This makes me so happy! I literally laughed out loud. Only an engineer would spend hours designing and making apparatus for motorizing a scaffold to save a minute or two of climbing, then personally test the apparatus, alone, in a remote garage, while filming the whole ordeal. Such is the mind of genius. I sometimes wonder if Matthias does this just to irritate the safety ninnies. I hope so! Live long and prosper my friend!
+Learner-Learns Lmao, I think thats exactly why he did it! xD To be honest the first time I watched this, even I was afraid it would tip over lol. I can say I've had my fair share of moments like this though. I will stay up the entire night making something just so I can save a few moments of time the next time I do it, its such a satisfying experience. Glad I'm not the only one lol.
+Learner-Learns Ever heard of a scissor lift? They're ubiquitous on commercial building projects. And then there are staging scaffolding towers on wheels, one guy climbs down to push while the other rides on top. Either way, they're not cheap.
Hey, at my age and state of decrepitude, the idea of a motorized scaffold is a gift from God! For me to have to climb all the way down off a scaffold to move it, then climb all the way back up, is an all-day job. I'm going to do an adaptation of this to move an outdoor scaffold when I re-side my house this summer. I won't need steering, just to move from side to side, but the ideas here will save my arthritic joints a lot of pain.
+Matthias Wandel ~ can't remember how many times I've watched this, doesn't seem to get tiring. I'd prefer pneumatic tires but probably wouldn't work, fork would be too wide - maybe?
Whilst I could never in my wildest dreams aspire to make the stuff you do it does not detract from my enjoyment of watching your videos and marvelling at your inventive ingenuity. Thank you for posting them.
That's is the first time that I've ever seen someone make a moving scaffold outta wood . And in my eyes that was beautifully well done !! I loved it and I'd like to try making one but first I'd need directions on how to follow your step's on making one . You are truly an outstanding teacher when it comes to following the way you build thing's , thank you you so much for the classes making a scaffold . Thank you Matt .
+Michael Apache Sanchez If you would like advice on making a motorized scaffolding, here is one: DON'T. Move scaffolding when someone is on it, is a violation of safety rules. If you can survive the fall, injuries have serious consequences and cause permanent disability. If you never seen a moving scaffold before, that's because this work require a "cherry picker". I don't know if this is the case in America, but in Europe you need a license to be authorized to work on. Overhead work has great risks, the first would be to neglect it.
Thank you so much for the post. Most people do not see home made tool construction as a creative art of its own, Yet the creativity required to DIY tools, Jigs and just genera home built retakes is more complex than a some other art. A tool Truly has a beauty of its own.
Matthias.... I love going back and seeing your older videos.. Its what I've been doing for the last couple of hours. This one always cracks me up. Thanks for the many many hours of entertainment. Russ
It is absolutely fascinating to me how you can achieve such complex cuts on a table saw. I'm embarrassed that I've only ever used table saws for cutting sheets of wood in half
Matthias, I just wanted to thank you for all your content. You have provided me with a lot to think about over the last few years. I wish you and your family all the blessings possible!!!
Great stuff- doing the unthinkable again! You have the honour of having made at least 2 million people smile with your creativity- that is quite an achievement right there!
That's pretty impressive, Matthias! Hats off to you. I appreciate your ability to control your words too. There's lots of room for 'cussing the air blue' in some of those mishaps! I need scaffolding for installing gable end vents (1 1/2 story house), redoing the soffit, facia and eaves troughs, etc. I can rent it for about $125/week plus delivery, or I can make it myself. I think I'd go for 3" - 4" torx screws, metal angle braces, a pile of 2x4's and some PT plywood because I can reuse all these materials on another project--putting a concrete foundation under my 12'x16' shed. I'm sure to get some exercise climbing up and down, but then again, I could use a little exercise...
That is the craziest thing you've done. Next you'll want to storm castles with drill driven siege engines. No more design work for you without adult supervision!
This was the first of your videos I watched. One of the most intriguing video titles I've ever seen. Really glad to have subscribed back then, thanks for all of the great content!
izzy swan Matthias Wandel Don't encourage him, Matthias, or Izzy will just do something completely off-the-charts crazy, like "How to get a really nice, close shave with your tablesaw".
Matthias Wandel That would be a tall order to top. LOL I am just going to sit back watch this video a couple more times with a big grin on my face. Very Cool Build I would ask for a ride but I am terrified of heights.
Dear Naysayers, LIFE is not safe. Sometimes a guy has to make his scaffold move around. I really like the last words in the video "That worked out better than I thought". That is the best feeling.
So what did you do this weekend? oh i drove around my scaffolding... you mean you moved some scaffolding? no I was driving around on my scaffold! BRILLIANT!!! I am so pleased I came across your channel.
Why am I seeing this just now!? Besides the innovative aspect, it was very entertaining and a pleasure to watch! Safety aspect, Yeah I know, but really, I gotta give Mathias 5 ⭐️ for the pleasure he had and he brought us.
I can't believe I missed this video, didn't see this until you did your echo mediation, pretty cool by the way, but not nearly as much fun as this. I am surprised that the wheel didn't need some sort of traction enhancement, there are many painters of high ceilings that are very jealous today...
***** La mayoría de los proyectos se podrían hacer en un día, pero el tener que grabarlos (y a veces volver a grabar alguna toma) hace que les dedique más de un día. Aunque no suelen ser días de ocho horas, una tarde hoy, otra tarde mañana, ora al día siguiente...
Now on Top Gear... We have to find out how fast it goes around our track, and of course it means handing it over to our tame scaffolding driver. Some say he once built a 1:1 scale wooden copy of Mount Rushmore with a pantorouter, and if they gave him enough 2x4's, NASA could put astronauts up in the ISS by themselves with no help from the Russians. All we know is... he's called the Matthias!
I've been a fan of your work going back to your first bandsaw build. Then watched as you grew into your new shop which was about 12'x16', maybe a bit smaller. Wow look at this shop!!! I will be needing a scaffold for working up to 14 feet which is how I stumbled upon this jewel of a series, and was glad to see you are still building with your special tools and skills but I was completely amused when you said you were going to motorize the whole thing. Then I thought you'd hit a road block with the size of the drill, naturally you had already figured that one out as well, a variac. Of course, what was I thinking. Ha!!! You are still my favorite UA-cam mad scientist, and I hope you never change. Thanks for the great videos you made way way back because you already knew I would one day be needing an example to follow. Thank you for that as well. Just wondering, did you ever make another one so you could have drag races there in the shop? Ha! 🤓🤡
Dear Matthias, Whilst your work is advanced and you are a more advanced maker than I in many ways, I will have the temerity to make a suggestion as there is more than one way to skin a cat. I made a very large pulley this year for the countershaft of a rotary screen / trommel. The pulley was made of w.b.p plywood as it would be sat outdoors in all weather on my allotment. When I make discs or pulleys of plywood or indeed swing any arcs I invariably do this with a router compass. I have never bought one and just rustle them up from 6" x 1" P.A.R. softwood. Drilling two counterbored holes in one end of the board allows fixing of the router to compass. I then plunge a 1/2" rota-tip bit through the board. One can then measure from the witness hole to a centre and drill a 1.5mm hole to take a pin to act as a centre. A hole is now piloted in the material to be routed and the arc or circle swung. I find that a dust extraction spout useless for drawing dust up the close fitting witness hole and on the last compass which \i used to swing an arc of approximately 8' a square of softwood was attached to the side of the arm with a housing in the bottom back to the witness hole and a 34mm diameter hole in the top of the square to take a dust extraction hose. This was a great improvement. back to the pulley. Whilst the pulley was still in the form of rings and discs (It had to be thick as at this stage I had not established whether the pulley was to take a float or vee belt so I made it for both) I used a panel raising router bit to produce the two halves of the vee. This was then laminated together. All that was required then was to fill any inclusions, sand and varnish. I hope that this may be of some use and I hope that you forgive me for perhaps telling Grandma how to suck eggs. You can see the pulley in use on my ridiculously low fidelity film of the Lister powered trommel. Regards, Malcolm Tierney
Congratulations Mattthias! As usual, veryyyyy interesting project! Every single part of your projects shows how you intelligently combine science and hands-on skills.
Ну приколист! Здорово! Вообще, электродрель - классный привод: достаточно мощный, есть регулировка скорости и реверс, встроенный редуктор. Стоит недорого и продаётся везде. Я тоже использую электродрели в качестве привода на самодельных станках и в разных приспособлениях.
Hi Matt, you are the closest thing to the venerable "mad scientists" I remember from cartoons in my childhood!! Keep up the good work! You are a hero!! ;-)
man..i've been going through your videos and i must say that i, for one, admire your ingenuity and creativity. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. I've learned a lot on working around problems with your help and the help of others like jay bates. Why buy when you can make your own tools!!!
I was actually holding my breath during part of the video. Every time the legs would hit the ground or the scaffold would sway, I was expecting a tip. Well done, very cool video and idea. I don't think I'll try it anytime soon though, mainly because I have a single-story workshop and hate heights. :)
Most entertaining DIY project ever. I smiled the whole time. I was surprised the wood wheel had enough traction to move the whole thing, I would glue a strip of bicycle inner tube on the wheel to see if it makes a difference.
You're incredible, the king of wooden creation with full of ideas. When will you make a functionnal wooden car ? It's a real pleasure to view all your video.
nice job! i like this idea a lot. a suggestion for the problem with running over the extension cord: why don't you just install a small protruding beam at the top of the scaffold to keep the extension cord at some distance to your driveway?
Hats off to you, you are quite the role model not only for your genius creations but also for your well and determination, those 2 qualities show a lot in your projects.
That is awesome! The only thing I would change is to put swivel casters on the two front legs, then modify the lift system from your power wheel to create some legs that slightly lift the casters off the ground when you want to be locked in place.
"That was the last time Matthais was seen in his workshop. Police are trying to piece together the route he took when the drill wouldn't switch off..." Great, entertaining and I love the way you use the tools available. Keep up the good work!
+Andrea Tani Thanks man, this was simply the best comment in the whole bunch. Had to make many attempts to type this reply because I couldn't stop laughing and had to wipe the tears away. You win.
Matthias - I have seen you build many things since I discovered your UA-cam channel, and this takes the biscuit! Outstanding, mad as hell, but OUTSTANDING. (Just be careful please!)
Ya know Matthias I have watched countless YT videos and laughed at a bunch of them but yours took the prize. I ended my career as a const. supt. for 33 years and started as a carpenter at times up 4 bucks on a rolling scaffold. I hated having to climb down to simply move another 8 feet or so. I thoroughly enjoyed this addition. LMAO big time. And yes I can see OSHA inspectors drooling to catch you on a jobsite. Keep rockin or I mean rollin. Thanks for this.
Because a) you keep your fingers b) so does everyone else watching your video c) you get a much better finish on the lathe d) its quicker on the lathe. Mounting? faceplate. Simple, quick and much safer
An old timer I knew told me when he was stationed in Japan he had a go kart type thing powered by a circular saw. I think it was a gas circular saw. Either way, thanks for reminding me of old Joe Thompson!
My dad would love this. He was a drywaller for most of his life and had some questionable ideas about what constitutes job safety in so far as jury rigged "scaffolding" was concerned. I'm talking three 2x4s resting on the top rung of a step ladder with the other end resting at the top of a flight of stairs THEN putting a bucket upside down in the middle of this highwire to stand on. You'd think he would have broken some bones doing those stunts for forty years but he never did.
This makes me so happy! I literally laughed out loud.
Only an engineer would spend hours designing and making apparatus for motorizing a scaffold to save a minute or two of climbing, then personally test the apparatus, alone, in a remote garage, while filming the whole ordeal. Such is the mind of genius. I sometimes wonder if Matthias does this just to irritate the safety ninnies. I hope so! Live long and prosper my friend!

Matthias Wandel Absolutely outstanding.
+Matthias Wandel ~ can't remember how many times I've watched this, doesn't seem to get tiring. I'd prefer pneumatic tires but probably wouldn't work, fork would be too wide - maybe?
+Matthias Wandel
how come you didn't use caster wheels to make it a bit less noisy
+Matthias Wandel If that drill has a universal motor in it, could you drive that scaffolding using DC from a battery? No extension cords to run over.
The scaffold does not corner very well....haha!!
I don't want to spam the comments section of Matthias's video so the links are on my website.

Watching this 6 years later I can’t like it again so I am going to comment. Great build. Like how you rounded the board. Creative...
This is why I love your channel.
One man show. Everything is made out of wood. Steering, forward & reverse mechanism is excellent. Great work man. God bless you.
That is the craziest thing you've done. Next you'll want to storm castles with drill driven siege engines. No more design work for you without adult supervision!

It's a real pleasure to view all your video.

Your workshop is amazing i work in a garden shed and you've got a warehouse like an aircraft hanger !
Matthias - I have seen you build many things since I discovered your UA-cam channel, and this takes the biscuit! Outstanding, mad as hell, but OUTSTANDING. (Just be careful please!)
уважаемый, да твои предки из России... только русские могут придумать такую хрень
Matthias, you are absolutely *_WACKO_* !! LOL
Genius status achieved!
Ya know Matthias I have watched countless YT videos and laughed at a bunch of them but yours took the prize. I ended my career as a const. supt. for 33 years and started as a carpenter at times up 4 bucks on a rolling scaffold. I hated having to climb down to simply move another 8 feet or so. I thoroughly enjoyed this addition. LMAO big time. And yes I can see OSHA inspectors drooling to catch you on a jobsite. Keep rockin or I mean rollin. Thanks for this.
Crazy! But I love it!
Does look like fun - but there is an interesting machine called a .....lathe.....which is designed to.....turn round parts......
Arduous Andotherous And your point would be?
Matthias Wandel I would guess, use the lathe! I miss those kind of video's. They are always very interesting to watch.
TGRS Why would I use the lathe when I can make it faster on the table saw, and not have to figure out how to mount the darned thing on a lathe?
Because a) you keep your fingers b) so does everyone else watching your video c) you get a much better finish on the lathe d) its quicker on the lathe. Mounting? faceplate. Simple, quick and much safer
Arduous Andotherous Dude did you watch the video? Did you see what he was driving? He clearly is insane. Don't talk about safety on this channel. :-)
LOL, Now you need a 6.5 hp on that and take it out muddin.LOL
Also, some nylon glides on the ends of the legs/2x4 might allow for some better sliding.
your ability to fabricate normally cast metal parts out of wood is very impressive.
When it comes to carpentry/woodworking/construction, this project takes nerd to a whole other level.
replace that drill with a circular saw and call Guinness set the scaffold speed record lol
northernnorm65 has always
literally lmao
An old timer I knew told me when he was stationed in Japan he had a go kart type thing powered by a circular saw. I think it was a gas circular saw. Either way, thanks for reminding me of old Joe Thompson!
I was waiting for Tim Taylor to enter saying ... 'It needs ... more power!!!'
More yes than I can yes.
Yeah, you have all those 1 HP motors lying around use one of them. Or 1 per wheel.
What is a lathe
Google is your friend
Anonymouser I'm jsut making fun of how never uses a lathe.
+King Harkinian , he explained why: lathes are for making round pretty things and not much else.
Mr Wandel doesn't have much use for one.
+Massimo that's true only of small lathes
666Tomato666 also, good luck finding a lathe that could handle that huge length of wood
Love your ingenuity, Matthew. And you had fun creating it.
My dad would love this. He was a drywaller for most of his life and had some questionable ideas about what constitutes job safety in so far as jury rigged "scaffolding" was concerned. I'm talking three 2x4s resting on the top rung of a step ladder with the other end resting at the top of a flight of stairs THEN putting a bucket upside down in the middle of this highwire to stand on. You'd think he would have broken some bones doing those stunts for forty years but he never did.
In the next video; 'How to make a wheelchair out of wood' (!)
Lol
