Building the Stairs (part 1)

Having got the stringers to size I made a jig to mortise out for the treads
Using a collar on the router


And another to mark out the angle of the treads, so they are at least all the same

This took a couple of attempts to get the mortise a nice snug fit. Bear in mind not too tight so I can get the thing together and glued


What it should look like


In place an levelled up, just to check


And an idea of what they will look like


And yesterday the tiles arrived for the kitchen. Laid out dry to see what they look like. I particularly like the fact they vary in shade. Should make a nice floor!
