job best left to an expert, this book will change your mind.

case, an L-shaped stair and an open-riser stair. This sharply
focused book provides straightforward solutions to virtually any
stairbuilding situation.

Assemble
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
