Do your self a favour when running a lift in behind loading bay keep ya logs off the wall 25mm if forks hits it it’s gonna knock ya brick work and guess who’s stripping scaffold to re do it, other than that great work scaff keep it up
When using Aluminium tube measure your end doubles, I normally put a double on at the right height for the lift and then get a roofers lat, mark where that double is from ledger to top/bottom of double and fly around the block putting a mark on my standards at every 21ft or wherever your ledger ends. Fly around and put all your doubles on and then it’s a case of just putting the ledgers in without having to level over. If your base lift is all level it makes the job way easier and faster. We do it with the steel up north on the sites and all you’ve got to worry about is plumbing your standards up which is nowt. You can do it on big jobs as well but I recommend levelling over after every 3rd lift just in case your measure starts to creep out a bit.
I use to do it like that a few year back mate, it is a lot quicker but you end up checking it for level anyway to see if it is level so might aswell just level it in brother. All the handrail is measured for the next lift because most of the lifts are handrail height apart from the second lift which is joist lift and the first lift has to be 450mm from the trad or I would do 4- 1.1m lifts all handrail height. So most of it is measured just need to level inside ledger in and off you go. You know the score mate it never ends up level measuring every double. But yeah it is a good way if it’s bang on brother 😁
@@ScaffManJones I don’t measure every double mate just the ones on the ends and I normally miss the inside doubles off on the return, the standards opposite the corner standards if that makes sense? Usually just mark the corner standard and plumb my inside standards up of my singles on the return once the corner leg is plumb and fixed. I used to work with a lad who measured every single double on every standard and it was a right fuck on trying to hang your ledger in. Keep the videos coming though pal, I like watching you and another lad called Shark Scaffold. Shark does private work mainly and you’re on the sites and it’s good to get someone else’s perspective when scaffolding because you never know when you might learn a trick or two.
@@NorthEastMick thank you mate, I do like advice of people too no one’s perfect and Iv got a few more videos to put up yet it’s just editing them it takes time, 😁
I enjoy these videos mate. As you grow the channel you’re gonna get people saying you should do this and that. Scaffs are the worst for it. Just do you mate your a good grafter. 👍
They aren’t that tight mate could give them another 4 turns with a spanner easy. What’s the worst that could happen if they are a little too tight? Not slip?
The other day I was watching Charlie Collison and thinking how crazy all the scaffolding is and wondering how its done. Pretty awesome insight into how its all put together.
we do use system scaffolding in the uk mostly kwikform and cuplock , some firms use allaround but not that many from what i've seen, in scotland a good 80% of the jobs that go up are system, i was 20yrs on the tools in scotland and i only used tube n fitting for the add ons, canterlevers bridges and the like.
Someone is on the back lol it’s fully loaded out all around just needed a few fives and fitting on the front had the front bay and stairs and someone else had the back and one side. If I was working on my own I would of started the back obvz mate Iv been scaffing 17 years trust me I know what I’m doing 😂
@@user-xy7wd1cz9d haha yeah mate it’s quite annoying tbh but you get use to it I prefer to work with steel but it’s so easy with Ali. No effort at all and less strain for the labourers. You based in Sheffield mate yeah?
Where else do you want me to put it mate. If I lean them all up they get in the way when I pull the boards up and all get pushed over anyway. My backs fine dont worry about it brother 😁
Not very clued up why start there making it hard yourself up plus why wrench every fitting just back off the doubles on the ledger bet you've never used a spanner like the older scaffs did bet that bouncing like fuck in the middle not got a clue how to pressure now an then When blobbing ... why blob anyway just look down it see where it needs bobbins
I started there because it’s 3 sides of a ring. One guy on back and side and I had front and loading bay with stairs that’s why I started there and the whole job was loaded out already. yes I have worked with a spanner for years it’s not big and clever lol and I’ll always use my level how it should be. And no not a single bounce anywhere. Pressure? you see me lean on the outside ledger and use my forearm do a little push out. What the hell are you attacking me for?😂😂 sorry you have to use a spanner 🥴
And you’ve literally commented on my first video when I was getting use to recording and working at the same time. Why don’t you check out a few recent videos eh before you make stupid comments
Thank you 😁 I’m slow on camera 😂 been doing it a lot longer than them lot so I should hope so brother. Nice man I need a career change too lol just don’t know what😁 🫡
Yeah mate love this. Definitely do voice over that would be brilliant! Krep it going brother, all the best 👊
Thank you mate 😁

its a whole nother world across the pond.. very interesting. scaffolder from texas. keep up the good work
Thank you mate. Do you use tube and fittting in Texas brother?
Just watched all of your videos and you are a really good worker
Thank you very much 😁
I enjoy these videos mate. As you grow the channel you’re gonna get people saying you should do this and that. Scaffs are the worst for it. Just do you mate your a good grafter. 👍
Thank you brother I have learned to ignore the negative people around you pay attention to people who have a good heart 😁
Fellow scaff here you dont need to do the doubles up that much any more and you’ll be classed as a metal worker/ welder
They aren’t that tight mate could give them another 4 turns with a spanner easy. What’s the worst that could happen if they are a little too tight? Not slip?
Every scaffolder has a different way of working
@@ScaffManJonesthats right
They will slip or drop, especially when loaded with bricks
@@garymugford3273fuck the brickies!!!!!

Nice man 😁
I’ve been in the scaffolding industry for 50 years, this guy won’t be a good scaffolder as long as I’ve got a hole in my arse
Good for you dont know what’s triggered you isit because we use drills now and you had to use spanner all your life?
I've always wondered - why you don't use modular Layher in the UK and just fuck with these pipes
We do use layher. Some company’s don’t want to pay the cost on layher when tube and fitting is probably half the price lol
we do use system scaffolding in the uk mostly kwikform and cuplock , some firms use allaround but not that many from what i've seen, in scotland a good 80% of the jobs that go up are system, i was 20yrs on the tools in scotland and i only used tube n fitting for the add ons, canterlevers bridges and the like.
Start from the back ….youve put the ledger in front of the loading bay 1st 😮
Someone is on the back lol it’s fully loaded out all around just needed a few fives and fitting on the front had the front bay and stairs and someone else had the back and one side. If I was working on my own I would of started the back obvz mate Iv been scaffing 17 years trust me I know what I’m doing 😂
Definitely on day work 😂.
Too right mate 😂
Is it all allie tube?
Yes mate
Thought so you never let go of your bubble 😂 all our kit should be allie so much easier to work with. Keep it up mate good watch 🤙🤙
@@stephenmace4383 haha yea it’s pretty s**t mate but you get use to it. I save the steel for weekend work😂
is that aluminium tube? where about are you lads
Yes mate all aluminium nice to use but a little bit harder to get stable. The site is in congleton but we’re based in Crewe mate 😁
Nice one, at first i was thinking why this guy keep taking the level of the 5ft when leveling the ledger but then realise tube dont sound right 😂
@@user-xy7wd1cz9d haha yeah mate it’s quite annoying tbh but you get use to it I prefer to work with steel but it’s so easy with Ali. No effort at all and less strain for the labourers. You based in Sheffield mate yeah?
Nah, RUclips doesnt show all the name, we based in suffolk
@@user-xy7wd1cz9d nice mate 😁
Why is all tube clips led on the boards keep bending down save your back
Where else do you want me to put it mate. If I lean them all up they get in the way when I pull the boards up and all get pushed over anyway. My backs fine dont worry about it brother 😁
I am scaffolding working 9year in Dubai Qatar and Oman
Nice mate I’d love to work over there. Bet they’re big jobs over there?
A busy fool
What’s your problem?
Not very clued up why start there making it hard yourself up plus why wrench every fitting just back off the doubles on the ledger bet you've never used a spanner like the older scaffs did
bet that bouncing like fuck in the middle not got a clue how to pressure now an then

So.slow
Why does being fast make you good or something??
And you’ve literally commented on my first video when I was getting use to recording and working at the same time. Why don’t you check out a few recent videos eh before you make stupid comments
PLEASE get a magnetic level
Undo -level - do up … only once
Mate the tube is aluminium no level is sticking to it 🫣
@@ScaffManJones😂😂😂👍
You definitely quicker than you work mates.
Was a rigger before converting to plumbing.
You’re clean and smooth with your work. 🫡🇦🇺
Thank you 😁 I’m slow on camera 😂 been doing it a lot longer than them lot so I should hope so brother. Nice man I need a career change too lol just don’t know what😁 🫡
