I love hard work.
I could sit and watch it for hours.
Haha
Lol
Even better in time lapse... 😉
there's an old bricklayer,i used to work with, and he said that a man who says he "never made a mistake", never made anything.
Hi Scot,
This is the first time I have commented on one of your videos. I have been following you for this entire build, however I have followed you long before this. I was always leary of commenting, due to the fact that your experience level exceeds mine. I have been a carpenter for 30years, but you still have done more than me. I have learned quite a bit from watching and listening to you. I deeply thank you for that. One thing I learned, is that you have a lot of the same work habits/ethics that I have....or , I have the same work habits/ethics you have.
Thank you for your lessons in our craft, and lessons of humility. I really appreciate the way you teach, your values, ethics, etc...
I'll continue to work, learn, apply and remain as humble and teachable as humanly possible. Thanks again.
Very well said!
Indeed
Couldn't have said it better my self. Love his work ethic .
Good old protestant christian values if you ask me, the reason why USA and northern Europe have been so dramatically more successful than the rest of the world.
Values and ethics now deemed more or less obsolete by our current society - well, let us see how that's going to work out in the long run.
Niklas Paulsson, yeah we in the 85% of the global population who aren’t Protestant Christians are just a bunch of work shy freeloaders
Great tip on adding a piece of 3/4" on the side of the stringers for drywallers. Wish everyone would do this. Thanks EC
Para Scale Models
This was such a huge thing that I see showing through in these videos. The forethought to make someone else’s job a touch easier, and get a way superior result.
A minor detail, that pays huge returns.
Yeah, that idea jumped out at me. Nice!
Should use a 2x to allow for the finished skirt board as well. 👍🏿
@@uglyashelful Yeah... Just saved the dry wall guy 15 minutes and cost the stair guy 3 hours...
Shouldn’t the Skirt board sit over top of the flooring though? To cover the gap and provide the cleanest finish?
5:15 RIP framing square, we hardly knew ye.
“I’m not taking it to the fair” is a great expression. Thanks for the great video. Keep up the good work.
The carpenter that I knew used "Ya aint buildin a piano!"
An old common one for me to hear, " we ain't building a church"
Mine is We ain't landing guys on the moon.
In my town it's "we ain't building a bar!"
“Close enough for government work!”
“If you have 5 minutes to get something done, spend the first 3 minutes planning out how you’re going to do it” this quote has helped me a lot. Knowing you are being efficient, is extremely gratifying. Looking back after all the grueling repetitions and seeing all your work come together after all the steps, is euphoric
The forethought to attach the piece of 1x to the inside of the stringers is amazing. And I’m sure drywallers love you for it!
I’m sure it’s something you picked up pretty fast when framing, but it’s a small thing most people wouldn’t have ever thought of.
Thanks as always, for all of the hard work you do for us!
Jimi Dawalt should have put 2x4 instead. Won’t have room for the skirt boards.
This was one of my favorite spec house videos to date. I liked how you went into more detail in explaining what you were doing and didn't have as much of a rush feeling as some of the other videos in the series. Just wanted to throw in that feed back for you. Keep up the good work!
I hope you plan to produce a series of DVD's once this project is done as anyone who is thinking about building a house will find this invaluable.
" I don't think I'll ever make that mistake again"
Not to worry, there's a whole bunch of other mistakes you haven't made yet, awaiting their turn. ;)
Andrew Alexander 🍻
@Ken MacDonald glad I'm not the only one
Better, more costly ones
I once worked for a rigger, splicing ropes, and when I apologised for doing something wrong, he would say "The man that never made a mistake never made nothing." Not grammatically correct, but a good life lesson. Learn from your mistakes, move on and try not to make them again.
Andrew Alexander - I want to hang that saying up in my shop.
This show is so mesmerizing. I lose track of time and what I'm supposed to do. Really didn't want it to end. Thanks for great content Essential Craftsman 🤙
More episodes like this please. The detailed commentary and close in shots were very interesting.
I’m a seasoned carpenter/ craftsman myself and I still enjoy watching your videos. You are a good teacher and I’m a firm believer that a teacher doesn’t make good students, a teacher makes good teachers; if I teach someone (hopefully a youngster) and watch them take that knowledge and in return do the same to someone else, then I’ve 100% completed the task at hand.
Keep up the great work.
Great video mate! I have a lot of respect for your care and integrity as a craftsman.
I always have enjoyed your videos guys but I was just thinking of how envious of Nate I am. Man, documenting your dad at his greatness at this great detail. Just awesome. Hats off to you and, “Keep up the good work.”
Only Scott can make a 22 minute video go by like that.
Scott, great work on the stair framing. I wish a more carpenters would take the time to do as good a job as you do. I build stair railings and balustrades. It’s such a relief to follow the work of a craftsman who cares about their work. One suggestion on the 3/4 “ space you left for the sheet rock against the walls. It would be better to use a 2x4 so that there’s enough space to drop in a skirt board as well as the sheet rock without having to cut around the stairs. Really enjoy your videos!
Making mistakes, admitting them and learning from them.....
keeps a person humble !
We don't like them, but we need them! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Loved this episode! I notice something that I think you should consider mentioning sometime and that is the efficiency of your movements. For example, as you attached the risers and treads you had your material within reach, you laid out several, glued several, and then installed all of those pieces. Very efficient movement and I think it should be emphasized.
Wow so much knowledge in just 22 minutes. Thank you for this teaching
Hello Essential Craftsman! I love this series so much. I’m a Civil Engineering student in Canada and I found the videos on pouring the concrete wall and footings especially fascinating. I previously forwarded this playlist to my professor and she has plans to show it in class for context. Huge fan, thank you!
Man I wished I had a picture of the stairs on a hunting cabin my brother bought to turn into a house. Each step was a different height and near the top they tilted towards the front . We figured the guys building them had been drinking beer and the farther along they got the less they cared and just wanted to get finished. From the bottom they went up to a platform that wasn't tall enough to walk under even though they were right in the middle of the room!
I just built a set of winders and this video was very very helpful. Watched it several times throughout the build as I progressed. Thank you for sharing how to do it. I modified your approach from one set of six winder boxes to two sets of three so that I would have more useable storage space under the winder portion, and I used four 6x6 boxed to make the central post instead of chip board. Turned out great.
Man, I really like your channel and your content. I'm a 35-year journeyman up here in Eugene. Only thing I'd say on this video is I feel like over the years I've had less squeaks from using pressure blocks and squash blocks rather than hardware. It's still legal and you've usually got the scrap laying around anyhow.
One of the things that most people get into trouble with on stairs is the finish flooring either at the top or the bottom . If your flooring is the same on both levels and on the stairs as well then no worries , but if the flooring thickness ( or lack of flooring ie unfinished basements ) changes then you need to allow for a change possibly in the future . This is especially true in log homes where you can have extreme , but expected , settling
issues to be taken into consideration . Great work and thanks for the post .
Here in Melbourne, Australia, every few days I thank (in my head) all the people who inspect and maintain our waterways so that I get potable water out of the tap.
Watching these videos, I have added 'the good and experienced people who come up with building codes so that our houses don't suck' to the list of people to thank.
Thank you so much for all your work.
There is always a certain "Zen" I get from watching your videos. (Or, as some people call it--"Autonomous sensory meridian response"). But besides the specific construction techniques, I think you do such a great job at tapping into some much deeper foundational ideas. In this edition specifically, your thoughtfulness not only on those who will use the stairs, but to those construction workers / construction work that will come later. And if I may take it one level deeper, I think there are many people who still consider their job to be just trading certain hours of work for a certain amount of dollars. What work really is, is our chance to add value to someone else. It's my belief that when we think of it this way, work isn't really work at all. And you are a shining example of this. All the best to you and your crew in 2020 and beyond. Always thrilled to see what's coming next!
One day I'll be like this gentleman. He's an mvp at carpentry. ❤️🧡
You have no idea how excited my inner pack-rat was to you comment @ 10:09. I also liked your aid to the drywall guys by adding the side board. I had never seen that one.
I can hardly express how invaluable this type of content is. There is just absolutely no other way someone like myself could ever see something like this being built by someone with your skill set and experience level. My livelihood is in an entirely different industry, however framing, and building/making in general is a passion of mine. Thank you for including us in this process. I have been following along closely for a long time and will continue to do so for as long as you continue posting.
Builders like this cat, are absolutely amazing. I wish I had his knowledge base.
Building a house with your father, son and grandson... there’s something to be said about it! What a gift!!
This whole series is one heck of an education. Thank you for such a professional and watchable production. A true pleasure.
8:13 "I am not taking it to the fair..." loll... priceless in this context.
I’m in love with these videos so good
Seriously thought about putting on my safety glasses. You made it seem like I was right there watching you work.
An old Scottish carpenter told me when I was a young carpenter in Wales, "You can get away with 3/8" on your bottom rise only. Any more or anywhere else and you will feel it." He was absolutely correct. I've probably built over a dozen stairs this far, most of which were formed in concrete but the principle is the same.
Very thorough and well produced instructional
Thank you,
Wulfy
As a total neophyte i find this very interesting.....thanks so much for sharing.
I liked seeing you use a cutoff board as a counter weight to help make the cut on a single sawhorse. Very clever sir
This is one high quality human being right here folks. And the care he puts into his work is surpassed only by the care he shows his viewers. When i need advice on literally any project, I know exactly who to turn to.
As someone that does drywall I appreciate you.....
8.22 I'm not taking it to the fair. LOL my buddy Sonny is a heck of a framer he used to tell me we aint building a piano! I was a trucker for 20 years, I used to get tired of the road and ole Sonny would work me any time I needed a break from the road. I learned a lot from him. much respect to any good carpenter. Nice work enjoyed the video.
“I’m not taking it to the fair” Lol!!
Where I work people often say “we are building a Casio not Rolex!”
This guy is so folksy and down to earth it would be a genuine pleasure to learn from him. I could listen to him all day. Great video!
the joy of building its great and for me watching a more knowledgeable carpenter who i can learn from(watching video) is more than satisfying it also makes me want to go put my tools on and build something/anything thank you for taking the time to teach
Always a pleasure to watch these
Under stair closets are great for storage. I use mine for housing my network equipment, servers, routers, etc and electronics... if i was younger it would make a great fort... as long as you can make friends with the spiders and such.
I finally got around to watching this... I wanted to make sure I could actually watch and listen to this one and see if there was anything I missed in doing my stairs. I built a set of engineered stairs that are winders all the way up. Think a circular staircase with square edges all around it instead of circles. It turned out exactly how I envisioned it, and it is as solid as any stairs I've ever climbed. I might send you some pictures one of these days!
This is some of the joy of building: getting to come up with a solution or system for putting something together. Good video.
should add 2x4 to outside of stringer for drywall and to be able to drop the skirt board in
I use a 2x4 also. Allows for drywall and 3/4" skirt.
Yup. I’ve had to scribe a bunch of skirt boards to the stairs over the years. It’s a royal pain compared to being able to drop it in.
Do these stairs need a skirt board? They're sandwiched between two walls for the full length on both sides...
Kevin Vermeer skirt boards should be put on regardless if they're against a wall or open.
@@johnem4695 Why?
I don’t understand who gives these videos a thumbs down. Unless they are expecting Cy to randomly show up and build a knife!
You do beautiful work!
You are a boss! I only wish you put out more videos! Not saying you don't put out enough, rather that I could watch your content 24/7. Anyone having work done by you is a lucky man or woman.
I build 2 step winders and 3 step winders everyday. I build each as a single stair to be placed along with the straight stair. Each winder has it's own set of stringers and support points.
Your way is build as you go. Mine are built from 1 inch plywood and 2 by 10 risers with 2 by 12 stringers. I enjoyed your video, thank you.
in the UK we need to consider head height clearance...i think the minimum is 1950mm from tread nose to bulkhead or trimmer above...as you dont want to be skimming or even banging your head everytime you....our site manager would walk up any stairs with his clenched fist on top of his hard hat to check clearance was ok!
In the U.S. head height clearance is the same as doors, 6’-8” or 2032 millimeters.
🤜🤛
This has to be your best vid yet! And this is hard to do since all of your vids are among the best on RUclips
THE CARPENTER DAD channel is all about everything from Work life to Family life to Faith life. I’ve been a “consumer” of youtube for many years and we are now trying to give back to the community through sharing our lives. Thanks you for sharing this house build with all of us! Jason Hayward “THE CARPENTER DAD” -and local contractor -Building Life Together.
As a builder, not a framer, but a builder that can frame. Stairs have often times given me a fit when I’ve had to pick up and frame them. That being said this is a wonderful and very explanatory video. Thank you as always
I took a bit to wonder what being a ‘farmer’ had to do with it :D
Neil D shit.. I just noticed that.. 😂😂
I’ve been watching for years and have been in the trades since I was 17, I’m 25 now with a lot to learn and it would mean everything to me if I could learn from someone like you Day in and Day out. I wish I could be your apprentice!!
Glad you showed a palm nailer. So many people don't know about those.
I love the fact that you are open about mistakes. And my uncle always told me that is you haven’t screwed up yet then your not doing anything. Thanks for everything you and your family does for us
Best channel on youtube for sure
Nice video! The commentary and clips are well put together.
SIR.... you got taught very well. Your the real deal. Hands down
Good looking set of winding stairs. The only thing I would probably do different is at the bottom of each stringer you have your cut out for your nailer bored backwards. That cut is to help the stringer not kick out. I enjoy you videos and there are many ways to accomplish same task.😊
Palm nailer for the win!!!
You have much better hammer control than I, so it made me feel good to see you using my favorite tool for installing hangers and clips in tight spaces. Love my palm nailer!
I love you work ethic and skill.
LOVE THE BANJO PICKN
It doesn't matter how skilled you are it's nice to know your dad's right by your side , you for nath, and your dad for you .Nice
Watching this motivates me to build something. Just need to get through the 7-5 day job and then I'll be back to a set of 6 cherry dining chairs. They sound less complicated than stairs....
Love the music. Do a family CD. We'd buy one.
Such a great series to watch as an absolute rookie when it comes to making things. Ive never done carpentry just minor house fixes but have always been interested in building. I was just about as finished with watching concrete as you were and am happy youre framing.
I wish i was in the position to buy a house because how cool would it be to show friends how my house came to be. I dont think anyone has on their home of the full scope and visual representation that the home owner will have once this thing is sold. Thanks for doing all this hard work. It really opened my eyes to building in a way i hadnt experienced before.
Thank you once again for not overcutting the stair stringers with the circular saw, and instead coming back with a jig saw to finish the corner. Future stair jumpers will thank you for not having ruined stairs.
"I'm not taking it to the fair." Best line of the video!
Halfway across the world, my grandma uses this phrase constantly, and as soon as I heard it, it caught me off guard and gave me a smile to my face. :)
I love this guy!! Thank you
Straps are a great way to attach stringers to a landing great video I’ve always been fascinated by stair building I can watch this all day long
Thanks.
Okay a simple thanks does not say enough about all the fine teaching that you do. But, it is a heartfelt thanks!
I grew up in a house in Kaysville Utah, it was an older home. The front door was tall and radius at the top. Exterior was all brick and was rounded at every window top. Inside was a lot of oak and a specific stair case. A stair case just like the one you have built. I knew it was cool as kid but now as a craftsman myself, that was one hell of a cool stair case.
Here in the UK us joiners build our stair flights in a complete unit eg the strings routered to receive the treads and risers then glued and wedged. We would also at times build the winders in the same way as he did there as in separate units which I find a good solid job
My 100 year old house here in the US has stairs built that way
Speed and precision! That comes from years of experience.
Another excellent video presentation, and perfect timing too, as I am just drawing in the stairway in the plans for the proposed development of our lot. Thanks, and "Keep up the good work!"
we like to add a 2x4 to the outside stringers to allow for 1/2" drywall and the skirt board. Seems that you will need to notch your skirt board which is a time consumer as well.
LOOKS GOOD ! I GET LOTS OF GOOD INFO EVEN AS A SEASONED CARPENTER . BEST WISHES !
When you have to catch up on three weeks on the craftsman it's always a pleasure 😊😊😊🥰
I am enjoying this build immensely and really like the arrows that you use to indicate the part that is being explained.
Excellent video. Thank you.
lol... I couldn't wait to get home to leave this comment. Was helping my son build a workbench in his garage and I got to use the phrase...." I'm not taking it to the fair ". Thanks for the great videos and if I had to pay you for all the advice I've used in your videos I'd be poor and you'd be a little richer. Thank You
Good show! thank ya.
Excellent video. I love how you did the winder stairs. Codes are very important when doing stairs. You need to be familiar with head clearance as well. 6 ft 8 in is code in our area. Along with the minimum 6 in on tread noozings. I had to put a half bath under stairs. From 19 in on an elongated toilet leveled up from there with slop does pass code. Other then that if your rising up more then 7 3/4. Its a rough walk up or down. Ive been doing this 20 plus years. We all make mistakes even the best
Love these videos !
Man I just don't want these videos to end. And I wish there was a new one out every day. Of this series I mean. May I suggest you get yourself a portable table saw.
I really enjoy these videos!
A most relaxing, educational and enjoyable accompaniment to Sunday breakfast.......
Love your skill with the circular saw..havent seen it catch ..not even once:)
love that palm nailer!!!!
This video really helped me not loosing my mind while sowing my favorite hoodie back together.
These videos are a heck of a lot of fun to watch and learn from!
Scott your a beast... Thx for ur wisdom sir
Thank you for your videos. I just started watching. I’m a 38 year old man that was trained by father in framing. I was forced out of business due to the last recession, dwindling profit margins, a flood of illegal labor in South Louisiana, and greedy generation of men a generation or two above me who already had their money made. I was following the path of my mentor to “work hard and you’ll get there”. Now due to financial survival I work in a less desirable industry with no daily satisfaction. I have the dream of doing it again someday. I’ll continue to watch with that hope in mind.
