You make everything sound so complicated its not that hard
Thanks for the comment. @@Masticas.
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!
I just watched your 2 part video series on stringers.
These are by far the best and easiest instructions on stair being on UA-cam. Excellent tutorial Lad. Thank you. 👍👍👍
This is what I've been looking for for a very long time. Thank u so much. Now I can build a stair for my tiny house ❤️
Dude thank you Soo much for these videos. I'm an apprentice metal fabricator I use the same theory from your video to steel work and it came out amazing. You are awesome man
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.
You have done so much more than most can explaining this, Impeccable
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.
I need to build the stairs at my mother’s house and had an idea but didn’t know all the thing you explain very well on both of your videos, I really appreciate it and God bless.
looking forward for the next stairs video :) thank you for these two!
In my area most everyone uses the term template for your pattern piece, mark a big T on the piece, or Temp. love the videos always refer back to some reference when not dones something for a while, and love seeing many others options, building techniques, you have it down good.
Great video!! Thank you so much! Gives a great finish to the process!!
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!
Glad I found your videos the way you explain is spot on thank you man , this content was very helpful 👍💯
Your parts 1 & 2 are the best 'stair layout & building' tutorial I've seen on UA-cam. Very professional, well done!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for the metric units! It's really nice of you and it makes much more easier for us to follow it.
No problem!
Really appreciate your video, it’s the way that you explain things that makes this one of the best instructional videos. I want to make a set of stairs but cutting straight will be my greatest challenge
Thank you! You got this!
Thank you, making back steps from garage into house, everything I needed to know in these two videos. Excited to get started!!
You got this!
Great presenter... speaks very well and nice speed of delivery. My stairs turned out great following Josh’s steps. Thanks. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Great to hear Paul! Cheers!
Thank you for such clear and informative videos part 1 and 2 I’m a diy and I now understand all terminology and math around building stairs best videos ever
You are amazing! Watched 1st two videos,
I'm amazing?? You're the one that was able to watch two videos and then go build stairs! Well done Jeff!!
I’m building the tiniest set of stairs to gain access into our stock tank pool.
These 2 videos are changing my life.
Thank you. I feel like I can do anything now!
Awesome!
Brilliant, now given me the know how to build simple set of stairs for outside, thank you.
Wow! Thank You for the most complete and yet easy to understand guide for the project. I'm replacing our entry stairs on a 120 year old home where the landing bottom step is currently rough and not level. My initial concept is to jackhammer all the very old existing and pour a new slab. I'm undecided on the use of sonotube for the handrails post. Thank You
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
Awesome stuff!
Thanks Josh, good beginner videos.
This was so very helpful! I am going to attempt to put in a two tread stair going into our family room. I am excited!
Let me know if you need any help along the way. :)
By far the best video that Ive seen on stair building. Thank You!
Excellent instruction! Thanks for sharing this 2-part series. Cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
This was a great video. I've done lots of building projects, but never had to build my own stringers. Funny how at 61 years old I can still learn. Again, great job.
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you. Starting to build stairs to trampoline for kids tomarow
Thank you. Good details. Trying it this week!
Best teacher! Thanks for the content!
Thanks Kauer, nice to hear from you!
Awesome job thanks for all the great videos
Good job, thorough, concise, clear. 👌🏼 (the crocs gave me a chuckle).
Those crocs are getting a lot of attention lately... lol! Thanks for the comment Wesley. Be well.
Awesome awesome thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you so much , I can’t even get carpenters to do this for 8 months .Now I’m not overwhelmed with my addition and almost done..
Glad to hear. Nice work Joe!
Your step by step (LOL) instructions were so informative and helpful. I was able to cut 3 stringers and fabricate a set of stairs with 6 steps, each on had 7.5" vertical drop and level! Awesome instructions and thank you!
Great job!! I'm so grateful you took the time to let me know.
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.
I'm excited for you. Enjoy the build. Reach out if you get stuck.
How did they work out?
You are a fabulous instructor. Thank you! Love the crocs!
You're so kind. Thank you.
Excellent job on explaining the process
You’re a beast bro I’m 20 & I’m really trying to expand my knowledge in framing !! Hope to become good as you & help many others who want to learn !
The fact that you are seeking knowledge at your age, puts you in the top 10% of the world! Feel free to email or find my on IG if you have any questions about anything... I'm here to help. 👊
Building stairs from my lanai outside to ground level. This is a great tutorial for us diy people. Very much appreciated.
Thanks for commenting. Let me know how it goes
Great tips and ideas. Thanks.
Great instruction/construction!
Excellent video as was part one. Thanks .let's have more.
Thanks for all the great videos
Glad you like them!
Super helpful video I enjoy your teaching style 🤙🏽
I appreciate that!
This man is clear, concise and comprehensive. I'm grateful for the excellent video! Kudos!
I do my best my friend. Thank you
Outstanding video. Your easy, concise instructions made cutting my first stringer easy (with your help). I have 4 more to cut and then onto the install. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for the comment. I'm proud of you for making the decision to do them yourself! 👊
Loved this. Thank you for including the metric measurements. More often than not , I have to pause the video to convert the imperial measurements to the metric system.Would have liked to have seen the mathematical lesson also millimetres ( perhaps with a different colour beneath the red?)
I look forward to seeing more of your tutorial videos
Zahida, I live in Canada and build stairs for a living. Being educated in the Metric system and knowing how much easier and simpler it is while being forced to work in the US Imperial system (most woodworking and construction) is a real pain.
This is a great instructional video.
@@ruidadgmailcanada8508 Thank you ever so much.
I apologise for the late response but I only saw it this morning.
Yep, great video and thanks for including both imperial and metric! Please keep doing it.
@@ruidadgmailcanada8508 Thank you so much for your response. When I first saw the video, I was busy converting my attic into a "man cave" for me. I asked friends and family why there isn't a female equivalent for man cave. The response...." It's called a kitchen" Cheeky buggers!! Going to build my staircase in June and I"m super excited. Thanks again for the brilliant tutorial.
This was a great tutorial and used it for a set of stairs on a rental. Thank you for making this clear and concise!. NOTE: One thing I did was to make a sample stringer with HDF before cutting the final used for the installation. Thank you again for this helpful video.
Awesome, thank you for the comment!
That joist hanger trick is very handy. I have built a lot of stairs and for decks usually had to add additional framing/posts to create a fastening surface for the top of the stringers. I will definitely try this (long hangers of course) on the next set of deck stairs. Cheers John
Two great videos all I needed to know my daughter had to have a new basement for her house I now can build her stairs will save her thousands of dollars
Awesome man! I hope It went well! 🙂👍🌿
Awesome video. Would you be able to make a video on constructing and attaching a landing to a basement concrete wall?
Excelent video thanks a million!👍
Best video I’ve seen on strair stringers. Ty for explaining the multiple methods of connecting at the top.
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best tutorials I’ve seen. God bless you.
Wow, thank you for the blessing. :)
Simply the best vídeo you have the gift of teaching!!!

I've always chickened out of building stairs. Just made ramps.😂
Thanks alot mate for including mms was super difficult to find.
I found the way you explained it was perfect 🙏
I instantly subscribed look forward to catching up with more of your videos 💯
Glad it was helpful. Welcome aboard!
Just remember, 1" = 25.4mm or 2.54cm. Yes, I live in the USA and we should convert to metric measurements ASAP. But I'm an old fart and apparently the only person willing to consider doing so.😂
Great, useful video. Thanks for showing the other 2 ways to hang the stringers. Bravo on your straightforward teaching style!
Much appreciated! If you want to support my work, please drop some more comments on my other videos! This helps to wake up the YT algorithms. :)
I have looked far and wide trying to find a video on making stair stringers and how to attach them and every video I have found up till now has been less that disappointing…
I at a major aha moment” in the last video when u said to leave enough room at the top of the stringer for the rise… literally no one else has said that and I cldnt make it make sense in my head till now! Thank you!
So glad to hear!
Awesome video and I appreciated the little victory dance on the tread in those funny crocs

Another great way to attach stringers to a landing are by using structural straps this allows you to not have to cut into the stringer at all works for me every time
Great info, thanks for sharing Alberto!
Excellent tips and techniques. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for making it simple to understand. Made it easy to understand and build my two steps.

Very informative and conscientious of the viewer's time!
Thank you. If you want to support my work, please drop some more comments on my other videos! This helps to wake up the YT algorithms. :)
I believe you should add in a 2 x 4 on each end so when the drywall comes in you could set it in there and have your skirtboard in there I think you should be teaching people about that also but very informational Thank you
Great video thanks !
Great video! Do you have a video showing how to flare the stairs at the bottom so the bottom of the stairs are wider than the stairs at the top?
No, sorry
I appreciate the way you teach.
So nice of you. Thank you.
Wow. Fantastic summary.
Thanks for watching
watched a couple times to take the rust off my memories. Successfully cut the stringers. Thanks.
NICE!
Framer went mia on job and this is just what I needed 😊
Those framers! lol
This is so useful! Been waiting 6 months for someone to come help me do my steps! Ugh I can do this!
You got it. Just reach back out when you have questions
