I am Making a ladder for my Mezzanine area in the garden room. I used some nice joinery grade softwood from my local supplier and set about making the ladder. Using roof rafter setting out techniques I laid out the housings in the stiles or strings and then using my roofing square I used a small circular saw to make the cuts very quickly, then it was onto moulding the edges and the tread material before chopping out the housings with a chisel and then flattened with my bearing guided router cutter that I use on my hinge jigs
The assembly was easy using wood glue and 50mm stainless steel 18g brad nails followed by secret screwing the treads with 60mm trim screws
The new ladder hooked over my apron lining really nicely and I am super pleased with it
Cost of material £85.00 including VAT
And about 5 hours to make it, (would have been less but I was also filming for myself!!!)
Like the Video? Maybe buy me a coffee!!
