How to Make a Staircase Using Most of a Sheet of Plywood

Consider this puzzle: how can you make a staircase out of a single sheet of plywood and have as little wood left over as possible? That was the task of Instructables user Pilgrim55. It looks like he has only four pieces of scrap.

Not only is this resourceful, but it's also looks cool. I'd be curious to know how many square inches/feet of scrap were left in the end!

Clever solution ot a challenge, but a building code nightmare. Risers way too high, wacky stair spacing... I'm not sure what the point is.

Well Sid, it's obviously made to be a big huge non-moving target so that the owner of the trampoline has a shot at making it into the next Jackass movie.

Nothing splinters like a big fat guy smashing into plywood.

Hardly a staircase really is it? Neat trick, but at most it's a set of steps.
