@shark scaffold I have so much respect for you scaffolders now I put my first one up for my self same size as video I am fairly strong but it was hard work you make it look easy

[@alexcarter5944]

That’s how I used to do it as well. Nice vid

[@garymugford3273]

No baseplates? No problem 😂

[@fr1endsies]

Jobs a full board out on the 10th lift? No problem! Just jump on it until it fits

[@user-hi4wf6mh1o]

Your some grafter mate not many of yous left. 👍

[@ianwaller5036]

[@fatscaff3670]

If I’m on my own I’ll put me sprags straight on swivels so me taker is straight in

[@whostroubled]

Been waiting on this one ! My guy 💪🏼. PLEASE BUY A NEW TAPE😂😂😂😂😂

[@lloydwright3661]

I was taught a completely diffent way to base out, maybe your way is easier when youre on your own but it seems to add steps and cause issues we dont come across...

[@user-bd6nm7du2j]

As some one who did 10 years on the spanners from age 25-35 ....now 59 , i love watching you work ! Just one question though please.....why no base/sole plates ? keep up the great work and be safe up there. Ps , if i lived closer , i would offer my services as a yard boy. Ps , i just googled your level ......how much !?!?!😲

[@turf-1304]

Quality mate nice one for sharing this

[@mattdrake2065]

Nice one Sharky. I’d do it exactly the same.

[@chrisdonner2910]

Thank you for sharing!

[@FromScratch2thetop]

Can you just use 10ft standards bolted together to make them 20ft as my van is not big enough for 20ft poles

[@WorldCommander]

I have frame and brace scaffolding but need to cantilever out 48". Can you combine components of the tube and clamp with the S-style frames to do it?

[@cliffordphillips8390]

Heres my two cents. measure the bottom, then rather than measuring yer pinch rod and sticking it in at waist height, stick it in at ledger level (either as an aberdeen or transom) and then level your standard (from the point your measured out at the bottom). Diagnal and upright temps in then bosh... faster and yer bend doesn't twist up everywhere when ya start tying things off not straight

[@StevenDarvill-nv4ez]

Base plates ??

[@threatassessment216]

Thank you sir ❤️

[@dhewitt2514]

I know nothing about scaffolding and this was really interesting. Quick question- what height should you tie it into the building?

[@shiroism8039]

Once every 4M ( Vertically) is AUS/NZ standard not sure about UK

[@ivankainz8347]

Keep it up son More chimney work felgemacher Masonry and chimney

Is there a handy way to start a bay on your own without something to lean it up against?

[@Manifest_station369]

I gave up scaffolding 1 year ago. Yourcmaking me wana hump back on the spanner 😂.

[@Lucidchronicles]

What would you do if it was for a rendering job and need a gap between the wall and scaffold?

[@SharkScaffold]

No inside board. And nothing touching the wall

[@user-xm5lf4dv5s]

You never put any tie tubes in on doubles .. ever ? Litterslly jus a few braces holding it all together ?

[@myrocrad7229]

Would be careful uploading videos of yourself without harness and helmet. Other than that. 👍🏻

[@kf9926]

He’s the cameraman

[@strictlybangers]

i see a lot of scaffolders using fittings/pins that are very rusty. what do you use to keep it from rusting together and seizing up?

[@SharkScaffold]

Your meant to use some kind of lubricant, but constant use keeps them from seizing 👍🏻

[@strictlybangers]

Great, thank you @@SharkScaffold

[@WilliamBone-f3r]

Why do you not have a safety hat on at all times a done scaffolding for 13 years and couldn't be on site without one love watching your videos right enough but safety first bud

[@ryno8547]

@shark scaffold what should measurements between ledgers be

[@SharkScaffold]

Depends how many boards wide. 3 boards wide (24 inchs inside to centre). 4 boards wide (33 inchs inside to centre). With those measurements the toeboard would sit on top of the boards.

[@SharkScaffold]

5 boards wide (42 inches inside to centre) if you want toeboards to sit on the transoms just add 1.5 inches to those measurements.

[@ryno8547]

@@SharkScaffold I mean upwards like first one how height off floor and then measurement to next one

[@SharkScaffold]

@ryno8547 it can be what ever you want. Normally it’s 2m

[@ryno8547]

@@SharkScaffold thank you

[@GK-fq3cy]

Whats the typical height between lifts

[@SharkScaffold]

About 6ft (1.8m)

[@GK-fq3cy]

@@SharkScaffold so that's ok for say plasters working, etc

[@ashleyt4565]

@GK-fq3cy 2M is standard lift height

[@alexsinclair8565]

You should use dog bones easier on ya own

[@cvids999]

Less measuring less fittings win win and easier too base out he could do so well with bones and a labourer

[@Love-ty8wn]

Can you make a video about RUX scaffolding?

[@SharkScaffold]

What’s that?

Is that in Lesbury mate?

[@SharkScaffold]

No it was miles away, in a place called Fontburn👍🏻

[@NorthEastMick]

@@SharkScaffold I’m sure I’ve been there when I was a kid fishing. If I’m not mistaken there’s a reservoir there that you can catch trout in. Good video as always mate and get your fittings sorted, they look like you’ve picked them off the bottom of the Tyne lol

[@SharkScaffold]

That’s the place👍🏻😂
