A wasn't going to make them mate a sed as never make stairs agen after making them 6 days a week for 5 year but the joiner the coustomer brought with him practically begged me to Infront of his coustomer so a felt sorry for the bloke haha but a few hours to get the templates spot on a few more to flatten the slabs with the router sled then sanding then router them out using the temps which was quicker than I thought it would be because it's a nightmare sometimes beech a final sand then osmo all in probably just under 2 days mate 

Turned out not too bad for making them in an old pigion loft in an allotment haha

Normally a spiral like that will have steel base frame treads and risers and the timber is screwed on during fitting mark.I have fitted quite a few spirals and the centre pole is fitted first and all the steel treads slide over the pole then as you make up the stairs.Look really nice with the wooden treads in a room central so the staircase is the main feature.

No mate the treads literally just go between the pole and outside wall as Les sed there metal treads with a small pole on each that the next one slides into if you zoom in on the pole you should see the little collor that covers the joint on each tread in this pic you can see the shape of them pole end where they butt upto the pole all the strength is in the steelwork mate

Only thing to be carful of adding the treads after is the max rise of 225 mm as a 245/250 mm rise will make you feel heavy legged walking up them. Nice job mark
