that are solid and attractive. Whether you need to build three steps
up to a deck or a full flight to your second floor, this one-on-one

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's why the editors of Fine Homebuilding magazine have compiled a selection of
stair-building articles that covers a broad range of details relating to design,
fabrication and installation. Its all here -- from simple, site-built utility
staircases to elaborate spirals. |

Andy Engel takes the reader from a simple structure built of framing
lumber to a set of stairs fit for a king. From building and
installing railings to using off-the-shelf stair parts, Building
