Hello all,
I am working on a large winder step and need some tips on how to best install with T&G flooring on it. The shape of it makes it challenging to measure things and won't let "slide" the planks in. It's a triangle with one curved side and 2 straight sides. The nose is 65" long.
If you look at both ends of the nosing piece (2nd picture), you can see, because of its shape, it will be locked in by the square corner and can't be moved back and forth. I can only think of building the whole piece and drop it in. I am measuring and cutting one piece at the time. I use a straight edge to mark the location of the previous piece (the 1st picture shows the 2nd piece butted against the straight edge marking the location of the nosing). First, start marking the nosing piece and work inward to the back of the step. I find it pretty hard to carry and place this big piece that is only attached by T&G. There will be 6 rows of flooring w/ the nosing.
Should I use wood glue to secure them together? Is it easier to use one or 2 pieces along the length?
How would you approach this?
Thanks much
