New method for building routed-stringer stairs: Step-by-step including template build
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2024
- A how-to video on building housed-stringer stairs from plywood components that can serve as construction stairs and then finished with 1-inch hardwood treads and 1/4-inch plywood risers at the end of the build. These stairs are glued, screwed and wedged together to create a long-lasting, solid stair case. The video includes instruction on how to build a simple but effective stair template.

Great modern take on classic stairs. This is a great system. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Scott
Very much enjoying your channel! I hope you enjoy doing it as much as we do watching and learning.
Thank you for the nice comment Jay. I enjoy making the videos. Positive feedback like this keeps me going!
As always great video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much. You’re welcome. My pleasure.
Thanks!
Thank you so much David!
Really good video. The details are top notch. This video should have more likes and views and you should have more subscribers!

Thank you for your encouragement Ron! I really appreciate it. I trust that the channel will catch on at some point. Cheers!
great video thank you very much, I'm thinking of self-building a stair which will covered with fire-rated gypsum-fibre board ( e.g. fermacell ) to give a 30 minute fire-rating. I was imagining a consruction method like this with the underside closed panelled and finish treads attached later, so this is a massive help to work out my ideas.
I'm glad it was helpful John. That's my goal. I'm sure it will turn out awesome. Let me know how it goes.
Great work son!
Thanks Dad!
I need these built for my house
Thank you for commenting. Scott
Scott have you ever used a jig called “Dutch Pants”? If so can you do a video going into the detail of it? Spencer Lewis “ Inside Carpentry “ recent video uses the jig however not much detail about it? God bless u & urs Scott!
Yes I have one I made in my toolbox. I use it occasionally. Basically for transferring lines from one side of the stringer to another. May do I video if and when I use one again.
What is the widest you can go with this design without adding a central stringer for support?
Great question. I've built stairs using this design as wide as 48" and they were bomb-proof. I imagine if you went with 1-inch plywood treads and risers you could go even wider. I am not sure if the code where I am has a limit on width without a mid-support, but I'm checking into that. Cheers, Scott
The code in Ontario says that housed stairs with treads fully supported by the risers can span 1200mm (47.25") in a dwelling house. Commercial stairs of this type can only span 900mm. Not sure where you are situated but those are the rules here. As I mentioned the stairs I built for a 48" opening were rock solid with that technique. Cheers, Scott
@@scottearlsmithFTC I’m definitely stealing your design idea… this is genius… I never thought about using plywood for stringers…
A little thing I do when stringers are against a wall, I router a 1/2”x1/2” rabbit on top the full length for sheetrock 😁… Thanks subscribed 👍
@@hmtrimworks7148 Great idea on the rabbet. Glad this is helpful. Plywood stringers are really the way to go. I did a set of stairs with solid birch stringers that were not dry enough and it was a nightmare. With plywood you take the warpage issue right out of the picture. Thanks for taking an interest in the channel! Scott
Scott buddy still waiting for those Pants? Wore mine out ? Not Dutch pants mine Truewerk ! But I need those Dutch ones! You Canadians are slow! ( Ha ! Joking u know) !
You mean Duluth Trading Post. Mine are on the way. Cheers, Scott
@@scottearlsmithFTC oh that’s good!

@@scottearlsmithFTC Scott just giving you a good ribbing ! I enjoy all your videos and often go back on them! Soon a lot ? I think here in the future I hv to redo my stairs , take out the carpet , new ply , and treads/risers!
1st I hv a couple jobs to do then maybe tackle it !
Anyway you’re a great help brother God Bless !
Thank you for sharing your knowledge :) I am deciding what technology to use, with shims or like in this video th-cam.com/video/nXlSry47Duk/w-d-xo.html . what are you thoughts about it ? for me it looks like it is more tedious to do like in the link, but somehow I feel that the threads get more support that way than with shims, because shims does not cover 100% of thread for support ... I think your approach is very practical for long term or heavy use of stairs though, but I am planning to build closed stairs with 3 meters (~10feet) strings and thread depth will be 305mm (12inches) so i don't want to make extremely heavy stairs (material thickness will be 40mm ash for stringers, 40mm pine for threads and 18mm pine for risers) so I am trying to decide what way to go :)
Paulius, My preference would be to use shims. You can make longer shims for your treads than your risers. I've watched this Japenese carpenter before. He's very talented. And he's using beautiful material. In fact I've never seen pine that nice where I live. You'll get more shrinkage and movement with solid lumber than plywood for sure. Interesting that I'm building an open-riser, solid birch stair case right now. I will have the video out as soon as it's done. Thanks for commenting and sending the link. Scott
Literally more than twice the work for no reason.
Many home builders will install temporary construction stairs until the end of the build. Then they disassemble the construction stairs and install the finished stairs at the end. This method eliminates that waste of time and material in building temporary stairs, so in my opinion it is not twice the work. But I respect your opinion. Thank you for commenting.
