Hi Per Birger,

The arrival of the stair is actually 1041mm between posts and 1570mm start.

 This still makes for quite a wide and majestic stair, but of course it’s still possible to make the bottom narrower and the top wider.

The problem being that with less angled flair the actual flair becomes less visible and the stair tends to look like an ordinary straight stair.

Hello Ness,

I appreciate you discovered this pretty obvious flaw. I will have to check out the meaning of this change. At the first glimpse I think the top steps are way to narrow. The stair has somewhat lost its extravagant qualities. As it is now it is a bit to much. I think this have to be solved by reducing the angle on the spread for the stringers back to the original 5 degrees.

Hi Per Birger,

Sorry to get back so late but been over busy with work to catch up on these last couple of days.

Looking at your project I’ve made a few modifications to fit better into the new space.

With the ceiling height and the stair well we were lacking head room so I’ve reduced the number of steps.

This also make the stair a bit shorter so more compact and a gain in space on the ground floor.

Although this increases the step height the step width is also increased so the general incline is good and the stair is still be easy to use.

To allow for sufficient space between the handrail and the ceiling I’ve also reduced slightly the stair width.

With wooden balusters I suggest not installing an intermediary post.

Please look at the proposed project and if it’s OK I’ll send you the working documents.

All the best,

Ness

Hi Per Birger,

Your boat is awesome.

I’d love to hear more about how you built it.

I’m away for a couple of days so I’ll work on your project when I get back Tuesday.

All the best,

Ness

Hi Ness,

here is the boat, an aerial view. This is during the Tall Ship festival in Bergen last year.

I am not finished with the interiors as yet. As I mentioned, Ive done a door and the stair, which you designed. Furthermore I am going to make a cupboard in the mid section under deck. I am looking for ideas :-)

Regards

Hi Ness,

Ive checked measurements. I have put them into a small table below;

Glasskaråsen      
       
Height (floor to floor) 281 cm  
Ceiling opening l 280 Cm  
Ceiling opening w 165 Cm (170 actually, but requires 2,5cm clearance on both sides)
Stair max l 340 Cm Preferably shorter if possible. Limited room at the lower end of stair to door. Stair needs to be easy to climb though)
Step t 6,2 Cm  
Ceiling to floor 41 Cm  

As for the railings, I think your suggested design is a possibility. However, Id like the original vertical wood design to be a part of the drawings. The reason is that I then have drawings for the wooden parts whatever design I decide for the railings.

I am looking forward to see what the manufacturing files will look like.

Regards

Hi Per Birger,

I see that you have had a busy holiday.

For the balusters glass or vertical wood is possible and only a question of taste.

Have you thought of using railing like this?

 Before we process the manufacturing files I would like to check the head room.

Can you send me the exact size of the stair well and the thickness of the upper floor joists?

Love to see some pictures of the boat .

All the best,

Ness

Ness,

we had a very nice celebration here in Norway. I mostly worked in my boat, sanding the stair I built this summer. Ive also put together a door prototype for the cabins. I had to move onboard the boat, because the weather was so bad in the shed. The whole lot is now ready for varnishing. I have promised I will put in a pic of the oak stairs when I have finished.

in my opinion the glass balusters worked out very well. I have pinpointed the fact that this is an solution enabling more light and a more roomy impression. My partner did not think this was easy to work out. Maybe we should just leave the balusters as they are – and that we either way is possible?

Thank you for narrowing the top steps.

I guess we are then ready to have the drawings to come out?

Regards

PB

Hello Per Birger,

Thanks for your wishes, we have had a busy but enjoyable Christmas holiday and I hope that your end of year festivities have also been good.

From what you say about your stair well the stair as designed  will fit into the well at 1650mm wide.

It’s a pity about abandoning the glass balusters as I thought it gave a lighter and more original and modern feel to the stair than the traditional wooden bars.

What is the problem with the glass?

In the end how do you want to make the strings?

All the best,

Ness
