Pro Tip: at 8:15, instead of measuring the handrail span up at the top of those posts, do it at the bottom (where the fasteners dictate the true dimension). Make your cut, and install back up top, with the assurance that doing so cancels any play or "splay" in the posts.

I always double up the end stringers that have the rail post attach to them. Especially on those pre fabricated stringers from Home Depot and the like. There are a few tools you should invest in that will make life a bit easier, say a 30 deg, half round nail gun, and those horizontal oscillating saws will do away with the old wood chisels.

Thank you for your comment. I thought of doubling the outside stringers but went with single simply because the steps are temporary.

5:00 These days, a modern deck builder would opt for easier-to-install fasteners like ThruLOK or HeadLOK screws (Spax makes equivalents), which don't require pre-drilling or two box-end wrenches to tighten. It's also likely that instead of making all those cuts to the 4x4's, they'd just leave 'em intact and frame 'em into the field of the deck (with double blocking below) for ultimate stability and weather resistance.

Love your videos. Only comment is that the nosing on the deck edge (at 7:34) hangs too far over the riser. Where I am the max it can be is 0.5" (12mm) but looks like 2" (50mm) and could be a trip hazard. Easily trimmed back (or add a plate to the riser face to pack it out) to sort but mentioned more for others who might be building. Great to see a dab hand at work, appreciated; you've enriched the world. Thanks! :)

I feel it would look much cleaner that way :)

Just a couple of comments,take it as you wish. 1 Top step of the stringer is never even with the deck,have you ever seen steps in a house do this? There are numerous ways to attach the stringer to the deck where it will never fail You can use a header board and notch the stringer tops or cut a 6 inch header into a similar cut out of the back of the stringer tops to name a couple.If you use pre -cut stringers you have no leeway on how you want it to look.Cheaper and not hard to make your own. 2. Overhang of the steps should be minimal code, its a tripping hazard if they jut out to far.Also leaving a little more space between the deck boards of the stairs will let water flow thru easier. 3. Your stair stringer posts will wobble and rot out in a few years with the notch cut out you use. If you plan ahead and sink all four posts in the ground it will never fail and always be strong. 4.Last thing is minor but I have always put the bark side of the crown up as water will flow thru instead of puddling on the bowl of the crown.

The one place you should have notched the railing posts to receive the stair railing you didn't. Those toe nailed screws will rot out and split that 2X4 in a couple of years and those balusters with the end grain pointed at the sky will saturate with water and split at the first frost. Balusters should be UNDER the rail not beside it! That whole stair railing will be a wobbling splintered mess in two years...guaranteed! Do you plan on replacing it every two years? This is all substandard carpentry that should never be approved by any building inspector. This is all under code amateur hour.

Thank you for your comment. The stringers are now out of date, making the stair treads too narrow and out of code, as of recently. Replacement is coming soon.

My 6"5", 260 pound, 90 year old uncle used those railings and never once did they wobble.

Why did you notch the posts? If you only want the strength of a 2X4 why didn't you just use a 2X4? Cutting away half the post right where it needs o be the strongest , makes no sense at all. Have you ever thought any of this through? Those posts should be INSIDE the rim joists and through bolted to the rim and at least one joist. Putting them on the outside of the rim with screws is not code. Outward force on the rail will put rotational force on the rim joist and pull it right away fro the joist ends. How are you attaching the rim to the joists? Whatever you used to attach the rim to the joist ends is all that gives the post and rail any any resistance to outward lateral force at all. It better not be stubby joist hanger nails or end grain screws. That won't cut it. This is no where near code compliant.
