  • I made a stair into the shop from glulam beams I salvaged from the pool house that we demolished to build the shop. The stair consists of two heavy sides connected by 3 stair treads. The stair is on wheels and the idea is that it can be both a stair and a platform to help get heavy machinery and materials in and out of the shop. It can also be a step ladder to get to high storage around the shop.

    frank howarth Your videos are awesome as usual, but if it is possible...even better. After watching "BrainPick - Live Q&A with Frank Howarth" from Bob's "I Like To Make Stuff" channel, I can appreciate even more the things you have to go thru to narrate your videos and have them come out so well. I would have never known you have a difficult time speaking if it weren't for that Q&A. Thank you for continuously overcoming the seemingly improbable. Thank you again.

    One of my first jobs out of college while looking for an intern architect position was to rehabilitate glue lam beams. This video brought back many memories of that job and time, thanks Frank!

    I like the contrasting nose on the treads. Very wise Frank!

  • @Tugmun11
    @Tugmun11 Před 9 lety +14

    Frank another great video, The contrasting trim pieces on the tread edges was a brilliant Idea, it made perfect sense. I''m sure I would have realized it's necessity about two weeks after completing the steps... And Thanks for your art and generosity...

      @alsanova Před 9 lety

      Totally! It help visually where's the step edge are from top end as I did had trouble able to view few steps in restaurant last year because it all look too uniform, I could ended up falling over!

  • @jupiter909
    @jupiter909 Před 9 lety +1

    Really solid stairs! I like the way you apply design principles to your projects in that they are functional and aesthetically pleasing/balanced. Thanks for the fantastic videos. All the best for 2015.

  • @SB-fr6pl
    @SB-fr6pl Před 9 lety +2

    Wow, awesome! The stairs really look like they do belong there! I love how you picked the design for it and how you chose the size for your steps and the dark border for safety reasons. Getting a job done from beginning to the end in this way is adorable!

  • @davidclauson6681

      Thanks. I'm hoping I can move it around to get to the higher storage in the shop.

  • @iusedtobehip
    @iusedtobehip Před 9 lety

    Great video, Frank! I really liked the idea of putting the contrasting wood on the nose of the tread. Really practical and not something I would have thought of.

  • @rydude998
    @rydude998 Před 9 lety +41

    i thoroughly enjoyed the shot around 5:10 I like the idea of you helping yourself in the workshop
    it would be entertaining to see a wide angle version of this with multiple yours working like an assembly line
    excellent work

    • @TobiasRedepenning
      @TobiasRedepenning Před 9 lety +2

      Frank does this in another video, but I don't remember which one

    • @fillg
      @fillg Před 9 lety +5

      That would be a neat shot, like a bunch of twins or triplets or whatever. He just needs to make sure not to invite the "evil twin Frank" to help. That guy is a jerk and just might push one of the good Franks through the planer. LOL :)

    • @frankmakes
      @frankmakes  Před 9 lety +4

      I was thinking that too. Over lap gets hard so it would have to be well planed out. I could see a video where there is 2 or 3 of me in every shot.

    • @frankmakes
      @frankmakes  Před 9 lety +23

      fillg I like the idea of a good frank putting things together and an evil frank taking them apart.

    @euroriderdk Před 9 lety +111

    Frank with your video editing skills, and all the tools you have in the shop. You should really consider making a kids movie, where the tools have there own life in the night, and make some great stuff while everyone else is sleeping. Like a small series where the tools talk, have fun and find a solution to a problem that human cant solve :)
    I know you already made something like that, but not fully. Love your videos.

  • @BillVanLoo
    @BillVanLoo Před 9 lety +1

    Frank, your videos never fail to inspire. There's always something new; in this case, it was the brilliant inside-the-planet camera perspective and the beauty of your dual-solution rounded mortise and rounded stair treads. Beautiful work!

    I had a baby diaper changing table in my garage that I was using to store tools and stuff, which was given to a friend recently and would be used what it was made for. So, I decided to make a tool table myself. So, I started looking at the internet to see what people are making and their videos. I watched many and then I stumbled across one of yours and ever since I am 'hooked'. I learned bit more about you from your Facebook page and respect you more. You make great things and great videos that are fun to watch and learn. Thank you so much for taking time to make and share all your videos. Please continue....
