I finished cutting the boards today. The step, only one needed, is basically a box that is 11 inches deep and 6 inches high. The one that is 6 feet long has a couple of reinforcements in the middle as well as the end pieces. The 3 foot long step has 1 reinforcement. The whole step is 6 inches high and the decking boards, which are 5 and one half by 1 inch, on top and bottom account for 2 inches. The vertical sides of the box, the end pieces, and the internal bracing, need to be 4 inches wide. I ripped them down out of the decking boards. When I was cutting the end pieces and internal bracing I found out about kick back. I was standing out of the line of fire. Sue had read me the warnings in the owner's manual so I knew to stay out of the way. The first stick to be thrown almost hit my radio so I moved it out of the way. When I was ripping the edges off the 3 foot and 6 foot boards there wasn't any kick back. Because the edges of a decking board are rounded, I had to rip off both sides to get a flat edged board for the vertical sides and the braces. All the pieces for both steps are cut and tomorrow is put them together day.
