Any tools or any type of mechanical assistance required
to build and construct a staircase, could be referred to as equipment.
Circular saws, framing squares, power tools and other hand tools, along
with forklifts and cranes, fall into the category of equipment.
Believe it or not, when I framed stairways for large
housing tracts, I only needed my nail bags, framing square, stair
gauges, circular saw, extension cord, hammer, level, pencil, tape
measure and chaulk line, to build a rough set of stairs.
I'm not even going to start on the list of equipment that a finish
carpenter needs to build a simple stairway hand railing system. You can
practically double the amount of tools required, to build a straight
handrail and triple the tools needed to build a curve or circular one.
One thing's for sure, in the construction business, if you're planning
on building anything, you will need some equipment, how much you
actually need, depends upon the difficulty of the project.
