Stairs!

[Tech413]

Hi all! First real post here, other than intro. Thought I would share my project. Building 2 sets of stairs and two landings for our new home! This is my first project with my brand new Domino XL and I am in love! We are building a log home so lots of big timber, posts are 6x6 and stringers and joists on landings are 3x12. I cut almost all the mortises for the basement landing and gluesd up one side of it in roughly an hour! WOW! What a time saver! Anyway, more pics will follow as the job progresses![attachimg=1]

Lots of Dominoes!

Rest of the wood cut!

Thanks for sharing- I'm looking forward to more pics of the progress.  Always curious about the different uses folks are getting out of the XL.

Progress from yesterday and today! I work full time besides trying to build this house so progression is slow. Basement landing frame is done!

Well done sir.
I personally would not been able to be creative enough to use the domino as a timber framing tool replacement.

A little update on my slow progression for anyone interested! My Domino XL, 2200 router and TS 75 made working these treads and stringers a breeze! Now waiting on some additional clamps to come in and some slow set epoxy, I'm thinking this glue up is going to take a bit of time!

Tech, that looks great! Beautiful looking wood. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Kind and makes me want to go out and get a Domino XL

It is probably one of my favourite tools! Super easy to work with and fast!

That's impressive! How are you going to manage the assembly?

That's what I'm working on figuring out! The epoxy I'm going to pick up says a working time of 90-110 minutes, I'm gluing all the dominoes into the treads before hand so that'll make things a bunch easier.

Thanks, I plan to do something similar but couldn't figure how to do the glue up. You have thought it out well, going to watch your posts closely!  Mike

 

[Tech413]

Sounds good! This is a bit of a learn as I go process but I'll answer any questions you have!

Totally depending on you! What a wonderful forum this is.[emoji106]

That is a serious way to get to know the Domino.  My first runs were not nearly as ambitious [jawdrop]

How are you allowing for wood expansion across the grain of the treads with routed mortices!!?

There is a small amount of gap in the mortises but because of all the wood in the house, I am already having to strictly control humidity so I don't expect too much expansion.

Excellent, I'll be making some stair soon too.
