With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan, I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
Fred Dibnah. Legend. Well worth watching.
Happy birthday Scott. I'm from Bolton, Fred Dibnah was a hero of the town. His house was up the road from where I lived, he had steam locomotives and a mine shaft he excavated himself in his garden. There is a big statue of him in the town centre.
He was a "man's man", had brass balls the size of Mellon's; just watch him knocking in metal hooks in to the big round chimney and winching up ladders with him as he goes, no harness, just a long bit of rope, some metal hooks with little bits of rope on each (5 foot if I remember correctly (he was completely imperial in all he did, no metric for him)) a hammer and enough ladders to get to the top with small crossovers between each ladder and some wooden off stands at each end of the ladder. As a child I was in awe of him, he was so brave and almost super hero like. Loved seeing all his steam and coal powered industrial kit that he had installed in his garden, was a legend. RIP Fred.
He was an awesome guy to watch. Best thing was there wasn't much health and safety bs back then these days you would need 50 grands worth of scaffolding round a chimney not to mention all the hazard awareness forms filled out. While he would be up there after lunch having had 3 or 4 pints with his cheese butty
Great shout out for Fred Dibnah. Growing up in the UK he was a real character and I loved his enthusiasm for the industrial revolution and the innovations that brought about, like steam engines.
11.40 absolutely! 🇬🇧 My dad used to watch his stuff on tv all the time. A very brave and interesting character.
Ah the good old steeplejacks. A very old and rare trade now in the UK. Fred knew everything about brick structures.
Love the fred Dibnah series. I remember the first time watching it & hes on top of this chimney about 400 feet high. The could feel the piss rolling down my leg. No shit
theres a very relaxing quality about your personality, and style of your videos. just a few hours ago i was panicking about work, so i put your videos on as BGM, and now i'm a lil calmer. so thanks for the content Scott! you really make the tough demolition and renovation work look easy.
Fred was the best! Love that ole' boy. Sad day when he passed. LEGEND!
Hi Scott, not only was he a nutter when it came to knocking down chimneys and he liked nothing better than scaring the locals and sometimes even the people he was working for, but he had another skill as a stand-up comic and their wasn’t a dry eye in the house from laughing so much. Another character you want to check out was “Blaster Bates”, his stories will have you rolling on the floor with laughter.
Happy birthday Scott 🎉
I am in NZ and took my chimney out this year. Though mine was made of rectangular concrete interlocking preforms. When they came out whole it was great, but when they didn't they had wire ring reinforcing that had to be cut to break them apart. Made a bit of a mess, but now that I have a modern log burner instead of an open firepalce, I love it.
Oh man Fred Dibnah is the man! The way he climbs industrial chimney's with no ropes or scaffold or anything, a different world back then. Crazy skills, and balls!
Fred Dibnah! What a legend. Happy Birthday Scott!
Fred was the old school steeple jack.💪🏻💪🏻🏴
I came across Fred Dibnah on youtube a couple of years ago, amazing, no harness, no scaffold, no nothing. Demolishing chimneys 100mtrs in the air, couldn't get away with it these days. BTW, the area you are working in looks like Windmill Rd, Mt Eden.
Brilliant, last thing I expected on a Scott video was a Fred Dibnah shoutout. He was a household name in the UK.
Happy Birthday Scott!👍 love the channel, awesome job so far! 👍😃
Happy Birthday Scott. Thanks for all the cool videos.
HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY Scott thanks for the uploads 👍🏻 from one builder to another you’ve built the best TH-cam channel. Honest, friendly and informative... love it keep up the good work boys 🎂🎁🎉🎈
Love the Fred dibnah shout out the man was an inspiration and had balls of steel
Happy birthday Scott. Really great work as always
Great Fred Dibnah shout out!
As a big Scott Brown fan who lives in Bolton, England, it was quite surreal to hear Scott mention Bolton and Fred Dibnah.
Fred Dibnah is a legend . Loved his programs
I like that you show the careful preparation for your jobs Scott. So many times the guys I work with just want to get the hammers & saws out and it always ends up creating more work overall. It's easy to feel that prep time is wasted time, or worry that the customer will be wondering why you "haven't started yet". I even feel it myself, even though I should know better. In the workshop, unless I'm making sawdust it's easy to tell myself I'm not working or earning. However preparation is always the key to a good, long lasting and better value result. It can be hard to price jobs competitively when you factor in that real-world prep time needed to do first class work. Thank you for showing us that good work takes time and care.
Really enjoying your series of videos on this renovation Scott. Your shoutout to Fred Dibnah made me comment! As I was watching you knock down the chimney I was thinking of Fred. He was a bit of a national institution in the UK, and his programmes were still repeated in the 80s and 90s when I was a boy. So I grew up watching him knock down stuff! The way he disappeared up an indistrial chimneys on ladders alone (no ropes!) was incredible.
Good to see the Old Estwing framing hammer makes a co-star part lol
As always great video! Happy birthday. Fred Dibnah videos I could watch for hours!
Fred was a true craftsman. I cant image fall restraint over a couple of meters. But...... Fred after a cpl of pints.
Happy birthday Scott!!! Many hands make light work!!
So glad fred is still known even other side the world he is a legend hell of a boy.
?
Your not wrong about that one
just watched one of Fred's videos - hes insane lol - cant believe he knocked all those chimneys on his own. hes a legend lol
@@hesebaby1 His shows would be on tv when I was a kid showing his life of steam with the wife and kids the steeplejacking was what payed for it all, felt sorry for his wife's but he was an mad engineering man with a stout heart, he has an amazing video of him pegging a chimney, I've watched hours over and over when he sounds the hooter and shouts its going ! I'd do that with the missus during hanky panky.
Second that 👍
That camera swap catch was mint 👌 good work boys
Fred is a legend in the UK. We need a national holiday named after him.
The care and attention that you guys take to your work is now becoming legendary. If only all contractors were like you. Clearing up as you go also makes the job much easier and customers appreciate conscientious attention to the job. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.
Hardest work I ever did was knocking down a chimney on a 3 story house where the chimney terminated in the basement. Knocking it down was the easy part, and quite fun. Carrying all the bricks to the back of the yard in the slushy snow was all Disney in Ice.
Thats cool man, Immediately think of Dibnah whenever chimneys are mentioned. He had great character
Scott when your working on a corragated roof you might want to wear Dunlop Volleys (runners) so you don't slip so much.
Massive respect Scott for the shout out to Fred 👍
Happy birthday Scott! Doing a great job mate !
Happy birthday Scott ! Your videos makes the day brighter.👍
Pleasure to watch you guys,Fred Dibnah Legend.👍👍👍
Fred was pure quality.
Happy birthday Scott!
MidWinter down under doesn't look ANYTHING like it does here in Vermont U.S. 😆
Nice shutout to Fred. He was fearless, hard-working and crazy in equal parts.
Won't find another like him now. 👑
Love Fred dibnah! Thanks for the videos Scott keep them up😎 oh and happy birthday!🎂
Everytime I've done brick demo, I've used a small roto hammer with a chisel bit and set it to hammer only. It makes for short work of breaking the mortar seams allowing for quick brick removal.
Happy (belated) birthday! Keep up the really fantastic videos from all that way across the world... (I’m in the UK). And, yes, Fred Dibnah was quite someone...
Good to see you got it weather tight..and HB Scott Brown 👍
I grew up around 5 miles from Bolton, Fred used to be seen driving around town on a steam roller - real character he was.
Oh yeah Fred. Love his old tv programmes. Watched him ascend chimneys as if he was climbing the stairs. Incredible stuff.
Happy birthday Scott! Big fan from California, thanks for the awesome content!
What an energetic intro, I thought I clicked on the wrong channel
Also, Happy birthday!
Happy belated birthday Scott from Hamilton.
Hope you guys are staying safe in Auckland.
If you guys ever need work in Hamz you guys can work on my place.
Keep up the cool videos, love watching them.. makes me want to get back into chipping again.
Fred Dibnah, absolute legend!
always blows my mind seeing how differently things are framed in other countries and other time periods
Happy Birthday Digger!
Fred D, legendary Steep Jack !
Fred Dinah was a total legend 🥺🧱👍🏼
Watching the Fred Dibnah video now. What a character!
Fred Dibnah was a huge character! Absolutely lovely man! :-)
Happy Birthday Dude, awesome work!
I'm not a builder, I'm just wondering why you didnt just put a bucket at the bottom of the chimney and knock bricks in from the top all the way down, emptying the bucket as it fills?
I like your short videos, great work. I had a laugh when you mentioned Fred, he came up on my TH-cam feed only the other day!
Fred and the over hangs were the ones that got me. Rigging ladders on a 30 degree over hang 200 feet up having spent lunch time in the pub. Balls of bull
Best saying, a mistake was not a problem just got you half a day out with the undertaker
Why didn't you use your rotary hammer drill with a chisel bit? Just wondering--I saw that you have a SDS rotary hammer in one of your tools videos. I was actually looking forward to using mine to take out my chimney (maybe next year). I had bought my SDS rotary hammer drill with the intention of using it for the chimney removal project, among other demolition work.
Fred Dibnah what a legend.
Fred Dibnah was/is a national treasure. Love all his videos. My grandfather loved his programmes when they first aired in the 70s-90s, takes me back to my childhood everytime I watch them!
Scott. If you liked Fred Dibnah I suggest you try Blaster Bates. He was an explosive demolition man from Cheshire and a wonderful raconteur. There is a lot of his material on TH-cam but I recommend that you start with his tale of the corner called Knickerbrook at Oulton Park racing circuit.
Happy birthday Scott! Really enjoy your videos- from Cape Town, South Africa.
I was quite surprised to see that the interior brick mortar lines came apart just by hitting them with a hammer! I have a 100 year old chimney on my house, where all of it is exterior brick & mortar, and I doubt that any of it will submit to just being taken apart by hand hammering. I may be wrong. But the above roof brick was rebuilt 20 years ago, and that mortar is like steel! I’m thinking an SDS max rotary hammer will do it. I’ll have to see. Nice video though!
Amazing video. So helpful. Thanks mate!
I'm really enjoying your videos. Demolishing a chimney, safely, is a big job.
Happy Birthday Scott! Fred Dibnah was a legend, proper old school builder. Built things once, built to last!!
Happy belated Mr. Brown!! Sucks getting old but the knowledge/ experience you have from it is the best part. The job is looking great. You are a good crew.
Happy birthday Scott! I hope you had a great day!
Happy Birthday Scott! Hope it was a great one!
Loving the Fred Dibnah shout out. He's a uk gem 😃
Great team work.
Shout out from Bolton. Love the videos @scottbrowncarpentry
Fred Dibnah is a working mans hero in the UK
One of the greatest English men of all time, 👍😁🔨🌲🇮🇪
"how can it fail"....., it just made sense why I like your work (channel).
Standing on a metal roof. Got any suggestion on best practices for this? I have a metal roof as well and its always an adventure.
watch fred dibnah chimney scaffold, now that is some crazy shit!
Habby born day Mr BROWN!!! Heres to many more TH-cam videos 🙃 and bdays!!!
Nice to see you guys wearing safety gear as needed 😁
Happy bday scott. Love your work bruv.
I'm glad you guys actually have good scaffolding not like those sketchy ones you see in the US :P
may I see what a US scaffold looks like?
No much better than than 2x4s cable tied together. Try getting on a roof in the UK without a scaff. The US stuff is a joke.
@@Thang_MD Look it up on google, It's some scary stuff wouldn't want to stand on them myself :P
Happy birthday Scott, hope you had an awesome one. 🎂
Yes! Love a bit of Fred
Happy birthday! And good job on that chimney.
Excellent Scott . You always manage to bring in gratitude and thanks to people. Even if they are thousands of kilometres away and have passed away! I’d obviously never heard of Fred, however now I have. I’m not a Carpenter, however I am an avid watcher of SBC! Well done to you & the boys.👍😎and it was your 🎂
Birthday too!😎
Met Fred as a young lad just before he died! Born in the same town, very well known around here for his skills and character! What a guy he was.
Fred Dibnah was a genius!
Another great video Scott, your jobs always look well planned ,safe, very tidy ,and have a great finish. Well familiar of Fred Dibnah being of a certain age here in Scotland. He had his own health and safety. Rope scaffolds and the like. Looking forward to seeing the finished article on your job.😀 👍.
Happy Birthday Scott!!!
Belated happy birthday! Great shout-out to Fred Dibnah. They certainly broke the mould when they made that guy. One of Britain's finest for sure!
Heck yeah! Epic work completed and I really enjoyed watching all the things you needed to consider when removing the chimney. Great soundtrack, editing, and sweet camera moves. Looking forward to the next upload! (Happy Belated Birthday Scott!)
Happy birthday Scott! Hope u had a nice day!
Happy birthday Scott. Another great video. Really enjoy watching them.
Happy belated birthday 👍🏾love the show
