    4 minute mark, it’s called a Trapezoid. Thanks for the content Shannon, I love your channel.

    ha, this would have helped me some when just finishing a floor tread project. Although luckily my walls were quite parallel so i didnt have many issues just taking measurements. in the bad spots just used glue and shavings.

    Great jig Shannon…although I don’t have any stair projects on the horizon I can see where a similar setup would be useful setting up floating shelves inside an enclosed space such as a former closet or three sided nook. For multiple shelves I believe this would save time and eliminate the need to scribe.

    Love your approach to building things and showing others. You are a skilled tradesman and communicate things well. Cracked me up when you were talking about the trapezoid end piece when you said something like "a lot of you are smarter than me" - well smart vs. wisdom are to different things. I'm neither. Lots of smart people in the world that aren't wise at all. ;) Thanks again for the quick video and tips to building. Off to make my jig based on your model.

    @Maxid1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is this to just make sure if there are any minor weird angles or size variances that the parts are cut accurately? I'd normally just cut them all the same size and install them. But then I've never put manufactured flooring on a stair tread or riser.

    • @HouseImprovements
      @HouseImprovements  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes this will give you any slight angles that you have and the total length right into the corners.

    Hi I have been watching your videos for a while - they walked me thru my entire basement reno :) so thank you very much ...Now I've ripped the carpet off my stairs and im struggling to get the treads cut correctly. The stairs are curved and the steps are all pie-shaped.. the wall is to the left and open on the right ...any ideas on how I can match the tread to curve against the wall.

    I like the jig design. Helps with any deflection when doing a retrofit. I build new stairs all day every day in the NE of the USA and I am actually helping a neighbor do a retrofit which is out of my norm soon. May very well make thing jig you have shown. Paten that before rockler gets ahold of it... if they haven't already

      exactly, and if your stairs are completely straight and square then that would work, most stairs are not and this jig compensates for that . We will have our next video release showing how this jig is used.
