Premier Sponsor:   With Support From:

You may never find yourself faced with the challenge to build an elliptically shaped Grand Staircase, but one thing is certain, you must know the basics of stair construction at the very least. Our stairbuilding clinic, conducted by Jed Dixon, New England’s premier stairbuilder, provides solid useful instruction ranging from calculating and cutting rough stair horses to installing furniture grade handrails.  Jed’s detailed instruction will help you skillfully work on any level of stair building. (And in case you are planning to take on that grand staircase, Jed is just the guy to spend some time with.)  Stair Building Clinic
