    I thank you for putting in an oak staircase. As a sandblaster myself I love the oak staircases instead of the cheap stuff. Oak blasts well and will always give a nice rich look when you finish it.

    Top video Robin 👍 My little tip if anyone interested. Before I put my dowels in I slide them into the newel post before attaching it to the tenon and push it in until it will go no further. I put a line on the dowel as a reference point for when I finally tap them in I know how far I can knock it home to prevent busting the newel post out. It just saves relying on the sound change alone 👌

This has brought back so many memory's of my years of learning days with a really wonderfull all purpose joinary company and I was tought by some amazing Carpenters & Joiners. I started in 1978 and still learning better ways today at the age of 60. Keep up the good work Ed and Robin

    Fantastic craftsmanship as always.
    Takes me back some 40 years when I did my apprenticeship, I always remember the tradesman which taught me say “engineers work to a 1000th on an inch, carpenters work to spot on !

    Nice job Robin and nice to see apprentices being taught properly, you really are a credit to the carpentry and building trade. Years ago we use to have to fit 2 winding flights or 4 straight flights in a day on site work, once you knew the system it was ok. Not much time for a tea break though. We must have been mad, I think they were Boulton and Paul Joinery stairs if memory serves.

    Hi Rob,,,absolutely love your channel,,, i have a small joinery business and specialize in making stairs,, and as you know there is so much satisfaction in making and fitting i nice oak winder with all the trims etc,, You explain things very clearly and have the balance of work and talk just perfect, as i finish a hard day putting together and fitting the latest set, i still come home and fire up the youtube and watch you do exactly the same thing ive done that day,,, much easier watching you Rob,, and your tools are not covered in pu glue like most of mine are.
    May i just say that myself and im sure many others would love to see you measure up and set out a hand made set,
    I dont use a cnc or anything like that,, im an old school chippy 55, who makes it all by hand. Anyway Rob,,, great channel mate, infact its the best channel to watch.

    That is one set of posh stairs. That company makes a good product. Worth the advertising. Back in the early 90's I did the Carpentry work on a new house for a Plumber mate of mine. Every bit of wood in the place was Oak. From doors to stairs to skirts and archs. All on a massive old world style with forged nail on T hinges etc. The Oak came from the mill a couple of miles down the road and all fell in the 87 hurricane. We had the quickest cleared section of road between the mill and the pub as the mill owner was determined to get there and had the machinery to do it. In Oz if I do trenched stairs the timber is often rough cut off a Lucas mill and far from regular. Tolerances have to be somewhat greater.

    Pardon my lack of knowledge, how does a stair like this hold up with regards to squeeking sounds that may occur in time? I know different rubber profiles can be added in order to reduce or avoid squeezing sounds, but maybe you can get away without those, or maybe not and you just assume it's gonna squeeze in time?

    class video. i love a staircase job. last one i did came from a staircase manufacturer in sunderland although he has since retired. it was made on a cnc machine so was absolutely spot on. you are right what you say about them being different. That staircase the middle stringer changed angle in the middle of it so it made the handrail a head scratcher... if i had ran the handrail straight it would have been really high in the middle of the run and then back to normal at the top and bottom of the run. so i had to follow the shape of the stringer with the handrail. It did my head in at the time. That staircase was a double winder.

      Hi Ian, it's a bit niche for my audience so I would only include that content in a video about other aspects of building, however if you are concerned about parts of your build being affected by the late arrival of your windows then try not to get to much done that would take on moisture like plasterboard, joinery etc as it may affect the finishes, especially when you are all sealed up and the heating goes on.. I tend to get the external envelope of the building as complete as possible before we start internal finishes etc

    Good job of fitting but why do they build stairs now without a shouldered tenon and just let in the whole thickness of the string ? and no mortise for the handrail ? Must be to cut costs I guess.

      They are all following the sloping strings parallel, when the hand rails go in then they will look completely different,
