You make it look easy, but for those watching who have not done it before, I would like to stress, that stair making is the most unforgiving capentry. Your methodical aproach is excelent! The prep and design alone can take many hours. Thanks for posting Paul, this film will help many carpenters for years to come. Best wishes and God bless, Lucas
Howdy Lucas- you are so correct on the stairs. It does take some planning and figuring. Like most projects I have to build it in my mind and then put it to work. Stairs are one of my favorite things to do. Like the wooden ship you are doing, it’s such a great pleasure to look back on what was accomplished and enjoy the satisfaction of following through. God’s blessings to you brother
I have watched a lot of your videos doing various things and building things and I wish I had just a small spoonful of your talent...
Howdy Johnny- thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate you watching our videos. Merry Christmas and God bless
Reminds me why my body aches. Beautiful work brother! Peace on Earth. Earl
Howdy Earl- yeah, I can relate to that lol. Thank you so much for watching our video. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours
This guy's cuts are so precise that it's like ASMR for people like me who are OCD
Howdy Luke- I got a little OCD in me also lol. I came up under my Dad who was a perfectionist and he allowed no margin for error. Thank you so much for watching the video and for your nice comment. God bless
A very ingenious way to maximize the space. Looks good from this side of the river. Finally got to view after the gathering. Be seeing you.🤠
Howdy Brother Art- I think it’s going to work out pretty good. Hope all is well with y’all. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family
Have a blessed CHRIST '''b-day''', my righteous friend. Hoping for a great 2023 of great content. Stay safe,
Howdy Artemus- thank you so much. God’s blessings to you and a very Merry Christmas
You are a smart man enjoy watching your video watched you build the cabin first I am a finish carpenter have been for 44. Years have done a lot of trime work and stair work ounce helped a friend of mine add 3 rooms on the back of a200 year old log house we restored the complete 2story 4 rooml housel .l built a stair case in it cutting 3 stringers from 5 by 12oak beams all open space with 1" oak treeds and trimmed the complete house and the house was the second oldest house in alamance county Burlington nc those were some of the best working days of my life look forward to seeing you in the future thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge see you soon.
Howdy Christopher- thank you so much for watching our video and for your kind words. I’m sure the log house you got to do is beautiful! I would reckon your stairs are going to be there a long time. Those are really stout! Take care and God bless you
This explanation is very good in regards to the absolute most common error made, when building stairs. Calculating the material width of your finished treads into your rough framing is an absolute must. As well as considering the finish material at the top and bottom of the stair set. EVERYONE messes this up on their first or second try at building stairs. For someone just trying to learn how to build stairs, I would suggest watching this 2-3 times, just to let this critical point really soak in. Otherwise you won’t get it right, guaranteed and the fix is usually having to start over with new stringer material.
I’ve always found it helpful to make several sketches first, detailing all of the dimensions that are going to go into your stair. You’d be surprised how helpful that can be.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for watching the video and for the nice comment. I came up under my Dad who was a master indeed. God bless
Excellent quality. That is a puzzle to figure out for sure. I really love how solid that is. I do hear you about the very top underneath, there really was not much bearing surface to attach to. It looks really solid for sure. Thank you again for the high-quality video, and thank you for the editing.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for the kind words. I wish I had of had a few more inches to work with. I feel like I have the top stringers attached to the beam so that they will hold well. My wife is the one who does all the editing. I’m not allowed around a computer lol. Take care and God bless
What a great video. I surly enjoyed watching you build those stairs. I look forward to seeing how they turn out once the red cedar is on them. Thank you for making good, clean, informative, videos. Your Christian example is evident in all your content.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much. I sure appreciate you watching the video. Just about finished with them and will have a video out soon. Took some time off through Christmas. Take care and God’s blessings to y’all
Layout and planning, that's key!
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for watching our video. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family
Wonderful craftsmanship, laying out those stairs was great to see
Howdy Michael- thank you so much for the kind words. I sure appreciate it. Hope all is well. Take care and God bless
Hi Paul, that is without doubt the simplest way I have ever see switchbacks built. Amazing. Y'all be blessed this Christmas and thanks showing us that.
Howdy Simon- thank you so much for the kind words. I have to keep everything simple because I’m pretty much a simple man lol. Thank you for the Christmas blessing and I pray you and Sarah have a blessed Christmas
Yes, Paul. That would be a pretty good jump. Shalom.
Howdy y’all- yeah, that’s a really long jump for me haha. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours
Amazing work
Howdy Lois- thank you so much. Merry Christmas and God bless
Make s me think about the Old Carpenter i worked for in 83 ,. he showed me that , always check .the crowns & turn em up !! I sure learned alot from Him .

Howdy y’all- I appreciate you watching our video. Merry Christmas to y’all and God bless
First time I’ve seen switch back stairs. Genius! You made good solid stairs, using very little space. I enjoyed watching you create them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Paul and family 🎄💕😊
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for the kind words. This was the only way I could get a set of stairs in that would be safe and comfortable to climb. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours
Them stairs will hold a tank! Great job as usual! Merry Christmas buddy! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Howdy y’all- thank you so much. I figure they will stay there. Merry Christmas and God’s blessings to y’all
Great work looking good as usual that job can make you scratch your head I’m sure 😂
Howdy Brian- thank you so much. I kinda had to sneak this set of stairs in lol. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas to y’all
Thank you and merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄
Hi Paul.
What a clever way to save space, and still have some solid stairs, to get up to the first floor.
Happy new year and all the best from the Swedish woods
Michael
Howdy Michael- thank you so much for the kind words. Doing this type of stairs was the only way to be safe and comfortable to climb. Hope all is well with you. Happy New Year and God bless
I'm not a carpenter or builder and yet I thoroughly enjoy listening to your explanations and watching you create perfections. Happy holidays.
Howdy Wiley- thank you so much for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed watching the video. God bless and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family
When I’m talking to our friend I can hear you working away on the cabin. I’m hoping to see it before they move in! That’s a beautiful design for stairs!
Howdy Sweet Jan- yeah, I have a tendency to make a lot of noise lol. Next time you’re down I’ll give you a royal tour. Won’t cost you nothing haha. God’s blessings to you and your family and a very Merry Christmas
Great video very interesting to watch
Howdy Chuck- thank you so much for the kind words. God bless and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours
Happy Holidays
Howdy Joe- thank you so much and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours. God bless
Hope to sell the idea to a client some day and try this for myself! Awesome work brother! Thank God!
Howdy Joe- that would be great if you could build a set. Thank you for watching the video and for the kind words. God bless you
Sure is handy having the sawmill, eh? Great stairs - thanks!
Howdy y’all- yes, it is! In fact we sawed the first log a year ago today. The temperature was a whole lot different. We had 80 degrees Christmas Day and now we are in a real cold spell. God bless and a very Merry Christmas to y’all
Merry Christmas 🎄
God Bless ❤
Howdy y’all- thank you so much. God’s blessings to you and a very Merry Christmas
Nice angel on stairs

Building stair’s always gave me a headache. Paul you make it look easy.
Howdy Preacher- yeah, sometimes you have to do some thinking for sure. Hope all is well with y’all. God bless
Wow
You are exceptional my friend.
Howdy Ken- thank you so much for the kind words. Hope y’all had a great Christmas. May the Lord Bless y’all in the New Year
@@TheBeardedCarpenter We did, and wishing you a happy new year as well.
Greetings Mr Bearded Carpenter. Thanks for your videos.
Wish you and the family a happy new year.
/EZ
HyEZ- thank you so much for watching our videos. Hope 2023 is good to you. God bless
Howdy Paul, that's going to turn out nice. Some sycamore would make a good log handrail for that and it colors the same as red cedar logs with spar urethane. Brings out the blacks on the surface. Merry Christmas my friend and God bless y'all
Howdy Kevin- thank you so much for watching the video. I have never worked with sycamore before. I’ll have to try it sometime. Thanks for telling me about it. God’s blessings to y’all and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family
Nice set of stairs!! I got behind a bit on your vids i guess. Hope youre all doin well. STAY SAFE!!
Howdy Brother Travis- thank you so much for the kind words. I understand how a feller tries to keep up. Gotta make a living. God bless y’all
So impressive to see a pro at work. A true professional. A big plus is that your videos don't contain a lot of product placement.
So lovely to see.
Howdy Olle- thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas and God bless you
Just a thought on the way the stair stringers are attached that would be simple, secure and doesn't take up any room: use a plywood gusset as a backer that your stringers face up to. The plywood gusset hangs strait down off the side of your floor beam, effectively extending it down so your stringers can mount to the face just like normal.
Howdy Rock- you have a really good point there. That would have been a good fix for it. If I have this situation again I’ll sure remember that. Thanks brother. Take care and God bless
didn't feel like taking a flying leap? :) Stair layout was perfect and built good and sturdy...like the floor plan too.....Merry Christmas Bro. Paul
Howdy Brother Duke- naw, I can’t jump like I used to until the Lady says jump lol. I sure appreciate you and the kind words. God’s blessings to y’all. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Very nice work... Merry Christmas to you and yours
Howdy Jim- thank you so much. Merry Christmas and God bless
Made my brain hurt a little. But the finished product is awesome.
Howdy y’all- yeah, you have to keep up with what you’re doing when doing stairs like that. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours
Nice set of stairs, great job as always.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for the kind words. God’s blessings to you and a very Merry Christmas
@@TheBeardedCarpenter.... And a Merry Christmas to you as well.
I sure like them stairs, they really look nice, I like the space that they take you, I really like watching your videos, hope y’all have a great new year’s
Howdy Roy- thank you so much for watching our videos. I sure appreciate it. Hope y’all are doing well and enjoying the holidays. We got a house full of our kids. God’s blessings to y’all and Happy New Year
Ok! That was a lot to figure out! The layout on the floor is pretty slick way to help along👍 Merry Xmas Paul
Howdy Marc- yeah, the layout on the floor is great for a reference. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas. God bless
I was pleased to see your video and above all gladly listened to your explanations. Good job. Merry Christmas Paul even to your family. Blessings
Howdy FD- thank you so much for watching our videos and for all the support. Our beautiful daughter you prayed for is with us and doing wonderful. May the Lord bless you and watch over you this Christmas
Really beautiful work!

Beautiful work Mr Paul. Merry Christmas.
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for the kind words. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God’s blessings to you
Looks incredibly solid. I hope you and your family have a great, albeit cold, Christmas!
Howdy Gregg- thank you so much. I think it’s gonna stay there. We are enjoying some really cold weather here. Got the fires burning for sure. God’s blessings to you and a very Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas !! beautiful work !!
That’s fantastic work Paul! Looks great! Looks like a beautiful cabin Paul!
Howdy Redbird- thank you so much for the kind words. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours
That's a sweet and solid set of stairs there eh! Thanks for sharing... Merry Christmas to you and your family
Howdy Denis- thank you so much for the kind words. God’s blessings to y’all and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family
This entire build has been amazing to me. I would think that a price really could not be put on the cabin. A bag of screws rather than a box of screws. I wonder if you will have a concealed storage space under the stairs. I will wait and see. Have good days!
Howdy Buddy- this cabin is for a real close friend of mine who is helping me with my projects. You may have heard me speak of him as “Brother” Wayne. There will be a storage area underneath the stairs. Since it is a small cabin every bit of space needs to be utilized. Hope y’all had a great Christmas. God bless
Hi Paul, Great Video. Do you think you'll ever do a video on how you electrified the cabin. I would be very interested in that. Thanks, Love your channel.
Howdy Gary- the owner did the wiring in his cabin. When I work the logs out I drill holes in the them for the electrical. The holes are lined up from the bottom sill log up through the top plate log. It’s not that difficult to wire a log cabin if you prepare for it in advance. I still have the wiring to do in the cabin I started building on our property and I will show how it’s wired. Take care and God bless
Thank you brother Paul for this excellent masterclass, it was very informative. And merry Christmas and a happy 2023, to you and your loved ones.
Howdy Luc- I appreciate you watching our videos and for the nice comments. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours. God bless
Awesome job Mr. Paul Merry Christmas and Happy New Years
Howdy- Donald- thank you so much for the kind words. Hope y’all had a great Christmas. And Happy New Year to you and yours. God bless
Merry Christmas Paul, and family! Wow, I never would’ve thought about doing stairs like that. I’d probably just use a ladder! 😂🤣😂 Stairs sure would be better for carrying stuff up there ... and safer for an old guy like me! Nice work, as usual 👍🏻
Howdy Chris- doing the switch back was the only way to get a set of stairs that would be safe and comfortable to climb. And you ain’t an old guy. I like to say we are just mature guys lol. Hope you had a great Christmas. Take care and God bless
are you related to Rembrant because those stairs are a work of art ,and red cedar next will be beautiful
Howdy Bill- don’t reckon I ever met him lol. I sure appreciate the kind words. Much appreciated and very encouraging. God bless y’all and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours
a nice big chunk of angle iron lag bolted in the floor joist and the runner to the top stair would be a good overkill way to ensure it goes nowhere
Howdy y’all- a section of angle iron wouldn’t be a bad idea, but I don’t think it’s going anywhere. Thank you so much for watching the video and commenting. Take care and God bless
Beautiful work as always! Thanks for sharing and have a great Christmas and New Year!
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for the kind words. God bless and a very Merry Christmas
Paul você é um excelente carpinteiro.trabalho maravilhoso.. feliz natal pra ti
Masterclass as always Paul! Huge thanks for sharing with us and hope you and the family/friends have a good xmas/festive period. Be safe and see you on the other side of xmas!
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and your kin. God bless
I'm in the process of designing my stairs to my timber frame log cabin ,,,,I'm wanting to use Osage orange discs rounds with live edge on them for my steps but I'm wanting to make the stairs more of ramps than steps for my dad n company that can't step up on stairs but walk up a ramp ,,,,it's a job in,process and design ,,,,,,but I'm only working withun a small area ,,,,but I get alot of great info from your videos and I will take your info and work it in with mine ,,,😁
Howdy Dennis- stairs can be tricky but when you know how the basics work you can pretty much figure out what to do. Working in limited area makes it a bit more challenging but I’m sure you will make it happen. I’ve built handicap ramps before and they take a look of space. Our codes are 12” run per 1” of height. Merry Christmas and God’s blessings to y’all
Info I really need to know. Sent you a picture of the corner enclosed stairs from the cabin I am currently drawing in NC. Common on all cabins needing stairs,.enclosed to control heat or cool, all 45 like your doing. I like all the bracing.Excellent, Blessings
Howdy Thomas- thank you so much for watching the video. I got your email, thank you for the picture. Stay safe and warm. God’s blessings to y’all and a very Merry Christmas
Hello, we have appreciated all your advice regarding options to fix and repair our family dove cabin. My latest problem of 3 rotten logs behind the chimney has clouded my bigger problem. How to repoint and repair the back side of the chimney. Any shoot like devices or suggestions would greatly help. As usual love your videos. Not that it matters but I am working alone after a hired handyman got me for $😩 . So now solo it is. Thanks again . Point looks amazing btw.
Howdy y’all- getting behind the chimney without removing the logs will be a challenge. Could you remove the chinking and pump some kind of cement in there? Unfortunately, if the flashing on the chimney gives way there can be water get behind and cause damage. It might be possible to cut out the rotten pieces and replace them. Not being able to actually see it it’s a bit difficult to tell you exactly what to do. Hope you can get it fixed up. Sorry about your helper. Take care and let me know how it’s going. God bless y’all
THIS place is for himself,..
hello, i just say hy, to you sir, i just start to make my own log cabin ❤
Howdy- I sure wish you the very best with your cabin build. If I can help just let me know. God bless
👍👍👍
Howdy y’all- thank you so much for watching the video. God bless and a blessed Christmas to you and your family
Love it! Fine work. Do you have a planer?
Howdy brother- thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated. Yes, I have a 15” shop planer. Couldn’t get along without it. God’s blessings to you
Now I see why you were scratching your head at the beginning of those.
Howdy Brother David- I got it figured out and still have some hair left lol. Merry Christmas and God’s blessings to y’all
Wouldn't it have been better if you put the top steps against the wall? Was there a reason why you did not do that? Oh, was it because of the wood stove?
Howdy Kernix- if the top stringers had been right against the wall it would’ve been difficult to get on them. They are attached to the upper platform which is against the wall so actually the weight of the stringers is against the wall. It would have taken up a lot more room. That’s the reason for doing a set of switch back stairs. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours
Will we see them Completed?
Howdy Bob- there is a video, part 2 that shows the finished stairs. Hope you enjoy the video. God bless
How old are you?
Howdy Joyce- I’m keeping that a secret lol. I will say I’m as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth lol. Thank you so much for watching the video. Take care and God’s blessings to you
So glad to find your channel again! Glad to see you doing so well! Hey I was wondering why your top length of stairs were not ran against the timber wall instead of floating out there. Is that to save floor space? I was just thinking that the timber wall would give you a bit more of stability for that section. But I can see it would waste more floor space. Your video is helping me figure out my house stairs. I have a walk down to my cellar that is giving way and falling. It is curious because it seems to rely upon a lot of tension to hold the whole run of stairs above it. It reminds me of the old Jesuit mine death traps. So I am doing more head scratching than diving into it headlong.
Howdy Bonnie- the upper section of stairs is supported by the higher platform that is against the log wall so the log wall is actually pushing against the bottom of the upper stringers. The upper stringers are anchored on the bottom of the second floor joist, which is not my favorite thing to do, but I was short on distance between the joist and upper platform. I really needed another 7” to be able to put the stringers against the joist. Hope this explains your question. God bless and a very Merry Christmas to you and your kin
@@TheBeardedCarpenter It looks sturdy as they come and thanks for the explanation! Your videos are like taking a master class so glad your channel popped up in my feed once again.
