I’m so glad to see someone like yourself doing a project like this. I’ve been a carpenter all my life and so many times when I’ve given a price to a potential customer they look at me like I’m trying to steal from them. And I’ve always been reasonable with prices.

[@iowaboy9361]

I bought this as a gift for my friend kzbin.infoUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

[@stevencoates3382]

Anyone else here because of the thumbnail? 😉😉😉

[@algio3041]

You can save yourself a ton of time by only pre-drilling your corner screws. Especially with treated lumber, that moisture content really makes it resists splitting. There are some other tips that could speed things along, but you found ‘your own way’ of doing it, and that’s very respectable!

[@sorrymrgoogle2601]

I was also thinking that was unnecessary especially with the screw type she used and the fact that they are 2x6's

[@davidhampton6502]

Super job! Love a woman who isn't afraid to tackle something like this. Impressed with your angled cuts etc. Only pointer... When building decks and or steps, put your risers on first and cut them level with the framing structure. Then overlap the risers with your decking and steps. On your side piece/door, install it first and overlap with the risers so your cut edges are on the side.

[@donlandry4023]

[@timskufca8039]

I must agree, the decking should overhang the risers at both sides

[@MrHitthespot]

Having just built a large composite deck myself, I really enjoyed your video. Nice job. As someone else said below hard to believe you have four children. You’ve been blessed.

[@stratmister009]

A couple of things for folks who might be considering this type of build. First, when lumber (even press.treated) is in direct contact with ground it's best to nail vertical sticks onto a flat piece on the bottom rather than the ends resting on the ground. Reason is that the lumber ends is most vulnerable as wood fibers are exposed and they efficiently will draw moisture from the concrete, expand and if your climate has frost, that will shorten the life. Also as the ends begin to deteriorate the structure will sag. The other tip I wanted to share is that there are several shortcuts in achieving the overall angular shape without having to cut every stick of wood in the required angle. What a pro-contractor would do is to build out a rectangle with right angles first, then add to it a slice to achieve the desired angle. Another approach is to build an angular slice in the back to offset from the front wall, then build all the subsequent members in front of it in perfect right angles. That saves tremendous time and effort in measuring marking cutting and yield a much shorter build cycle $$.

[@ajs96350]

Truck and a chain! For future reference, when you say it's 20 degrees the other way, subtract 20 from 90 and that's the angle you were cutting, if you wanted to miter the risers with the side trim, that angle is 70 degrees so if you mitered the riser and side trim each at 35 degrees, that should line up perfectly. They look great, good job.

[@winstonsmiths2449]

[@autova6205]

This video started via autoplay. It was playing in the background until I heard you decided on a 20° angle. OK, time to rewind. With 40+ years in the trade, I just had watch. I've worked with a lot of experienced people who can't do angles like that without my help. There's more than one way to skin a cat, but your calculation method was good (you showed it but I'd have to watch again to know if you talked it out) and your comments about exact math and compensating for irregularity in framing lumber are important things to remember. Extra kudos for showing your cardboard template. Everyone I've ever worked with uses an easily cut, disposable material to figure out complex cuts. It saves time and material which = saving money. I did notice as you were finishing the project you were using shorter bits to drive the screws than when you started. I always use the shortest bit possible because it's easier to direct the screw where you want it to go and it's easier to get the tool at the proper angle in and around your work. I generally keep a 2" and 6" in my belt but the 6 or anything longer only comes out when something obstructs my driving angle. My only negative is footwear. For your sake and the safety of your DIY followers, wear boots with steel or composite toe protection, especially when doing heavy lifting. If your original stairs were heavy enough to require core strength to move (kudos again), they're heavy enough to break bones, crush, mangle or even sheer off toes. I have a steel toe boot that had to be cut off my foot when a pallet of lumber was dropped on it 20 years ago. I also have all 6 toes. Just kidding, but my right foot has the 5 toes I was born with.

[@korysheehan7190]

You did such a killer job that I feel bad saying the only thing I would do different is install the side finish boards on first so that when you put the front finsh boards on they would cover the cut edge of the side boards.I am sure you figured that out aftr you finished or maybe you like it better the way it is.Never the less you definately know what you are doing!

Impressed on so many levels. variety of tools used, time taken to get every angle right, preparation of drill holes, your preparedness to lift and push beyond what appeared to be possible.

[@pureau79]

Great job! A few things to consider: * Drill bits break most often by lateral movement, not the density of the wood. * You put yourself in the “line of fire” a few times. When you cut wet wood on a table saw (extremely dangerous) move the push stick a little closer to the blade to introduce a little rotational force toward the leading edge (your push position can cause the board to drift away from the fence at the leading end). ***Although a riving knife is installed, it’s not impossible to get a kickback. Kickbacks occur most often when the leading end of a board drifts away from the fence. Crooked wood and wet wood are really dangerous to work with. *** Take a body position not directly in front of the blade. * Riving knife = good insurance, not perfect protection (especially with wet wood). * NEVER cross your arm (as mentioned by another viewer) over with a miter saw. That puts you into a “when an accident occurs, not IF an accident occurs” scenario. Overall I would give you a A-. You took on a challenge. You learned some things. You did a really good job overall - just those few things where you endangered the Mommy of those little ones...

[@Raytenecks]

Also, wear shoes when trying to move really heavy things. I was so cringing at the socked feet slipping that 2x4 under the old stairs.

[@pureau79]

[@josephbrauer2573]

first time watching your video. Kudos to Hubby for helping when needed , second ; great job lady on the new steps , they look great . third ; you need to get a small work table to get your table saw off the ground , and please watch your body positioning when cutting . if that wood were to "kick-back" on you , big OUCH ! ! you have a lot of enthusiasm and I for one would like to see more of your work without you getting hurt .

[@BW-pr8qr]

The stairs came out very nice! However, I cringed through much of the video with some safety issues, so in the name of SAFETY for your sake and your viewers, here goes: 1. Table saw safety. You are in the line of fire for the table saw. They can send the wood flying right back at you at tremendous speeds! The table saw is the most dangerous tool in the shop. Stand off to the side so you don't get hit if a piece of wood goes flying. 2. An unattended miter saw with the battery in it, with kids around at 12:05. Always unplug or remove battery when unattended. And at 12:15 you crossed your left hand in front of the blade and could have sliced your wrist. Hold with the right hand in that case, and lower the blade with your left. And... 3. Wear gloves. You should wear quality well-fitted work gloves when cutting, handling, assembling, and screwing wood, and most other home improvement projects. Protect those hands! There is debate about work gloves around table saws that can be further researched. 4. No shoes at 8:49 - 9:30 when lifting the old stairs! You pushed a piece of wood under the propped stairs, and could easily have dropped the stairs and broken your foot! Also, sandals while working in another part of the video. Can easily drop tools or wood and hurt yourself. 5. When lifting heavy objects, use the buddy system! No need to lift and move that entire old deck yourself. Ask for help, or you can throw out your back and be out of commission for a LONG time. 6. Safety glasses! Always should wear safety glasses when working with wood and power tools. Splinters and saw dust go flying. Protect those eyes! 7. Take your rings and jewelry off. They can get caught in equipment, or crushed if an object smashes your hand. 8. I would also suggest wearing work pants to protect your legs and knees, but I'm sure we've all worked in shorts before. Be safe Everyone :-)

[@bobbg9041]

God help you if you ever get kick back on the table saw, your standing in the firing range. Always stand off to the left of the blade never behind the wood your cutting. That push stick is too small for the job your doing also. And it needs to be closer to the blade side of the board and not the fence side. A wider push block would be better.

[@ricklang5434]

Totally agree

[@SultanofSpey]

We get it. She's easy on the eyes. She's also pretty talented.

[@larryspiewak3731]

Stairs should have an overhang (nosing) between 3/4″ to 1-1/4” to increase the depth of the tread, making it better for descent and the ergonomics of ascending the stairs. In some building codes, it might be ok not to have the nosing if treads are at least 11” deep.

Better in theory than practice. Hyper-industrious women are incredibly particular and never shut off. My entire family is full of them and I am an industrious male. The problem with a woman vs a man being this way is they get some really braindead ideas sometimes and they won't let go of them and push and push and push to get something done or set the way they want it to be. As soon as the tidal wave of stress they created is over they are dreaming up the next project or thing they want to tackle. Don't get me wrong its a great trait and they keep houses clean and kids ears washed. But be ready to be drained of energy from helping with her ideas or fighting the prospect of doing them.

FYI: treated lumber isn’t wet from sitting outside. The lumber is impregnated with chemicals which makes it resistant to weather, and will dry out with time .. If you want to stain or paint it, you will want to wait about 6 weeks , so the surface will dry enough to be able to absorb any additional finish you may want to apply..😊👍

Also, needs to learn about table saw safety. Nothing scares me as much as a table saw - and from recent research it is statistically the most dangerous wood working tool. When she uses the push stick, she should be pushing closer to the blade (not the fence) or else she encourages kick back. At 4:48 you can see how close she is to the fence with the stick. Some scary videos will show how a table saw can end things very quickly.

YOU DID A GOOD JOB! Just one thing I'd say to your husband: "YOU LUCKY, LUCKY MAN!"

[@alfilkemper9240]

Wow, good job. I need to build new steps for the back door & have been thinking of using composite boards so I don't have to paint the steps every other year. It's good to know about the 12" spacing. Thanks for sharing!

My Financial target is Bitcoin and I will keep investing in it because it’s the only cryptocurrency with the overall best performance in the past few years. The truth is that the volatility associated with bitcoin is what makes it so profitable especially when you trade with a good strategy. Until I started making profits consistency off trading that I believed it was possible. That being said, the market is still all about BTC at the moment and I will advise current investors and newbies to take advantage of the Company/Broker I trade with, a pro company who runs a training program for investors/newbies who lack understanding on how trading bitcoin works, to help them recover loss from the crash and also accumulate more bitcoin with their program. I went from having 1.3btc to 6btc in just 9weeks You can reach me via the comment box or send me a friend request let’s make the best of whatever we can.

Very helpful. Easy to understand descriptions. You really did a great job on the project AND inspiring other women to get going on the projects we'd love to do. I'm an old lady about to build exterior curved landscape. But please -for your future back-do ask for help in moving such heavy things. Your future old lady back will thank you.

Bravo! You took on this project and did such a great job. I'm really impressed (and inspired) by how you made all those corner ANGLES work. I am now seriously considering doing my decking project myself after watching this. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-kn6sz8ji1j]

Very nice build. I would suggest that you use safety glasses. God Bless.

[@mlarsen77]

Nice work!clearing chips once or twice while drilling pilots will save bits. It really helps with harder wood and wet/treated. if you noticed the dark spot on the edge of that board while drilling..... you were smoking the bit. Also, not clearing chips can cause the bit to walk especially with smaller bits.

[@elixir656]

Really great looking project, maybe next time instead of paint for the raw edges you could cut some 45⁰ returns on the boards so you get the same look as the boards on the edges

[@ConservativeVet84]

Impressive. You did what about 99% of people can’t do...encounter problems, figure out a fix, and then work through it. I highly recommend a compound mitre saw though.

Steel toes. Safety glasses. Work gloves. I supervised a shop in the past, it's amazing how many times the 3 above items saved one of my workers from severe injury or disability. You did a great job, but there are parts of this video that make me panic - 12:18 - Reposition your hands, use your left to operate the saw, or invest in clamps. NEVER cross your hand over the intended line of cutting when using a saw, if the blade went 1/4" deeper (or if you were using a larger blade) you would've cut into your forearm/wrist. Hand crossing when using a saw is a terrible habit and you need to correct this, just use your left hand next time, and you'll find it's not hard AND you're being safer. In any case, keep up the great work! Just please take a minute and make sure you're being safe, a minute is worth your finger, eye, arm, or toe, isn't it?

[@M_M0109]

Never use gloves near spinning cutters like saw blades, router bits, etc. They can pull the fabric and your hands into a very serious injury.

[@M_M0109]

@@TheWoodfordreserve I was talking about loose fitting gloves, so any time I see a comment like yours on a channel like this (with a beginner vibe to it), I think we should be careful with the equipment and techniques we comment on.

[@FelixTruvere]

[@Shilohii65]

Oh, when using a table saw, don’t place yourself in-line with the cut-off material. If the blade should catch that, it can become a missile, and like debris in a tornado or hurricane, it’ll embed in any soft material, like skin.

[@spudth]

Good reason to DQ the whole vid. First rule in using the saw!

[@josephbifulco]

Terrific work, came out great. Just built an outfeed table for my table saw…your buckets made me smile, As did your victory dance. My wife has to put her fingers in her ears when I finish anything.

[@Zecro67]

Nice stairs and I too love the angle. Have you ever considered extending the water faucet thru the board above the door for easy access without the need to open the door bending down and behind the door to reach the faucet?

[@larrybirchan]

Congrats ! I was definitely impressed with you ability as well as the craftsmanship you displayed in building those steps!

[@williamdonaldson2250]

I have three battery drills, never thought about using both of them on a repetitive project. I always interchanged using the other toys I have in the tool bag. I like what your doing much better

[@mauriceryton]

Great job, the stairs look great. When using your table saw never stand directly behind the piece that is between the blade and fence. If you get kickback the piece that will fly backwards can impact against your body at amazing velocity. Always wear appropriate footwear when working or lifting heavy items. A broken foot is not fun.

[@jeffa9570]

I wish all construction workers looked like that. I’d be having all kinds of projects!

Mate as a Chippy (Carpenter in Australia) hats off to ya. Well done, I think you've done a great DIY job. I won't "nit pick", plenty I could. But end of the day as a DIY er you've done a great job. Don't worry about the negative comments, it takes a lot of years to learn tricks of the trade, bloody good stuff! Props to you for having a go mate!
