Hi Stefan,
Sorry for the delay. I’ve just paid for the stairfile pro service now.
It is indeed hard being self employed sometimes, but I do love it, so mustn’t grumble too much!!
The insurance company have just asked for some documents, so hopefully things are starting to move forward on that score. I had three months without any income at all, and lost my van and a lot of (fairly expensive) tools and have had 0€ help so far with getting back on my feet (not easy i can tell you). Anyway I won’t bore you with all my woes.
Don’t know if you need more info on the stair/well etc, actually thinking on, I have made some minor alterations myself, so i’ll re-send it.
Kind regards
Luke

Hi Luke, sorry to hear about the accident, glad you’ve got understanding clients…it’s tough working for yourself when this kind of thing happens.
For your stair, do you need full size templates for printing? If so, please buy the StairFile Pro service again here: https://wooddesigner.org/membe…..discounts/
That service would include a review/revision as well of course.
All the best, Stefan
Just been reading through the previous posts. Seems all that rushing around was for nothing after all!!
Hi Ness,
It’s been sometime since I last posted, the day after my last post, (27th october 2015) On my way home from the workshop, I was hit by a car travelling at considerable speed (the impact was so violent that it tore the engine from my van). It seems that the driver of the other car suffered a stroke at the wheel.
After months without being able to work at all, I have for the last couple of months been trying to get back up to speed with my jobs (I am fortunate enough to have very understanding/patient clients).
I have attached another staircase design that I’d like to get printed up.
Would you be mind having a quick look at it please?
Many thanks
Luke
Hi Ness,
I didn’t pick up your reply, till 24 hrs after you sent it, so it was more me that was too late!
Thank you so much for sorting that out for me.
It was too late on saturday afternoon, to find a printshop that was open near here, but I have spoken to my clients, and they are fine with waiting a little longer for the stairs, so all is well with the world. Will get the prints today.
Thanks again
Luke

Hi Luke,
Here are the pdf files for the second stair.
Just output the strings and posts, the rest should be the same.
I’ve been busy and didn’t see you were in a rush.
Hope I’m not too late.
All the best,
Ness
Hi Ness,
I am right in the middle of machining the parts for the first stair, and have just noticed that the plans are for the second storey stair. The only major difference is the height. But this impacts slightly on most of the parts. Is there any chance I could have the info for: Cut strings, Newels and handrails for a height reduced from the 2720mm to 2640mm please? I am happy to pay for the printing of full size templates for the whole thing, but would need it to get here in the next two days. don’t know if this is possible. If not, I will mark out the parts by hand. Sorry if this is a pain but I’m on a very tight schedule, and clutching at straws a little.
Merci d’avance
Luke

Hi Luke,
Good to hear you can work with the printer.
I’ve used them several times for StairFile customers and have been very satisfied.
For the cut strings, StairDesigner doesn’t draw the penetrations into the newel, you’ll have to mark them by hand onto the strings and the newels. The actual version doesn’t cope very well with cut strings but it’s quite easy to add this detail onto the pdf print outs.
This can be where the plan view comes in hand.
With a plan view you can measure the distances and mark them onto the post and strings. The plan view is very helpful to work out the detailing around the posts and generally in the corners where parts intersect.
If you can’t measure from the dxf CADD drawing, I would suggest you print the plan if possible.
Don’t hesitate to post your questions if you need advice on marking up or transferring the plan view dimensions onto the parts.
All the best,
Ness
Also, I was wondering if you systematically print all of the PDF files? Not sure I need a full scale plan for example.
Many thanks
Luke
Hi Ness,
Thanks for the lead on the Printers, I’ve just spoken to them on the phone, and they seem happy to help, and post to me here (Rochechouart, 87600, Haute Vienne). So that’s great.
Just one thing that I’d like to alter on the files, I noticed that I didn’t add any penetration of the cut strings into the newels, this means I will have to mark out the mortices by hand. Not the end of the world, but if it’s simple for you, would it be ok to change them before I print?
Not to worry if it’s too late in the day for the changes.
Cheers
Luke
