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.

Awesome job 😊
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.
It’s Greg right? That dude is such an amazing helper. Always making himself useful, and always being one step ahead so he can help the flow. What a guy!
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!
I've had this explained to me multiple times, and I have never fully comprehended what was going on. You are an excellent teacher, and put a lot of heart into your work at the same time. 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!

I'm getting ready to lay out my stairs to my Platform in my barn. Did an excellent job explaining it. Thanks
I like that you take pride in your work,not a lot of contractors don’t.Great job guy’s.
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.

It's nice to see that there are still people who take pride in their work. My old boss wouldn't even take the time to do things right building 10 million dollar plus custom homes in Park City, let alone when we built cheaper homes.
Great layout techniques and mention we all make mistakes but showing how make sure everything stays the same with only a little extra time. A true teacher and a great craftsman
Morning Kyle I enjoy your videos . I learn alot about great building designs and what to add to a building when having one built. Thank you for your time and knowledge.
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!
Thank you for covering and breaking down the fine detail like you did. I am a novice so sometimes I have a hard time following all the lingo and steps but this video in particular I followed very well. Love all your videos guys, you teach me a ton. Thanks
Great video, as always. Learned a few tricks today that will be helpful in the future. Glad to see I'm not the only guy measuring for identical screw placement in the stair threads!!! 😁Your attention to detail is always an inspiration.
Best stair building tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you for generously sharing your skills.
This came at a perfect time. I am about to tear out my current basement stairs and build new ones. Great explanation and showing how to lay it out.
Dude I appreciate the knowledge you’re giving out. Doing it right the first time. You’re work is legit..
Not a builder but enjoyed watching you go through the process of building stairs. When I was 14 (in 1966) an old carpenter showed me how to layout and build a staircase using a framing square. Your video brought back a fond memory.
I love your attitude for accuracy. Good job.
Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to teach us professor Kyle 🤙🏼
Beautiful job man! I’ve messed up on stringers so many times and that’s how I know you know what you’re doing. 👍
Thanks for a great video. I've always been just a little off whenever I make stringers, thanks for the great tips to reduce errors and double-check.
You, sir, are a good teacher. Thanks.
What an amazing stair building tutorial, learned so much.
I love your work, and your ability to show us how to do things correctly. I have studied staircase design, and have execute a few correctly, even a set of alternating stair treads for my tiny apartment. I really appreciate the refresher course you provided, thank you
The fact that I understood every little detail about how you wanted the tread to be level all throughout and be precise, yet 2 months ago I’d have had no idea what you were talking about. stairs are the last thing I need to perfect about building decks! Thanks for the awesome video.
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". 🌞
Big fan of you guys and the content on your channel! Very entertaining and great attention to detail. I just build my first ever set of stairs (from scratch) using this video. Went absolutely perfect, not a single mistake, can’t thank you enough. Please keep up the awesome work.
There’s so many DYI videos out there for steps but yours is the best thorough instructional video! Loved it, I wish I watched this first before doing mine a few months ago 😢
Excellent job! Down to detail and extra care. This stair will last a life time. I wished you are in Austin, Texas to build my dream home!
It is the best way to lay out stairs with out any mistakes and with most accuracy. Good job.
This was an excellent lesson on building stairs. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for going over the math and the calculator. I just bought a construction master 5. I really appreciate the lesson.
Thank you very much for de-mystifying this process. Well done.
Best stair building video. Thanks RRB
Excellent work! Your work speaks quality by itself but thank you for the detail explanation!
Great instructions, easy to follow for even a non-builder like myself.
You are an excellent presenter. My dad and uncle were old school - I LOVE my metric tape!!
By far one of the best and most detailed video on stair building. Explaining step by step and actually doing it in a real world setting. 10/10 recommend.
Quality job! Pleasure to see and to learn. Thank you.
Great looking set of stars. You guys do great work indeed.
You’re a very good educator and professional you do a great job!
Great job. I learn something everytime I watch your videos. Very enjoyable to watch. I love the idea of this style of house.
Wonderful video! I don't know if you ever seen Gary Katz stair layout videos, but it's always nice to see different methods! As a carpenter, learning several ways is a good thing!
Thanks for the explanation Kyle! 👍😁
Your instructions are excellent. Your craftsmanship is next level. I am a tool and die maker. I really appreciate the content.
Loved everything about the video! Your rock!
I have really enjoyed your videos and as someone with 40 years building and creating. What I have learned the most from your videos is how to teach better you have a great ability to explain the MATH ( It really is important) and get the work done. The we are in it together and this is how I have learned to do it you may do it different or another way and that is fine Mantra Really is how we all help each other progress. Thank You
Awesome! I'll be sure to draw my stairs to scale to figure out the shortened risers on the stringers.
This is a man who knows what he`s doing. Perfect explained and carried out. Recognition and thanks from Germany.👌👍
That is a rock solid, accurate staircase! Nice work!
Very good tutorial Kyle ,thank you..
I would think and usually make sure my stairs are frowning at me. Similarly to the reason you crown up on the stringer. I would think the traffic would help keep that frown flat.
Beautiful work and great tips
This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you!
Canelo I didn’t know you were a carpenter too thank you champ!! ..
Well done Kyle! One of your better instructional videos.
Awesome Stair Building Video Kyle!!
Watching your video I learned all the mistakes my Son-in-Law and I made cutting stringers for his basement stairs. 2nd time around was much better! Very informative video.
Excellent video! Thanks Kyle
I'm not in the trade. I'll never build my own stairs. But, this video has finally explained to me in a way I understand how the math really works and dealing with the top and bottom so the risers are consistent across the run of stairs. It may be my favorite video to date. BTW, I follow because I just love watching building videos. What could have been and all that...
Great video, I am going to be building stairs in a few weeks, so great timing on the video.
Great job as usual 👍🏻 Thanks.
Excellent work.
I actually sat down and took notes during this video, haha! Now I feel more confident! Great job guys!
Thanks Kyle & Greg!!!
You guys are quality for sure.
As always, beautiful job, love to watch your builds, the only negative is the imperial measurements :-)
Very good video. Those stairs are a beast now! You could drive a tank up them! Nice job!
Excellent video. I'm a mechanical engineer and never learned anything about wood or wood type construction (all I learned in school is high end physics and math and some fun programming type stuff for robotics, but I have been a manufacturer for 6 years now (solid metal parts - CNC type stuff) and love your videos. They're super easy to understand and truly valuable for the trade. I've seen what some builders do and this is A+.

@@RRBuildings Information is good, And probably one of the best, But you can break it down and simplify it even more, If you really want to make it easy for people to comprehend.
Thank you very much for taking the time to show a finish carpenter (Me) who does this work for a living however I am not asked often to do stairs? GC use Stair Co. Who hv carpenters dedicated to just stair building! However , the few times I hv I struggled ( even at my age) now no need to! Great pro to pro channel ! I hope you make a million a yr buddy!
As a weekend wacker this helps to see this task done correctly !
FANTASTIC!!! thank you very much for the great advice and examples to follow for everyone! -tibor
Not sure if anyone mentioned this but you can set your wall height as the "Rise" and just press the "Stairs" button until it gives you your riser height and number. Then select "Run" for the run of the stairs.

@@RRBuildings The AIA gives a small range for rise-over-run for stairs so the stairs will not be too steep or too shallow so there will not be a tripping hazard. 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.

So complicated. We'll see what's up
Yes you are a real wood master i enjoy your video"s and your quality work greetings from the handy man from the Netherlands
nice kyle real nice, i love tricky stairs and teaching those who want to learn also 😊 its a lot of fun and very fulfilling. nice tip with the layout useing the hypotenuse nice way of keeping yourself in check👏
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
Your work is beautifully done, your a craftsman
Stair guages are good, but I like to save 30 bucks, and a straight edge clamped to your square is very accurate and Free. Great info and please keep pushing content out.
Very cool and complex if you don't know what you're doing. I have no plans to build any stairs but still watched the entire video 😅. Nice job!
stair building is one of the trickiest parts of framing but you did a great job showing how its done !!!!
Thanks for the info Kyle! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ... When it's comes to building staircases, there's definitely a lot of steps involved! 😉

Hehe!
Your videos are great and the pride in workmanship is an inspiration! One suggestion I have for you though.....; try metric measurement. Once you try metric measurements for a while, you'll wish you tried it years ago. I'm 64 years old and if I can do metric measurements, I know you can too.👍
Great lesson
Excelente video saludos 👍👌
Have you considered using LP SolidStart stair stringers? I have used these on a few projects and like them more than dimensional lumber. They are dimensionally stable and true, there are no knots to work around and the corners never crack along the grain.
Kyle, I really enjoyed this video. It was very informative! I really enjoy watching your videos!😊😊😊😊😊
very much appreciate your sharing
Thank you so much for this great break down video! Love your work and commentary 🤙🏼 can you link your tools/ writing utensils you are using? Always looking for new tools to try
Very well explained thanks
Great videos! you should do a tool review on the metric system, try have the team work in metric for the day and let us know what you think, can just do millimetres for everything
Excellent work very fhougher very well done guys
Fantastic video! Learned quite a bit! We're getting ready to build our Barndo here in Kansas City area. Nice to see the attention to detail!
Not a fan of the full turf fields but still a beautiful ballpark I’m sure the boys are stoked! Great job guys.
A video that I will make sure I save and play over and over.
Love it a small picture within a bigger picture never was shown the small picture.👍🙏🤛
Awesome video thank you!
Just discovered this channel and I’m happy that I did. This is what carpentry is all about.
Love the video, especially when you highfived after laying down the 4ft level, Bang on the money 🤣😂
Great job!! I am 68 & so happy to see a couple young men that take PRIDE in their work great job!! O ya I was a carpenter my entire life. Started with my dad when I could lift a hammer. Pride in your work says a lot for your character !!! Been watching for years you & Greg are a great team nice 👍 Love God Love America 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
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
