Yes, I noticed this makes the first step look much better.
We could have added this in StairDesigner and got a better spacing on banisters.
We’ll do that next time round.
I noticed too that you have wedged the risers (and steps I suppose) into the strings.
Is the under side of the stair hidden?
I know this is standard practice in the UK but have always found that the European way, just housing and screwing a couple of steps makes for a cleaner finish and a lot less work. In this way the under side of the stair can be left showing.
Here’s one we made a few years ago.
Most of the steps and risers are just floating with just a couple of screws driven in from underneath in discrete corners to fix 2 steps per flight.
What do you think?
All the best,

You may notice Ness, we pulled back the bottom newel on site to give a bit more access with the bullnose tread.
Bit of a cheat really, as the newel is not far enough into the second tread, but it seemed to work.

Hi All
Very unusually for us, we had a request for a small winder stair for an elderly client.
It’s been years since I did stairs and especially winder ones. So with the help of Ness and the software which to be fair I didnt have time to learn we designed and produced by hand (well routers were used) the set as shown below in under 10 days from start to finish.
It’s a big thumbs up from us to the power of the software, the internet and this group.
And for terry, spot the domino…
