  • 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. If you have questions about building stairs, please leave them below, or reach out to me on Instagram (link below).

    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.
