Yarmouth stirrup steps
Pierre Oliver
The technique I use, (And I recognize I should put in the website
somewhere soon.) is to use 2 pair of needlenose pliers. Grip with
one just below the fine notch and just above the notch with the
other pair and twist.
As for drilling, a sharp bit should pass through the phosphor bronze quite easily.

Anyone else have problems twisting the top of these so the holes lie flat on the sides?
Any suggestions? Stuff does not drill easily.

Hope it works for you Ed.
Now in that vein, what would you guys like to see for guides for some of these fiddly bits, like folding ladder stiles, and twisting the stirrups?
Some form of link to YouTube clips? Or would simple blogpsots with images suffice?

You reminded me of Jon Cagle's excellent and clear video instructions
on how to fold and assemble his passenger car steps. Seeing someone actually
build something is very useful, in my opinion.

Pierre:
I would prefer a video or photos because I believe it communicates best when coupled with a description. I know that at times I have had to read someone’s description more than a time or two to try and understand what the person is saying. Once I see the photo, then I understand what the person said and I wonder how I ever had trouble understanding what the person wrote.

I think the appropriate method may vary with the complexity of the task. E.G. photos might be adequate to explain how to drill ladder rails, while folding & twisting sill steps into shape might be better done with a short video. In any case, any tips you can illustrate, regardless of the medium use, would be most welcome.

In a few weeks I will sit down with my buddy, Trevor Marshall, and
crank out a couple of videos demonstrating how I work with some of
my products.
Thanks to all for the inputs.

To be purely prototypical, freight cars have sill steps, not stirrup steps. This is like the recent discussion about running boards and roof walks.
