Thanks for showing us how you work this. It's awesome that you're out there showing people how to work think kind of stuff, even in your condition. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your plans and or even just the inspiration. I was already going to build my own so its nice to see yours working. Your design may be my hot tub transport method (darn stairs!) lol hope you are still with us. I was put in hospice the first time 7 years ago and project keep my brain from turning to mush
Love the idea...My son has down syndrome and cannot walk. The medical version track system we looked at, as I'm sure you know, is super expensive about 40K installed. So I've been searching online for DIY ideas and I'm so happy I finally found something very similar to what I had in mind. I'm atleast couple months away from building. Trying to get all the supplies I might need. Great vid!!!
I laughed with you when you got to the upstairs chair. Great innovation. Looks like it does the job, but it looks like the support cable has, already, worn through the insulation on the wire. Hope you were able to remedy.
Great that it works...but the main concern i'll say is the safety aspect i.e. how sturdy is the hanging mechanism & pulling wire cable ? If something snaps what fail safe mechanism are there ? Have to agree those commercially available systems are ridiculously expensive, it certainly appears those people selling those 'officially endorsed' systems like to make a great killing by asking wildly inflated prices as if to 'not lose out' by capitalising on the mis-fortunes of others who really need such aids ?!
Great job.This is a good idea & generally seems to work well but has a few wobbles that may need to be addressed. As with any new design it may take some tweaking to make it better. Does it have a failsafe mechanism that allows you to lower yourself down in event of a power outage or other breakdown? That lower part that holds & picks you up looks like it came from a Shurhands lift which is a great design that is available commercially. I would like to see more detail on the track & trolley. That is the part that isn't available commercially at least as far as I know. I know someone that might benefit from something like this. I have also seen another DIY lift like this that uses dual tracks which provides more stability.
I love it when people come up with alternatives!
This may not be the ultimate... but it's inspiring!
Impressive work!
Perfect for coming home late at night after leaving the pub to wake everyone up
I'm a night owl, first thing I thought of.... :)
😝😝😝

He’s literally rappelling upwards…. Like Batman. Thank goodness for the engineer
Good idea...in addition you should have your cell phone or a life alert necklace in case of a malfunction that might leave you dangling in mid air.
Imao
let me clap my hands for your clever idea .... ❤
This is the first lift I have looked at that does not require an aide. I am thinking to adapt your idea to my circumstances.

Very clever ideas. Where did you purchase the tubular steel stair harness that appears to be good for toileting as well?
When you get up you force others awake with all the racket. Genius!! Then as long as they are up they can make breakfast 😂.
Seems like a little unsafe if you fail to hang on tight.
Also Seems Very Uncomfortable And One Wrong Move Dislocated Sockets Yikes
A LITTLE! Wow.
Looks.. but you can't tell
@@pierre-yveschauvet5136 you could go from being unable to walk to being totally paralysed
Great idea, but it doesn't look like there's anything to stop the trolley lifting up off the rail?

You've made a Good point
Tom Rybak or anyone else...could you provide a link to a dual track DIY? Thanks.
as a curiosity, you're right, i checked it,it's SureHands lift and care.
I appreciate your idea :)
Wow this is genius
فكرة جميلة جدا جدا.......ههههههه احد السودانين مر من هنا
Brilliant design for an awkward layout. Well done.
Probably want to wear a head protective gear.
That is genius
That winch looks very unstable.
not bad ...how do you manage the height , how did you manage the height tks Francois
Wire doesnt look very strong, eeka.
Amazing!
Incredible beautiful
Very clever.
Shit look dangerous what if you get stuck and nobody there to help
BUY A MOBILITY ELEVATOR YOU CAN USE WITH YOUR CHAIR. that thing is just not safe.
why he didnt lift with the chair
????
Dangerous like
Doesnt look very comfy ..but hey if it works.
Its' good. Ok.
😢
So unsafe
Are you qualified to make that call?
