I am getting back to my stairway project and need some advise on installing the treads.
I am going to put Red Oak treads back on to replace the old ones. There are 16 treads to replace.
#1 Should I buy a stair tread measuring Jig ? or could I make one ?
Suggestions on a which one to buy or what plans for making one ?
#2 How should I fasten the treads down ?
Adhesive , Screw and face plug them. I have some Red Oak Face grain 1/4" plugs.
Adhesive , nail and fill nail holes with wood filler ? I don't have a air nail gun that would drive finish nails so....I would have to
pre drill them and hand nail them. So I would be pounding and might disturb some plaster/lath on the nearby walls.
Suggestions please...Thank you
I am going to put Fabulon clear coat on them for the finish.
Here are a couple photos of my Old stair case.
