Hi Mike,

I’ve tweaked you stair a bit.

Added a landing step, made the stringer straight and wider to accommodate the winders, etc.

Your steps are very thick at 2 1/2, thicker than your stringers, are you sure this is correct?

The risers are also resting on the steps, you might consider passing them behind the steps.

If the this is OK with you, I can send the working documents.

All the best,

Ness

Hi Mike,

Here are a couple of variations on your stair with a 9″x9″ post.

I’m supposing that the big post is sitting on the floor and extending up above the first floor.

I’m guessing that you want to assemble the upper balustrade into the big post.

The strings are recessed into the post, but it would be simpler to use false tenons or big dowels and bolts.

The model mike01v01 positions the strings in the middle of the post:

This reduces some what the width of the steps around the turning.

You might find it better to off set the strings as in the version mike01v02

You can control the height of the post with the “top height from ground parameter”:

You can tweak this project to your needs, post the final draft and I’ll process it to sent you back the working documents.

All the best,

Ness
