Step By Step | Stair Building Walkthrough

Pay Attention Brian, today I do my best to give a comprehensive demonstration on how to build a staircase from scratch. 🍻
Thanks for watching!

I love to see u do everything with a skillsaw!!

[@EatSleepWrench]

Excellent content my guy. We look forward to the many long form videos to come!

I like the new Brian shirts but the band tees are a staple

[@lusoroofing5221]

watched many videos on this topic, yours is the most detailed! the illustrations helped a-lot!

[@woodbullyltd]

Glad to hear it!

[@lanceharper854]

A wood bully if you would pull your measurements from your framework you could do away with all that, adding an inch and tracking an inch out makes it a lot easier my man I know I’ve been in the business for over 20 years

[@woodbullyltd]

The one thing I would have done differently is cut the back of the stringer rather than the 1.5” off each rise. I’ve since changed my methods

[@rcon5196]

I like the idea of adding 1.5" to the run and using 2x8 as your riser. I will be using that on my deck stairs this season! Thanks for the good tip!

[@woodbullyltd]

Good to hear, thanks for watching

[@thecloneguyz]

YES LIKED SHARED

[@woodbullyltd]

Glad to hear it! I did make one step longer than it needed to be. I could have simply cut the 1.5” out of the back of the top step rather than all of them. 🤦‍♂️

[@g-ray7019]

Very nice

[@littleowens6599]

Worthy

[@badguy333]

Even faster than cutting 1 1/2" of the top rise is to take the 1 1/2" off the run before you mark it out - no extra marks or cuts. The other thing I do is pull level off the frame to where the bottom step is going and get my total height from there. That way if the grade is sloped my case is still plumb. Great videos. Keep up the good work!

[@woodbullyltd]

Yes. You are right. I actually did a video recently highlighting that.

[@deanraynor99]

I love figuring and cutting stars

[@woodbullyltd]

Me too.

[@shaboo2]

My head just exploded.

[@woodbullyltd]

🤣 thanks for watching

[@lusoroofing5221]

the jigs are bought separately? or that comes with the framers square?

[@woodbullyltd]

Separate

[@littleowens6599]

I got jokes and smart-ass comments

[@carsonholmquist6301]

One thing I’m confused on and have been trying to understand is the tread depth how is that determined to meet with the riser height

[@iaincampbell3119]

Your tread depth + riser height added together should be somewhere between 17-18".

[@brendononeal3663]

If you have a landing set in stone you have to adjust your rise to accomade the length, sometimes you have to add or subtract one step making the rise smaller or larger while staying in limit to accommodate the distance of the landing. For instance a rise of 37.5” and a landing at 60” away. 5 steps at rise 7.5 run 10” would be 37.5” rises but only 50” run so you add a step, making 6 10” steps, 60” run total, and 6 6.25” rises, still 37.5 inch rise just more steps. Make any sense or am I just rambling?

[@woodbullyltd]

Typically yes

[@levelseven9841]

You just "weakened" the stringers by taking 1 1/2" off of every riser, plus you wasted time. All you had to do was, take 1 1/2" off of the back of the top rise, and it would've set the stringer back 1 1/2", allowing for a 2x8 for each riser.

[@woodbullyltd]

Thanks for this. If you any other tips that could make the process more efficient. My ears are open.

[@woodbullyltd]

To my defence the throat was still more than minimum code. But I feel like your method would have been a time saver

[@levelseven9841]

The problem with stringers, even though you put the crown up, as soon as you cut them they tend to crown the other way. That's why the bigger the throat the better. Just like if you were to put several notches in the back of a board to bend it around a curve. That's exactly what happens to a stringer. Putting 2x? on every riser is a great idea, not only does it strengthen it also keeps all the stringers on the same plane.

[@jaredyandell1220]

Thanks! I thought the same I was really confused.😅

[@littleowens6599]

Sorry
