Way to go! This was an amazing project! I admire your "out-of-the-box" thinking and wish I had the ability to see something like this through! Taking your vision and making it yourself, you're a modern and model homemaker! ¡Te aventaste! "Well done!"

I bought this as a gift for my friend ru-vid.comUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

My Financial target is Bitcoin and I will keep investing in it because it’s the only cryptocurrency with the overall best performance in the past few years. The truth is that the volatility associated with bitcoin is what makes it so profitable especially when you trade with a good strategy. Until I started making profits consistency off trading that I believed it was possible. That being said, the market is still all about BTC at the moment and I will advise current investors and newbies to take advantage of the Company/Broker I trade with, a pro company who runs a training program for investors/newbies who lack understanding on how trading bitcoin works, to help them recover loss from the crash and also accumulate more bitcoin with their program. I went from having 1.3btc to 6btc in just 9weeks You can reach me via the comment box or send me a friend request let’s make the best of whatever we can.

@paddiman772 2 года назад

Yep, nice job Rebecca! Years ago, I built some front steps of wood, which I configured to cover up a heavy, very heavy, 3-step concrete set that had sunk horribly down and away from the porch landing. There was no railings either. But after careful measurement, I built mine in the basement shop, then took it apart, reassembling and attaching it to the front porch. I think I constructed mine to have four steps. Like yours, it was a very satisfying construct, and it made the house look so much better! Kudos!

@algio3041 2 года назад

You can save yourself a ton of time by only pre-drilling your corner screws. Especially with treated lumber, that moisture content really makes it resists splitting. There are some other tips that could speed things along, but you found ‘your own way’ of doing it, and that’s very respectable!

God help you if you ever get kick back on the table saw, your standing in the firing range. Always stand off to the left of the blade never behind the wood your cutting. That push stick is too small for the job your doing also. And it needs to be closer to the blade side of the board and not the fence side. A wider push block would be better.

@autova6205 2 года назад

This video started via autoplay. It was playing in the background until I heard you decided on a 20° angle. OK, time to rewind. With 40+ years in the trade, I just had watch. I've worked with a lot of experienced people who can't do angles like that without my help. There's more than one way to skin a cat, but your calculation method was good (you showed it but I'd have to watch again to know if you talked it out) and your comments about exact math and compensating for irregularity in framing lumber are important things to remember. Extra kudos for showing your cardboard template. Everyone I've ever worked with uses an easily cut, disposable material to figure out complex cuts. It saves time and material which = saving money. I did notice as you were finishing the project you were using shorter bits to drive the screws than when you started. I always use the shortest bit possible because it's easier to direct the screw where you want it to go and it's easier to get the tool at the proper angle in and around your work. I generally keep a 2" and 6" in my belt but the 6 or anything longer only comes out when something obstructs my driving angle. My only negative is footwear. For your sake and the safety of your DIY followers, wear boots with steel or composite toe protection, especially when doing heavy lifting. If your original stairs were heavy enough to require core strength to move (kudos again), they're heavy enough to break bones, crush, mangle or even sheer off toes. I have a steel toe boot that had to be cut off my foot when a pallet of lumber was dropped on it 20 years ago. I also have all 6 toes. Just kidding, but my right foot has the 5 toes I was born with.

@davidhampton6502 3 года назад

Super job! Love a woman who isn't afraid to tackle something like this. Impressed with your angled cuts etc. Only pointer... When building decks and or steps, put your risers on first and cut them level with the framing structure. Then overlap the risers with your decking and steps. On your side piece/door, install it first and overlap with the risers so your cut edges are on the side.

I am about to install a composite deck and viewed your video. You certainly took on a challenge by incorporating all the angle cuts. You managed to get through the project quite effectively. I applaud your creativity, hard work, and stamina. Through your effort and the various comments generated from your video, I was able to learn some helpful lessons particularly about the composite product installation. Those clips are a nice touch. Too bad they are not available for the step treads. Compliments to you for taking on this challenge. As I close, and I hope you don't mind my suggestion; please be careful. Take added precaution with your tools. Strive for optimum positioning to ensure perfect balance and control of the tool with adequate separation between blade/bit and yourself. Thank you again for the video. I learned and appreciated what you shared.

Better in theory than practice. Hyper-industrious women are incredibly particular and never shut off. My entire family is full of them and I am an industrious male. The problem with a woman vs a man being this way is they get some really braindead ideas sometimes and they won't let go of them and push and push and push to get something done or set the way they want it to be. As soon as the tidal wave of stress they created is over they are dreaming up the next project or thing they want to tackle. Don't get me wrong its a great trait and they keep houses clean and kids ears washed. But be ready to be drained of energy from helping with her ideas or fighting the prospect of doing them.

@ajs96350 3 года назад

Truck and a chain! For future reference, when you say it's 20 degrees the other way, subtract 20 from 90 and that's the angle you were cutting, if you wanted to miter the risers with the side trim, that angle is 70 degrees so if you mitered the riser and side trim each at 35 degrees, that should line up perfectly. They look great, good job.

@ronlaverdiere 3 года назад

Also, needs to learn about table saw safety. Nothing scares me as much as a table saw - and from recent research it is statistically the most dangerous wood working tool. When she uses the push stick, she should be pushing closer to the blade (not the fence) or else she encourages kick back. At 4:48 you can see how close she is to the fence with the stick. Some scary videos will show how a table saw can end things very quickly.

Couple things you forgot(watch the video again): -she also demo + move the old stairs (safety warning kids: lift with your feet, not with your back); also use the appropriate tools for the job like a hacksaw/demo saw/demo hammer/big crowbar -he got the "almost on my cute butt" touch/squeeze, so they are also lovey-dovey -I think both are pretty fit -safety warning #2 kiddos: don't sit behind a running saw (when she cut/shave the short pieces), but to the sides; It could kick a piece pretty hard sometimes, and it's cheaper than an ER visit with a piece of wood impaled into you! -safety warning #3: was this a construction video? where? All I saw was legs, bootty, 6-packs and boobies(traps) Overall, a 9.5 for consistency, persistence and actually doing a project Now back to your question: -go to home depot -buy 2 2X4's + a 2'X2' piece of plywood + some screws. They could cut the 2X4 to table legs length for you -go home and assemble as a table - early morning go make a good foamy coffee + some croissants - get the table, cup of coffee + warm croissants in the bedroom while wifey still sleeps -kick (literally) her out of the bed -she will give you a EARPIECE for the next 10-15 minutes (important! Be indifferent) -than, she will realize what you just did for her -insert you favorite morning (cough cough jump jump hump hump) tiring "snack" -you just become her shinny knight-in-armor Next, comes various safety warning before her touching any tools, like which end to touch and which end of a nail to use. Important to keep fingers count = with 10 , plus to keep cuts + scrapes count closer to 0. Of course there are also girls that will put an engine back together after opening it to pieces with no problem.

Challenging things give you an incredible sense of accomplishment, and you knocked it out of the park with this 1. Sadly I know Contractors that don’t put in any where near this kind of effort and sense of pride you put into your work.👍👍👏👏👏 looks fantastic and should last yins decade’s 🍻

@justinroger8716 2 года назад

When moving heavy objects, get some broom handles, or small diameter PVC tubes (PVC will not break-promise), tip up with the two wheeler (like you did), or a crow bar and kick the rollers under... then roll it instead of sliding it. Awesome job!! Congratulations.

That was a great upgrade of the stairs. I loved also the remove style of the old one 🤣 i think it was a cartoon style 😂🤣

@bobfeeney9294 2 года назад

Fantastic job, Melissa! I do my share of DIY projects - I use them as a constant "confidence course". I just finished a nice pergola, and my next project will be adding wraparound steps to my deck. Like you, I enjoy the challenge of doing it alone if possible, solving problems as they come along - it really builds confidence! I'm so glad I found your channel! Of course, I subscribed, and have just followed you on Instagram. Please keep up the great work!!

Very helpful. Easy to understand descriptions. You really did a great job on the project AND inspiring other women to get going on the projects we'd love to do. I'm an old lady about to build exterior curved landscape. But please -for your future back-do ask for help in moving such heavy things. Your future old lady back will thank you.

I have three battery drills, never thought about using both of them on a repetitive project. I always interchanged using the other toys I have in the tool bag. I like what your doing much better
