@bomark2002 11 дней назад

FINALLY!! A video on this stuff from a guy that’s not up on himself trying to sound like a real smart guy considering the professional and the DIY’er I will use this as my guide. Awesome explanation and didn’t take two hours telling us why we need steps and how steps can improve our lives, straight to the point hitting every angle, wow you have one a subscriber.

@jonselden 6 лет назад

This dude is my hero! I watched about 6 million youtube videos yesterday trying to figure this out and this guy explains it perfectly in 5 mins. Where were you when I was in pre-calc?

@bomark2002 11 дней назад

I did too, searched for a couple of days

@MrGiggioLuis 4 года назад

By far the best tutorial on stairs. Simple, useful and clear. Thanks

My first attempt at stairs building, this is by far the best video to get you started, thanks a lot Wayne !!

@sensiblyhonest695 7 лет назад

To everyone below saying that this is the best, easiest to understand video on building stringers.........I could NOT agree more. Good job!

@codyc6020 Год назад

You’re the brother in law

@roder51 9 лет назад

This was the only video that was simple and easy and made perfect sense. The rest of the utube videos by others ...not so much. Thanx a million

@TrueMegaManiac 5 лет назад

Best tutorial ever for stair stringers. Absolute legend.

@davidlarson2640 7 лет назад

First time deck builder. Could not have built stairs without this video. Every other video I've watched is total crap. Thanks dude!

@sendapez 8 лет назад

Wow, thank you!!! I've gone through many videos on how to do this wishing I came across this one first!

@francescacollins3666 5 лет назад

So many videos... So much wasted time until I found yours!! Thank you so much!!! This will be the first place I look from now on!!!!!

@cottagelife 5 лет назад

Thanks Francesca! Any DIYs you might like to see us make?

@joannetaylor2327 9 лет назад

Excellent video. I am an English carpenter so we don't do the amount of framing that you do in the US. We do a lot of fitting of prefabricated items such as stairs and things so it's not very often we get to fab up a stair stringer ourselves. I have done this myself when fitting decking etc and I have, in the past, always referred back to my old apprentice text books until utube came along. I worked on camp america many moons ago doing maintenance and building new cabins etc but when you are not doing something on a regular basis it's always good to do a quick refresher. I must say this is the most concise example I have seen to date. Everything you need to know in real time with no fumbling contradictions! Top notch, many thanks, Paul Bucky UK.

@HeatCheck16 8 лет назад

Finally!! An explanation I can follow. Thank you from the bottom of my math-impaired heart. :) You are an excellent instructor.

@xterra32 12 лет назад

Wayne, Thank you for creating this video. After watching this video (several times) I was able to make some stringers for a small concrete project. The stringers came out perfect thanks in large part to your video. Thanks again!!

@HotChickenLady 6 лет назад

Thank you... I've watched so many stair stringer vids and this was by fair the easiest to understand/follow.

@pixhilaration 12 лет назад

Thank you Wayne. Clear and easy to follow. Also your tip about using an off cut and 2 small clamps (on the carpenter's square) was brilliant, enabling me to get the pencil lines EXACTLY right. My deck stairs are finished!!

@mariusprinsloo1785 5 лет назад

Thank you for making this video really plain and simple, so helpful. It worked out great.

@mbullen6915 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for your help! Your video is the best out there. I went one step further and used cardboard for my template. It worked very well! Just an idea for others to try.

@wandamori10 7 лет назад

This is the best video I have seen on how to build a set of stringers!! Thank you so much Wayne for helping to make our stringers so easy! Really appreciated this video. Take the suggestion and use a scrap piece of plywood/cardboard and layout your stringers first!

@hyabussa5747 2 года назад

2nd that motion "best video on this matter"... motion carried... meeting adjourned

@brucemadden1626 7 лет назад

I've seen quite a few videos for stringers and yours is definitely one of the best; thanks for taking the time to post it.

@ze_german2921 5 лет назад

Thank You Friend, I just finished 4 Stringers today with a 5-1/2" rise at my moms house.

@FOUNDEDEARTHBROTHERS 4 года назад

Thanks for putting this together. I've finished everything but the stairs because I was afraid I'd waste my 2x12s. I'll try to use a piece of plywood like you did. Great idea and excellent job breaking it down.

@webstercat 7 лет назад

Right On The Money! Great presentation that you get to the point quickly. I've looked at dozens but only bookmarked this one!

@markpenn4831 6 лет назад

Fantastic video Wayne, really clear and concise ! I can see you are a consummate professional and made many stairs in your career ! Thanks for the little short cuts using the tools, sign of a real artisan mate! Thank you very much indeed sir !!!

@repurposeklein9848 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for such an easy to follow video!!!! I don't get much help from my husband/son, so have to learn a lot of "how to's" on my own!!!!! Can't wait to get started!!!!!!

@siameezerlady 12 лет назад

Thank you, Wayne, for doing this video - useful information for free is always appreciated. I'm a middle-aged woman who is just trying to learn "how-to" and I need all the help I can get. I just did my first stringer of four today, and it took me awhile because the bottom step to needed to be level with the landing it butts up against, and the top stair needed to be level with the top of the deck, as the apron board is only 6" wide on the existing deck. I did it, thanks to you! Thanks!!!

@RandyK1ng 12 лет назад

@rogerdellerba6986 12 лет назад

Wayne. You did a great job. This is a very useful video for those attempting this at home. 10/10!

@thecanadiancorgi2604 3 года назад

Thank you for the video. I was trying to find some 7 step pre made stringers and was unable to find them in wood, so this will make it super easy to make them myself. Thank you again.

@montehyler 8 лет назад

@robertedulan906 3 месяца назад

Thank you! With your advice I was able to tackle my deck stairs. Many many thanks.

@rvrpropertiesllc 12 лет назад

I used to be a contractor and I now teach Construction Technology to high school students and your video really helped me brush up on cutting stair stringers. Thanks.

@richardcraniumdicksinn3959 4 года назад

Definitely a STEP in the right direction. Gr8 video, well explained. Thanx for sharing 👍👍

@SoccerPhoto 5 лет назад

Excellent video. Provides all the info needed and done in a professional manner.

@justinbaillod4684 Год назад

I marked and cut my first set today doing a deck remodel. I had helped my boss with a stair set last summer so I had an idea of the process, but was nervous to do it on my own job. I wanted to make sure the job was done right. Thanks for the knowledge, I'll use it the rest of my life.

@Idiosyncrasy1977 11 лет назад

Thank you. Your video was priceless. It only took me 5 hours to build my stairs thanks to your knowledge.

@onlyme8870 9 месяцев назад

I was mentally challenged at this due to tbi's I've had. So I went to the store bought a stringer that met code and some stock lumber that would meet code and traced the stringer that met my rise and tread. I poured a platform to have a solid base and bolted a cross bar at the base and knotched my stringer bottom to catch that bottom bar to prevent hopefully from ever losing integrity. Without this video I wouldn't have even thought to do that so thanks for recommending practicing and tracing. Utilized it to match my needs. Soon will be installing the treads. I used simpson hangers and rated screws. Made it much easier for me.

@Serephima 12 лет назад

Thank You Wayne. This stringer will be the first stringer I'm building using a proffessional guide - YOU. Thank You Wayne. I built 2 others before, BEFORE I had Internet, and without proper instructions, I had to figure things out for myself, and things didn't always turn out too successful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I found it very helpful. Oh by the way, that's a really nice dog in your video. I have a Westie too. I notice they like to watch their humans at work.

@GoneCoastal544 5 лет назад

@harperbake 11 лет назад

Thank you for a great video. It makes it so much easier.

@joshrandal6982 2 года назад

The stringer is holding up my project up. I have had a mental block but you went slow and made it so I can understand. BTW you are the ONLY carpenter out of many how to videos who explained the top tread. You did this by simply stating “leave enough for the top tread.” Thank you.👍

@FITMENProductions 3 года назад

Straightforward and simple. Thanks for the instruction

@KirkBullough 12 лет назад

Wayne, I have put off building a deck for 3 years because I didn't know how to do the stringer. I finally built one yesterday and was just going to buy prefab stringers. Then I realized that it would be a lame way to go because one of the stairs would be different. So I watched this video and I just got done making my stringers. They turned out great. I used my square with clamps like you showed. Thanks!!!

@BlazingCoast 13 лет назад

thank you . You've just made building my stairs for my deck a lot easier.

i damage one 2x12 so i look your video and do exactly what you say. wass perfect. thank you !!! 👍 great job.

@libertyss35 11 лет назад

Thank you so much this great,but easy to understand video. I also found several stair stinger calculators on the web that were helpful. If any one gets stuck I'd recommend using one of those. Like he says in this video,make a template out of scrap plywood first. Lumber is expensive.

@danielbranco1993 9 лет назад

I saw several Videos that show how to figure stair stringers, they were not only confusing to a person who knows nothing about framing ,cutting wood material but very annoying, as a framer for 20 + years the only thing that was not mentioned was the "Crown " of the wood to place the layout, but you did a Great job!! couldn't have been explained more accurate and with simple terms , thanks
