Master carpenter Scott Schuttner shows how to build two common staircases: a straight-run stair with plywood treads and risers (to be covered with carpeting), and an L-Shaped stair with house oak treads and risers.

You'll also learn how to: calculate the rise and run, lay out and cut stringers, position carriages, accommodate drywall and skirtboards, fasten risers and treads, make a newel post, and how to cut anchor balusters and a handrail.
