How to Layout a Stair Stringer

This was for a Technology Education project I made for one of my classes. Other things to know in my video that I forgot to mention would be don't use the size board I used which was a 1x10". Use a much thicker board that is a little wider than what I had.

One of the better explained and shown tutorials I have watched, thanks :)

Watching this in 2021. Getting things ready for my first porch with stairs build for a mobile home in AZ. Thanks for the helpful layout lesson. My stringers will be 2x12s and go with a circular saw.

Thanks Brandon

Hi what is the size of the stringer? width, thickness and height?

[@jk0897]

thanks for the explanation. Only wished you attached it.

Thanks for explaining video

[@pscarvillegas7894]

Muchas gracias well done

The only tool? Then you say square then gauges(tools) lol. Great videos

[@rocketrider1405]

that stringer had 4 steps not 5 ... am i missing an important fact?

[@TripleSplashAttack]

The 5th step is the deck itself

[@rocketrider1405]

There seems to be 2 ways to plan your stringers. 1) making the deck floor your highest step {like here} or 2) attaching the stringer below the surface of the deck. I find this confusing as the measurements needed seem to be the same, i.e., total height especially.

[@rds333]

yes! the last step is on top or the deck surface. You could cut a 5th step on the stringer, but that would make it even with the top and make it extend outward. I have seen this done but it looks weird.

You guys forget, you leave out details....such as: how do tou know what is the bottom of the stringer? How do I determine what line needs to be drawn all the way across? I found out the hard way, there is a line to go all the way across on one end: the rise, and a line that needs to go all the way across on the other end: the run, many of us need very very beginning basics ....12x2x10 boards are expensive, too expensive to make a mistake on 🙁

He has an emense chalkboard an then he uses diagrams and numbers that are too small

[@donr2686]

Nice presentation but you did not account for cumulative error. Contact me to explain.

Inches.....

[@sophialow340]

I did it with Stodoys.

[@huejanus5505]

The code has changed (here anyways), 7" steps are way too high now.

[@rds333]

where do you live? Oompa Loompa land?

[@EFD620G]

Ya but is the rise 36 1/4" high You never proved that.

[@youzulf]

Thanks for video. But all you American guys waste a lot of wood.

Music at the end sucks!
