#ad The automotive corner of the shop is off to a great start with the @Toolgrid system and all the @Milwaukee Tool mechanics tools

#ad Time to start assembling these stairs! First step is getting all the treads on the wall side of the stairs glued and set in the mortises. I used the @Festool Canada TXS 18 and TPC 18 drills to drill the pilot hole and drive in the GRK screws to suck the tenons tight into the mortises instead of using clamps as it was faster and if I used clamps I would have had to do it in sections as I wouldn’t have had enough clamps to do them all at once @Titebond Products

Laying down some @Toolgrid tiles and setting in all the 1/2”, 3/8” and 1/4” socket holders both imperial and metric to organize all the @Milwaukee Tool sockets

Putting the second stair stringer on. Lifted it in place, made sure everything was lined up right, got it part way on, added some @Titebond Products 3 to help make it so the stairs wouldn’t squeak, hammered it all the down and added the @boratool clamps. I’m sure some will be a bit critical that I used glue and clamps after I spent all the time making the wedged tenons. Yes it’s true I didn’t need the glue for strength or to hold the stairs together. I used it to prevent squeaking but I also wanted the look of the wedged tenons and I wanted to try make them. Yes also could have not used clamps and just used the wedges but since I put the glue in and was on a timer and work alone it was better to just add the clamps quick to get things in place just in case I had any issues with the wedges 👍

#ad Now a final stair tread sand and test fit with the @Festool Canada ETSC 2 cordless sander before moving on to glue up. Having the light on this sander is amazing!

#ad Cutting the stair stringers to final dimensions with the @mafell.de_offiziell ZSX carpentry chainsaw and angle guide

Some fine tuning with some sharp @suizan_japan chisels #woodworking

Another way to cut the tenons on the stair treads is to use the King table saw with a dado blade set

The easy side of the stairs all done. Now on to the pass through wedged tenons on the other side

#ad Vacation tools! Pretty neat cordless cooler/warmer from @Einhell Canada 👍 you can plug it into your car, into an outlet or use a battery. Took the family to the Oregon coast and this has been used some days to keep food and drinks cool and other days to keep it warm since Oregon weather changes its mind often 😁

#ad Another way to cut the tenons on the stair treads is fasten the tread to the side of the @Festool Canada MFT table and attach a tenon template using some @Titebond Products InstantBond glue and then cut the tenon with the OF 1400 router

#ad Setting up to cut stair tread tenons with the @Whitehill Tools combi cutter head

Cutting mortises for wedges in the tenons with the @mafell.de_offiziell chain mortiser

Need to get the stairs a bit lower so I can work on the tenons. Lift it with the Barth table, lower the @boratool sawhorse legs and then set it back down 👍

First step when using the @Turbosawmill is to trim off the top and then you can start milling the boards or beams you want and optimize grain direction

Straight line ripping one side of the stair stringer with the @mafell.de_offiziell MKS 185 on a few tracks with track connectors and then flipping the fence down and ripping the other side parallel to the first side

#ad What an incredible saw!! This is the @mafell.de_offiziell MKS 185 Ec and it’s a pleasure to use!

#ad First test cut on the @Laguna Tools KX:24, put down a piece of walnut and secured it in place with the @Bow Products clamp kit and used some @Amana_Tool_Europe to take the machine on its maiden voyage. @amana_tool_europe

#ad Making a jig for the table saw with the @Festool Canada CXS 18 drill and CENTROTEC bits 👍 Some @Titebond Products Instant bond to hold things in once just right and then drill pilot holes and then sink the screws in

Had a flat on the quad so grabbed the @Einhell Canada impact gun and @Milwaukee Tool impact sockets and pulled the tire off and took it a couple minutes away to our small town co-op and they fixed it right away and then I could pop it back on the quad 👍
