Hi guys, Since most of you are carpenters im hoping some one can help, I have a bit of a problem that no one seems to be a able to answer for me. I have a staircase to install in a clients home its a double kite winder one at the top of the stair and one at the bottom, (see plans attached) I know traditionally you can have one kite winder with a flying newel but can you have two flying newels. In the picture the two newels with out support are the ones on the corner of each kite winder, the other two newels will be supported by the trimmers and external walls of the house. Any help would be greatly appreciated since im stumped and i don't want to install a staircase that is unstable. many thanks luke Luke Randall - Plan Revision 1.pdf (97.99 KB)

Don't seem able to download, but from what I can tell normally you would have 2 newal posts going to the floor and basically don't want the newa posts going to the floor. Couple of questions does the area above need to have the newal posts or could they be omitted altogether. If can be, possibly gives a couple of options. One possibility is to have the corners made up with staves to form the curve and then fixed to stringers so from the bottom to the top the stingers become one unit, or have the stringer made up with veneers to form one continuous piece.

Have built three story staircases similar to the PDF provided ,built on site with over lapped stringers tied in to landings for self support. This appears to be a manufactured staircase built offsite , this stair shop will have to address the floating corners.

Thanks guys, Yup this is a manufactured staircase from pear stairs, all newel posts are tied together with mortise and tenon joinery and draw bores to hold it all together so the inner stringer would effectively become one piece, i've seen examples where the both newel post are floating (see photo attached) what i want to achieve is amost identical to this and i imagine they made the stairs the traditional way ![](//storage.proboards.com/3639287/thumbnailer/K_fdF6qVwuDetZeym_BW.jpg)
