Love it! It's the basic term of a fine cabinetmaker, mark don't measure. No tape measures, no angle finders, no math. Just a pencil and any straightedge to get a straight line between two points. I was formerly "stuck" on calculating halving the 38degree slope, cutting two miters of 19degrees and wondering why it did not work right.
I've been thinking about a handrail for some time but it didn't occur to me to use the actual stairs as a physical guide. This video has made my life a lot easier.
Im still struggling to get my angles correct. Ive spent so much time with this i feel like complete idiot. Can i email you a picture of what im trying to do? Im ising a peice of 1x2 for my stairs to cover the gap between the wall and actual stairs. Thanks and love the video!
Can the wall stingers be installed before the risers? Re building the 6 steps leading down to family room. The stingers were installed after the risers, originally, then the oak treads. There is enough room to just install the stringers w/o cutting to fit the risers if the risers are, again, installed 1st. Make sense?
@@stairbuilding House built in '63. 'Something strange' is about what I'm having to deal with. Limited space to work in, also. I carefully measured the risers to fit very well After installing wall stringers. Worked out well. Knowing I could install stringers 1st, if needed, helped.
Best and simplest video I’ve seen in a while. No nonsense, just straight at it 👍🏻
Thanks for simplifying this !

Most stringers are installed first, unless you're dealing with something strange. Email me a picture if this didn't answer your question.

Can you do a video explaining how to do skirting on an open staircase? And how to finish the edge in contact with the riser?
Email me a picture of your stairway.
