<\/a>Laying out the rise and the run on a square with some clamps.<\/p><\/div>\n
I transferred the angle to the chop saw.\u00a0 I would have liked to figure out how to make the angle 31.6 degrees (because that was where one of those nice pre-set stops is), but that’s the way it goes.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Transferring the angle to the chop saw<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Here are the stringers after being cut<\/p><\/div>\n
The bandsaw helped me finish off the notches in the stringers that I couldn’t cut with the chop saw.\u00a0 Cutting them all\u00a0 by hand wouldn’t have been any fun.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Pre-drilling for the deck screws<\/p><\/div>\n
I like using the countersink bits when pre-drilling holes for the screws so that the heads can go below the surface without tearing up the wood.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Steps on the stringers<\/p><\/div>\n
Here’s all the steps attached to the stringers.\u00a0 I saw online that a lot of the stair stringer sets have a 2×4 across at the bottom.\u00a0 I put one in there although I don’t really care for the look of it.\u00a0 The only purpose for the 2×4 being there at the bottom was to keep the stringers from twisting.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Getting ready for the handrails<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a>Putting on the ballusters<\/p><\/div>\n
Here I’ve started putting on the ballusters.\u00a0 I think it will help give added stability to the handrails and look nicer than a big gap.<\/p>\n
