![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Use Wood Designer’s StairFile service, it will save you hours of calculations and possibly expensive errors. – If you don’t have a good understanding of geometry and maths, and can’t use some sort of CAD software don’t try to draw up the plans by yourself. It’s easy to use and covers most of the different types of stairs that might want to build. – Use StairDesigner to design your project. Yesterday I did the install and everything fell into place perfectly, just like the drawing.įor anyone who would like to undertake a similar challenge, I would humbly give the following advice: I worked part time at my own pace, for 2 months (I’m retired so I do have some free time) and machined up the parts. I chose to make the stairs in spruce, using only the minimal tools that I had at hand, a jointer, circular saw, a router and an orbital sander. I managed to draw the plans and use Progecad to get all the part sizes. I revised my trigonometry and rolled up my sleeves to learn to use the free version of ProgeCad. I opted to take up the challenge and draw the plans myself. I thought of buying your highly-rated plans (through your StairFile service), or to accept the challenge and reconstruct the plans from the specifications given by the demo version of Stair Designer. Nonetheless, having at my disposal the plans of the parts, steps, stringers, posts and spindles, but without dimensions, I found myself with a choice to make: not being a professional I did not want to buy the full version of the software. With help of your documentation and tutorials, I quickly and easily got the hang of using the free version of Stair Designer, and designed a stair to fit my project. Browsing the web for help and information I quickly found your StairDesigner software which gave me the answers to my questions. I’m not a professional woodworker, in fact I’m a scientist, but I’ve always liked woodwork. The stair was a ¼ turn, with a total height of 3,28 m, at a 95°.Īfter a long time spent trying to force his industrial software to build a stair that would fit, the salesman could only offer a 15 step quarter turn with a 90 angle. 6 months ago I went to a well known stair manufacturer in France to order a cheap staircase to enable me to access the first floor of my garage. To start, I’d like to thank you for all the help and advice you have given on your site and emails.
