Basic Stairbuilding - For Pros By Pros
Basic Stairbuilding Techniques Book
Available with Companion VHS  or DVD

By Scott Schuttner

Straightforward solutions to stairbuilding challenges

If you've ever thought of stairbuilding as a job best left to an expert, this book will change your mind.

Scott Schuttner gives all the practical how-to information needed to build three kinds of stairs: a simple straight case, an L-shaped stair and an open-riser stair. This sharply focused book provides straightforward solutions to virtually any stairbuilding situation.

"Finally, a practical, step-by-step book on how to build a professional quality stair." -- Journal of Light Construction

Basic Stairbuilding DVD Video

By Scott Schuttner

Basic Stairbuilding - DVD VideoAssemble solid and attractive stairs.

At long last, a master carpenter shows you how to assemble stairs that are solid and attractive. Whether you need to build three steps up to a deck or a full flight to your second floor, this one-on-one tutorial with Scott Schuttner takes the guesswork out of going up and down.

You're right there as Schuttner shows how to build two common staircases: a straight-run stair with plywood treads and risers (to be covered with carpeting) and an L-shaped stair with housed oak treads and risers.

You'll discover how a pro troubleshoots and corrects problems, as well as how to:

  • calculate and mark the rise and run for any length stair
  • position carriages to accommodate drywall and skirtboards
  • fasten sturdy treads and risers so they never squeak
  • anchor shopmade newel posts, balusters and handrail
