I literally didn't know how to cut stringers . Watched thus video like 5 times went to home depot got my wood and cut me 6 step stringers. Made perfect sense. Thanks, I'm now redoing my grandma's steps.

Thank you! I never use a skill saw and was worried about kickback and how to remove the saw properly when making a cut that doesn't go all the way across. I was also wondering about starting cuts from a corner (which this method eliminates). Thank you again, this was very helpful! It is so simple :)

You'll be safe as long as you keep your saw blade moving straight and let off the trigger and make sure the blade comes to a complete stop before you lift out of the cut. If you're still feeling unsafe use a cordless circular saw. The blade comes to a stop instantly when you let off the trigger. You can drill 1/2" holes right in the corner where the rise meets the run and cut right up to the hole. Good luck 👍

First one took me 2 hours! Tomorrow trace the stringers! !! Also id add how to cut the amount off the bottom for the flooring (too and bottom) generally 3/4 or 1 1/4 right?... as well as explain a “kicker”... mahalo for your videos!!!

You measure finished floor to finished floor and measure your rise and run after that. The “kick plate” you just notch out. 1.5” for a 2x4 under bottom foot of stringer

There are stair stringer calculators free online. You put in the height of your deck, what size tread you will be using (2x6 or 5/4 decking), and whether you want step down or flush step. It gives you the rise and run height/length of each stair, how many stairs, and angle of stairs. Super simple.

What’s wrong with the rear handle saws? I have the Makita one and it’s awesome. Way more accurate than those small ones with no weight and tiny baseplate. Like everything they definitely have their place and this is definitely one of them. Also what if the bottom of stairs has same thickness flooring as the treads? Deck to landing for example.

@@jakewrtt This is a bit tricky to explain, but bottom riser has to be cut shorter by the same amount as the tread thickness, since the ground/floor/etc is inherently where you're stepping, so since there's already a "tread" (ie. the ground) you're coming from to the first step, the riser must be shorter on the first step so it's actually equal for your step for every step you take (ie ground to first step rise is identical to last step to the landing). It's hard to explain without seeing it.
