"Building a spiral staircase. You can see as we put this staircase together some part seems fairly easy to do and but it would not be possible without the aid of some good tools. One is a computer with a good CADD program on it to help lay things out; laying the pickets out, lengths that they need to be cut, the angles that they need to be cut on, the size of the steps and how far apart to put the picket. Those type of things were all figured out on the computer. Also accurate measurements with the aid of a self adjusting laser make a lot of difference to make sure you have accurate measurements. Most of the things there is nothing more disappointing than getting out on site, setting up your spiral staircase or setting it with a crane and realize you are off a couple of inches or half inch or something that just really makes it hard to make up for, you put all that work into it and lot of money into it. So act and be very careful and on your measurements and some good tools makes all the difference. Just a note Weldon Moon, my name as you have heard several times, we are running a company in North Salt Lake City, Utah called American Eagle Welding and we have put out great products and will be happy to help anyone that we can so, thank you."
