Pythagorean Theorem a must use carpentry tool stored in brain matter! Math never lies and calculators are cheap ! Another great pro video Scott! God Bless & Thank You Brother !
Hi there! I’m remodeling a set of closed stairs built out of framing lumber and currently covered in carpet. I’m switching to a stair runner with false tread caps on each side. I’m planning to make my own caps replicating an lj smith design except with a modern square eased edge nosing. The lj smith nosing projects 1 ¼ over the tread. If I made the nosing 1 1/8” would that work ok (lumber I have on hand)? Having never done this, I’m not sure how critical this dimension is or how much it affects the finished look? Also, the rough framed stairs have a rather small 1/4'” nosing. Do I need to remove this either behind the stair runner or where the tread caps will be installed? Thanks!!
Thanks for dropping this note Paul. Where I am in Ontario 1-inch nosing is now the standard so I don't see any reason why you can't do 1-1/8". My inclination would be to remove that 1/4" nosing on the existing stairs. But I think once you get going you will know whether than is necessary or not. I'm sure it will work out great. Cheers, Scott
I see your channel is blowing up. Glad to see it Scott
Let's hope so! Thank you so much Dominic! Comments like this will certainly help. 🙏 Cheers, Scott

Looks like u might need a new saw blade by the time you're finished. Great information.
Yes I'd say so. Festool blades are not cheap either. Thanks for commenting. Cheers, Scott
