You could watch him carve 1000 toothpicks and it would be still entertaining and educational.

@Matthiaswandel It's actually a pocket of air in the glue from filling the tube that gets pressurized when you pump it. The pressurized air continues to push glue out after you release the tension from the gun. It drives me crazy - seems like half the tube can pump out after each use.

Nice job, stairs are difficult and lots of work.
-
@Matthiaswandel LOL. AHA. THE case in which you wouldn't replace them. Can't people learn to build houses knowing I may be remodeling it later???? How inconsiderate.
-
Because that's 10x less work.

you seam skilled enough to do the stairs from the beginning... why bother with overlay?

Why not use 1/4 inch riser material?
tsthebeav 2 weeks ago
Might as well use the risers that came with the tread and riser kits. And beveling thin stock wouldn't really work.

aside from learning that treads might/should have been cut on site, wouldn't you also end up with a 3/4 higher step at the bottom? (I see you resolved the dilemma on the top stairs by having a whole new floor).

The stairs had carpet on them before, so putting these treads on just replaced the thickness of the carpet. I remember not having to make any adjustments for the bottom risers, sow with the new treads, they are all even. They were uneven after the carpet was removed.

I've done a similar job a number of times in the past, when people insist. I've gotten in the habit of making my own riser material from oak door skins. It's better than veneer, less material than plywood. I prefer to just remove the old risers and treads and replace them, but I understand why you might not do that in every case.
Still hoping for a "Build your own CNC router" video from you !!

The risers and treads on these stairs were mortised into the stringers, so to replace the treads and risers means replacing the whole stairs.
