I'm looking to build my first set of stairs and would like to use plywood for the riser and tread as I like the look of them with the exposed edges. Part of my decor is in also in plywood so I would like the stairs to match/blend in. Now, I don't want any stringer showing so I would like a sawtooth stringer design.

My question is how can I achieve this with a winder turn? I can only find one example online (see link below) but it's not clear how it's put together at the turn. Any books or resources explaining how to achieve this?

My stairs will be agains a wall on one side and also on the top end.

Example of sawtooth stringer with quarter turn/winder

This is what I need but with sawtooth stringer like above.

I doubt you'll find a particular resource that's relative to your needs, but a good book on stair building is Simply stairs by Mark Milner, there are others but all based on trad styles

Its principally the same as a cut stringer stair, if you set out the tread plan on a ply sheet/rod you will be able to lift off your measurements.

You will need to beef up the cut stringers to carry the weight, and keep an eye on your rise and run dimensions, but it looks to me that you've already been on the stairbox builder site so the numbers are already worked out based on a <42 degree pitch angle.

One site worth a look for ply stairs design is Frilford

This is a quick reply happy to follow on.
