How to install a kite winder staircase PART 1***I'M ON MY OWN AGAIN***

In this video I show how I set up and fit the first section of a winder stair set.

Top man showing your skills at the highest level.

Appreciate you watching and your very kind comments🤗Cheers Del

[@davetaylor4741]

All that time spent installing stairs for a living paid off. Working out all the top and bottom cuts the hardest part. You make it look easy.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Irony is Dave, I used to be really intimidated by stair fitting, but like you say, facing your fears and getting on with it over the years has made it come really easy now👍Thanks for watching bud 😎 Cheers Del

[@mlawlan69]

A tradesman at the absolute upper echelons of their game, it's a pleasure to watch and learn.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐Your comment is very kind🤗and have many years of experience which goes a long way😎Cheers Del

[@ironian24]

Great video, thx for sharing, we are making a solid oak staircase with the winder at the bottom and straight at the top, it's nice to have a video as a reminder on a job I've done many years ago. I know how to make them, but I lose a little confidence after not doing one for many years, so this has refreshed what I already know, nice to see a quality craftsmen at work.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐I know exactly how you feel about being 'rusty' if you haven't done something for a long time, and like you say, sometimes just a few little reminders bring it all back👊Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@garrymetcalfe5914]

It's great to watch how another joiner works as we all do things slightly differently but get the same results. Keep up the great work Del👍🏼

[@thetallcarpenter]

That's the magic of our wonderful trade Garry👊Plenty of different ways of getting the same results👍Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del

[@attlee1945]

Love watching you do stairs. Great job Del

[@thetallcarpenter]

Thank you Steve🤩I find doing stairs very enjoyable👍Cheers

[@amazing451]

It's great to see you back Del been missing you of late, good point you made at 16min on the video about the riser and tread being square, often had problems with newels not been plumb even if the shoulders of the tenon were tight. Look forward to part 2.👍👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Kevin👍Yeah, its only a small tip, but if that riser is not square, you'll always struggle to plumb the newel😬Thanks for your comment bud😎

Perfect job and as you are so tall the ideal skilled man to install staircases !

Great video Dell. I’ve got a staircase to do so loving the tips. Pick yourself up a tapered drill and countersink bit set. Axminster do a nice set. Pilot, clearance drill and countersink all in one operation. Save you swapping bits over. Looking forward to the next instalment. All the best. 👍

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐I've seen those combined drill sinks you mention, and they do look good👊Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del

Nice one Del, another excellent instructional video.

[@johnmorrissey1675]

See it's a new pencil day Del, Kite winders are always slower to fit , nice one Del ☘️🇮🇪🤟🩼😅

[@thetallcarpenter]

Well spotted John🤩It really WAS a new pencil👊Thanks, as always for watching and your comments🤗Cheers Del

[@jimgeelan5949]

Nice to see all that glue and loads of fixings in all the parts, shame they didn’t do that in my daughter new build house by the company beginning with b and ending in is.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Unfortunately it's all to common for stairs to end with problems due to not being fitted properly😬Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

[@Mitch-Hendren]

So bad they've changed their name on merger. Starts with v and ends in ry now !

[@danielbarnard9423]

Great video as always! Just wondered why you use pva on the stair joints and not PU glue? I’ve always found the foaming action as it dries guarantees no squeaks!

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Daniel🖐PVA glue is INSANELY strong when used on tight joints, and is much more user friendly when used on stairs👍I'm not saying its superior to PU glue, as PU glue is VERY strong and good at bonding non tight joints💪it's just a bit messy for use on stairs😎Thanks for watching and your comment 🤩Cheers Del

[@LTWCarpentry]

Great job as always mate ! Show how tall you are, I normally use a step ladder to hook the top section on 😂 I have to ask, what’s in the tobacco tin ?

[@thetallcarpenter]

To be fair bud, its only 2.4m from floor to floor, so it does make it a bit easier😉And the tobacco tin has got private things in it😆(well, drill bits and screwdriver points👍) Cheers

[@neil-mv3it]

great video del

[@thetallcarpenter]

Thanks for watching Neil😎

[@petermcwhirter2215]

Hi do you always start fitting stairs from the top? My builder says he does it from bottom.

[@thetallcarpenter]

ALWAYS start fitting from the top Peter👍as the top tread/nosing is an absolute fixed point with no scope for adjustment, unlike the bottom tread/riser which you wouldn't notice being 10mm higher or 10mm lower👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

[@julietphillips1991]

Del, doesn't it bother you at all, being a right-hander, using a circular saw with the blade on the right and the motor on the left?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi there🖐Absolutely not😲I find blade right saws far easier to use than blade left ones🤔It's mainly due to the better sighting of the blade as you lean over the saw, and as you lean over the saw, you bring it closer in towards your body where you can utilise your core strength better, which gives better power and control👊 I find myself leaning away from my blade left saw to sight the blade, plus it shoots the dust straight into my pockets😆Thanks for your comment😎

[@julietphillips1991]

@@thetallcarpenter Two things: you're a pro, I'm just a diyer and you're tall, I'm not. My issue is sighting the blade because for me it's over there and I find myself craning and leaning over too much. It took me a while to realize that some saws have the blade on the right and others on the left.

[@thetallcarpenter]

@julietphillips1991 Good points, and I think blade orientation can suite certain jobs and the hand of the operator also has a bearing👍

[@Ultimate-roofing-square.]

Nice Del. Problem in the next part… 😬 👊🏻
