The Staircase project - 100% handmade
Started on 01/07/2009, completed on 01/07/2010 


Last year, we decided to design and make a whole staircase.
The main reason was that we had a concrete, raw, staircase without handrail in a 3 floors house and a kid with a great willing to walk. Fast.

We decided it made out of oak, stainless steel and glass.

But I nearly knew nothing about staircase design, woodworking, metal working (milling, lathing, welding) and all the tools I had were a small metal grinder and a battery powered drill !

At first glance, this seemed quite of a challenge.


Here are all the steps of this project:


1. 3D CAD design
2. 3D CAD rendering
3. Parts machining
4. Parts welding (TIG)
5. Joining parts together
6. Adding the oak steps
7. Tempered glass panels

Bonus: the terrace guardrail

Some videos (milling & welding)
