I've been desiring for a long time a
victorian cast iron spiral stairs, because I can imagine a lot of
possibilities to make with it: an old library, the study of a Victorian painter or photographer ...
To get it, I used an inexpensive
fretwork wood fan.
I disassembled two fans, and I used
only that part of each bar that you can see on the picture.
The wood sheet is so thin, that I
recommend you to use a little scissors, and sand every step
carefully.
I made the holes and glued each two
steps face to face, in order to obtain stronger stairs.
I took the high from a miniature stairs that I had, and I drawed the shape of the riser on some wood strips, Them I cut with the scissors.
Pegué cada contrahuella a cada escalón.
I glued every rise on its step
Corté parte del dibujo de las barillas del abanico, para hacer los laterales de los escalones.
I cut part of each bar fan to design
the side of each step.
El eje es una palo de brocheta
The shaft is a brochette stick
Para hacer el pasamanos en espiral, primero soldé los barrotes a a un alambre más largo respetando el mismo ángulo.
To make the stairs rail, I soldered
several short wires to a longer one with the same angle.
Para hacer la curva helicoidal, sólo recomiendo paciencia y soldaduras resistentes.
To make the curve of the staris rail, I
only recommend patience and good welds.
Hice pasar por cada escalón un barrote y en el extremo coloqué una bola de bisutería.
I put each rail through the hole in the
corresponding step, and I glued a glass bed in the end.
Y así es como hice la estructura. Estas escaleras son preciosas en color verde bronce, o blanco, pero he decidido pintarlas en negro con pintura en espray, y añadir restos de óxido con marrones, naranjas.
And that is how I did it. These stairs
are very beautiful in green bronze or white but I've decided to paint
it in black with spray painting , and add rusty remains.
To get that look, I painted with three
colors, pumpkin, brown and sunflower.

Thanks a million, Mara, for sharing these instructions! Your staircase is a beauty! I' going to follow your instructions to make one. Just received a fan to make them. Good advise to glue two together for the strength as the wood in fan is very thin!
ResponderEliminarThis is such a brilliant idea for spiral stairs! Thank you for sharing, hug
