Everyone stop STAIRING, we will RISE to the occasion and stop STRINGING you along 😏 #shorts

What happens here

Begin by accurately measuring the required dimensions for the stair components, such as the overall rise and run, and the individual riser heights and tread depths. This measurement is critical for determining the length of the stringers and the spacing of the risers. Once measurements are taken, use a speed square and a pencil to transfer these dimensions onto the lumber, ensuring precise and straight lines for cutting.

Goal: Accurately mark lumber for cutting stair components

Tools and materials

  • Pencil BLOC — Marking cut lines on the lumber
  • Speed Square — Marking straight and accurate lines on lumber
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the dimensions for stair components
