I LOVE a nice solid joint!

This guy does a lot of shoppe work in his basement, he loves wood working, and had a LOT of heavy machinery he would be bringing up and down this staircase.

He wanted to know if I could reinforce the staircase to take more weight.

So I removed this old staircase, and replaced all the stringers with 2x12 LAM Beams, and bolted and adhesive it all to the top.
I doubled up OSB plywood for his steps, because he wanted a more "industrial look"

Let me tell you.. this was one heavy duty staircase...
Every step was EXACTLY the same height going up the flight... framers always seem to have a hard time keeping the rises consistent....

Weird how well things turn out, when you do it all yourself!
