That's a really cool staircase and looks like a shit ton of work but the details used are awesome and looks like it'll last for 50 years.
Really cool guys… ! So many ways to do these projects…! Love your experience showing some great ways to keep the miter cuts in place for years to come..! ❤
No flashing tape on top of the stringers or joists. Would anyone here want to seal those cuts for longevity?
My whole body hurts watching this
Very skilled guys. Thanks for the lesson😁👍
Why don't you glue the miter joint with titebond 3?
No joist hangers? No joist tape??
You two (Norm & Tom) have the most amazing skill levels ! I have learned so much from both of you over the years. Thank you
Are the corner stringer two 2×12 put together
doesn't the building code require railings for stairs over 3' or 4' high?
Excellent work , but too much for me to handle …….
Thanks. Great work. I've been doing this for 35yrs. Its always nice to see someone else's take on things. Im starting one of these in a couple of weeks 😅😅
I know Norm installed joist hangers on those stringers before installing the treads and risers.
Why didn’t you wax the cut ends of the ipe
That's Norm!? I'm glad to see him! I haven't seen him since I was a kid in the 90s watching This Old House with my Dad.
How’d you determine stair depth
really 1/8???????
45 degree triangle 1-1- √2.
Run is 1.414 standard run.
That hip stringer is a beast
I will be building stairs like this on my deck. Right now I plan on using Trex deck boards for the risers. I would like to use this 3/4" pvc instead but where can I get some?
Beautiful Job.
Yea like I just watched this video now I can make those that easy you have to explain it not body will be able then do it🙄
8:48 already creaking.
I need help building a 3 family porch.
Awesome work Tommy
Hope the homeowners set up a webcam so we can watch the first drunk uncle roll down those steps!
Holy crap!! Talk about overkill with the footing for the stairs.
15 gauge nails..is this a joke
I paused at 5:20 & realized there's no way I could build that. impressive
Why on earth would you nail and not screw the top step planks in place. Sure you used some glue but stainless steel deck screws are way better. The finished job looks awesome.
Why go through all that work just to use a finish nailer to set it in place?
beautiful!
I have watched you guys for a long time and Tom you get better looking with each new year. You all look better. It is like actors that get better as they get older. I am an artist and love to draw people.
Can I ask a question, why did you nail the stair treads in? I ask because during staining my deck I noticed all the treads are screwed in along with the deck treads. Did they screw up my construction of so what should I do? Yes I fix everything in my house that I can
Lot of work, lot details but at the end what a tremendous job.i like it 1👍

Where is the explanation on how to cut that 45 stringer?? There is nothing on the internet that helps people like myself do the most complicated scenario which is the corner of the stringer ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓
Why don't the stringers get supported by hangers like on a floor joyce? they are being held by a few screws vs a metal hanger…
No blocking between stringers?

As a professional carpenter I am slightly biased, but these sort of projects should NOT be attempted by a homeowner. Tommy and Norm obviously make it look easy but I can assure you those cuts are not easy. Good way to burn money in wasted lumber. Especially that IPE decking.
