First Time Building Stairs - Everything You Need To Know (Part 2)

First time building stairs? Today is part two on how to figure and cut stairs for the first time. In this video we are checking the fit of our first stringer, making some adjustments, and then learning how to install them using three different methods.

I have built stairs before, but this is one of the best how-to videos I've seen and you explain the process very well. Well done!

Your parts 1 & 2 are the best 'stair layout & building' tutorial I've seen on YouTube. Very professional, well done!

[johnmurphy]

I just watched your 2 part video series on stringers.
These are by far the best and easiest instructions on stair being on YouTube. Excellent tutorial Lad. Thank you. 👍👍👍

Excellent video, every time I would think of a question, you'd then answer it. You're a very good teacher with great presentation, thank you.

Hi, Thank you very much for this video. I had to remove the bottom 3 steps at a friends house to have basement waterproofing put in. To build the new steps, I purchased 3 step stringers, steps and risers. I realized I would have to figure out how get stringers attached to existing stair case, and thought, I might need to some how build a plywood stand. Your video though showed me the perfect way to attach stringers to plywood and plywood to existing stairs. Now here are 3 new steps where yesterday there were none. Great job. Very clear.

Thank you for explaining how to calculate stairs and build them. I am 71 and I have been trying to get a contractor for nearly a year. I have decided to build my own porch steps. Thank you for your help.

By far the best video that Ive seen on stair building. Thank You!

[gerardoflores]

Thank you, youngster, Ive searched others DIY Utubers. And I do appreciate them. But you keep it simple and right to the objective.
First time doing the DIY route. I was a lil hesitant at first, but once I started... It's ON!
The house is not on fire - I am! Don't be surprise if I do a whole small house in our backyard!
Thank you. And God bless

[arpadbrecska]

Thanks for the metric units! It's really nice of you and it makes much more easier for us to follow it.

[olegs]

Really helpful. Initially I was considering to weld a stair case from the metal but your approach has persuaded me to go with a wood!
