My father taught me how to make one of these years ago. It's so amazingly simple, and it makes installing stair treads a breeze. Surprisingly, every carpenter I've met, has never even seen one of these jigs. You could spend some time making a really nice looking jig that worked like this, but I needed one right away, and couldn't find my old one, so I just quickly put this together and decided to film the process. It cost me less than $4 in nuts and bolts, and using scrap MDF. I've seen some tread jigs available to buy, but I feel like anyone who will be attempting to install treads and risers, should be able to make one of these themselves very quickly. Thanks for watching !

The music was written and recorded by me, with the vocals removed, mainly because the songs aren't done yet. I just wanted to add some sound to the video. The first song features some backing vocals by Laura Jo Trexler . Feel free to check out her music at -
