Large Workshop Buildout 4: How to Build a Staircase like a PRO

It’s Greg right? That dude is such an amazing helper. Always making himself useful, and always being one step ahead so he can help the flow. What a guy!

Something that's difficult to realize, specifically about what you're doing in these videos, is that teaching and explaining the actions you're taking, while also performing customer work in a timely manner, takes a tremendous amount of skill and confidence. But you also manage to display humbleness and gratitude towards the things that have made you successful. You reiterate throughout some of your videos that we're all only human, and make mistakes. I'm glad you include those mistakes, how they may have happened, and how you correct them. It brings a lot more to the table than a video that experiences little or no difficulties. All of you, camera man included, are doing great work, and setting a fantastic example for anyone who happens to watch your content.

I like that you take pride in your work,not a lot of contractors don’t.Great job guy’s.

I do have one question. Not sure if anyone asked something similar. When you were putting a tread on you talked about the cup of the board and how you want it up which in my experience as a Handyman and from past employers has been a no-no. The cup facing up allows a dip in the board, but I know you glued it as well as screwed it and also this is an interior application so could you elaborate more on why you did it that way? I build for a living, and I own my handyman business and I've watched your videos for a few years. You do great work my friend. I'm always willing to learn and you explain things well, keep up the quality work!

It's nice to see that there are still people who take pride in their work. My old boss wouldn't even take the time to do things right building 10 million dollar plus custom homes in Park City, let alone when we built cheaper homes.

I've had this explained to me multiple times, and I have never fully comprehended what was going on. You are an excellent teacher, and put a lot of heart into your work at the same time. You make sure to stop and explain why you do each thing, and the goal being, for others to learn, and to have a satisfied customer as well. If I could give this a 10/10 I would, but I'll give it a like and a subscribe instead. I honestly don't know that I have ever sat through a 51 minute youtube video besides some sermons, but this was well worth it. Excellent job!

Great layout techniques and mention we all make mistakes but showing how make sure everything stays the same with only a little extra time. A true teacher and a great craftsman

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things youtube.com/post/UgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3H… , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

Job well done. For over 34 years I was the supervisor and laborer building bridges. Although my work for most times was not this intense, I did make sure it was done right cutting no corners. It makes anyone feel good to see a project come out like it should. I am now retired and in my back yard is a wood shop I built two years ago. I enjoy just building anything that comes to mind. I have put some good money in the shop and can pretty much build anything you like. Sawdust just gets in the brain I guess.

Your method of laying out cut lines for stair treads and risers on a 2x12 stringer is an excellent defense of why using math keeps all of your tape measurements & layout lines in perfect checks & balances. We are all human and I have always made some kind of minor blooper on my layout stringer work, that I later regretted. But now, using these simple math skills keeps me in check to make those perfect cuts on every stringer, works like a charm. Also your argument that you (the builder) has to only have to do this once, but the home owner (customer) must walk & up down those stairs for the rest of his life - all the more reason to follow: "Do It Right The First Time". 🌞

Canelo I didn’t know you were a carpenter too thank you champ!! ..

I have really enjoyed your videos and as someone with 40 years building and creating. What I have learned the most from your videos is how to teach better you have a great ability to explain the MATH ( It really is important) and get the work done. The we are in it together and this is how I have learned to do it you may do it different or another way and that is fine Mantra Really is how we all help each other progress. Thank You

The fact that I understood every little detail about how you wanted the tread to be level all throughout and be precise, yet 2 months ago I’d have had no idea what you were talking about. stairs are the last thing I need to perfect about building decks! Thanks for the awesome video.

Excellent video. I'm a mechanical engineer and never learned anything about wood or wood type construction (all I learned in school is high end physics and math and some fun programming type stuff for robotics, but I have been a manufacturer for 6 years now (solid metal parts - CNC type stuff) and love your videos. They're super easy to understand and truly valuable for the trade. I've seen what some builders do and this is A+.

Your videos are great and the pride in workmanship is an inspiration! One suggestion I have for you though.....; try metric measurement. Once you try metric measurements for a while, you'll wish you tried it years ago. I'm 64 years old and if I can do metric measurements, I know you can too.👍

I love your work, and your ability to show us how to do things correctly. I have studied staircase design, and have execute a few correctly, even a set of alternating stair treads for my tiny apartment. I really appreciate the refresher course you provided, thank you

Great show ... you must spend half your life at the editors desk keep up the good quality work and show boys.

Great job!! I am 68 & so happy to see a couple young men that take PRIDE in their work great job!! O ya I was a carpenter my entire life. Started with my dad when I could lift a hammer. Pride in your work says a lot for your character !!! Been watching for years you & Greg are a great team nice 👍 Love God Love America 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for covering and breaking down the fine detail like you did. I am a novice so sometimes I have a hard time following all the lingo and steps but this video in particular I followed very well. Love all your videos guys, you teach me a ton. Thanks

I actually sat down and took notes during this video, haha! Now I feel more confident! Great job guys!
