Stringer Layout Using Framing Square - Stair Building Tips 

Thanks a lot for the input, sometimes things look good to me but not others and I appreciate you taking the time to point it out.

Thanks

I realize that this might not have all of the info you're looking for. It was a test video. Go to our channel or website for more information. We also have a few books on stair building. Thanks Greg

Great Video

If this is Ricky Ricardo, can't you have Lucy help you more Fred and Ethel, just kidding. I realize this is hard to believe, but there are some people who need to hear it and see it one way and others who need to hear and see if other ways. Go to the website and check out the section how to build stairs, for more information.

I checked out your website. I was trying to quickly learn how to build steps this morning before I go and do it for the first time. Your site seems a little out of order. Learning how to lay out the stringer should come right after learning how to determine tread and riser lengths. I had to search around for it and found it about 20 ticks down on the list. Also a couple of your links go to the wrong place. A little too much chit chat as well, but over all I appreciate what your trying to do. You might want to give that website a once over to make it easy :)

Start from either end with your layout.

It sounds like you need more stair building tips visit out web site at stairs4u

watched 3 or 4 of your vids and all you doing is over explaining everything.way to much talk and not enough live action where ppl can watch the the marking take place ...remember, actions always speak louder than words...ppl can't even put Ikea products together without 9 other ppl helping them

That is called parallax error.

I mean just put the framing square clips on take a 2x12 and use the square and make some treads and risers. You don't have to go into all this blah blah blah blah blah explanation put the clips on there show you show people how to flip it over do your top cut, cut the treads and the risers and then show them how to do the bottom riser. Everything sometimes people do is so complicated it takes forever you spent almost 2 minutes showing a picture of a framing square said at 10 in you know what you talk people nothing.

Your video camera work needs work from the angle it look like square is set so 11 and 33/64 not 11 and 1/2
