing for a rail?

Too bad about the unfortunate mishap...

 

[Magic_Man]

Fantastic work John, those look amazing. I like that you painted the spine the same as the wall.

Just adds character my friend, I'm sure it won't be the last. Just like anything else the first time is the hardest.

True that! Lots of yuppies intentionally hit wood with all kids of stuff like chains, nails, rasps, etc. to age and weather it. You have a cool story to tell for the rest of your life!

I built the backbone from 6x6" .25" square tubing and 4" risers. 2x2' plate on bottom secured to doubled 10" floor joists.

What welding machine did you use to weld it out?

There will not be an outside rail. I am going to do a handrail on the wall. Id like to do a 2-3" square tube with a gun blued finish. Mum aint sold on that yet though.

I couldn't help but think hand rail too. I was thinkin 1"x4" rectangular tube hung from the ceiling. No balusters going with the open riser suspended look.

That would be different spin on it and look good.

 

[dall]

another idea would be mounting handrail from the bottom of metal tread
