Hi John, Hope you are doing well. I've got an old house in the suburbs of Philly, it is still very similarly constructed. I watched your videos before I did work on my winder stairs. Would love to see more of your videos! Take Care.

I worked in philly as a flooring tech for about 3 years. I remember the smell of those steps

Philly house are very similar to old UK house's. Solid.

I don't understand why you're replacing it?

You're funny Philly. Joinery not bad either.😊👍

your videos are super helpful as we plan to remove a staircase out of one house and salvage it to another. Could you please explain why you start from the bottom up?

Thank you for these videos. You do great work !

How do you straighten tilted stairs? It is separating from the wall and sloping downwards

I notice it was coming off in pieces. Is there a way to take it apart to restore it & place it back together? Or would the wood be too old & broken down? The wood on what im working on isn't in rough shape like that, But it was all nailed together i kind of want to take it apart sand it all down & add screws instead of nails. Especially for the railing. But the old wood is way more seasoned & hardy than what we got today, so i'd to keep it as long as i can rather than replace it with some cheap baby wood.

Why remove history?????

i've really enjoyed your videos I wish you'd make some new ones

Thanks for keeping this art alive!

Dear brother， wood dusts and dusts and chamicals cause lung cancer，please wear face mask to protect yourself。God Jesus Christ love，protect and bless you and all your family！

Came across this video as I’m looking at my 100 year old Philly row home stairs separating from the wall-only difference is-my wall has a buddy to lean on-the house next to me is still standing and my steps have the same if not worse gaps..why would it separate so much!?

🎉 Thanks. Great video

why dont you make more videos?

I really enjoyed this video

I don’t think those are chisel marks on the back of that riser. I think they would have use an axe - seen them in my Victorian house on floorboards

Hi mate. Good stuff. Regarding the risers, can you use pine timber? Is it strong enough? And some companies selling treads and risers are selling Oak engineered with MDF. What do you think about MDF for risers? Cheers mate.

I totally agree with what you say..I dont put on any of that stuff..u have to find your own methods as long as they work

“Room for improvement is the biggest room in the world “ love that

that thing would be called a cameo, not a cartouch.

Cool video, but you did not demonstrate how to repair the stairs separating from the walls.

Love your skillset and appreciation for old carpentry. Doing a similar project to a south philly row home in removing carpet from stairs and second floor stairway landing. Looks just like this 3rd floor effort but I have banister and balusters in place. What I'm not clear about is what is best way to handle the stairway landing where you show in video of removed balusters edge. I'm installing red oak over the subfloor pine and not sure should I notch back the spots for the balusters or take flooring to edge with a nose and then drill circle hole as you did treads to install balusters back. May I ask how did you do this 3rd floor section flooring, balusters and railing ? Thanks.

So interesting!

I know a Philly house when I see it

Is there a way to tighten the bottom of the riser to the stair steps below that riser without opening the hole in the back of the stairs?

Love the work! Wondering if you could share your business contact?

Thank you for the videos¡ very useful for our stairs in Brooklyn¡

wow this guy has a wealth of knowledge. My one stop shop for my building needs.
