A step-by-step guide to straight stairways

Greg Vanden Berge’s guide focuses on designing and building straight stairs, with instructions covering stair-stringer layout and construction across different sizes. The description places it within a series devoted to distinct stair types; this volume concentrates on the straight-stair basics that are also included in the series’ books on landings and winder stairs. Its emphasis is practical and specific: planning the layout and assembling the stairway, rather than surveying carpentry broadly.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • DIY builders seeking instructions for designing and assembling straight stairs
  • Carpentry professionals looking for a focused reference on stair-stringer layout
  • Readers comparing the series’ guides to straight stairs, landings, and winder stairs
