We’ll use microphones on the next one! Promise!!

6:00 I'd say it's about average.

This is exactly what I'm doing today to get 4 x 8 x 16 concrete blocks on the roof! Thanks for the video and ideas!

I'm totally going to build this one! I'm a single woman building my own house one half at a time and I wish I had thought of this a few years back when I started building. Back and knees saver!!!

I just picked up a 2000lb Badland winch on sale for $50.99. Amazing how cheap these things are. Looking forward to building a ladder/Wheelbarrow hoist of my own. Thanks for the video!

Fantastic idea.

I want to see a 2 story lift

Thanks boss. My roof is 25 ft. This is the 💩

Too slow.

The Harbor Freight furniture slides can cut friction by attaching with adhesive.

I had the exact same problem. My solution was to take both the levers units apart And only used just the orange throttle lever in the original John Deere unit. Use the original John Deere cables so everything was bent the proper way.

I built something similar to this some years ago. The only two extra things I did was to waterproof it and used thin nylon strips where it comes in contact with ladder. The platform and ladder won't wear.....I like your thinking...keep up the good work!!! My newest one has skate board bearings.

Do you have a written list of the hardware?

Nice little build. I think when I build mine, I won't worry so much getting the winch centered since only the pully at the top needs to be centered with the sled.

Really enjoyed this video…your delivery and presentation…and this is exactly what I was looking to build myself. Subscribed

One of your best videos yet! That cupola is looking beautiful.

nice tight fit on the roof! great job!

Very good.

Excellent Sir, great video, thanks!

You're over thinking it. It just needs enough room to not get stuck and big enough to handle what you put on it.

you have a problem when reaching to top. The design wont allow you to easily remove the material easily.

You know what the right pulley system You can do it by hand and rule out the motor altogether

Did you put the cable through some sort of pulley at the top? I couldn't see well enough.

Thanks for the detailed revision video. Very educational, but I just don't understand why in the US you insist on gluing everything together. Here in Europe, all our piping has a gasket that allows you to twist and turn, and remove and replace as often as you like. Makes life so much easier. And it is not something new. Maybe someone can explain this to me. Is it just a marketing ploy so you have to buy more fittings each time you want to change or extend anything? Greetings from Germany

Okely-dokely, neighbor

I just want to add: my statement “a living hell on earth from Nov-Apr,” refers exclusively to the weather :)

Thank you for posting this. I need to replace my roof and the rentals were all unavailable

Great Idea for my Dolly Hoist Project! 👌

Still no hangers in sight from 1918

This video is cool. Crush your competition with S M Zeus!!

"she thinks my tractors sexy, it really turns her onnn"

sexy camry

Awesome

Works great on a regular ladder but can you think of a design for a 20 ft. extension ladder? Also, at the top of the ladder, the lift will contact the eave where the ladder is resting. Maybe a "spacer" so the lift can get to the very top of the roof eave. Nice project!

Good editing!1!1!

This was a fun watch- love the intro & outtro, and the spy balloon edit! How do you have all this knowledge?! I don’t know about this stuff, but you sure made that “jungle throttle” do what you needed it to do!

Good video, I like the 4K quality!

Im building one of these this weekend. Id really love to know how you solved the turn around of the cable up top. I highly doubt the existing rope turnaround for raising and lowering the two halves of the ladder is any where near strong enough to withstand the forces of the winch and several sheets of plywood or shingle bundles

Nice job; this is actually a fairly rare tool build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

I don’t know if you’ve tripped over the tools and materials lying on the floor, but if you carry on working in that way sooner or later you’ll end up joining them on the floor!😮

you don't need the steel plate

Good Job, however two things bother me. If you ride up with your plywood you cannot step around it, if you make a simple four step ladder that fits up against the plywood you can climb over it before it passes the roof. This should hook on, if the wind catches a full sheet of plywood it could push it and you OFF of the ladder and become the knee crusher 5000, the leg breaker 5000, the "My Wife TOld Me SO 5000" So perhaps a second ladder to the side and secure this to the edge of the roof. THis is brilliant.

make a brace to the roof and attach it to the top of the ladder to get it away from the roofs edge, then you can run it all the way to the top. It will be much easier to unload. I cannot imagine the damage to your back leaning over the edge of the roof to get the shingles off the sled.

Oh my God that was painful to watch to lift it 8'

add wax to sled to make slide easier ...

Good video. To conserve power you could wait and flush just one-time at the end of the day. Lol

Thanks , seeing this project will help some people . It works which is good enough for some situations . It looks like this temporary device will be a wonderful assistant to your roofing project but there are issues with long term use. Now that I know how slow ( often an unrated feature ) one of these winches goes I will redesign some of my plans . Seeing some of your efforts will have me continue my use of thrift store rollerblading wheels as guides , there is a whole system for mounting to laminated or extruded fiberglass reenforced structures including mounting adaptation angle plates or pillow blocks to avoid localized stresses you almost completely avoided doing ( somone mentioned U-bolts ( perhaps with some durable hose ) to around ladder rung which would have a much better ( and slower thus detectable ) failure mode :) mounting some metals to aluminum also has issues especially in wet or humid environments .

Never drill holes in your ladder !

Can you double the speed by tackle block, say an or the hook and put the block pulley on the carriage? I would triple the strength on the hook mount board. Also add plastic skids to carriage made from old cutting board. Very good job.
