I literally didn't know how to cut stringers . Watched thus video like 5 times went to home depot got my wood and cut me 6 step stringers. Made perfect sense. Thanks, I'm now redoing my grandma's steps.

Those knuckles on the square are an excellent idea. Thanks man

The end cut on these would have failed inspection in my area. Using a hand saw or high end jig saw to finish off the corners without over cutting is the only way allowed

I'm building a set of stairs for my 1913-built house. Neither the porch or the concrete landing is level. With the concrete being unlevel left to right and front to back. It's a load of fun.

First one took me 2 hours! Tomorrow trace the stringers! !!

Also id add how to cut the amount off the bottom for the flooring (too and bottom) generally 3/4 or 1 1/4 right?... as well as explain a “kicker”... mahalo for your videos!!!

Thank you! I never use a skill saw and was worried about kickback and how to remove the saw properly when making a cut that doesn't go all the way across. I was also wondering about starting cuts from a corner (which this method eliminates). Thank you again, this was very helpful! It is so simple :)

I know inspectors that would fail this work. Over cutting on stair stringers is a big NO. Finish cuts with handsaw, nice and clean.

Yikes, this is a fantastic video on how to cut stringers in a sloppy and disastrous way.

Didn't take off tread thickness on first step, over cut every one and get yourself a proper hand saw not one that folds.

[theheyseed]

way too sloppy cutting beyond the line, I was wondering why you didn't show a close-up until I saw the knock out.
Do not follow this video if you want safe stairs.

I would like to learn how do I figure how many steps do I need from any deck height? let say I have 8’ ft high deck? Thanks

[elohimbeans]

Video is incomplete you dnt mention the cut at the bottom and top only the run/rise cuts a lot of ppl are goin to waste time money and materials because of it

[donhuffer]

3/8” max one step can be off. Not the entire run. Look at the code.

Lazy carpenters always overcut stair treads.😅

[vaughnlucifer]

Most inspectors fail for a cut through, sad you spent all that time marking with a pen but can't use a circular saw

Pica dry, we all own one and still use regular pencils haha 😂 diamond back and Milwaukee gear, love seeing companies using wicked gear, means they probably pay their guys well!

[danthechippie]

I don't think that saw is a worm drive. Skill are the only people producing worm drive saws to the best of my knowledge

[alexbernal]

Unsafe stairs, extending the cuts create stress concentrations at those corners, they can break easily under heavy loads

[giuliani]

They don't take you through it step by step. All they do is let you watch them mark it out and cut it. There are other video's out there that will actually help you. Horrible video.
