FINALLY!! A video on this stuff from a guy that’s not up on himself trying to sound like a real smart guy considering the professional and the DIY’er I will use this as my guide. Awesome explanation and didn’t take two hours telling us why we need steps and how steps can improve our lives, straight to the point hitting every angle, wow you have one a subscriber.

This dude is my hero! I watched about 6 million youtube videos yesterday trying to figure this out and this guy explains it perfectly in 5 mins. Where were you when I was in pre-calc?

I did too, searched for a couple of days

To everyone below saying that this is the best, easiest to understand video on building stringers.........I could NOT agree more. Good job!

My first attempt at stairs building, this is by far the best video to get you started, thanks a lot Wayne !!

By far the best tutorial on stairs. Simple, useful and clear. Thanks

I've looked at dozens of stair videos and this is the first one that I understand Thanks.

I've watched a lot of stringer videos, this was by far the best one. Thank you

“Now we need a square, I don’t mean your brother in law!” Priceless!

😂😂🤣🤣literally lmao. priceless

This was the only video that was simple and easy and made perfect sense. The rest of the utube videos by others ...not so much. Thanx a million

First time deck builder. Could not have built stairs without this video. Every other video I've watched is total crap. Thanks dude!

Great vid, straight to the point and learn the terms aling the way!

Best tutorial ever for stair stringers. Absolute legend.

So many videos... So much wasted time until I found yours!! Thank you so much!!! This will be the first place I look from now on!!!!!

Best stringer instruction on KZread.

Excellent video. I am an English carpenter so we don't do the amount of framing that you do in the US. We do a lot of fitting of prefabricated items such as stairs and things so it's not very often we get to fab up a stair stringer ourselves. I have done this myself when fitting decking etc and I have, in the past, always referred back to my old apprentice text books until utube came along. I worked on camp america many moons ago doing maintenance and building new cabins etc but when you are not doing something on a regular basis it's always good to do a quick refresher. I must say this is the most concise example I have seen to date. Everything you need to know in real time with no fumbling contradictions! Top notch, many thanks, Paul Bucky UK.

By far this is the most simple explanation in making stairs..tnx much sir ...from Philippines.

This is the best video I have seen on how to build a set of stringers!! Thank you so much Wayne for helping to make our stringers so easy! Really appreciated this video. Take the suggestion and use a scrap piece of plywood/cardboard and layout your stringers first!

You’re the brother in law

Finally!! An explanation I can follow. Thank you from the bottom of my math-impaired heart. :) You are an excellent instructor.

Thank You Wayne. This stringer will be the first stringer I'm building using a proffessional guide - YOU. Thank You Wayne. I built 2 others before, BEFORE I had Internet, and without proper instructions, I had to figure things out for myself, and things didn't always turn out too successful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I found it very helpful. Oh by the way, that's a really nice dog in your video. I have a Westie too. I notice they like to watch their humans at work.

My friend, you are the man! Thanks!

I've watched a lot of stringer videos and this one is by far the best, explanation, tips and overall sense of "hey, this is something I can do". thanks

Wayne, I have put off building a deck for 3 years because I didn't know how to do the stringer. I finally built one yesterday and was just going to buy prefab stringers. Then I realized that it would be a lame way to go because one of the stairs would be different. So I watched this video and I just got done making my stringers. They turned out great. I used my square with clamps like you showed. Thanks!!!

I was mentally challenged at this due to tbi's I've had. So I went to the store bought a stringer that met code and some stock lumber that would meet code and traced the stringer that met my rise and tread. I poured a platform to have a solid base and bolted a cross bar at the base and knotched my stringer bottom to catch that bottom bar to prevent hopefully from ever losing integrity. Without this video I wouldn't have even thought to do that so thanks for recommending practicing and tracing. Utilized it to match my needs. Soon will be installing the treads. I used simpson hangers and rated screws. Made it much easier for me.

Definitely the best video I have watched on how to calculate, measure and lay out the stringer..(and I have watched several hours worth!) So glad I found this - now I can finally erase all the lines I've drawn, re-drawn, and drawn again and actually do it correctly. Thank you sooo much!

I marked and cut my first set today doing a deck remodel. I had helped my boss with a stair set last summer so I had an idea of the process, but was nervous to do it on my own job. I wanted to make sure the job was done right. Thanks for the knowledge, I'll use it the rest of my life.

i damage one 2x12 so i look your video and do exactly what you say. wass perfect. thank you !!! 👍 great job.

Very clear and easy laymen terms a great help..

Thank you so much, been dwelling on this.

The best explaination of how to calculate how many steps and how to lay out measurements. Thank you!

Great video. short and to the point. I used cardboard to make the template and it worked great. thanks for the video

Definitely a STEP in the right direction. Gr8 video, well explained. Thanx for sharing 👍👍

Thank you so much. Your instructions were easy and I really appreciate the part about using the clamps to make a jig.

I used to be a contractor and I now teach Construction Technology to high school students and your video really helped me brush up on cutting stair stringers. Thanks.

Excellent and to the point. Thanks.

Thank you for making this video really plain and simple, so helpful. It worked out great.

Thank you so much for your help! Your video is the best out there. I went one step further and used cardboard for my template. It worked very well! Just an idea for others to try.

Best stringer video on KZread. Great Job!

Right On The Money! Great presentation that you get to the point quickly. I've looked at dozens but only bookmarked this one!

Thank you, Wayne, for doing this video - useful information for free is always appreciated. I'm a middle-aged woman who is just trying to learn "how-to" and I need all the help I can get. I just did my first stringer of four today, and it took me awhile because the bottom step to needed to be level with the landing it butts up against, and the top stair needed to be level with the top of the deck, as the apron board is only 6" wide on the existing deck. I did it, thanks to you! Thanks!!!

The stringer is holding up my project up. I have had a mental block but you went slow and made it so I can understand. BTW you are the ONLY carpenter out of many how to videos who explained the top tread. You did this by simply stating “leave enough for the top tread.” Thank you.👍

Thank you Wayne. Clear and easy to follow. Also your tip about using an off cut and 2 small clamps (on the carpenter's square) was brilliant, enabling me to get the pencil lines EXACTLY right. My deck stairs are finished!!

Thank you so much for such an easy to follow video!!!! I don't get much help from my husband/son, so have to learn a lot of "how to's" on my own!!!!! Can't wait to get started!!!!!!

Best one to follow,simple and to the point

Thank you for the video. I was trying to find some 7 step pre made stringers and was unable to find them in wood, so this will make it super easy to make them myself. Thank you again.

Wayne. You did a great job. This is a very useful video for those attempting this at home. 10/10!

Nice job, nice guy, lays it out pretty simple and straight forward

Thanks you for so good explanations. Cheers.

I love this video, I’m on the way to home depot to take back my 5 step stringers my height is 43 1/2 as well 😢 first time doing this

Thanks for putting this together. I've finished everything but the stairs because I was afraid I'd waste my 2x12s. I'll try to use a piece of plywood like you did. Great idea and excellent job breaking it down.

Thank you so much for this. I couldn't finish my basement without this video.

Great Video! You made that look easy!

I've got to tell you you made it look really easy I've been a carpenter Carpenter's helper yard work grading whatever I did it but I never had the ability to retain a lot of the knowledge I needed to and I am going to try to do stairs you've given me the confidence to grab that speed square I mean carpenter Square and try my first set of stairs thank you

Straightforward and simple. Thanks for the instruction

Fantastic video !

Thanks for sharing.👍

Thank You Friend, I just finished 4 Stringers today with a 5-1/2" rise at my moms house.

great presentation. one of the best.

Thnx dude so simple n easy n the ply template cheers 👍

Thank you... I've watched so many stair stringer vids and this was by fair the easiest to understand/follow.

Awesome detail!

took me awhile to understand watched a hundred videos this was the most simplest to understand thanks!

Wayne, Thank you for creating this video. After watching this video (several times) I was able to make some stringers for a small concrete project. The stringers came out perfect thanks in large part to your video. Thanks again!!

Thank you for sharing.

Great Explanation!

Need more, just DON'T leave undone. Your a teacher and left EVERYONE hanging. GREAT JOB, I SEEN MY COUSINS PUT A PIECE OF WOOD BEHIND TOP STEP TO NAIL TO PORCH OR WHAT'S THERE, HOW WILL THIS BE ATTACHED ???? SOME TEACHING JOB. NOT !!!!

This is a really clear, concise, and accurate explanation. Thank you.

Wow, thank you!!! I've gone through many videos on how to do this wishing I came across this one first!

Thank you. Your video was priceless. It only took me 5 hours to build my stairs thanks to your knowledge.

Excellent video! Short, simple, and easy to follow! Thanks!

Brilliant, Frank! Easily the best explanation of "how to" on KZread. I now have the confidence to tackle this! Many thanks :-)

I saw several Videos that show how to figure stair stringers, they were not only confusing to a person who knows nothing about framing ,cutting wood material but very annoying, as a framer for 20 + years the only thing that was not mentioned was the "Crown " of the wood to place the layout, but you did a Great job!! couldn't have been explained more accurate and with simple terms , thanks

Sir you are a real teacher thank you

great video ......thank you . Simple and straight forward.

Thank you! With your advice I was able to tackle my deck stairs. Many many thanks.

Thank you so much for this video. You gave me simple easy instructions. Kudos!!!!

As a up and coming builder this video really helped

Great job explaining it! Clear and to the point! Love it!

Best I've seen on steps. I actually understood it.

Thanks dude best simple explanation I’ve found

Excellent video thanks

Extremely well done. I think very very proffesional. I enjoyed the video and it answered all the questions that I had written down and more. Great Job!!!!

As a person with with a learning disability i have to say that this video was very informative, and easy to understand. One thing i recommend is if you are doing the layout template on a piece of scrap make sure it is perfectly square first before even starting the layout. Better than scrap use a 1 X 12 piece of pine, or hardboard. Personally i found it easier, and more accurate just to layout the stringer without the template, but the template is great for sampling the layout before deciding.

Go head and work that math! Love it!

By far one of the best video sir it is clear and simple

Thank you, Wayne. I learned a lot!

thank you . You've just made building my stairs for my deck a lot easier.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom :)

Hi , your idea of doing a test run using a piece of plywood is simply brilliant !!! -- I will be doing this later this morning -- thanks ;-)

Thanks for making it so simple. John from Alberta.

Well done, thank you. Almost bought stair gauges but I'll now use wood and clamps

What a fantastic how to video!

You sound like Red from The Red Green Show! Thanks for the great video sir.

this video was very detailed and easy to comprehend...thank you!.......

it was easy to follow your demo! Thanks for posting!

I love the clamp trick! Here I was thinking I'd need to go to the store to get those gage things. My time is always much better spent on site working.
