Treez,
I marvel at the details in that stairway and how you combine wood and steel in such an artistic way. The solution for the doorway at the top of the stairway is really cool. Thanks for sharing all those pictures to reveal some of your process for doing these things.
Also to Everyone:
A big THANKS to ALL TACOS who share something on this thread.

Treeeez-
Stairs are looking good. I'll do mine in a few weeks, I'll post up when I do.
Yeah, nobody likes a f*#ked up rock in there bathroom.
If you want something done right..... Do it yourself I guess.
The quartz bench in that shower has electric heat mat imbedded in the dry pack mortar. There's a $$$ glass door coming in a few weeks for it. The liner is under the poured concrete floor sloped to the drain. Bummer the soap niche wouldn't make a 12" layout, but nothing short of changing the shear panels on the exterior of the house could be done. Somebody else's poor planning. Details man, details.

A while back I posted this pic of the deck I framed over a multi-sloped rubber roof.
I finally got to deck it.
I told the guys doing the cement board siding that I remembered a time, BITD, when building materials were made of wood.
They scoffed, but I pointed out that they were responsible for the extinction of the great cement and plastic forests, whose previous existence are well documented on scrolls in a sealed container inside the massive ark on the moon.

Some artificial stuff made from melted army men and chopped up traffic cones, I think.
Best line of the thread Edge. Trex is crap. But it's crap that will last longer than the 2x12 under it. I can understand why people use it.

Same double cement board w/ spacer detail, Reilly. 3 sides and 1 floor to be next skinned in sheet steel.
Really, it's about as good as it can get for what we're dealing with, but wouldn't hold up to re-entry from orbit.

Ruppell,
On Edge's project the client is in a fire zoning district. They do not allow wood siding or decking with the exception of Ipe, which meets the required fire resistance.
Sorta funny that mountain homes can't be build, or at least cladded with natural materials.
Prod.

Made another sword scabbard for a friend.
Historically accurate reproduction scabbard based on 14th Century effigies, brasses and illuminated manuscripts.
Wood core was made from tulip poplar, and lined with fullered wool strips.
Leather cover and belt was made from veg-tan leather.
I forged my own steel stamp for the leather tooling.
I hammered the chape and strap end from brass.
The belt buckle was commercially produced.

Yeah? Bows are scary, especially if you were a Frenchman at Agincourt in 1415.
Really nice work, Bamboo.
SLR, you really crank that beauteosity out tout de suite!
