How is this possible.

Stringers are a problem. I like to pre-drill my holes for screws. The black stringer looks like a composite with a veneer. With the white on the edges it sort of looks like formica.

Now that's something new right.

Yes, stringers are a problem When you threaten their grain direction like, ya know, all wood But, that is not the direction of force on then That’s why they have worked for hundreds of years That stringer he was breaking was also old dry wood which is not what is used when building stairs

@IndianaGPA Makes sense forsure.

@IndianaGPA I just don’t love any video that goes here a problem and then suggests a new wonderful solution when the problem is really overblown. If there is an actual problem with traditional stringers, it’s that the lumber to build them has become stupidly expensive.

That's why you use yellow pine for stringers.

People need to know right.

I imagine that is composite, which is probably way more expensive than yellow pine. I have built hundreds of stairs with yellow pine and never had any issues except them being heavy as fck

It’s a laminate.

WoW.

@MAGA_X_Times Looks like BS to me not a fair comparison at all

@MAGA_X_Times Ok understand that completely.

@MAGA_X_Times What do you expect from a misfit lol

Is it the coating that changes the way the wood reacts?

Good question.

Or you have blunt the tip of the nails? But that would not explain howe it resists the hammer...

Exactly makes sense.

But it could be explained if your triangles are cut with the grain positioned vertically and not horizontally along the weakened lines ...

It’s something to do with the materials. It’s either the finish or the entire makeup. It could also possibly be different wood species.

That definitely makes sense forsure.

😶

Once you put the treads and risers on, it is strong. What is your point exactly?

They certainly are once you do that.

@its_The_Dr What’s the difference ?

Ok thats iron wood ten times as much and never needed for stringers

Use the right wood

Understand that completely.

Pre-drill you moron.

New wood VS old wood. They cut trees down way to early now. Just look at the rings. Vikings used to harvest in the winter so zero moisture or sap was at the lowest point. Then they let them sit in water and age. We need to stop cutting corners. That's why jobs keep disappearing and skills die off with generations.

The first one is wood, the second one appears to be some sort of composite

@FlagAndFire I didn't catch that the first time. Show me again. 😜🤣

@FlagAndFire Definitely two times.

@FlagAndFire HAHAHA.. Shh... Im still watching it.

Oh wow plastic fake wood

@its_The_Dr Ponderosa pine, or a conifer that is brittle, light and dosent hold well

What is it, a composite? I see the grain but it could be fake.

Canadian lumber?

@IndianaGPA Wood stringers do not need to have any of those capabilities.

TIL what 'stringers' are

well the quality in wood makes a big difference, and steel brackets is better than using this type of cut for forming staircases

This is reinforced with Advantex Fiberglas composite structural material made by Owen Corning. I have built several deck using this material for the joists and for the stair stringers. It’s extremely consistent in size and nice to work with. It comes in different colors also

The first one is natural wood the second is veneered M.D.F , ...

Ebony is stupid dense.

gini kan perfeck sekali

@hightide172 Solid wood vs. laminated material

So if the customer isn’t going to pay extra for the composite you will lose money on a stair. I’ve never seen a stair fail, using the same pine stringers for 100s of years. It’s not exposed to the elements, and unless your partner weighs 900lbs the pine stringers will be fine.

Bad wood.

Is he a real Misfits fan, or is it just a "cool shirt"....
