I've built a hillside lift that has a hand control mounted at the top. Has a remote to run the DC wench, but you have answered how to make it both top and bottom controlled by riding it down! I have looked for this answer over and over again and just found it at 1am tonight on your video. Thank you sir for this video. You have answered all I need. Especially the fact I can go AC now. Excellent video!!!!

Love your creativity and technical knowledge. Thanks for sharing!

Make you another one as a backup to change out while you are repairing the other one.

Good idea

Great job!!! I'd like to know how you prevented the auto cord winder from locking up please!

Nice, you just need a call button to retrieve the chair if it's on the other end. However, I suspect that you could probably purchase the actual rails and chair directly from the factory in China, it's just calculating how many segments and what turns you want without ordering too many extras.

I love that you said that you are only 70😂 Great attitude. Thanks so much for sharing your build. I suggested this to my sister in law for my brother who is dealing with MS. Have a great day.😊

Genius

Fantastic thanks

Genius

Just watched your video. This is fantastic. I wish i could have confidence to build this.

Like to speak with you sir I would like to build the same thing for my wife .need more details on the winch I am in the USA

The Cetus X is the best micro drone I've had . It wouldn't bind to my RadioMaster controller and I'm past trying to do it on a computer so bought a BetaFpv Lite 3 controller which binded easy . Both excellent so I'm sure getting my money's worth 😅

This is awesome my friend it's so good to see people still have that diy mentality seems like that is a trait that is disappearing through the generations. Been thinking about something similar for our aging dog this gives me some good ideas. Very good job. I appreciate the video.

Wow I’m impressed looks great

Bravo!

Hello Barry, now that you have 1000 subscribers, you can apply for monetization on TH-cam for your channel. Then YT will advertise before and after your videos and you will make money.

Great 👏🏻

Great job Barry! That's something to be proud of

I m sure there are thousands out there will benefit from your practical and cheap set up,what a genius idea..thank a lot ..god bless a man like you..for kindful sharing

What happens if the cable snaps....does the entire chair then fly down the stairway or are there some emergency stop override ?

Why don't they sell DYI chair lift kits? there are plenty of folks with advanced carpentry and mechanical skills that don't need a professional installer. These folks are frequently doing without chair lifts because of the price of having it installed. What number of tragedies is that causing? This looks like a safe design except for the top of the stairwell, because the seat doesn't advance into the landing. I'd be afraid an elderly or disabled person would slip and fall as they made their first step down to have a seat on it

Wow. I need this. Just had a pool installed but can’t afford the $4000+ price.

Love this. I wish you could demonstrate how to make the trolley etc that would just be awesome. Either way very innovative of yourself and ingenious

Dude you’re a hero. I bet this helped so many people

Thanks for sharing your project with us me need this old legs hav arthritis bad and hard to walk so ya made it look easy and ya dont need to be a rocket scientist to do this so thumps up 👆 ya got thissigned up for adventure mighty fine Sir carry on 😊from Canada 🍁 SK later

This is dangerous. You have no safety features. If the anchor point at the top of the stairs fails, the seat with the weight of the winch and passenger with cause it to roll down the rails at a high speed, causing serious injury. Also, as one commenter said, if you should put too much weight on the foot rest the whole contraption will tilt off the rails.

Brilliant! Nicely done!

Interesante pero a mí en vez la silla necesito plataforma para la silla de ruedas, mi mamá no puede apenas moverse.

Nice

Brilliant Barry! It's not only perfectly functional, it's also a very nice looking and tidy construction. Thanks for sharing.

Get a remote control for the switch, and you can call it down, or up. or a winch with this feature.

That’s fantastic! My mother needs one….is there a way you could post pics or explain exactly what it looks like on the bottom? I’m a carpenter, but not clear on how you attached those wheels ……thanks!

I think it is great , could you give me the domination , and did you have to modify your extention cord , I looked at some and the plugs where reversed ..

you are a true genius. great savings

Awesome!

I like that it's a little bit quicker than the average bespoke stairlift, as I've always worried how people would get downstairs (or upstairs depending on your house layout) fast enough in case of say a house fire. As someone else pointed out, I'd look into getting some kind of battery backup in case there's ever a power cut in the house. Maybe a bit of extra lighting attached to the box too to help visibility at night in case the lights ever fail (like in a power cut or house fire). The only thing I'd be a tad worried about is the strength of those wooden guides, and if they might crack or break over time, so I'd personally probably replace them with metal as soon as possible. Other than that, awesome job! This is probably how stairlifts first came into being, before someone figured out how to make them a little more compact. Still, gets the job done and that's all that matters! :)

Interesting idea but this clearly goes beyond the usual DIY in terms of planning, sourcing the required parts, fiddling with the technical aspects, safety & fine tuning to get it to work. Unless there's some pre-made kits out there sold based on stair length, stair inclination angle...such that the only task to do to get it installed is the drilling of holes on the staircase wall to mount this elevator structure to it.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO A VIDEO, YOU SHOULD MAKE IT A COMPLETE VIDEO. LIKE HOW THE SEAT WAS EXACTLY MADE BEFORE YOU PUT IT ON THE TRACK????

Great!! I want to make it my house.

Hello

I'm making one of these for my elderly dog thank you for the insight

Awesome ❤

totally AWESOME!! Thank You Sir!! I am recently totally disabled and had no idea how I was to afford a stairlift.

Really nice. We are thinking this for my mom. But we see one problem The seat would need to turn when we are at the top of the step and the bottom of step, unsafe for her to get out on steps. But such a great job you did thank you for the share.

Ingenius, thanks for sharing.

Very nice video thanks for sharing

Needs incremental stop points/deadman switches, to prevent that chair from rolling down in a catastrophe like a snapped cable. A broken neck and you will no longer need a lift, bc your new room will be on the ground floor with a home care nurse 16 hrs every day like Christopher Reeve

Hey Barry . Big fan of your videos. Can you build us one

Brilliant.
