Solutions to stairbuilding
challenges - Book and DVD Video - If you've ever thought of
stairbuilding as a job best left to an expert, this book will change
your mind. Scott Schuttner gives all the practical how-to
information needed to build three kinds of stairs: a simple straight
case, an L-shaped stair and an open-riser stair. This sharply
focused book provides straightforward solutions to virtually any
stairbuilding situation. At long last, a master carpenter shows you how to assemble stairs
that are solid and attractive. Whether you need to build three steps
up to a deck or a full flight to your second floor, this one-on-one
tutorial with Scott Schuttner takes the guesswork out of going up
and down.

Learn Basic Stairbuilding from the
Ground Up - At long
last, a master carpenter shows you how to assemble stairs that are
solid and attractive. Whether you need to build three steps up to a
deck or a full flight to your second floor, this one-on-one tutorial
with Scott Schuttner takes the guesswork out of going up and down.
You're right there as Schuttner shows how to build two common
staircases: a straight-run stair with plywood treads and risers (to
be covered with carpeting) and an L-shaped stair with housed oak
treads and risers.

Stairway design and construction is a cornerstone of homebuilding. This is where
carpenters show off their skill in combining safe, solid construction with
suitable dimensions, excellent craftsmanship, and (more often than not)
impressive measures of ingenuity.
Even in the simplest of houses, building a stairway can be a complex project.
That's why the editors of Fine Homebuilding magazine have compiled a selection of
stair-building articles that covers a broad range of details relating to design,
fabrication and installation. Its all here -- from simple, site-built utility
staircases to elaborate spirals. |

Professional Grade
Information on Building High Quality Stairs. Stair building
combines precision carpentry with tricky math, so even experienced
builders find it challenging. But as this extensively illustrated
book demonstrates, any builder who can measure the distance between
two floors can plan and build a stunning set of stairs. By clearly
laying out the geometry, planning, and construction involved, author
Andy Engel takes the reader from a simple structure built of framing
lumber to a set of stairs fit for a king. From building and
installing railings to using off-the-shelf stair parts, Building
Stairs lays out the process clearly and completely. |

efficiently. Here's your chance to watch a framing master at work,
and to become a better, more efficient carpenter yourself.

handbook gives you everything else: number and dimension of
treads and risers, total run, correct well hole opening, angle
of incline, and quantity of materials and settings for your
framing square for over 3,500 code-approved rise and run
combinations – several for every 1/8-inch interval from a 3
