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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a useful book, 25 Oct 2008
By Mr. M. G. Walker "Cowboy" (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!
