Welding Pickets to the Stairs for a Spiral Staircase
Hi! I am Weldon Moon and I am on behalf of Expertvillage.com. There is another step in building the spiral staircase. This is a step that we have had formed, broke and was actually cut on the water jet. They call breaking these edges and form the step of the size that I need it to build the spiral. My step here that I would like to do at this point is take a picket and we will attach these to the steps before I build the spiral. So I lay out the step and mark this where the pickets go and then take the pickets and level them up by taking leveled this piece up and you make sure it is perfectly level. Then I will place this picket on the spiral here, so at this point we will just go ahead and show you just quickly how I am doing this and move on to the next step. So find the location and level it and then we will attach the corner of it. We have finished this step, and see we have got the pickets on, we got them to the heights that they need to be, the angle they need to be and they are leveled and so this makes it very easy to put this spiral staircase together once I have the number of steps and in this one I need eleven of them. So I have got that taken care at this point.
