- A complete discussion and demonstration of how to measure and cut stair stringers for a deck or porch or other use. Watch the whole process, start to finish. Cutting stairs may seem difficult, but once you understand how to measure for the steps and divide for the number of risers, laying out and cutting the stringers is not too bad. If you are replacing or installing new stairs on your deck or porch, this video is for you.

Like several have said, this video is exponentially better than any other I've found after searching for several days. Outstanding.
Finally somebody with brains explaining this in a way That we all can understand
THANK YOU !! No slide rules, no NASA engineering fluff. JUST A GOOD PLAIN EXPLANATION.
This is the ONLY stair building video that needs to be on CZcams. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, your expertise and your patience.
The best explanation for beginners, simple and precise explanatio! Thank You!
This was the best explanation video of this process, that I have ever come across. Well done!! Thanks :)
As a carpenter/builder I must say that this is the best video I have ever seen on building stairs. Explained right and easy for anyone to understand.
I don't know how anyone could dislike this video, this was about as clear of an explanation as I have ever seen on this subject and I've looked at quite a few. Good job!
yup... this is the 3rd video I just watched...was still confused after the first two!
this guy cleared it up in no time!
Carpenters disliked it because it explained it too well
I agreed
I agree. John Panter is always very detailed and clear in his explanations, as well as generous in his sharing of information. I successfully clapboarded an 1840 house using only his information. How the hell can there be 453 people giving this video a thumbs down is crazy.
I agree, I have watched so many of these and he’s pretty damn informative
I watched 17 videos on making deck stairs till I found yours. This is the BEST explained video that I have seen. Thanks !
I swear!
People need to know that no one owns you an explanation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
By far the best well explain video on how to cut stair stringers.....two thumbs up!!!!!
Thank you for the best stair stringer explanation on CZcams!
Sir, for adding lines and explaining “this represents the ground, this represents the deck”. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Most videos they just start throwing lines all over, no explanation, I’m trying to pause to figure out what the heck that line is and this line. And you made it so I could visually see what line represents the ground, the stairs, and the part that rests on the deck - before you even cut it!!! Great job, thanks again.
As a builder/joìner,thats the best lecture I' ve come across.thanks..
Glad to hear that, thank you!
Most informative video on how to cut stringer for stairs on CZcams
I don’t think I have ever seen a more comprehensive and detailed explanation of any subject on You Tube ever, and I’ve seen a lot of vids.
Great Job!!!!.
Glad it was helpful!
So far the easiest video to follow that CZcams have,.the best video on how to cut stairs stringers .....
Great video! The way you teach makes sense to my brain and easy for me to understand. Thank you for making this video, it was really helpful.
hands down the best stringer demonstration on youtube
What I like to do on rough steps, say like unfinished basement steps or whatever is to notch under the front bottom step for a 2"X4" to lay across perpendicular to the direction of stairs going up/down & is kept in place that it never can slide out or down , if so the top just had a lot of weight applied to it & likewise notch the bottom of it's top rails & fasten a 2X4" tightly to the garment in the same respect for added supports from it's leaning against the deck/floor or whatever! Thanks for listening. And I really like your video's.
Best stair video ,on CZcams
This was the best stringer explanation on the internet. Thank you!
I think I have watched like 30 how to make stairs videos and this one finally clicked for me. Thank You
Best and clearest explanation I’ve seen so far especially for someone who knew nothing about how and why you do things. Hardest part is why you cut off the top and bottom of the stronger you described it so I knew what you were talking about. I’m confident I can at least make a good try at it. Thank you
If it's your first time, I strongly recommend using a strip of plywood as a template. If you screw it up nothing major is lost.
I wish I found this before I cut my stringers. I’ve watched several videos and you made the process VERY easy!
You have showed One of the best and easiest way to cut stairs stringers especially to dummies like me. Thank you sir.
Simply the best detailed explanation I’ve seen on YT ever. Thank you sir. I’m attempting to build my very first staircase. Hence the reason I’m here.
DUDE! You saved me from a Yogi meltdown! I had major brain vapor lock until you explained how subtracting the thickness of a tread from the bottom riser drops the whole stringer down to compensate for the other treads. I thought I was losing my mind. Thank you! I thought I had to subtract the thickness on every tread. I must have drain bamage
Well, you may still be losing your mind, but at least you'll have a nice set of stairs!
Really appreciate how thorough and clear your explanation was for building stair stringers. Excellent video!
Well, that's the best explanation I've ever seen on how to cut stringers. I could easily take 3 hours to explain this and leave everyone scratching their head. Way to go!
This guy is a real Carpenter!
Stair Stringer 101 class, this is the best video that Ive seen so far. Thank you for explaining everything, Great job!!
Some good tips I didn’t hear/see in other stringer videos!
Best explanation I've cone across on any platform..big thank you..from a complete novice..
finally someone who explains that you have to remove the thickness of the riser from the top step. I looked all over till I found this. i didn't want to cut it till I knew for sure. thanks for the video!
Glad it helped!
This was a very good video showing how to plan and build steps.
Best stair stringer tutorial on the internet. You should do more videos man. Brilliant.
I have been doing home remodeling for 23 years built a lot of steps this is a great explanation no matter how great of an explanation you give people always get confused it took me a while to get the hang of it great video
Great explanation. Best I’ve seen on here. Good work!
Im a joiner (carpenter to you yanks) in the Uk. I have not done stairs for over 12 years and thank you so much for your toutorial. It's exactly the refresher course i needed. Thanks
Yeah, this is one of those things you need to do often to have it come naturally. When it's been awhile you need to think about it!
@@enduringcharm Well Sir... I now have it locked and loaded for tomorrow's job! Thanks again and take care
There are good videos and bad videos. This one is absolutely fantastic.
I gotta say.There are some decent videos on this but This guy should teach you tubers how to make instructional videos of any kind. Very nice and as helpful as it gets
Please continue like this sir your explanation is so clear than most of everyone. Youre brilliant
This is the best explanation of how to cut stringers I've ever seen...and I've always wanted to know how to do this. What a great job...thanks a million.
This was one of the best explanations I've ever seen. Thank you! Outstanding!
I agree with all the previous comments. By far the best explained and easy understand video I have researched. Thank you Sir👍
Best explanation I’ve ever heard, great video…👍
I know it’s been said here a lot, but this video actually taught me how to build these stringers, and made sense after watching sooo many videos that were just confusing and frustrating. New subscriber here, thank you for the video.
That's awesome, I'm glad it was helpful.
I have watched many videos on how to cut stair stringers, None of them explain it the way you did! You made it very easy to understand. I feel confident that I can cut stair stringers without any problem.. thank you so much!!! and Yes thumbs up and Yes subscribe!!
BEST explanation I have seen showing this!! And I’ve looked a lot! That’s for going slow enough to digest al.
I am a woman with no carpentry experience. I could do this!!
This guy rocks!!!
Of course you can--it would take a man to screw this up!
@@enduringcharm lol!
Best explanation I have found.
This was the first...and thankfully the last...video I watched on stair stingers. Excellent presentation.
This is the best explanation on stair stringers, by far......
Best and most concise explanation of the adjustments needed on both ends. Thanks.
This is the only video I've seen that explains super clear the stringer cutting process, other videos i've seen they confuse you more. I'm a brand new DIYer so it is important to have guidance like this. Grest video, great explanation. Bravo!!!
very clear and easy, thank you (not sure why there are any dislikes...geesh - some people will complain that Chicago is not windy enough!) thanks.
Bravo! Excellent video!!! VERY easy to understand... Have looked at over a dozen videos, and this is the BEST! Thank You for providing this excellent information. Sometimes as a public forum we forget that you have provided a valuable service, and I thank you again for taking the time to produce this video.
Oh, thanks for the kind words! It means a lot, actually.
Great video. The subtraction to the bottom and top of the stringer to account for the decking was messing me up. Now I'm ready to finish my stairs, thanks so much!
Once you wrap your head around the concept, it's not that difficult.
Thank you so much for such a Thorough explanation
The best stair stringer instructional on CZcams, hands down!
Finding your video after a week of searching is a blessing. I like the detail with drawing and actual field work. I am using your video to add stairs to my existing deck.
Gods Blessings
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for being so thorough
This is a great video! I had to watch it three times, cuz I'm not a carpenter LOL. I did get it though, and I think you explained things terrific, easy to follow. I Forwarded to a friend who needed to know how to build some stairs also. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow!. I'm having a deck built and just needed to understand how the stringers are measured and cut. This is by far THE BEST video I have seen. I just could not understand the others. Great job man!!
Glad it was helpful!
Best stair design/calculation video on You Tube - very helpful, thank you.
Probably the best video I have seen on marking out stair stringers, clear and reasoned
I've seen so many videos about this topic but this video for me is the best. The tutorial's clear and I could follow it STEP BY STEP. Thumbs up! Thank you very much.
I have watched about eight to ten video on this subject. This by far, has been the most helpful and easiest to follow. I love the idea of cutting out a stringer out of plywood as a template AND for practice. I also found the description on how to take into account cor the tread material and riser fascia very easy to understand.
Explained very well ! Easy to understand. 🙌
I have watched multiple stair stringers videos. By far this is the most informative! Thank you!
Great job on this video sir! I'm a self-employed carpenter but was always afraid of stairs. I had a close friend who needed a staircase re-constructed and I came across this video. After watching I felt very confident but not confident enough to cut the 2x12 material, so I used some old 1x12 pine shelves I demoed from a closet. Came out just perfect! Thanks for the knowledge!
Same as the other commenters on here, I'm trying to rebuild some deck stairs and this is the only video that explained things properly that I've found. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Thank you pointer about thickness of the material for the stems and removing same from bottom was beautiful.
I have to say this , after the 11 years of being a carpenter I forgot how to calculate for stairs . This video was very simple and explained to me how to remember how to do it again . I’ve seen many others on CZcams and this by far is the best well explained video I have seen by far . Thanks man 👍 cheers 🍻
It is one of those things, like roof framing, that you need to do often to keep in your head!
enduringcharm yes sometimes roofs for me as well , just like how to plane a roof when you have piggy back trusses running from hips how to properly plane it all out so it looks nice . Sometimes as well most truss company’s drop the gables by 1 1/2 sometimes you don’t . Many things in this trade you tend to forget but have to quickly remember again .
Not a novice but it's been a very long time since I've cut stair stringers. Watched the video once and completed the job perfectly with NO problems at all. One of the best how to videos I've ever seen.
That's great to hear--glad it helped. Some things you need to do often in order to remember the process, it's true.
Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for a very clear and easy way to measure
Outstanding video! Great Job in explaining how cutting the bottom stringer is accounted for with the tread that will making up the difference, same as cutting the rear top stringer. You are the man!!! . God bless you!
I've seen many videos about how to build deck stairs but by far this is the most well narrated version showing you how to do it well job
This was the best how-to on stair building that I’ve seen.
Described as a seasoned instructor.
You sir are a natural teacher weather you know it or not
Even though im making one step on an internal decking, this has been the best instructive video i have watched. Thank you.
Excellent video! No problem following his instructions.
A couple of years old but this is the best explanation for me as a layman who is going to attempt to build a deck.
Best stringer video I've watched and I've been to the end of the internet and back
Good instruction & teaching.
The best stair stringer video on youtube!! Thank you for taking your time to do this. I subscribed.
This is a great and thoroughly informative video. Thank you for posting!
Definaltly the best video for newbies
Man, I've seen so much videos on CZcams to know exactly how to make these stringers but yours is the most elaborate and easily explained. Thank you so much. I thought I would have to learn calculus with those other videos lol
This is an excellent tutorial for stair stringers, great explanation and perfect for the beginner! Thank you for the video!
This is by far the best explanation of laying out a stringer. Thank a million
Best explanation that I've seen so far.
Same here 😊👍
Thank You for making this. I went through a few videos but this was the best, most clear, and strait to the point I could find.
I have been watching various videos on how to do this and was getting frustrated and worried that I may not be able to do this properly. This is THE BEST explained video and most COMPREHENSIVE video I have seen yet that didn't have me going to sleep! In all seriousness, THIS video deserves a reward!
Thanks, man! Glad it helped.
Amazing job, John!
Thank you so much for the detailed-oriented video!
Terrific job on taking your time in making sure that people, like me, who viewed this as intimidating, would understand it throughly.
You explained it extremely well!
Can't wait to build my own now. 👍🙏
Thank you, thank you!
You have a gift for instruction! This is the best video I have seen, providing enough explanation with demonstration that leaves no doubt. OUTSTANDING!!!!
Excellent way of showing how to do this!! Thank you so much!
I watched about a dozen videos on this subject since I DON'T do this every day, and yours was the most helpful. Not only did you instruct, but you took the time to explain why each cut is adjusted, etc. in a way that made sense to me.
