What happens here
Begin by selecting suitable lumber, typically pressure-treated pine for outdoor use, ensuring it is straight and free from major defects. Lay out the timber on a stable work surface, such as saw horses. Use a speed square and a pencil to mark the initial layout for the stair rise and run. The video shows a repeated pattern of marks, indicating a pre-calculated template or a series of identical steps being marked out along the length of the board.
Goal: Lay out the stair stringer design on the lumber.
