Looking great, Larry.

The little shed looks terrific. 

I like to leave a little overhang on my treads, as I think you have done.  I do work out where my 4x4's for the railing support posts are to go and cut little squares out of the appropriate treads flush with the side of the stringers before I glue them on.  This gives a nice flat surface to adhere the posts to.  Making these cuts after the stairway is assembled is extremely difficult to do without causing damage.  Not much help this time around, I know, but something to try with your next set.  Northeastern do timber stringers.  Rail Scale Models carry the old Rusty Stumps stair sets, laser cut with stringers and treads.  They also do jigs.  There used to be a company that did a variety of different sloped stringers, but I couldn't find them.  They had laser etched nail holes in the treads so I thought maybe BTS?  But I couldn't find them on the BTS site.  They might have closed down? 

Cheers, Mark.

Mark thank you for the compliment. Also thanks for all the information for my next set of stairs. I think I have the railings figured out but I'll be taking a little different approach. There are so many of the older companies closing down it's hard to keep up.

Mark, RS laser sold recently to Scott Grubbs. Old RS laser new website

Was looking and the assembly jig is still included in those stair stringer kits.

No idea about the laser nail holed ones but I remember them.
It is hard to keep up..
