No sawdust, and that saw is pretty sharp by the looks of things!

ah, OK cheers Jim. It looks like it will be possible one way or another! now I know its possible, time to hunt down someone with the capabilities Thanks a lot for the help, Tom

excellent model Tom, thanks for sharing

Tom, great work. I am curious are you using Sketchup to layout the stair, to show to the client, to build from etc. or all of the above. Cheers Peter K

It will be used outside. I needed some outside seating for my sisters 21st, so i made 8 of these. its made from redwood,and ill probably just paint them. Tom.

gimme ten mins

Wow, just went through that whole thread. some amazing ideas there, shame most wouldnt pass any regulations cheers for the link

yea its intentional, i made a few of these you see using a cnc router, and didnt want to have to hand finish those internal corners (those internal corners have a round the radius of the cutter i used). Tom.

Hmm, i guess its not for everyone. although id urge you to give it another go, i cant remember putting any complicated parameters in. also, try VMWARE, it emulates an entire pc inside your linux os, (so you just allocate it a few gb of your HDD, and then install xp to that)

If you got off on the wrong foot with the "Samba stairs" you could spend the whole day just climbing in place.

yea, I think ill probably be making some similar ones for his friends. I will be modelling my car audio install in sketchup too, probably next year now. Tom.
