Large Workshop Buildout 4: How to Build a Staircase like a PRO

Wanting to know how to build a staircase like a pro? In part 4 of the Large Workshop Buildout, I share with you the tips and tricks I've learned over the years to easily build the best staircase possible, all while being as efficient as I know how.
I would love to hear others thoughts on ways to make this process easier or better. I really recommend having the construction master pro app on your phone!!

    Something that's difficult to realize, specifically about what you're doing in these videos, is that teaching and explaining the actions you're taking, while also performing customer work in a timely manner, takes a tremendous amount of skill and confidence. But you also manage to display humbleness and gratitude towards the things that have made you successful. You reiterate throughout some of your videos that we're all only human, and make mistakes. I'm glad you include those mistakes, how they may have happened, and how you correct them. It brings a lot more to the table than a video that experiences little or no difficulties. All of you, camera man included, are doing great work, and setting a fantastic example for anyone who happens to watch your content.

    This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzread.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

    I do have one question. Not sure if anyone asked something similar. When you were putting a tread on you talked about the cup of the board and how you want it up which in my experience as a Handyman and from past employers has been a no-no. The cup facing up allows a dip in the board, but I know you glued it as well as screwed it and also this is an interior application so could you elaborate more on why you did it that way? I build for a living, and I own my handyman business and I've watched your videos for a few years. You do great work my friend. I'm always willing to learn and you explain things well, keep up the quality work!

You make sure to stop and explain why you do each thing, and the goal being, for others to learn, and to have a satisfied customer as well. If I could give this a 10/10 I would, but I'll give it a like and a subscribe instead. I honestly don't know that I have ever sat through a 51 minute youtube video besides some sermons, but this was well worth it. Excellent job!

    Job well done. For over 34 years I was the supervisor and laborer building bridges. Although my work for most times was not this intense, I did make sure it was done right cutting no corners. It makes anyone feel good to see a project come out like it should. I am now retired and in my back yard is a wood shop I built two years ago. I enjoy just building anything that comes to mind. I have put some good money in the shop and can pretty much build anything you like. Sawdust just gets in the brain I guess.

    So much of the details in the first 9:30 are things I wish I'd understood better when we built our deck a few years ago. I knew the ideal ratio thing, and I knew about adjusting the bottom rise, but the bit of calculating the hypotenuse of the individual step and using that as a "checksum" for your layout is brilliant!

  • @josephdavis8017

    Your method of laying out cut lines for stair treads and risers on a 2x12 stringer is an excellent defense of why using math keeps all of your tape measurements & layout lines in perfect checks & balances. We are all human and I have always made some kind of minor blooper on my layout stringer work, that I later regretted. But now, using these simple math skills keeps me in check to make those perfect cuts on every stringer, works like a charm. Also your argument that you (the builder) has to only have to do this once, but the home owner (customer) must walk & up down those stairs for the rest of his life - all the more reason to follow: "Do It Right The First Time". 🌞

Steps or stairs with too great or too shallow of a rise as well as too large or too narrow of a tread are very uncomfortable to climb and can be a tripping hazard. I believe the 7 1/4 over 10 is the average or the middle.

    Kyle. I live in Hawaii and what I always do to stringers is subtract an additional bit 1/2"-3/4" and add a hot dip 3/8" lag bolt to the bottom of each stringer. 2 things. keeps it above water and 2 it helps a bit more to adjust for who knows what. I'm more likely to do this on exterior stuff. and for exterior stingers I do not cut the treads or risers but simply use a tread bracket spaced away from the stringer with 1/8" nylon washers and keep the treads from touching wood to wood and I treat every cut outside the envelope. it really doesn't take that much more time. Like you said. after you do a couple of these it becomes second nature. GREAT VIDEO. Thank you

    Great video, thanks for all the time and hard work putting it together for us, very professional. A very valuable addition to any tool kit would be a strictly metric tape measure as well as a set of other strictly metric squares, etc. ( I use the imperial system as well but really do hate it and prefer metric in many instances) I also wrote an Android app for calculating spacing, which rounds up or down each increment to the nearest + - tolerance set by user, similar to the calculator you were using without any added or missing length on the last space
