Very nicely done...  the beautiful Woodworking is that there are many paths to a successful result.

Hi Todd --

I built my helix using the same approach you suggested, 1/2" Baltic birch sections with 1/4" Baltic birch splice plates.  Despite my rudimentary carpentry skills, the resulting helix is very sturdy and was relatively easy to build.  For simplicity, I used blocks to separate the levels -- getting a consistent grade takes a little fussing on the first turn, but after that the blocks are all the same height.  Like everyone, I'd prefer not to have a helix, but it works fine.  Mine is built over stacked return loops so it looks more complex than it really is, but if I can do it, anyone can!
