Great job. You've come a long way from building bunk beds with your step brother Brennan Huff. Picked up some great tips here. I'll check out some other videos too
love your video your stairways look amazing. Super professional. But I have a problem, the steps? where did you bought them. Is that wood ? do you go to the store and ask for "Steps for the stairways?? Because it look like you bought real wood and I have a handyman that want to rip me off ..he is telling me I that the steps are not wood. He want to put Vynil on it. !
I used a jig saw to cut off most of it. Then a hammer and chisel for the tiny sections to close to the wall for the jig saw to cut. Doesn't need to be a perfect cut since the riser will cover up the cut.
Use a square that has a movable ruler edge and measure the tip of the nose to the riser, lock that measurement. Then transfer the square to the top of the tread nose to make a line. That is what you will be cutting off. Then use a small battery skill saw to follow that line and finish the ends with an oscillating saw.
Why are all stair treads made of this scrap wood with some white gypsum stuff? I have exactly the same white OSB boards. Where is this coming from? Is this what they usually use for building stairs?
A decent amount of your adhesive won’t be touching anything. You’d be better to just do 8 or 10 equally spaced dots across the board in two lines. Really nice end result though! 👏🏼
The bottom the tread was not finished so the glue stuck fined. Most glue should stick even if the surface is painted. You could give the surface a light sanding if you wanted too. Good luck with your project!
@@wallysworld5518 Yes, the glue will stick to any surface but it will come off easily if the surface is covered by gypsum stuff. I think it will not hurt if you scrape the surface and make glue stick to the wood.
@@rubberdiscoduck I used 15 gauge finishing nails in a battery operated nail gun. I put 4 nails in each step and riser a few inches from each corner. You have to look really hard to notice the nails.
I’m working on mine now .going to buy the jig.so might be a dumb question but the wood for steps you buy at a size then just cut to fit.or did you make them yourself thank you in advance.
How did you transition the last upper step to the carpet on the upper floor ? I am about to do almost exactly what you have and you did. I have a carpeted upper floor like yours and while I want to keep my carpeted upper floor, I want to change my carpeted stairs to hardwood. I just do not know how to approach the transition. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
I left the carpet on the upper floor when I removed the carpet on the stairs. The upper floor carpet wrapped under the ledge that goes over the top step. The riser fit under the ledge and I reattached the upper floor carpet under the ledge of the upper floor. If I could I would post a picture.
The narration is so slow...trust me, people can use the rewind feature if needed...talk faster next time. You didnt show cutting off the bullnose nor the top step. Not very helpful
