Stair Measuring Device

Thanks! I'm just about to start cutting treads and risers and was wondering how I was going to do this. Now I know!

eye opener for DIY

Thanks!

I'm afraid I don't have plans, but that's probably best. Details vary depending on the situation. It's really just a matter of making two pieces of 1/4" ply, extending them to fill the width and angle of the space, then clamping them together as one. If you try it a few times you'll see where you need to cut and modify you wood.

Thanks for watching!

Another idea was taught to me by a boat builder. Use 1/4" (thick)strips -about an inch or two wide - place them all around the outside edge and "hot glue" them together. The glue dries almost instantly and you have a perfect template.

Great idea,Must admit that Ive never seen the brackets used before in place of a stringer,whats the purpose of that?

Brilliant. Haven't had the opportunity to try it, but it is so obvious, this works. Thanks.
