I bought this system two yrs ago, sometimes I think back to some of the nightmares I have had prior to using this...along with the vanguard chimney scaffold, all I can do is thank God for this system

[@GourmetGaloreNET]

I love this - because it's simple, easy and looks sturdy (not flimsy)! Excellent design!

[@fringestream990]

You'd think you'd see these all the time but they are new to me.

I teach fall arrest training program ... and I must say this is one of the most innovative devices I've seen .Great job !!! a wonderful safety device .

[@kevinolesik1500]

fantastic invention ! wonderful engineering idea ... so functional and simple

[@dennismilton9078]

Nice video! Made by workers for worker's, without any bullshit. I've had to makeshift and nail through roofs for years. Always funny when I tell people that while I'm doing their roof I could fix their chimneys and they go cheap. Only to call back in later to do it after I've replaced the roof, you can't do it then. Because the new shingles completely seal together for better wind resistance.

This is a perfect solution for me to do roof repairs and chimney repairs on my home. I will have to build mine though. I have more steel than I have money. But if I get to making some money I might have to order a set as a thank you for the idea. The set I build will be different though.

[@perecmanfirmnyc]

Anyone who works on roofs shares the same concerns. It's great there are new methods and tools being developed that can improve worker safety.

[@Shonuff42080]

Those old wood pump jacks I don't miss those things.

[@westcoastrepairshandymanse4682]

This is one of the most clever and ingenious devices I have seen. Bravo.

[@The4x4Hick]

We just use two hook ladders with 2x6's that u-bolt to the hook ladder to build are roof scaffold on. same idea but ares donst use expensive brackets

[@DNR1982]

GOOD STUFF. HOPE YOU BECOME A 1%'ER AND CAN SHOW OTHERS THIS IS HOW YA DO IT!BTW HOW WAS THE PATENT PROCESS? IVE GOT A COUPLE OF IDEAS TO MAKE WORKING A LOT EASIER, BUT HAVE BEEN DISCOURAGED BY OTHERS SAYING THE PROCESS WAS TOO ARDUOUS & EXPENSIVE.

[@Reelifeproductions.]

@SuperTruebrit hah. ya, never know. we've got a bunch of characters over here, for sure. Well, good to know you're paying attention :)

[@MountainDreamLand]

Sure wish I had seen these before building mine out of plywood that weigh about 50 lbs each !

[@dutchshinewindows484]

Would this be useful for gutter cleaners?

[@jasonweigert2308]

Awesome

[@stevencooper4877]

Great bit ov kit

[@GloucesterFisherman]

@SuperTruebrit Have you not seen a chimney sweep before?

[@GloucesterFisherman]

I'm surprised none of them said it was "wicked pissah", lol.

[@lorenrives9702]

Could these be used to establish a tie off for a safety line?

[@pbaylis1]

Once in position, it would be great if you could move it sideways on wheels too.

[@chrisw5742]

Mound skateboards under the planks sideways. You would need 8 of them.

[@Pippinm7]

What do you recommend for did ladder hooks? working on an aluminum detached garage roof. Thank you.

[@stephenbushway9885]

Most building supply companies (and Home Depot) sell "ladder ridge hooks". Get the ones with a wheel on the other side so you can roll it up the roof without risk of scratching the metal.

[@Pippinm7]

Stephen Bushway I appreciate the help. Looking to repair some leaking fasteners on a metal roof any suggestions on which type of sealant to use over the fasteners? Thanks for the content!

[@stephenbushway9885]

@@Pippinm7 I've had good luck with silicone. Make sure the surfaces are dry. The stuff hates water.

[@michaelperry4398]

Could I screw a D into the 2x and tie off with a harness?

[@dennismilton9078]

Coming from the back with carriage bolts.

[@danezzamedina6281]

Now a das you need fall proteciton when working on a room.

[@stephenbushway9885]

Thanks for the comments! We made another shorter video in 2016 that shows how to custom build staging for situations that require it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqmYhHehbJtsetU

[@telosfd]

Nice and secure system, but i prefer self nuts bolts.

[@SuperTruebrit]

Of this type yes- in Mary Poppins,Haha! "I Luvs Ya Mary Poppins!"

[@SuperTruebrit]

hahahaa! guy at the meeting (1:24) in a top hat! wtf! Is this head wear often worn by american builders?

[@danezzamedina6281]

Your crossbraces don't comply with OSHA regulations. You need mid rail and top rails.

[@oneyaker]

Great product. I built similar ones for chimney rebuilds long time ago. Funny thing how the guy walks up on the slippery BS contraption ridgehook ladder which is used now because the safety nazi imbeciles banned the steel thin wall tubing "chicken ladder" ridgehooks from the market in the 90's even though they provide hand grip and secure footing with the rungs further off the roof. Had to weld up my own too.

[@michaelperry4398]

I have a real "chicken ladder" they still sell them. It's blue. The one I have is a dedicated chicken ladder. Wich one are you saying is banned?

[@oneyaker]

@@michaelperry4398 Yes, the blue ones. It was banned for a while in the 90's after some accident and OSHA nixed it. I made 2 including the extensions from chrome molly tubing. Exact copies.

[@michaelperry4398]

@@oneyaker o never knew that, but not banned anymore? as I just bought a new one a few well actually maybe 5 years ago?

[@rogerwilson6624]

The wood they are using looks like A 1 X 8 not A 2 X 8

[@BIODIESEL1962]

Hear all my life, I've thought it was being lazy that inventions came from. Now I know I can add to it FEAR. Born into a 100 year old roofing family,(and I being afraid of heights!) my father invented many items to ease our workday. (Pitch & Slag still HELL any time we worked) he invented an automated Pitch Kettle. Kept it at 400 by just plugging it in to a 110 outlet, an all aluminum roof scraper one man could carry to the roof on a ladder. this looks like a Great product you should send a set to This Old House, you'll be able to stop being a Masson, and just make your invention. Congratulations on a well thought out idea!

[@fishstick617]

I'm sorry did I just watch that guy fasten the mason frame bracket to the ultimate ridge hook with a 1 inch tapcon.. lol I bet the guys stilll doing it like that too..

[@nickmescall1950]

That wood is hard stuff!

[@DrLoverLover]

Or just make one with a saw in five minutes
