Stairs, continued... Just finished milling out the four grooves on the underside of the two steps that will accommodate the ribs. It all came out very nicely! It's kind of amazing what you can do with a router and a couple of straight edges...
Then I did a trial fit of the steps onto the ribs; first time I've done that. I had to sand about 1/64" off of one of the ribs for it to fit into the groove, but once I did that: voila! That's a good approximation of what the stairs will look like once installed. There's a cross-member going between the two ribs, and it will be (barely) visible. The finish will, of course, dramatically change the appearance. But so far as the
shape of the stairs goes, this is a very good approximation...
