    As a retired woodworker/machinist, it's a pleasure to watch someone build a staircase using old school techniques. I used to groove my risers to accept the treads, then wedge and screw them. As a sidenote for those who aren't in the trade, if one step is even only 3-4 ml taller than all the others (which it shouldn't be, but it happens), people will trip on it every time they use the stairs going up, so accustomed are we to how a staircase should feel. I learned that the hard way when I had to repair one such staircase in a yacht many years ago.
    My only question is why you don't use a jig and a router to groove the stringers for the treads, it's a lot quicker, cleaner, and you only have to square the back corners off when you're done. In any case, great video, and a nice staircase to boot! :)
    P.S. A Makita circular saw still going after 40 years!!! Unbelievable!!

    I watch many DIY house renovation videos and hardly ever see anyone applying termite treatment to wood. They also don’t use pressure treated lumber. Pine, according to some references, is a wood that termites really like to eat while they tend to avoid cedar (my favorite wood), redwood, or the heartwood of trees.
    Termites voraciously eat the cellulose in wood, cotton and paper products for energy (books, cardboard, cotton fabrics, wallpaper). I’ve read that they can also eat sheetrock and drywall. Redwood contains tannin, making it termite and fire resistant. It is moisture and mold-resistant as well and a good structural lumber.
    Do you ever use termite treatment and if so what brand?

That's why I would to see a video on Mr. Shoyan's bad day, when things didn't go as planned. I think we all have bad days at work, specially when we're starting on a profession. Therefore I would like to see or hear how Mr. Shoyan deals with problems at work after so many years of experiences.

I used 3- 4 x 4 gapped per tread, mortising everything into 4 x 12 jacks. 42 years later the stairs are still in great shape, used daily.

    I wish this level of craftsmanship was in our homes built in the USA. The model here for homes is assembly line construction where cheap materials are used that hide poor work. The home built here in the USA has a shorter life span than houses built here before the 1970’s. I grew up with a father that was a carpenter and learned from him. I am considered slow compared to the speed younger carpenters work at because I still see the work as a craft not a pay check.

      @@Spencer-e2v the simpleness is not what I alluded to, it was the level of quality, from hand planning every inch of the lumber to the bevels used in the rabbets. In most houses in the USA the amount of craftsmanship isn’t there. I am not saying that all houses don’t have it, just the majority. The fact that you have used “top” quality material is enough to know you built custom houses. The amount of money and time going in to a custom house doesn’t allow for mass production of house like we have in the USA. I can take you to any subdivision in any city in any state and show you exactly what I am referring.

    I love watching every one of your videos. I'm a hobbyist carpenter myself (not a professional). Something I wonder about is that I have always been taught to allow for wood movement across the width of wide boards as over time the tend to expand when the air is damp and contract when the air is dry. This often involves not fully securing both edges of a wide board. Your techniques seem very different in this regard. Are conditions in Japan less likely to result in wood changing width with the seasons?

    He looked it over and told me to try plugging it in. It fired up instantly.
    Ever since then, it has been a good circular saw.
