As the rise goes down, the run needs to go up correspondingly, or vice versa.

To summarize:

The rise plus the run (r+R) should be within an inch of 18”.

Twice the rise plus the run (2r+R) should be within an inch of 25”.

IRC code limit stair:
rise r ≤ 7 3/4″
run R ≥ 10″
r+R = 17 3/4″ (good)
2r+R = 25 1/2″ (within range)
→ stair will be comfortable

#2 – A Handscrew Is a Stop Block, Too

My drill press fence has a built-in stop block, but for some tasks I need a second stop block. On those occasions, I simply clamp a handscrew to the fence at the desired position.

#5 – Turn a Handscrew into a Bench-Top Vise

Did you know you can plane a long board held in a bench vise without the need for a deadman? Here’s how. First, glue or screw a board as a wing to the side of the outer jaw of a handscrew. Then, secure one end of the workpiece in the handscrew and clamp the wing in the vise. Now, you have a benchtop vise working for you!

• Mask off work before gluing to avoid drips

The goal of mechanizing certain creative processes in problem solving is attainable, but not in the near future. The problem is to find workable computer procedures for evolving ``appropriate'' representations in given problem-solving situations. The answer may lie in the extension of ideas that were developed for some elementary theory-formation procedures.

7. What do you want to achieve before things return to normal?
