Hello... any stairbuilders out there? go to group called staircases, hardwood. I just started it. Looking for conversation with professional stair guys.



If ya got questions, just ask. I build more than my share of stairs, and I'm sure there are plenty of others here that can help as well. --dave

RE: Subject

Just curious.

A question for the stair builders.

How often do you find yourself building a set of stairs that is other than a 3-4-5 right triangle?

(ie: 6" rise, 8" tread)

Howdy there mister Mike, What say you about the stair business locallly? Busy?

I was unable to find your group, sorry! --dave

hmmm, staircases,hardwood.... i'll look into it Where you from?

Staircases, Hardwood it seems to work. Try again. You and i can get this group up and going. Other stair people will join in.

I'd say my average is normally a 71/8" to 71/2" rise and 10" to 11" run. (The average angle is about 35-37 degrees.) In fact, I can't off hand remember building any that fell into a perfect 3-4-5 rt triangle. --dave

Dave, It's a google group, not under rec.woodworking. Just (Staircases, Hardwood)

Do you have a link? I have earthlink news and just entered the group name into the newsgroup search with no luck. --dave

Mike, Nice website. How about some information on different suppliers, etc. Are you using Chinese parts? Seems we're almost exclusively using them.

Yup, _THE_ stair builder hangs out here on occassion:

If you need to know anything about stairs and much more, he's your man.

I found ya and will check it out tomorrow. Time to shut this thing down for the night, and enjoy some cold ones. Later --dave

Most of the stairs I've seen and built have been 7 to 7-1/2" rise and 10 to 11" run.
