So nice to see a YT video with metric measurements

Hi Scott. I am a fellow carpenter as well as a subscriber. I noticed that you didn't explain that the top and bottom stair rise heights need to be different in your situation when measuring from finished surfaces. I'm sure you accounted for that but I wanted to explain for anyone else watching that intends to build their own stairs. I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work! In the video Scott is measuring from a finished floor to a finished floor. If all of the risers get framed at the same height while measuring from those surfaces then the top and bottom step will be different after decking is added. The bottom step will be taller by the thickness of the decking and the top step will be shorter by the thickness of the decking. The reason for this is that the existing upper and lower decks act as a tread but they don't get any additional decking added to them. I wish I could add a drawing but hopefully this makes sense. Scott most likely pulled his measurements from the existing deck framing (not the finished surfaces) when installing the stair framing. I hope this information helps someone. Have a great day!

Whoop whoop!!! 25k subs! You’re killin it Scott B! Keep it up

I look forward to this show. Keep up the stellar work!

Nice job Scott I like the way you conduct your self .you have subtlety humour and down to earth and you explain things clear .and your mate is quite funny too keep it up Scott cheers.And your a hard worker .old jimmy West aust

As a someone who is in a trade school right now this is a helpful preview to it, thank you.

Love your work, your definitely one of the best! One suggestion, 🙈 though I know it’s an extra step, mix the dry cement/concrete with your H2O before pouring... it never gets the proper setup when the powder and water are poured separately. 😊👌 Awesome video, cheers!

A hearty HELLO from Sweden, Scott! Loving your vids bud and you're and inspiration to me when it comes to getting off my arse and become a carpenter myself. Also, loving the accent - At first when I started watching your videos, I thought the cooking segments were called "Cooking with Piedough". It took me a good couple of weeks to realize.. lmao - Sorry! Paerau, man, you seem like the chillest badass bro. Keep rockin' /Gustaf the viking

You sure do awesome work Scott Brown! Love learning tips and tricks that I can use in my daily work! Keep posting the great content please!!

Hi for Edinburgh Scotland, happy episode 101 👍🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Keep up the great vids guys

best explanation i have seen so far on stair build

Congratulations on 25 k man you earned it

25k is a good number. I know I've said this on other videos of yours but watching your videos really makes me want to be a builder aye, I'm currently a self employed flooring installer down in the wairarapa but I don't really enjoy it that much as a job the only part I don't mind is the jobs like the click together timber floors like the solid bamboo I'm currently doing.

Get yourself a Burke Bar brother! Quality content.

COnGRATULATIONS with 25K subscribers, you more than deserved it! Always fun to watch your videos, its and delight. Commenting on the couch of my mother in law, we stay there this week due to the passing of my father in law sadly. Looking forward to the finished staircase. As always, greetings from Holland

Very helpful videos mate, respect from us kiwis living in Aus

Good tunes mate. Makes my van doors rattle. Boom!

Grats on 25k subs.

You're almost 10 times the subs as I watch this. Well done

Great video mate

Good work 💪

To calculate a stair: You "Stair" at a calculator...ok, ok. Great episode, thank You. 25K, Looks like, you are havin' fun...!

Brother! you have got to get yourself some Hanger screws! they make those tight spots by posts and floor framing way easier, not that the pliers didnt work :P Great channel, love the vids.

I love seeing the P-3 fly over from Whenuapai at 5:03

Cool vidz bro! Keep up the good mahi!

Hi scott could you do video on fence capping, how you work out all the angles. Cheers.

I was wondering as to how you haul things.. How's the suspension holding up?

Hi Scott The figures that you chose for rise180 and 320 for the tread (can one choose any measurement within the code guidelines and be able to get the 1280mm measurement).

Way to be gem to mom

Thank you, it was about time someone made construction videos using the metric system like the rest of us civilized people.

Another great video Scott. I'm just starting out with building stuff and I was wondering what you reckon is the best place to go for timber? And is that Readyset concrete much the same as the Fastcrete they have at Bunnings?

The deck looks fabulous. 😎

If you ever want to come visit capetown i have some wood work that needs doing

is it ok to mix concrete in the hole? does the dirt affect the strength of the concrete in any way?

Awesome

Now 160K subscribers as of July 4th 2020! Gone up from 157K literally only about a week or two ago!

narrow space ..try long driver bit with tex screw:)

Apprentice lad here! Just put my first stair case in at a beach house up at Omaha, rate the videos it’s good to compare techniques against another kiwi chippie. Boss man also reckoned 180 is the ideal step!

You may have already addressed this in a later video, but why do you dig with a flat shovel? flat shovels are for moving around material like gravel, but are so much harder to dig with than pointed shovels. Just curious. Spent 4 or five summers digging foundations and retaining walls and one of the first things we learned was to use a pointed shovel, and better yet a demo hammer or excavator whenever you can.

I've seen those square washers in a few of your videos now - are they standard fare in NZ? They look slick & to my knowledge something like that would be an expensive special order in the US. Congrats on 25k, too. Enjoying seeing your channel grow!

Wass up mah bro

Is the job done now? Any pictures of the final job? Trying to do something similar. I've watched your stair related videos hundreds of times now lol

HI SCOTT, i follow you from Belgium. Question : What type of wood do you use in this case ? (For the structure ?) is he treated against humidity ?

What boots are those that you are wearing?

A friend of mine made an app called "Delux Stairs" on iphone and iPad to help with the stringer calculations, and the extra things you have to consider.

How wide is that last tread? Minimum width is 900 in Australia.

Gotta love mum

Scott, dry mixing is not for piles and foundation posts, it's just for fence posts. The strength and cohesion is hugely reduced.

Great calculation tho ✌️

Hi Scott. Silly question and im obviously missing something basic. You worked out 4 steps/risers but only built 3? Did you just decide 3 risers and a little higher riser height would work better?

The formula for the ideal stair is 2 × the rise +the going =600mm So the ultimate stair is 2 × 150 + 300 = 600mm or something within that formula Your stair 2 × 182 +320 = 684mm outside stair has a bit more flexibility that was the formula I was told.

hey bro i used yr numbers using construction pro app came out the exactly the same i think the important numbers are tread width and riser height i had to convert to metric then store them in recall

could you show us how to do a pergola

what was that P-3 Orion doing there?!? My dad was a pilot flying those in the Naval reserves here in the states for many years. They are just starting to decomission the fleet and switch over to a Boeing 737 based version. I'll miss the P-3s though. They are just such a COOL looking air frame with those four engines swinging four blade barn door sized propellers trailing four black exhaust trails with the long stinger out the back. It will be sad to see it go from the skies.

hey Scott, what kind of circular saw blade are you using? Does the blade bolt get stuck for you? I just broke mine and wondering if there are any tips how not to do that the next time ;-)

We're working on a house in Greenhithe right now. Get buzzed by the Orions and Hercules taking off and landing at Whenuapai all day long.

Calculating stairs is so much easier in metric. Easier to multiply/divide whole, complete numbers rather than something like 7 & 11/16 x 5.

Is that a stiletto hammer? Nice hammer what ever it is!!! ❤️ great videos dude.

can i ask why yr tread was 270 before and now its 320

Could have been beneficial to mention the nz code on max/min risers and goings so weekend warriors don't go building stuff horribly out of code 😉 Nice vid though

Hey scott are chisel important for a builder

Stainless brackets but H3 against soil? H3 timber used like that where the lawn back-fill will sit against it is a fail.

Would a ramp work there, stairs are a drinking mans enemy.

Brownie, check out block layer.com for construction calc's. Very handy!!

Still prefer joist top of post position better than against to side ,bolt will be band...

Só I'm Brazilian, learned american english, so funny to hear your accent when you say "in to the deeeeck".... lol

wow

0:53 the fact that the hiace mirror hits materials on the roof racks and prevents the door from fully opening is a flippen nightmare aye.

5:20 is that a borat reference?

Buddy? What kind of air gun is that?

Hi scott

In my country no burying the wood posts in concrete!

LOL that thumbnail for episode 100 wasn't an edit, it was actual letters!?

Time for an upgrade on the nail gun

wonder why I missed you last few videos - bloody youtube unsubscribed me!!!!!!

5:04 ac130 above *MW2

Huh never seen it mixed in the holes lol

But the last one doesn't take into account the thickness off the tread

THE OLD PC-3

Yeah....nice video. You make stairs look do easy, but there are chipplies out there, who just don't have the confidence to do do.

What hammer are you running there my bro??

so close

that would be blocklayer.com ! My blunder....

Did you see the army boys jumping from that plane?

Ps. Stay out of my recommended videos! Haha

I believe it's never good to add dry concrete mix into a hole and then spray water into it. Concrete mix is better put into a wheel barrow and mixed thoroughly with proper amount of water and using a hoe or shovel. Then you can know if your mix is right and you will have a much stronger batch. Call me old fashioned I guess.

I really like your channel, but was so disappointed when I saw rapid set!! 🤨

I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.

No cooking content again.

This guy is a fly by nighter.. any real carpenter knows this is shawty work and not building proper structure. I'm from Ontario Canada and u would not get away with that here but we almost have a 100 degree temperature change so if your structure is not correct it will heave come winter.
