I NEED the rest of the BOAT videos, that was an amazing build and would love to see what it looks like finished and in the water, also be cool to see it painted but didn't know if you was planning on using marine grade paint or not
As a military veteran (Canadian) who used to work with his hands (and now pushes paper due to injury), I want you to know you have helped encourage me to give hobby woodworking a shot. It has brought a lot of purpose and joy back in to my life. For this, I thank you sir. There are a lot of other channels on here, but none have your distinct/engaging sense of humour. Watching your videos kinda makes me feel like I'm back with the boys all those years ago. Please keep doing what you're doing.
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan ruclips.net/user/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
The sides are called rails. You can lighten this up a bit by removing some of the material on the rail. This makes a hand hold for the person climbing the ladder. You can do this with oak but not many other woods.
I've been planning to make a librarian ladder exactly like that (pipe & all) for our Scout storage shed. One additional feature I'm going to add: an additional hook/slot at a lower position so that when it is not it use, it can be hung vertically so it doesn't get in the way when walking around the shed. I'll add oblong hand-holds to lift it.
This what I was thinking and hoping he'd show too. Perhaps you can post a picture of what you did/do, because I don't know how to do it unless I see it done. TIA
I'm a 65 year old grandma and am going to build this for my off-grid cabin that has two lofts with a six foot space between them. Going to make it so I can switch from one loft to the other and have a short fixed pipe rig setup like you made, using horseshoes at the top of the ladder to hook into the pipe at the top. Thanks for some great tips!
You're one of the most entertaining wood working channels that I've found. I appreciate the dry humor, educational aspects, and honesty you put in every video. Thank you!
When blue tape is a line item deduction as a woodworker, you know you made it in the big leagues. Great project. I liked how you found the angles of the legs. Very smart 🤓!
This is why you are my favourite you tube woodworker, not only did you hide all those pesky screws but you also increased your hide and seek options as well!
The ladder side members are called rails, stringers or stiles, depending on where you live. Where you put your feet are steps or rungs, depending on whether they are flat or round.

Learning so many useful things here in such a delightful way! Would be really cool if you could show us to make an awesome door with all the complicated stuff (tenons, decorative details, arches, keyholes, hinges etc).
One slight safety concern... The "hooks" at the top of the rails might be susceptible to snapping off from the 1" hole and out along the grain of the rails. It might be worth reenforcing the top of the rails with some additional 4 inch-ish wide pieces glued and screwed with their grain perpendicular to the rail's grain and having a matching pipe cutout as already exists in the rails.
The hook is really just keeping the ladder against the rail when decending, and would be minimal tension force. When acending the force is compressive against the ~2.5-3" of remaining material which should be fine. If you really wanted to, you could insert a dowel across grain.
Exqueeze me why would the force on the ladder hooks be any different ascending or descending ( going up or down, for those with smaller vocabularies). Gravity works the same both ways.
@@keithfaulkner6319 I was stating that decending is more often than not the only time the hook will come into play. When your decending a ladder, its usually the time when your most likley to pull the lader away from the wall, or in this case, rail. But that force is minimal unless you really lean back. But true depending on form and function a user could pull away during ascending.
Great work. I am not a wood worker but I was asked to make something similar for one of my clients (I am a Handyman in AUS). I constructed a ladder very similar to yours but not as good looking as yours of course. The only difference where in the wheels. I used spring loaded self locking wheels so when your were off the ladder you could move it around with ease but once on it your body weight would lock the wheel down.
Bourbon Moth, great woodworking skills and finished project. Loved your helpful tips of matching up the angle of the project ladder with your stepladder and of putting the wheels on the side of the rail bottoms. Very clever. --Mike Pereira, Scarborough, ON, Canada.

awesome video, but the best thing I got from this video is your plans for the boat, and how you have them all protected in the sleeves and binder love that

Been with ya a couple months now. Great craftsmanship, great humor and family. Appreciate the content!
Big brain move masking all that stuff with the blue tape! Saves a ton of cleanup and I'd never have thought of it!
Well shit! Also a big brain move with the wedges for the casters.
I must honestly say that no matter what you would put a smile 😁😁😁😁😁 on anyone's face by just watching any of your videos, even when you're sad.
The humour you bring to your videos is amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Man the comedy and video work on these videos and channel just kick ass.
I was talking to my boys today about making one of these for my garage. Thanks for showing us how you did this one. Gave me some great ideas!
That’s wicked cool! The humor is worth watching to the end!!
Honestly I could watch your projects and listen to the commentary all day long. It's just perfect.
This is why you are my favourite you tube woodworker, not only did you hide all those pesky screws but you also increased your hide and seek options as well!
You are the only RUclips woodworker who I don't mind picking up a Domino :) that tells a story! Thanks man for everything, wishing the best.
Please keep making videos. I really enjoy your comedy and skills

The ladder is great and just what I’ve been looking for, but that boat!!! 😍 Gorgeous!!!
spot on. WHAT LADDER?!
Just another great educational/entertaining/bithchin teaching session.... Much thanks.

@@keithfaulkner6319 The ladder is not suspended, the hooks just keep the ladder against the rail. Like with any other lean-to ladder.
@@bombamanwa i know that. My comment had to do with why you separated up and down forces.

Yep. The side pieces on a ladder are rails. On stairs, the side pieces are called stringers.
Thats a very nice ladder you built there.
That's awesome! Now I have to make my wife one. Thank you for posting.
Might be my favorite video so far. Simple project but a great video. Hilarious.
This is super cool. The hyperventilating line definitely cracked me up!!
I like that tape tip to avoid glue cleanup. Thx!

Like your work and your humor
I have learned a lot from watching your videos but not only that, you are very entertaining as well and I like that.

Wow. Your written English is impressive!
That thumb flick when you cut the angle on the table saw was noice!
Going to build this one day. Hilarious video too. If you collaborated from the guy’s from four eyes furniture, the skits would be unreal.
Loved your video. Super funny and refreshing. Keep the videos coming please! Thanks!!
They are stringers, rails or Stiles. Love you man!
Yes stiles in England 🏴
Happy New year from UK🇬🇧🎉
The ladder looks really nice!
Excellent video w Super Shop Skills! and I do appreciate the humor too :-) Thank you for sharing
Great video. Something for dummies like me.
Nice side rails.

You are soooo good at your craft AND Funny !!!
Great work
Not only incredibly talented but sooo funny!!!!!
Neat looking Bobble Head
Nice project to end the year. Best wood worker!
Why have you become my favourite woodworker all of a sudden 😍😍😍
Great woodwork with great humour! 😂 Thank you from 🇬🇧
Very very good job . Very clean. Bravo.
I really enjoy your videos.. i have no intention of building a ladder, yet i still watch. I hope these are profitable for you.
A ladder to success, nicely done.
beautiful piece of work
Your videos help me not do math. Which saves time and allows for more beers! Thanks
dude when I think of RUclips tutorial videos.... this is what I'm thinking of!😂 you're never a disappointment!👍
Great video. Thanks brother.
Just want to throw out there that if you're day job fails (NEVER) you can always get a voice in narration for books. 😁
I never bail on your videos! EVARRRR!!!
Happy new year
Thanks for the tip on the picture of you in the website. Definitely a good choice to nix the stache and go full beard... always the best choice
Dude I have the 10foot Warner fiberglass In the tiny house driving me crazy needed this thank you
Happy Neyear! The Boat!!!Cheers from Toronto Canada!
loved this. planning to attempt!
Love your energy. Excellent as always.
Love your intros (and content). Thank you for your work.
That was awesome! My first time watching one of your videos. Great job! Instructional and entertaining all in one. I'll be watching some more.
sweet boat, you should do a multi video series on how to build it...
This is a great, informative video - thank you!
Beautiful!
Hello.
The ladder was a very nice project.
You could attach the wheels in the inside of the two side planks. Or, even better, find a way to insert them at the bottom of the plank by using just the wheels and their axle!
Happy new year Jason.
The hooks, I would thicken a bit. Maybe a screw to bind the wood grain to prevent splitting. Over all a great build.
I was thinking the same thing and had hoped for some type of reinforcement ... I see that splitting right up the grain when you have arms full of stuff
Minimal force on hooks. Majority is on base. If you are concerned, a plywood plate or gusset would reinforce this area.
Actually. The wheels take most of the weight. They'll come loose every two months. 😬
Very good video and well explained for a complicate project. Compliments!
Love your videos....keep em coming!
Great video Jason. I love the way you make your videos.
You did not have to tease me. I always stay for the whole video. Great job and thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Thanks for the knowledge AND entertainment!
Looks awesome, nice build!!
Great job man
Very nicely done
Interesting. Thank you. And you are funny while teaching us stuff. I like it. haha
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Great video! Be safe!
