## Description

Simply Stairs: The Definitive Handbook for Stair Builders [Milner, Mark] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Simply Stairs: The Definitive Handbook for Stair Builders

Review: THE go to manual for professional stair building - Milners book should be required reading for all serious stair builders. Its basically a shop manual of best practices for stair building. It covers everything from straight housed stringers stairs to curved stairs and railings. Some of the highlights include how to build a form for a curved stair, how to make router jigs for routing the stringers, how to make a bullnose starting step, and how to make a curved miter returned nosing and all the math needed to plan out the stair. Most chapters are project based, meaning he teaches while building a complete project in the shop from beginning to end. For readers in the United States be aware that all measurements are in metric. This is easily dealt with by buying a metric tape measure for reference. I still work in inches and have no problem using the information. The plentiful pictures help the reader understand what they are reading. Highly recommended!
Review: A must have for any stair builder! - I can't say enough good things about this book. Ive purchased many books over the years to do with carpentry and woodworking and this has to be one of the best , I just hope the author chooses too write more. This book is well thought out from start to finish. Shows many different forms of stairs from straight runs to open rails , L shaped and even curved stair cases as well as railings. Each one explained in detail with many pictures on the different steps to complete the set. The attention to detail along with the pictures makes this book invaluable. I can't stress enough how many detailed pictures are in this book, so if you are a novice stair builder this will really help you make sense of anything you may be confused about. You can not go wrong buying this book!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative,Tons of photos
*by T***E on April 12, 2016*

I am am experienced carpenter although I am a bit new to stair building and handrailing. I bought this book both to read through and use as an "on the job" guide for my projects. I found it to be very useful and it answered questions I didn't know I had. Pros: Tons of great photos. Examples of many different styles of stairs. A lot of handrailing info. Easy to understand. Con: The author is from the UK so for those of us in The States the metric system may throw you off but the methods and principals are spot on! Remember to follow all of your local codes.
