My Dude……your skill is on another level….literally 😂

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

That’s crazy those plastic horses held all of that material. Love the project dude.

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Also love the Stair Daddy!

[@alan_leblanc]

Man your my favorite home woodworking channel! Keep it up!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Wow, thanks dude. I’ll try

[@weekendhomeprojects]

The staircase game is strong with this one. Nicely done!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks bro, I appreciate that a lot.

[@ericrudawski8586]

Can’t wait for next vid; keep it up.

[@ClovenPlaidy]

Beautiful craftsmanship! You should allow more time at the end of your videos to show off your work. When the finished product appears near the end, youtube fills the screen with 3 pop ups for what to watch next and about 60% of the video is visible.

[@nolankraft7610]

Awesome build. Love the use of angled risers. Nice change from the standard bullnose treads. Very clean and minimalist.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks so much. That’s exactly what I was going for

[@alexand3r1]

Nice! This entire reno is beautiful! I'm no tradesman, but Google says code for stair runs is 11" without nosing and the angle can be up to 30°? If so, using an angle makes hitting 11" so much easier and I would have never thought to do such a thing. Thanks, dude!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you, I really appreciate that

[@CowichanMTB]

Turned out so good.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude

[@higginsandrew]

Beauty work as always. Excited to see the big stair job!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks Dude

[@Naxioan]

I'm gonna be doing the staircase in my new house in the next couple weeks, so perfect timing and got a bunch of tips to take into it! Great work

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks bro, glad I can help

[@maikel3572]

Those are some super sick stairs man!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you

[@kubilayylmaz1716]

Well done.👏👏👏👏

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you! 😃

[@rayzorpdx2664]

Dude! Now I want to my stairs just like yours! Nice Job..

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks bro

[@RyanSmith-ee3id]

Dude, you killed it like always! Nice work man!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks Dude as always

[@ryanturner9200]

Damn can’t wait to see that mega staircase job 😮 I imagine this took you quite a while - gotta make sure all those risers are the perfect height to keep the treads flush with the existing ones right? Bravo 👏

[@marcosramirez6248]

Really nice

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@macrapidito1]

Ok, I will assume that you adjusted your table saw blade at 82° with a digital angel finder then make your cut?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Correct if you want to go with the 8degree angle on a riser

[@macrapidito1]

@@RadDadBuilds is kinda unclear to me, sorry 😯😩but I rather ask, you made two 8° cuts to the same board/riser to match the angle of the 90° tread of the first step right? One 8° at the bottom where the riser meets the 90° tread and another 8° cut for connection between the riser and nose of the following tread, is this correct? The domino did you set it up to 8° when drilling into the boards? Or what was your settings?

[@surfandsnowbord]

Dude great work! I went for the same exact design except with walnut and 10 degree angles. I cut the treads and risers 5 years ago and have been too busy/scared to pull the trigger so they're sitting in a closet "acclimating." Think I'm going to invest in the domino for this, as it seems to be a big help and I don't trust my doweling. The filament tape is a great idea too, I was scratching my head about how I'd do that. What sealer did you use for the bottom of the wood? Varathane oil-based PU? Thanks for posting.

[@louisli2571]

Hi thx for video and if it's too fit on width, any worry for expansion or contraction when weather change ?

[@aaronharris5275]

Anti slip lacquer was a smart move! Was worried it would be slippery with socks on.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Yea it works better than expected too.

[@duanehundley]

Did you caulk between the oak and the drywall? Your channel is one of my favorite home reno channels. Can't believe you only have 38k subs. My wife and I watched this and want to tackle our stairs. Ours looks exactly like the ones you are going to do next. We have a 90's house. We got a quote for 30k in California

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. Yes I caulked between APL and the drywall. The neater you can get the gaps between the oak and they drywall the cleaner the caulking will be. 30k is steep for sure.

[@2979paul]

Did the first and last riser height change? Since you put new treads over the existing?

[@j_boogie_483]

easy! all you need are a fully kitted workshop with $thousands of tools and machinery

[@RadDadBuilds]

That’s the spirit

[@bradyspage]

How grippy is the Bona anti-slip product? The hardwood stairs in my house are like ice. I have fallen down them 3 times.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Honestly it’s great. Feel smooth to the touch but it’s very grippy. I’ve tried slipping on them and it’s honestly hard. 100% recommend. Just make sure you buy the correct sealer. They come in many tones

[@billystack]

Looks great man! Did you consider cutting the bullnose off and having a 90 degree riser/tread angle?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude, I did but I wanted the extra foot room. I also prefer the look of the angles risers

[@Zmaslanik]

Rad Dad strikes again!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude

[@Zmaslanik]

@@RadDadBuilds really looking forward to the big staircase refresh! 👏🏼

[@abossx]

Looks great! Question though, how come you started from bottom and not too? Just curious if there’s a reason.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks dude, You have to start at the bottom and work up if you want the riser to sit on top of the tread.

[@Tom-sd5ru]

Looks good but y no stair stringer👍

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thanks, this style staircase doesn’t have exposed stringers
