I used to build custom homes many years ago and like anything the technology keeps getting better! We now have children building and remodeling there own homes and your channel is helping me catch up on some framing, fastener and tool advances! Thanks for the content it’s top notch!!!
Larry Haun's video on stair building stressed cutting every tread/riser in the same direction right down the line, so that's how I've always done it. It does create a nice rhythm.
I totally agree with you about the Milwaukee M18 jigsaw. I started in boat building so the jigsaw was my go-to saw. I recently bought and returned a Festool barrel jigsaw because I didn't like the sight lines and missed having a trigger. Bought the Milwaukee and couldn't be happier. 👍
I have the Paslode XP. I've only used it on 2 small projects so far. I'm finding it's constantly misfiring or double shooting. And the depth adjustment is forever resetting itself. Is this common? Are there any adjustments for these issues?
I have 3 XPs and none of them do that. Are you sure the depth adjustment is clicked into place? Double shooting? I've never had that issue, I would recommend you send it in to have it looked at.
@@AwesomeFramers yep definitely the depth is clicked into place. Maybe I just got a lemon. It happens. Thanks for actually answering. I'm learning a lot from your videos.
I stopped using DF stringers because of the cupping and because the edges seem to always be rounded over, making them harder to lay out. These days I use SYP (typically #1), which always has nice crisp edges and no cupping. Of course, I'm sure there is a difference in the quality of DF lumber I get in Central Texas vs what you get in Washington. Actually, on second look, I'm not so sure what species of wood you're working with. The sawdust looks reddish like I expect from DF, but the texture and grain are making me question myself.
@@AwesomeFramers I figured you get much better DF than I do. Honestly, the only 2×12 DF I can get with a grade stamp are 22', 24', and special order 26'.
End screwing/nailing is one of the primary ways people die from deck collapse. I know this has 10x less stress on it than a deck joist, but it's probably unnecessary to repeatedly advertise methods that will never be code or recommended by a manufacturer.
@@AwesomeFramers id be surprised if anyone suggested only end nails on a cantilevered rim (which is still substantially less force that the end screws here)
@@njsification that's exactly what the cantilever detail in the shows, our engineer shows, and the I Joist details show. Apawood.org Knowledge is power
Please!!!, Please!!!, Please!!! don't build a split entry house we all had so much of that garbage in the 70's and 80's. They should not be a thing now!!!!

Dude, Cool you have these scheduled 3 weeks out! Happy New Year!!!

I've noticed this speeds things up a bit too

60 something here laughing hysterically every time you say you are old.
Hi Tim .good job as usual.You didn’t show how you attached the stringers.Great video thanks
Great video, solid stair!
What foam do you use for phenolic OSB and wood? Thank you

What size battery do you perfer on that saw or have you found that it makes any power difference?
I prefer the 5ah on the 10 1/4" and 4ah on the 7 1/4". I do think it makes a difference.
@@AwesomeFramers cool thanks I just bought the Makita to replace my skill what a difference in weight and balance
@@ashtonlong1235 I think its my favorite tool of the past 5 years.
@@AwesomeFramers it might be Friday but my inner kid can't wait to test is out plating Monday😁
You are going to get home owners killed with those stairs. If there is no squeaks how will you know if there is a burglar?
☝️
excellent point, but to date, we've had no home owners killed. Just YT commentors 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

We get very good quality DF. I've even ordered 30' 2x12 DF and it was pretty.

What do you guys finish the stairs with oak or you never see that part
typically carpet, though this landing will probably be oak.

Don’t be so hard on the guy with the yellow level.
He’s an excellent tradesman!
Hallo from austria Europa

are you talking about nailing through the 2x12 rim into the joists?
@@AwesomeFramers The part where you put two screws in and hang from it, then talk about how awesome the connection is 3 more times.
@njsification yep you're wrong. Take a look at the drawings in the catalog. Take a look at what the code shows for nailing rim into joists as well.

Please!!!, Please!!!, Please!!! don't build a split entry house we all had so much of that garbage in the 70's and 80's. They should not be a thing now!!!!
Why?
Brother, relax
Split-levels are awesome.
I was hoping for a common stair build, not something complicated.
This isn't complicated.....
Didn't show us if there were any shiners.
nah, mystery is a good thing.......
