Clamp two boards together and drill them with the hole saw. Easy to mark, easy to saw, easy to remove the two half circles from the saw! And only half the time.
LOVE IT,,,GREAT IDEA,I'LL ADD WOODGLUE,EXTRA SCREW,,,SAND FOR THE TOP AND SPRINKLE IT ON LIGHTLY,Maybe a hinged door as well,Just priced these aluminum ones,ha ha ha THANKS BRO
Did anyone ever do an actual engineering analysis to find the safe working load and deflection? Skinning the lower surface would greatly increase the strength and decrease the deflection.
As long as you're not going to put 300lbs on the walk board, I think that it's a good idea, might want to use 2 perimeter boards just to be on the safe side
We didn't stress test them, but my Father-in-law used them along with installing 40lb pieces of stone so I'd say at least 250 each if built properly. He said he never felt them bending or feel unstable (unlike the other wooden walk boards we based them off of). You could always use beefier material like 2x6's or plywood if you feel they need to be stronger.
The concept seems super solid but I would be worried that the particle board would deteriorate faster than plywood. Am I wrong or just worrying too much
The chip board (OSB) we used should hold up OK over time. The biggest concern we had was making sure the wood didn't swell from being wet if it rained, which is why we coated everything with a deck stain to seal it up. For what we needed to do it was perfect, but you could always switch to plywood instead. Thanks for the comment!

👍👍Necessity is the mother of invention. Simple, relatively inexpensive solution.
Thanks for sharing. Great idea!
You bet!
Such a good idea been looking for platforms can't find them for my scaffold thank you
No problem 👍

Great job!

You bet! Some texture paint would probably work well too

Nice exactly what my antique 2" Werner 8' on center needs because the decks can't be had.

Thanks for the video! How much weight do these platforms hold?

OSHA approved👍
Deck screws now that is funny can we say snap can we say structural screws and bolts where needed

Why 2 3/8" for cutout vs.1 3/4"
Gives a little room for error, and its a bit easier to get them lined up, especially as the scaffold goes higher.
Knew someone had done this before. No way I'm paying $300 per plank.
