Product Description
Synopsis
Stairway design and construction is a cornerstone of homebuilding. This is where carpenters show off their skill in combining safe, solid construction with suitable dimensions, excellent craftsmanship and (more often than not) impressive measures of ingenuity. Even in the simplest of houses, building a stairway can be a complex project. That is where this book comes in: it contains a selection of stairbuilding projects that cover a broad range of details relating to design, fabrication and installation. It's all here - from simple, site-built utility staircases to elaborate spirals. For Pros, By Pros series: written by professional builders who actually do the work, then offer the very best design and construction advice plus building site-proven tips and techniques. Professional Building Guides: these are the very best books in Taunton's highly successful home-building backlist, completely revised and updated, redesigned and now illustrated in full colour. Fine Homebuilding is the leading international journal for home builders and architects.

I'm a professional, apprentice served carpenter. During those years I worked with stair construction for about twelve months. I purchased this book to get around a problem I was'nt sure about. .. What a treat. The book is loaded with new ideas. Although written by American crafters, don't be fooled into thinking its of no use to us Brits. If you only ever purchase one book on making stairs in your entire life... Make it this one!

There dont seem to be many books on staircase building by UK authors. This one is very useful, but the US style of stairmaking is a bit different to the UK.
More of a book to dip into for ideas & a few tips, rather than a step-by-step guide.
Well written with lots of diagrams & pictures & good value for money.

I was really pleased with this book. Had been a little concerned that it would concentrate on traditional American-style staircases, but it actually included some really interesting contemporary styles, with very clear illustrations and text on how to go about building them.

Stairs made easy
This is an American book of articles from a magazine, but it has nearly all you need to build a selection of stairs, in particular cut stringers(easier for the average DIY)

beginner on staircases
An interesting book with plenty of ideas, if not a bit complicated for beginners. Although an American book, still had plenty of information, which is basically the same wherever. Read more
