Horizontal distance between the inside faces of the posts plus the thickness of a spindle is the measurement you want. Go for whatever centre's you want as long as the gap between sticks is less then 100mm...90mm is pretty good. Whatever you work out,remember you'll have one space more then...

They're a strange bunch in there Dan,anyone who's content to spend their working day turning pellets on a lathe...

Or you could just phone this crowd up... http://www.cherrywoodworkers.co.uk/ ...costs up to a fiver for a box of 100 pellets plus postage.They're trade.

Seems to be problems sending pm's Roger...? This is what was sent last weekend. Closer to what you were after even though it's probably too late now.

Mark the holes out either side Ed & then drill in from each side if you've not got a pillar drill,you've half the chance of drilling on the p!ss that way. Me,I normally went 25mm to the centre of the hole,depends on how long your tenon is though,too close to the end & it'll break out.

Tell you what Ed,you've done a blinding job on those stairs,you've cleaned them up a treat mate,they look good. As for scotia's,well this'll answer crazey's post as well,generally speaking you'll find them on cut-string stairs only,the main reason for this is to cover breakout at the top of the...

Back on line now Roger,pm sent.

Laser guides do come in very handy sometimes,maybe not on chop-saws,& maybe not on home woodworking machines but to dismiss them as a gimmick is wrong. This machine is a wadkin PU straight line edger,possibly the best rip saw ever devised,underneath that housing is a sawblade that'll eat...

FFS...!!! You sound like my missus Just got in from watching the spurs game in the pub so I won't do anything tonight Roger,if you went for an ex 4" post then you'd be laughing,give us a day or two & I'll give you a few more alternatives. That took about 30mins to sort out,5 mins for the...

Give Timbmet up in Oxfordshire a bell & see if you can still get double kilned softwood off them in the sizes you want Darren.

This any good Roger,or does it need any fine tuning ? The dims for the winders are only approximate,they're as close as I can get with a 1:10 squiggle,needs setting out full size on an mdf board or something similar.

Good enough Roger,put them up here or pm them to us,tight measurements or working measurements & we'll get it sorted out mate.

No,you can actually build a stairs with winders without a post if you like,we use to call them "shark fin" stairs due to the shape of the strings which takes the place of the post. What I need is the plan of the stairs including the measurements of where it finishes & where it's likely to...

Generally you'd want 12 risers on that one,ideally you'd want to keep the rise under 200mm. However,as you've said,lets keep with the setting out so far.A good rule of thumb method is the rise plus 10% plus a bit to keep within the 42 degrees.(where's the degrees button on the puter...?) A...

Good enough Roy,sometimes you had to pull a few strokes to get them in,mind :)

That won't always work Roy,sometimes you have to set out with the space you're given.

Not for setting out,no,not if that's what you're after. Naturally you can google practical stairbuilding books or better still,have a look through www.abebooks.com . Keep the website to yourself though 8)

They look like some kind of "z-bar",a metal version of split battens.

...A winder corner does require more space than a quarter landing in order to comply with Building regulations... It's only the setting out of the winder box that can be slightly larger then the setting out of the 1/4 landing(note the word "can"this isn't always the case through,it can be the...

I know Roy,had a place down in High Wycombe for a while,was interesting listening to one of the old boys giving us a brief summary of how Wycombe became famous for for it's chairs & furniture.Those damned londoners !!! You anywhere near Biddenham ? I like fishing the ouse round there :)
