Build a Stair Tread Jig 

Man does it make me happy when Im looking up how to do something and you always have a video. Love it brother

After watching I made my own jig. Had some wing nuts in my stash and ply wood scraps, so it cost virtually nothing. I am remodelling our house in Hickman, Tn. Just mounted the newell posts yesterday for railing of the loft/bonus room. I have mounted the risers but not the treads. Want to save some wear and tear on the new finish while work on the railing etc. You videos have given me loads of help. I was an auto mech. by trade so used to working with tools, but this construction stuff is a whole different ball game. Kind of stretches my tiny little brain. Thanks for the help and entertainment.

Outstanding! Glad it helped out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Jeremy. I really appreciate it. Your question is one of those where you might be reading into it a little too much. When I tell you the real reason I cut mine that way you are gonna be disappointed. :-) Ok, here goes, I planed my treads and my planer was acting up so it sniped the ends of the treads. I didn't want that part to show so I centered my cuts in a way that both of those bad ends would be cut off. Simple as that. Ha! If that were not the case I would have done exactly what you are wanting to do and save all that precious hardwood for another project!

That's a great tip. Thanks for sharing and for watching my video. I appreciate it!

I noticed you used sub treads and sub risers in your stairs. I wish more builders would plan them into their stairways. Makes the stairs usable throughout the construction process and really strong with no give what so ever. Great job

tried to make your jig myself. I don't own a table router. I bought a handheld one for like $89 from home depot. I couldn't get it to route straight I even tried to make a jig but id have it tilted up or down some. I see jigs online for $80. cheapest most are closer to $189.00 so I just ordered yours for $75. Good deal because that includes shipping. I've wanted one of these for years will be happy to own one. I am a floor guy but I do mostly tile so I have only done maybe 3 sets of hardwood stairs in 15 years and I just kept re cutting and re adjusting my saw angle for stairs this jig will pay for its self in 1 job in time saved. Thank you for making my work easier.

Thank you, man! Very detailed video and pretty easy to follow steps. You've made my entire stair work explained in a few minutes. Thanks.

Solid, helpful, useful, instructional video. No stupid music or intro clear delivery and you helped me out big time. Subscribed.

I just ran into your work with the FWW miter saw table, and bet you wish you had that as you built this jig. I have an unfinished 2nd story with a VERY rough staircase, and was puzzling over how to do measure the treads and finish it up. You solved that for me. Now, if I can just find the time to get around to that project along with the 183 other projects I have to set up a woodshop in my basement and go to town on working on this 100 year old house with a remodel 60 years ago! I love your attitude, and your attention to detail as you explain your work, and I look forward to building this and other projects after my gardening season here in South Bend, IN.

Repair Extraordinaire Well fitted & done, Great job !

Very cool. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome. I appreciate you watching and for the great compliment!

Thank you for the stair video. Just finished oak stair tread/riser project using a home made jig like the one you described. Everything fit well and the project turned out great. Could not have done it without the jig. Regards, Ray

I've been doing stairs for many years using scrap and then striping in the edges your jig is great and a time-saver good job on your invention

"Perfecter" Love it...

I built your jig about a month ago with the intent of "Uncarpeting" construction grade interior stairs. Just finished the risers today and thanks to your jig I put out 13 perfect risers on all 13 steps. Couldn't be easier. I am looking forward to cutting and installing the oak treads this week. Thanks for the awesome video and the great jig!!!

Great jig idea. Thx for posting the video!

Great video! I was just trying to figure out how to use the jig, but to be shown how to make my own. Priceless!

They say English accents make ppl sound smarter. Well the Southern accent this gentleman speaks with makes em sound friendly/hospitable. Who knows...maybe he drowns kittens for a hobbie...but I doubt it. Cheers from Canada! Thanks for posting. Great video.

Excellent! Very clear and precise demo on the tread and riser installation as well as the building of the jig.

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to show this.

perfeker! You learn new words every day. Great jig. It's perfeker!

It's thundering and raining here in rural south Texas right now. I can't wait till it clears a little so I can go to Home Depot to buy the the hardware so I can build this jig. Thanks for this detailed video.

This is awesome ... thanks a ton BNG. Works like a charm and much faster than using a tape measure.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

Very good video. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

That's the best model for a jig I've seen so far - although I would probably use a metal rule.

Thanks Mr.Nailgun. What a ridiculously simple solution to a problem that can be so complicated. Good thing you came up with it because I certainly couldn't have worked it out! Cheers from Downunder.

Thank you Sir. Exactly what I need for my stair renovation. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you spent explaining this jig and creating a video for my use. Best Wishes.

This could be the great video I ever watched before starting to install hardwood on my three sets of stair well. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts as experts on building stairs to finish. Thank you

BNG, that was the video I have been looking for. Your jig is a great idea. You gave me the confidence to move forward with replacing the stairs in my new home. I will let you know how it turns out. Keep the videos coming. I like the format and pace. I will keep my eye out for your other videos. Thanks
