Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the art of stair building, a craft that the author acknowledges is often poorly understood by both architects and workers. The text focuses on the practical aspects of stair construction, providing detailed instructions on laying out, assembling, and finishing various types of stairs, from simple straight flights to winding, platform, and dog-legged designs. The author delves into essential topics such as determining the proper proportions of treads and risers, understanding the role of strings and newels, and constructing well-holes. The book also incorporates a detailed section on the steel square, a tool essential for accurately measuring and cutting the components of a staircase. This focus on the steel square reflects the historical context of carpentry and construction during a time when this instrument was an indispensable part of the trade. The author's emphasis on practical mastery and the importance of precise execution demonstrates the enduring value of traditional craftsmanship in building design and construction. Beyond the practical instructions, the text also touches on the aesthetic considerations of staircases, arguing that a well-built stairway is an important element in creating a positive impression of a home or building. By offering a clear and thorough guide to the principles of stair building, this book empowers readers to create staircases that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
