Stair Tread Job.

[Ernesto]

Thank goodness Nick sold me his Stair Wizard because this stair case was so crooked, every step was larger and different angles on sides. See the first five or so pics on the slideshow. Took me half a day to prep these nasty things. Next time I'm just going to tell people to put on new ones.

Thanks Nick. You'll never see me install another one without my Stair Wizard thats for sure.

Welcome .

Ive got a funky looking metal thing that slides with arms that sit against the stringers to get the angles. Are you telling me theres something better?

Sounds similar to a Stair Wizard Ken. The pro Line II Stair Wizard is much like the Pro Stair Wizard cept it is beefier and stained. If you were paying attention earlier on the other thread,

Heck, if I had my druthers I'd be doing stairs all day every day instead of flat lay square footage.

 

[Ken]

Thats almost the same thing I have. Mine is metal though.

 

[Ken]

Have you seen that thing that Pro Knee is selling now? I think its called the treadman. I wonder if its easier to use than what Im using.

 

[Ernesto]

Someone asked about it, never seen it but I heard about it.
I can't really envision anything simpler than the Stair Wizard jig.

I used to measure or glue sticks together like the granite guys do.

 

[Ernesto]

Oh ok, I saw it before. But no way am I paying 500 ducats for that thing.

Very pretty. What's the story with the wood floor repair?

You mean the one pictured in a kitchen in the slide show? The house had a huge remodel prior to me putting in flooring. Then a year later the drain collapsed where the GC decided to save them some money and connect the kitchen drain to the old pipes. They had to come in and cut out the slab, 12 inches of concrete.

For free? How nice.

 

[Ken]

I wouldn't mind paying as long as it made it easier than what I'm doing now. No matter how good I cut the tread, I still get a little gap. Did you caulk your stairs on the sides. I got mine from woodwise for like $125.

But the case turns into a cutting block!

I'm on their trainer/instructor list. Every time they come out with something new they send it to me. I won a pair of proknees in some contest a dozen or so years ago. They sent me the 07 model in '07 and parts (buckles, linings, straps, etc.) ever since.

But I cut them on my SCMS?

So, you train on how to use pro knees?

 

[Ken]

Step one: unwrap proknees.
Step two: put on pro knees
Step three: you finished at step two.
