Nice work, I've done stairs for over 30 years and in most cases the stringers are not square and requires a few trips to the chop saw to get a perfect fit. Also on the bottom run of Stairs I would have put a return on the left side .It gives it a better look. Remember to watch for the riser change when putting treads on top of old ones .
My wife bought me a tool this past Christmas. I looked at it and wondered why the hell she bought this weird looking tool. I literally just watched you use this same tool while building these stairs. So now I know it actually has a purpose. These videos are addicting.
Nice job! It's amazing how many framers don't know now to properly frame stairs. I trimmed a set once that was so badly done that I had to add 2 1/4 inch blocks to the top step of the stringers and then add blocks reduced by 1/4 inch increments for each step down!
Step 1 I've enlisted the help from my son to help pull up the carpet. We are not handy at all but that's all I want for Christmas. And, do it while my husband's at work. Maybe in another 14 years my stairs will look as good as yours. Well done.
Wish I would have watched this before doing my stairs... The 2 x 6's in between the runners of the steps is a great idea... more surface area for the adhesive. I have one step about a year later that has popped loose and wiggles, and now I am trying to figure a way to fix it without damaging all the finish work on the tread. Nice video!
Boy is your wife lucky! that was a great video. Very easy to follow steps. I'm re-doing my dad's 1908 house and i needed something that I could follow easily being that I'm doing the work myself. Thanks
I'm wondering if this was all done in one trip to the customer's house. I'm so slow, it would take me two days, This guy is amazing. Wish I had a mentor like him.
Thx for the vid. I'm replacing carpet in our stairs as well. I had a good chuckle when you were filming your first cut without safety glasses or guards on the saw because that's what I always do, then remember half way through. Great vid, thx again.
Nicely done! The painted mdf board really set it off! I am no where near your level of carpentry, but when I was putting up crown molding and pulled out the angle gauge/finder, everyone asked me what it was! :) You should do a video on that tool, I think it would help a TON of people out there, considering there hasn't been a house built, ever, with 90 degree angles....ever :) Keep the great videos coming!
Thanks for the complements. You are for sure right about no 90 degree angles ever. This was a 1940s house and i'm sure when they were putting in the stairs to the basement they weren't to concerned about angles or keeping things uniform. Now days most new homes have stairs made in a factory.
TheTexasCoder hehehe I got excited about that tool too! I've never seen one before. Wow how easy that made cutting the angles for the stairs. Great job!!!
Holy sh** that is FANTASTIC work you do!! You made that look so easy!! I have my main stairs to do and it’s been keeping me up at night thinking and re thinking and over thinking how am I going to do this. Measure measure and more measuring. Your work is seriously second to none and you don’t look stressed at all while measuring and cutting. Of course you do this for a living but damn, some dudes are simply naturally qualified to perform just about any carpentry task, well I’m not one of them 😂. Excellent videos you share here.
I love the look. 80% of people I talk to about the idea of wood stairs say they worry about falling on them especially little kids. I have two kids. I feel they can handle it. Lol.
I think I'm in love. I looked at a lot of videos, none were as easy to watch, very easy to understand! But.... I obviously need more tools. Maybe I'll get a table saw from my husband for my birthday. lol
Oops! I don't think my brother logged off my computer. This should have been sent from my youtube page. Not sure that he when he sees it, he will think it as funny as me. Again, great video
Just sitting on my stairs with a carpet and thinking does it possible to switch it to the wood or vinyl, and......see your video. Sounds like I'm on the right way:) Thank you. Would be nice if you explained what did you use for that. My best wishes to you. Great job.
If you don't me asking. How much did all of this run the home owner? We have carpeted stairs and would like to convert them wood. Thanks and nice work!
@Nathan, What's your freaking problem. These steps are absolutely gorgeous. You're showing nothing but pure jealousy. Where are your videos and how many subscribers do you have. I wouldn't hire you to put in a toilet with the negative attitude you have towards other people's success.
Very nice work. I was particularly impressed with the railing. I am curious, wouldn’t it have been easier to poly the stair treads outside, the same way you painted the rises?
They turned out nice, however I am a bit confused. I see you started building on top of treads and risers, but then ripped it up. My concept w/carpeted stairs was to trim the pine boards nose off, and then put something like window sill boards for the bull nose (something that looks like you do). I "thought" the treads on top would make up for carpet and pad...so I am confused. Thanks!
Great knowledge and skill on display. However, without narration with insight, the video is almost useless to many. Add a narration track to explain what you are doing and why at each step and this video would be a real winner.
I usually cut the bullnose of steps flush with the kick plate and put them on over the steps add a nice molding under the step and usually do hardwood on floor too so everything is 3/4 of inch higher so it’s all the same height as before but everyone has their own ways of doing things this way was pretty cool also .... good job brother
Super job on the stairs. It looked like it would be very difficult/impossible to bring a sofa down those stairs now. Was there another way in where that was not a issue.
The stairs turned out very nice, well done. Have you heard of Ron Paulk? He has a few different mobile work benches/stations. One of them may be an advantage to you. I look forward to seeing more from you.
Yes I sub to his channel. His next trailer build is supposed to be a 6x12 v-nose. I hope he does the build. I need more ideas on how to organize mine. Thanks for the comment.

My favorite part was the tap dancing. Good work!

I remember this one! Awwwwwww. Memories of me first watching your videos.
Nice work. Every time I watch one of your videos - I pick up handy tips. Thanks!
That's great to hear.
Brian Thornton k
Sweet editing! It made it easy to watch.
Thanks. I try to make it move along quickly.
It certainly does!
I loved your 'stair tread tap dance' to set the glue and check sturdiness!
Beautiful! You make your country proud.

Here is the digital angle finder I use on stairs. amzn.to/2G8N0FC
I need to pay you to remodel my entire house here in Virginia. lol Great work! Love your channel!
Ditto, here in Texas!!!
Thx for the vid. I'm replacing carpet in our stairs as well. I had a good chuckle when you were filming your first cut without safety glasses or guards on the saw because that's what I always do, then remember half way through. Great vid, thx again.
Thanks for watching. I'm really trying to step up my safety. My new Dewalt table saw has some guards that are easy to use and don't get in the way.
The Handyman oh, I wasn't implying you need to do something about safety, I was just happy to see someone else like me! Cheers!
I wasn't. It's hard to get points across with only text.
is it some new model?
i have a dewalt table saw and i find the guards still get in the way
I have a new dewalt and love it compared to the old Hitichi I was using in this video.
Beautiful job,thanks for posting. This video gave me some useful tips.

@@TheHandyman1 Right, is there a way to replace tread on the prefabricated stairs? Seems like a nightmare or completely impossible.

Watching you feed the wood through the table saw without a push guide gave me serious anxiety in case you lost a hand 👀😳
My new house has carpeted stairs...I can't let that ride. Good work here.
DID NOBODY REALLY NOTICE YOU KISSING THE RAILING AT 8:57??? THAT’s the passion that shows😂😂
It looks like I kissed it. I had to slow it down and watch it. I was just going in for a closer look at the level.
The Handyman I just thought it was wonderful that i’m not the only one who kisses my work... so i’ll believe what i wanna believe!😂
This guy makes it look so easy. Great job!!
No kidding... he's fun to watch.
Excellent illustration, thank you.
Beautifully and efficiently done brother
No, you are not a handyman, you are a professional!
Much respect for your range of skills and making it all look easy. Also them happy feet :)
I hate carpet on stairs, and this just shows how much more beautiful wood can make it
Until you have children and they slip all the way to the bottom. Fortunately, this looks like a rather short staircase.
LOVE IT!! Excellent video!! Tap dance effect was GREAT!!
I watched it again. A little closer to 1 million now😁. Have a great day Sir!
This is a perfect example of something looking easy but is otherworldly hard to do. The handyman makes a tough remodel look like child’s play.
seriously I couldnt' believe how fast he made them.
The toe tapping was greatest part and when u were kicking boards off basement stairs lol
I like the part when the man keeps kicking the tread. That was the best man tool ever😂😂😂
Dude I need to watch more cuz I’m tryna rebuild my whole damn house 😂
That adhesive is the best!
I love the look. 80% of people I talk to about the idea of wood stairs say they worry about falling on them especially little kids. I have two kids. I feel they can handle it. Lol.
Great job. It came out perfectly.
thanks
Beautiful work on these stairs.
Thank you.

Wow! You did an awesome job! Love the changed look of the stairs!
This was a perfect video. I was going to cut each steps bull nose off, but this just saved me a ton of work. THANK YOU!!!
you are welcome.
Yeah... saw a video where they cut the steps. I like this idea better.
If you don't me asking. How much did all of this run the home owner? We have carpeted stairs and would like to convert them wood. Thanks and nice work!
He wrote in a comment,
" This was only $3500 took 2 and a half days. Short days. Had around $700 in materials."
$3500 for this hack job, what a joke
@@nathan9032 LOL you just hating
@Nathan, What's your freaking problem. These steps are absolutely gorgeous. You're showing nothing but pure jealousy. Where are your videos and how many subscribers do you have. I wouldn't hire you to put in a toilet with the negative attitude you have towards other people's success.
Great job! Looks awesome!
Good job dude. Stairs are difficult.
Another amazing job. Very nice
Time to 'step up' and get this done too! The wifes been at me for ages!
Beautiful work! And now I see how it's done.
Thanks G.
Wow! Impressive sir!! Great job! Its beautiful!
Absolutely amazing!
Excellent job. I love your videos
Damn. Nice work! 👍🏻
Awesome..I'm about to work on my stairs. Thanks for the tutorial.
Nice job, but I'm dying to know how you got out of the basement when you top coated the treads. ;) Could you have pre-finished them before installing?
Nice free-cut on the table saw. That takes a little practice.
Beautiful job! Wow did your channel just grow exponentially?? Welll done!
Bravissimo 👏 Bel lavoro 👍👍👍
Very nice work. I was particularly impressed with the railing. I am curious, wouldn’t it have been easier to poly the stair treads outside, the same way you painted the rises?
The Handymam- Great work and geat videos. You install the treads right up to the skirt. Do you ever leave any gaps for expansion?
Love the look of the clean, shiny hardwood stairs. We carpeted ours because they were just too slippery.
We added a runner to ours to atleast keep the hardwood look and a runner can be easily replaced.
Stairs looked amazing
Such a cool entryway into a house.
Question where did you learn to do all this? ...from watching your videos you have a wide knowledge and know how..
Nice work!
You got some amazing skills buddy.
Thanks
Nice work, which stain did you use on treads.
Wonderful work!
Great improvement. Beautiful work
Nice detailed work. If I may ask, whether this job was for a customer or not, how much do you charge to do this work in total?
Wow looks awesome and love the skill.
Thank you.
Damn fine work Mr. Handyman!
Thanks.
Nice Job Buddy👌
Nice - now I am inspired to do my stairs, just got to finish the hardwood flooring first!
Really Fantastic job!
Looks great!
Nice work 👍
It looks absolutley amazing! You have a gift!
also years of hard work, learning, mistakes, never giving up, but yeah a gift too. /s

Really great job
Nice job, but you should really consider using push sticks and fitting a riving knife to your table saw. It would make your cutting a whole lot safer.
love the dance on the steps :) looks lovely x
He makes it look so easy.
Did those treads have a relief cut in them ?
Did you use a piece of hardboard for the risers?
Beautiful.
Most staircases come with hand rails.
Perfect video for me because this exact project is on my to do list!
Dang, you should be proud of your work.
I'll all about the easy & inexpensive way to home beautification!
Great job and result!!
Very informative video. Thanks.
Nice trail running shoes. I have those exact ones!!! 😂 Great video, by the way.
Super job on the stairs. It looked like it would be very difficult/impossible to bring a sofa down those stairs now. Was there another way in where that was not a issue.
Great video, I wish I could have learned the profession.
This video is right on time. I'm getting ready to redo my stairs and this breaks it down nicely - thanks!
The stairs turned out very nice, well done. Have you heard of Ron Paulk? He has a few different mobile work benches/stations. One of them may be an advantage to you. I look forward to seeing more from you.
