This completed staircase marks the final outcome of a significant part of our apprentice’s Advanced Craft course in Carpentry & Joinery studies during his 3rd Year Apprenticeship at Kelvin College.
What began as lines marked onto a timber stringer has now developed into a fully assembled staircase, demonstrating the precision and technical understanding required within modern joinery.
Complex stair construction involves far more than simply cutting and assembling timber. The housed stringers, tread and riser alignment, newel connections and balustrade details must all work together accurately to achieve a clean, flowing staircase that remains within the tolerances expected by building standards.
Projects like this help develop the higher-level practical skills expected from an apprentice progressing towards becoming a fully qualified craftsperson.
One staircase completed. Another stage of development achieved.
