I made this ladder to reach the top of storage racking that I've just built. It glides along a runner to easily position it where needed.
I built a ladder in this method about 10 years ago for a tree house and it's still going strong. It's an easy and solid method for making a ladder.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

super simple to follow as a total beginner. no nonsense and straight to the point with no flashy camera tricks and no storytelling. love it.
That end sequence was awesome. Very "game show winner"
Just a general tip that I find useful. I am in my 70's and let's face it, not the tallest guy in the world and my reach is not that long. So if I am buying heavy sheet goods, (Melamine: anything over 1/2 inch) and making shelving etc., I get them to make initial cuts at the yard. It makes them easier to carry and they usually throw in a free cut. Hope this helps somebody.
Best. Outro. Ever!
I think we can all agree that a Pask Makes Treehouse pt.1 will bring tears of joy into our eyes.
Pask : I made shelves and a ladder
Huge ass snake from a couple videos ago : ah yes, bunk beds.
Addi S. Koon Pask will have to start charging him rent
Additive joinery like you did is a technique I often forget or neglect. Thanks for the reminder - it's a great method and great looking ladder!
No worries Tharemy! :)
Mr Pask, you make good use of jigs, something I don't do enough. Your videos are a good reminder to take the time and build them.
You make it look easy and inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Exactly what I need!!! Bought a house where the mini-split is 10'' up over a "shelf" actually a bump out wall. Not the best thought out for getting to the filter! Have been contemplating just this exact ladder, but couldn't bring myself to pay for and have to adapt a commercial library ladder. Thank you! And as others have noted, a truly great no nonsense approach to filming & editing. So refreshing! P.S if you stumble across a same model table saw you can join the two tables, gain a bigger table, and keep a dado stack in the outside one. If it's worth the effort 🙂
2 vids in one day, you're too good to us you know that? Lol
No worries! :)
@@PaskMakes Yep - its called stepping up the production rate :-))
Nice ladder! In California, the plasterers [guys who do stucco coating/work] frequently make their own wooden ladders. They do this so they can have shorter (less distance between) the steps. They frequently carry heavy loads up/down ladders (stucco, planking for scaffolding, etc.) and the shorter distance between treads makes this easier on the legs/knees.
Hi Niel another excellent build. This also made me smile as for my first year in high school (Qld) I made a three tier step ladder in wood work. I'm now 49 and my mother (80) still uses it. Actually she has three, myself and two brothers, but obviously mines the best built one 👍
Thanks very much Andrew! The three tier step ladder stands the test of time and obviously yours was the best! ;)
You should add a locking mechanism so the ladder dosent move while you are up there, maybe a set of ball detents or something similar?
The ladder doesn't move, it's very secure with a solid footing at the feet. :)
Your channel is truly right at the top of this genre with few equals. Came back to watch it again after watching it when published.
My 3 year old wanted to see someone make a ladder. Now I'm here.
Thank you, sir. Takes the dado problem completely out of the equation.
Very clever, particualrly creating the rebates for the steps by laminating the plywood between them.
Very nice and sturby.You can put also small wheels in the bottom side of the stair,so you can move L/R without to step on the ground.
Thanks! I was always going to add retractable castors to the legs but when I fitted the ladder I found they weren't needed! :)
Gosh how did I miss this, one of my favourite builds and vids so far!
Glad you enjoyed it Will! :)
I love the ending with moving storage containers! Love ur videos too Pask! Thanks for sharing ur ideas and creativity!
Great work 👍 the only part I don’t like is that putting the ladder against the opposite wall is in front of the door, thus ladder will always be sticking out in middle of room, but doesn’t look like there is really an easy work around to avoid that. Maybe a metal thin ladder, that straight up and down? Granted would not be as useful going up and down.
@7:33 you say hopefully it's useful to somebody. Well, I'm glad to announce yes, it is going to be highly useful to me. I'm saving this video to my collection of video files. Thank you for showing a clear and easy way to make such a ladder. Hopefully the one I'm going to be contracted to build isn't going to need to be more than 8 feet long. I'll know in a few days.
Even when you just make a ladder you stil suprise me with the quality! Great videos!
This man's brilliance is at another level... 2 thumbs up! 👍🏿👍🏿
I was literally thinking just the other day about how I need to build a ladder!! This video is precisely what I need!!!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Nicely done!
If that ladder was for me, I'd ask to add a handrail on the sides. It would extend out the side for easy hand gripping and also act as a bumper to protect from contacting the bolts that are securing the steps.
Safety third!
Thanks for sharing the ladder construction. I'm definitely going to build one for accessing soon-to-be-built overhead storage in my garage.
No worries Marcus - glad it was helpful! :)
A fine job sir!
U r an engineer , well planned, well demonstrated, well built!
Ppl wind up in wheel chairs from ladders it does matter.
Nothing flash but solid as a rock .should last for years .nice one.
Superb animation at the end to finish it off... Great job all round!
Terrific to watch. Wish I had a fraction of your tools...and talent. Alas, I have what I need to build my own ladder to access my garage storage up high. Thank you much!
This is so awesome! Love the box art at the end! Great vid as usual!
Brilliant idea for the rollers by using bearings. I think I can incorporate this idea into heaps of things. Thanks for this, Mate
That is a sturdy ladder from the way you built it. I like the old school bolts within each rung
You are just truly amazing and inspiring, thank you from NZ
Although it is not your regular channel content, so is the video very inspirit and useful . Thank you so much!
Safe and simple! Loved the dog and the animation.
I don't need a ladder. But when I saw a Pask Makes I had to watch. LOL
You can make runners with springs for the floor. It will run freely until you step on the latter. Your weight is going to push the latter safely to the floor
The Putnam Rolling Ladder Company would be jealous of your product. Well done!!!
Thats one great simple, useful and sturdy looking ladder👍👍👍
Pask, ive got a couple tips for using the jeweler's saw, use contact cement to stick 2 pieces of sand paper together and then cut them into strips, you can then put them in the saw and use it like the blade to sand the inside of a piece easier.
Also, if you buy twisted blades that cut in 360 degrees it will make life way easier
Fun(?)-fact of the day:
I was a stairs maker for 10 years before I went into Digital Forensics.
Amazing video! :D
Can you spot deep fakes?
Odd, I was a Forensic Chemist for 10 years before I became a rubbish handyman :D hahaha
Nice shop the push stick on the table saw really saves the fingers.
I would wax that rail to make the ladder slide on it better. Wax can also help prevent rusting.
Thanks Gary but no need with the bearings though and the rail won't rust being galvanised! :)
I love the sound effects!
Straightforward and worthwhile content.
Poetry in motion 👍
Very cool, and the box bit at the end was cute.
Wow,
Those Look amazing. . .nice job!
OK, Im next, I'll take one order for my garage.
I love that you had to clarify that the 15 degree angle was off vertical :)
I've said and been corrected many times in other videos! :)
Really nice work, you do things so simple, very functional and also good looking. That clip at the end was also really great. Keep it up!
Timberwork 5 star and a great project. Metal work....WIP!
Now that’s a ladder! Well done!! I think I would have made it one shelf higher. Standing on that platform would make me very uneasy. But I don’t like heights. Best regards.
But to get plywood sheets longer.....
You know, I never even considered making a ladder but now I know how to. Excellent video.
Great!
Nice video on how too. I like it and will give it a try here in Chile. Jim
Nice Ladder ... diffrent but very nice ... Good Job Pask 👍🏽
Well done, Neil
Pask, what should i say ... Perfekt!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏆
Yeah, I made the mistake of just screwing in the cross boards to outside pieces. When the screw gave out on me the board came out from under my foot and I ended up with a screw to the shin ... Decided that was the wrong way to do it....yours is Obviously the correct way....
Ooh nasty! :)
enjoyed it??? this was a super helpful video.
Hello young man, The title of your video is misleading. I was concerned with the angle and degree for safety reasons. When I seen what you were up to, a single use / dedicated access ladder, it then all made good sense. This is what some refer to as a Library Ladder. It is impossible for the ladder to kick out.
Why not add two wheels to the legs that only travel horizontally? I'd also probably add two braces on a 45 degree for the top step to the side rails to improve strength and add peel and stick anti-slip material for the steps . This is very good construction, the threaded rods alone are enough to keep the ladder from spreading. Keep up the good work, I'm always looking forward to your videos and enjoy every one of them.
Cheers,
your biggest fan
Thanks very much and glad you're enjoying the videos. I was always going to add retractable castors to the legs but found when I fitted the ladder it wasn't needed. It moves along the rail very easy as is. Bracing the top was something I had in mind if needed but it's rock solid and wasn't needed either. :)
@@PaskMakes As for wheels, I was only thinking in terms that you can pull yourself along to access all shelves and bins without getting down and moving the ladder,.
A hand pulley system and a cargo cradle mounted on a roller track running parallel with the shelving might also be a good safe idea as well considering, that you are going to be carrying a sizable bin and ascending steep steps, you are not making three points of contact. You can raise and lower bins from the top shelf to the floor safely , just a suggestion.
Thanks for the reply, much appreciate your point of view and shared knowledge.
RockIsland Rides If you're as concerned about safety as your comment states, then wheels on the base contradict that intent somewhat. Nothing like a travelling ladder to upset balance. Especially when on that top platform!
@@DiscoFang with wheels, naturally the mono rail ladder would also require hand rail waist high on top 3 sides, they already exist and are used in many applications.
RockIsland Rides Naturally. Right, right. It's ok to admit you hadn't thought of that.
Excelente execução de um projeto simples e funcional!!! Parabéns!!!
Everything you do is first class Mate, the videos, the editing, the content and the projects. Thank you for sharing all your talents.
cool i need to make an outside ladder to get to the roof. i have an old one i made but its getting a bit soft... i think ill try your way... look very steady!! thanks!! cool vid
Bloody fantastic - solid construction and as always something utterly ingenious thrown into the mix!
Very good mate... really enjoy seeing your work and believe me you are making master pieces... May GOD bless you...
Thank you dear...
Damn! This is one of the most interesting videos I've seen on UA-cam. Entertaining and informative. Nice job, mate.
that was BOMB!
America is a great nation when we see this Garage 😀
Love your videos mate, they are so practicle, I declare you an honorary sandgroper.
Great job on the ladder Neil! Thanks for sharing the video with us.👍👌😎JP
Nicely done.
my friend. very nice. thank you so much. be happy. bravo...
Nice vid! A safety improvement would be to have the ladder locked or secured when in fold down position. When lifted it could release and be able to slide. Would be a shame to fall down on the concrete when it is such a fine ladder!
This ladder builder is on another level.
Love it!
All your videos are useful pask
Wow, quite an elaborate ladder!
Other than the weight (compared to aluminium), it must be very strong. Very well made!!!
Super nice, you are just so good at your job.
I always learn something new from you Pask!
Same!
Great Job.Regards from US.
This ladder design is brilliant! It may just solve my garage problem! 🤞
I REALLY like it. Love your creative mind.
Very clever design!
You are so smart and talented!
Solid idea & construction
NOICE! stop motion FTW and literal laughter. well done mate.
Excellent video. You make it look so easy. Will be using some of your building techniques.
nice touch with the platform, ive never seen one with that in mind. killer video again pask
Awesome! Nice idea hope to make one soon
Really great. Good idea with the rolling mechanism.
Love the dancing totes at the end.
That's a sturdy ladder!
Woodwork isn’t just about the art. It’s about what you do to get there.
This was so cool to watch
We’re moving house soon and because of you my wife is going to kill me. She is going to become a workshop widow! The house will be full of stuff we don’t need but I wanted to make. 😂. I will make these ladders and I WILL find a use for them.
You could add a hand rail at the top to steady yourself maybe.
Как обычно очень круто! Наконец то видео про вещи и изобретения, а не только про создание инструментов))
You can make the videos as long as you want. The longer the better in my opinion.
