Old video but a tip for those coming to it late like me... Grab four cheap ratchet straps and make an 'X' brace from top shelf to the bottom outriggers on each side. Improves stability dramatically on these inexpensive baker style scaffolds when using two levels.
Great video! Hey you ever use 24" swivel jacks with your bakers scaffold? I need to set up a 12' high on uneven pavement. The pavement is uneven enough that a regular screw jack won't sit flat on the pavement. Thought maybe I'd buy the swivel type but for some reason, having swivel feet really bothers me lol.
I have never used swivel jacks for that application. We mostly use our scaffold for interior work and the floor is generally level. I'm sure some exterior dudes that have more experience in that area then me have figured something out. Definitely make sure you feel stable 😬
I watched this to see if there was a better way to install the guardrail. Turns out sketchiness is built into the process. This includes the extra sketchiness of coming down after the guardrails are removed when you are near the top, but not at the top of the second level.
Corn balls setting up scaffolding 1st time, so funny and ridiculous. I set up mine by myself all the time. First, lay one cross section on floor or ground. Then put each elevation side on and tip it up to standing position. The rest is simple and easy.
The double stack always wobbles, even with the outriggers. Just part of the deal and you get use to the wobble after a bit. As long as it doesn’t fall over, then it’s all good 🤙
@@SuperVassarBrothers yes sir, depends on how fast you rise young man. Enjoyed the video would like to see a guy start disassembly at bottom of scaffold if two stories or more. Other wise I prefer climbing first, lift with your back for power and to avoid involuntary bowl movement. Just the professional in me speaking, perhaps a video of your brother demonstrating the above method is in order?

Just bought full set from Menards and love it !!
We have found it to be quite useful over the years!

Where’s the fun in that?
that looks terrifying. Thescaffold wobbles.
Oh yes. The wobbles are part of the fun
👏👏👏👏Great scaffolding 🇧🇷
Thanks Alexandre!
How do you setup the 3rd story?
You’d just stack another section onto the 2nd then put the cage on top of that
@@SuperVassarBrothers how do you get the cumbersome platform to the second story to build the 3rd story above?
The chose of music is superb, it has a felling lije a Charli Chaplin skit👌🤣
Thanks my friend!
Pink Panther cat burglar stuff!

Doing this tomorrow to hang a new entry light, thanks for the video, wish me luck 👌🏻
Good luck dude! It does wobble, but you'll get use to it once you're up there for a bit.
@@SuperVassarBrothers yeah that’s way more wobbly than I assumed it would be, happy I watched this first so I’m prepared for it, thanks again

It can definitely be done solo. Easier with 2 dudes. And yes we are corn balls
Why don’t yours have a center brace for the wood deck ? LOL that’s cause it’s not from Menards!!
Haha, well this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Menards so perhaps that’s true.
I think you had more scaffolding you could use braces from other set to make it less wobbly. Thanks

Is this how not to set it up properly?
I didn't fall off, so thats good at least
Pro tip: start at the bottom when disassembling, your knees will thank you later ;|
My knees pop every time I squat down…that’s good right??
