This is a youtube video showing the upgrade of the upgrade. Mike Haasl and the PTJ crew finished it! It's going to be in the movies - the Low Tech Laboratory Movie 2, hopefully, if the Kickstarter is successful!

Thinking why not spread pitch on the steps and then sprinkle some sand on that? Homemade sandpaper for when it's wet/icey.

Yeah, that would confer some water resistance as well...

Paul just published a new video of the log stairs! Clickety click on the pic!




I think they are beautiful! I want to create these kinds of stairs too, I have a spot at my place that needs something like this! Thank you Mike for creating these stairs. :)

The railing looks like Gandalf's staff! It just needs a white stone (big chunk of quartz?) and it will be complete. I will keep an eye out for something in the right proportions this summer.
