Japanese woodworking - Straight Staircase Installation 

It's an electrical plane I guess.

Like a circular saw with a router blade

Makita makes one. Check out for instance, Makita 3803A.. but don't expect one to be cheap. Probably hard to justify unless you do this type of work professionally. Could always use a plunge router and spherical bit.

@@zaknefain100...Yes, a router will do all of the things this tool can.

@John Johnson...Look up Makita 3800N-A

Squeaking is usually caused by wood moving against a fastener. Usually nails will cause squeaking since they have low pullout strength. This method of dado joinery reinforced with screws and wood glue is almost a guarantee that this staircase will last for generations as long as the house stays in good shape and is properly cared for. 🙏🏻

@@kevinkeenan1368 our stairs are made like or similar to this, routed into side boards, however the only connection between treads and risers are nails(strangest looking nails ever, square edges and one sided heads, very hard to pull out but have no holding power at all) with mitered timber blocks under, no dados. I have never seen a staircase that doesnt squeak ever. Also, timber boards used arent as thick as boards used in this video and they sure dont look good as this beautiful masterpiece, they usually have carpet and underlay on them. I have tried fixing squeaks on several staircases with screws and timber blocks under but that is always seems to be a short term solution. So you think if I build something like this (thicknes, screw, dados etc) I would have squeak proof staircase? Thank you.

@@bluewanderer9903 Don't forget the glue!

@@bluewanderer9903...These stairs are built with a housed stringer. I've built many of them and loved the finished results each time. I used 2 X 12's #1 dense grain SYP as the stringer (milled on a planer to 1 3/8" thickness and 10 7/8"-11" wide. These dimension usually get rid of all the manufacturers' planed radius edges of the boards. Smaller dimensions can be used if the boards are cupped or need to be straightened). They require a lot of time, maybe 2-6 weeks to construct, depending on their complexity. Also The #1 dense specification is expensive but it usually has very few knots or at least only small ones. Fir lumber of the same spec as the SYP also makes a beautiful staircase! Squeaking stair treads can be corrected it the housed stringer (like this carpenter used) is dadoed into the stringer ON AN ANGLE at the lower edge 1/4"-3/8" wider on the back side of the risers and the same on the bottom side of the tread and a wedge is driven in to hold the risers and treads to great tightness. When a new squeak is noticed go under the stair case and drive the wedges tighter. After a few years (20-40) of tightening the wedges most stairs cease to squeak or squeak only one or two treads every 20+ years. Use wood screws and only use wood glue on the ends of the riser and tread boards for sealing the ends against moisure but not for holding power. Remember the wedges and screws take care of ALL of the holding. NOTE)..There are images on the internet of the dadoes cut into stringers that I tried to describe. I'm an old guy with 50+ years experience in construction. I've been there and done a lot of things....but still looking for new challenges.

You should all hate reasons to hate. 13 steps are beautiful

13 only freaks Christians out.

The fact that the Knights Templar were arrested, tortured to extract confessions of heresy, and then burned at the stake on Friday the 13th; it has nothing to do with steps, even gallows built with 13 steps.

@Siggy Chaloupka...There are 3 bacis rules for designing and constructing safe and comfortable stairs. Not accepting 13 steps in a staircase is not a part of any of these rules!😄

@@arkansas1336 it was a joke based on what he said in the video 😂
