www.homebuildingandrepairs.co... Click on link to learn more about stair building, home repairs and plenty of other construction projects around your house. In this video I will provide do it yourselfer's with another way to layout stair stringers. Sometimes it's difficult to learn how to use a framing square, even though it might be faster and more accurate, but it's good to have other options.

Thanks stair builders in your vlog about how to cut them off at the house stairs . thank you a lot I' ve learn how to do it with your vlog.

This video was SO HELPFUL to me! Your use of graphics and no nonsense discussion make it so clear. I am rebuilding our stairs this week. I have done a lot of framing, but never stairs. Now and I feel much better prepared. Thank you.

My deck stringers needed to come down onto a slightly sloping downward concrete sidewalk. This method is the only way to cut the bottom of the stringer so that it conforms to that slight slope and, at the same time, keeps all the stairs at a 180-degree angle. Once I had that, following all the steps presented here worked perfectly!! Thank you so much for this approach.

It's not the only way. Not many things in building have just one way to do it. Off the top of my head you could measure to a lasered line where your stringers end at the concrete. Find the difference in height of the concrete relative to your centre line (if this is where you took your initial overall rise from) at the lowest point of where your stringers will end. Let's say that the difference is extreme, say 50mm. Now, prop in their position, all stringers 50mm higher than where they will finally rest and cut a 50mm thick block. Using that block and a pencil, scribe the bottom riser of all stringers around the entirety of it's perimeter. Cut and place all the stringers at their true heights. This way ensures you have a near perfect replication of the contours of the concrete in both directions. This, essentially, is the offset method, which a lot of finish carpenters and cabinet installers use.

This is amazing stuff. I have no ideal what he talking about. But I get the gist of it. Got to replace step and foundation of stringers. Who ever built the deck used untreated redwood. And it has just rotted to all hell. Was hoping to use it the old one as a pattern. Only 5 steps from top deck to bottom deck. But your video gives me hope. And people wonder why they need to learn math.

I can see that you’re trying to simplify it, but IMO that would overwhelm anyone attempting it for their first time.. There’s always another way to skin a cat, but they should understand how to use a framing square to layout..

Why did you need the first plumb line?

@richardowen2087 7 ай бұрын

I was taught, and I find it easier to understand, that riser measurements are made by knowing the FINISH to Finish distance. That takes any potential finish-floor thickness difference out of the equation. Also, from the illustration, you are decreasing the effective stringer width (looks like maybe 3/8") by measuring from the BOTTOM of the stock and not the Top of the stock. No?

@felipejose9909 Жыл бұрын

This is a very thought out explanation. But for me I would stick with the traditional method of figuring out the rise and run and using a framing square. Which I believe you have a video about that. Thanks again your videos are helpful God Bless

doesnt the riser sit in top of the tread

@strongrelaxed9202 Жыл бұрын

Why install risers first? Seems more sound to do the treads first, get more bit on the stringer, then fasten the riser. Good video either way

@Jamescityboygardening Жыл бұрын

As and former ironworker. I am now learning carpentry. So you allow for the deduction of 3/4 in only on the first riser and run outside of that it's 7-1/2 in rise. Your a good teacher.

@lkp715 11 ай бұрын

I don't understand why you made the bottom step shorter than the others. The treads remain the same thickness so won't the bottom step be a weird height now? If the height from the ground level to the top of the bottom step is 6.75" + 0.75" for the tread, that makes it 7.5". But if the next riser is 7.5" already, then adding the tread to it will make it 8.25", which is 0.75" taller than the bottom step. What am I missing? Don't we want all steps to be the same height?
