- Step by step how-to video on scribing skirt boards into a marble stairway with steel tread nosing. This method works on any stairway!! Anyone can do this. No tape measure necessary! Practice with a scrap piece first that covers a few steps to get the hang of it. After you see how well the scrap piece fits, you will be extremely confident in scribing the real piece!

watched this video as I had never done stair skirting before came out near perfect my boss was blown away. so cheers man
This guy is the best carpenter I know!!!
You are the best my brother 👍🏻👌🏻🤛🏻💪🏻
Outstanding video!! The steps worked exactly as described.
I had to turn off the sound, not down, off. I've heard cat fights with a more pleasing sound.
Did the tutorial help you?
i can verify that this indeed worked great,
for god's aake...change the music.
George Doherty yes. it is rather obnoxious. I'll keep that in mind for future videos. thanks for the feedback :)
@@danhall5253 2 years later, it's STILL OBNOXIOUS.
lmo1131 thanks :)
Something quiet so I could concentrate, would be nice!
Thanks, it's very helpful!
thanks for posting will be trying this at the weekend, will hopefully earn me a few quid
I for one love the music, great vid bud!
Who gives a crap about the music! the content is super helpful and concise; thank you man!
concise? how the heck do you measure out a slight angle, which direction and why?
I really enjoyed the content and learned a great deal. On a side note, the music was less like cats fighting and more like a locomotive braking inside of my ear while I was trying to focus on the video. In summary, less like injured cats in mortal combat, and more like tons of hot screeching metal crashing into my eardrums.
I learned better from this then any other video thus far
Thank you and very useful!
top of the class thanks for that Dan
Been searching for a clear video detailing the install of a stair skirt and this is the best yet. Had to mute the audio though. Music is dreadful
Thanks for the video. I had to watch it a few times to fully understand... now I'm ready to tackle my project (music is kind of catchy)!
Thank you for sharing. About once a year I have to do one of these and always forget the process😂
What bit do you use on your jigsaw to ensure a clean cut?
Just wanted to share how I solved the doorway issue in my other post. I used a 10 inch wide strip of 3/8 plywood as a template and attached it to the wall resting on the noses of the treads as in your method, except the lower end rested on the next to last stair nose instead of the last. With the top and bottom of the template marked with masking tape, I then scribed the tread lines per your instructions, then removed the template and cut the lowest scribed line, then slid the template down one full tread depth (11 3/4 in) and reattached it to the wall using the masking tape reference lines. I then scribed the risers per your method, then removed and cut the remaining scribed marks on the template.
I checked the fit and it was perfect. I then laid the template on the skirt board and marked the cut lines, then slid it down one tread to mark the missing tread line. I cut the skirt board and checked the fit to make sure no adjustments (trimming) were needed, then attached it using narrow crown staples.
Thanks for sharing your method.
I'm glad you solved the issue! Sorry I missed your last comment yesterday. Yes there is another method you can use when walls het in the way of sliding the template. Its more tedious but you can get beautiful results. I'll send it to you shortly. Its an old ship building trick that uses a stick with an irregular shape with a point on it. And you can make a map of an irregular object on a piece of stiff paper like ramboard or cardboard and then transfer that to the finished piece. I might make a video demonstrating hiw to do it on stairs someday.
th-cam.com/video/Cd2LY857oTY/w-d-xo.html here is the link. This trick can be used for skirt boards.
Thanks for following up with your comment Dirk. I have the same issue except at the top of my steps. I’ll have to try what you mentioned and let you know how I make out. Thanks again
Got it done. Thanks again.
How much would you charge for stairway similar to this?including material.
When you cut bottom angle does it not throw the tread marks off ?
But the measurement of riser on below us going on top vice versa with step
I have a doorway at the bottom of the staircase with only about six inches of clearance between the threshold and the riser on the bottom step. Clearly I am unable to use the scribe and slide technique you detailed. You mentioned in one reply that you have alternate methods. Could you help me out with this? My prior efforts resulted in a lot of wasted time with a very poor fit.
I tried using a framing square and a Speed Square in combination to transcribe the tread and riser surfaces onto the skirt board. Clumsy and did not result in a good fit. Perhaps a way to build a template??
Thank you
My hero!
Thank you 👷🙏
ya thanks for the video
@Dan Hall Why do you set the scribe to the bottom tread height and run with it for the rest of them? Bc isn’t the bottom tread 3/4 less or something. Or do you reset the scribe for every other tread ? Thanks
Assuming the finished floor is installed at the landing of the stairway, all steps should be relatively the same. If you have a weird scenario where the bottom step us significantly shorter than the rest, then mark your scribe on step 2. Dont reset the scribe. The scribe represents the distance that your skirt board will melt into the stairway. If you reset the scribe for every step, you will have bad results. Try it if you need confirmation lol.
Who else came here just for the sound track (it’s awesome)
I might have actually watched this video, except for the NOISE.
TomKaren94 I will try to remove the audio for you. sorry about that.
Would this work with steps that have a nose
hi,great video. exactly the info I was searching for. quick question_ I see how you marked out and scratched the riser and tread. but what happens if each step isn't uniform. if that is the case should I use a different strip of wood with the pin for each step? Cheers Dan
Daniel O'Connell if the steps are really out of whack (concrete steps for example) take the stick and mark every step on the stick. there will be several lines on the stick now. Drill on the line that represents the longest tread/ riser. In other words, the mark on the stick furthest away from the end that is touching each step. This one mark will work for the full section of steps. Imagine a piece of wood melting into the stairs, and the mark on the stick represents how far the piece of wood will "melt". The wood has to "melt" into the stairs at one equal measurement from top to bottom (the mark on the stick being the one equal measurement). That's kind of how I wrap my head around the concept.
A simpler way would be to just cut a piece of wood the same size as your riser or just a bit bigger. Lay it on the tread and mark the top of it. Do that for all treads. It will copy any variations in the treads.
@@duaynenaugle4186 hey so i tried following the videos but when i made the bottom cut and slided wood down none of my Marks line up with the treads , keep in mind all my steps are different height , not sure what to do now and also for the top riser ontop of stair case what height do you mark it based on
ToffiTube this video goes about it differently than I would. I place the skirt board in the same manner. Tack it to the wall , measure the highest rise and cut a piece of plywood the same size and place it on each tread and transfer the marks to the skirt board. Not just the top and bottom , all of them. Now pick up your level and plum up each riser, cut and slide into place. Your treads should be all good. If your rise is out some just take a small block equal to the size of the largest gap and mark each riser with the same block , cut all and you should have a good fit.
Hard to focus on how to do it with the music so distracting.
I have an aok staircase with no skirt board. The treads are bullnosed and this makes for a difficult skirt conversion. I don't want to wallpaper against the risers and treads, but this project seems impossible because of the bullnose risers.
LostInMySpace in step 13 I used a piece of nosing for tracing. Since you don’t have that you will have to cut out a template that matches the shape of your nosing. It might take a few tries but try to cut the shape of your nosing into a piece of 1/4” plywood. Eventually you will get the exact shape of your nosing and then use that to trace your nosing on each step. I hope this helps.
Can this be done with a doorway at the top of the stairs? I have door trim above the top step. Can I extend the board in the doorway or does it need to be flat against the wall
Beth S a doorway at the top of the stairs is a problem for this technique. You would have to probably use a different method for this situation. Sorry for the late response. I just saw your message. If you still need help let me know
I myself would add a plynthe block at the bottom of both sides of said doorway, to give a nice flat surface for the skirt to die into.... Just a thought... 👍
Is that a 12 inch wide board? New at this, but that seems to be a popular width. Sound not an issue when I lower the volume. Thx for tutorial.
Youre welcome👍 Yes that was a 12" board
Luckily, I had turned the mute on before viewing. :) Question, What would the dimensions of your skirt board be to best blend into 3 1/2" baseboards?
Aww you muted it?! You don't know what you're missing!🤣🤣
I think it comes down to personal preference. The average skirt board size is usually around 10" - 12". 3 1/2" is pretty short for baseboard so i would go for 10" skirt board. It should blend nicely.
@@danhall5253 Thank you. Appreciate the quick response.
Brilllllllllliant tk u
I like the music! Awesome
Unfortunately, the treads in the stairwell we're looking to do this in protrude a bit past the riser AND they're rounded. Makes the project much more challenging (which is why we've delayed it for so long).
Chrissy Robbins that’s okay you can still do it. The treads protruded past the risers in the video as well. The name of the rounded part that sticks out is called the bullnose. When you’re marking the risers with the stick, once you reach the bullnose just put the stick against the face of each bullnose and make a small mark. The small mark will protrude past the mark of the riser. This is explained in step 12. Now you need to make a custom cutout of the bullnose with a scrap piece of wood that wraps around the bullnose since you don’t have a scrap piece of bullnosing. Just keep cutting a piece to fit around the bullnose with a jig saw until it wraps around perfectly. You can now use this piece to trace the bullnosing. I hope this helps.
Very much so thanks!
That's great, but what about going around the bullnose?
B P I answered this question in the comments already. If you need further info let me know
I'm not seeing it in the comments, but upon review Step 13 seems to have covered it - I didn't catch that the first time through.
I’m working with steps that vary in height. Most of the risers are equal in height except the top, bottom and one midway. Thanks for the tutorial
Youre welcome. This method works well for varied heights.
Ok, so I adjust the pin for each tread if tread heights vary?
@@windowswashbasin no. never adjust the pin.
@@windowswashbasin use the same pin location for all steps. A good way to think about this is to imagine the board melting into the steps. The mark you make with the pin represents how far the board will "melt" into the steps.
@@windowswashbasin using the same pin location on every step is crucial for this to work
The music man
How high do I mark the top riser because all my steps are different dimensions
ToffiTube all step dimensions are usually different. No stairway is perfect. The steps in this video were all different by a little bit. Find the biggest dimension throughout all of your steps and use that one dimension to scribe all of the steps. This method reminds of melting the skirt into the contour of the steps. If you need more help I could give you my email and you could send me a picture of your stairs so I can get a better idea
Dan could I get your help one I got. It’s a funky one and it’s been 9 months of hell on my dads house. It’s my first one?
@@danhall5253 hey I figured it out thank you
Damon Bonnett sure how can I help?
Hi Dan, did you use 1x10 or a 1x12?
I ask because my steps are not even and have not been able to get good results. I have been using cardboard templates and always have gaps between the 3 and 6th steps. (6 step in total). House was previously renovated by previous owner and there is a 1 1/2 difference in rise between the bottom and top steps. Thanks in advance.
I used a 1x10 here in this video. You will probably be fine with a 1x10
If the steps are 1 1/2” difference then you need to mark the deepest riser on the stick and use that as your scribe mark. Same goes for the treads. The finished product will be very nice.
Thanks for the reply!! i will try that
Thanks for sharing, good lesson. but bloody hell... could you have possibly chosen a more annoying sound track??? Yikes!
Wow, didn't know so many Justin Bieber fans watched videos like this.
Good video, helps a lot!! The music wasn’t needed though
Bluegill20 thanks ya I can’t take out the music without deleting the video unfortunately.
Excellent instruction video!! Thanks!! But.. Yeah... lose the horrible sound track.
Could you have possibly have chosen a more abnoxious sound track???
Great demo but please keep your personal choice in music on your iPod.
Text is too fast and music is noisy.
Would have been a great video didn’t get to finish I killed my self the soundtrack that kills.
Not a skirting board, that is a stringer!
Nice - but that music is utterly annoying.
i couldn't even concentrate on the instructions. That music is just awful
The music is annoying!
what a waste of time ...and that nail scratch and that tiny thin piece or wood is a balls ...simply use you adjustable sq with a pencil is way better ..especially when all risers are different height...
Fucking music!
Great tip....instruction.
Thanks for posting.....
Awful music !
smacurface thanks alot. I appreciate the feedback. :)
Dan Hall Super fast reply. I just walked to the workshop and you already replied.
Speedy Gonzalez
smacurface instant notification to phone. if you have any questions message me any time
