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.
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
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.
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!!!
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
***** 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...
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 TH-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! 🤓🤡
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.
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.
Congratulations Mattthias! As usual, veryyyyy interesting project! Every single part of your projects shows how you intelligently combine science and hands-on skills.
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...
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!! ;-)
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...
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.
Matthias - I have seen you build many things since I discovered your TH-cam channel, and this takes the biscuit! Outstanding, mad as hell, but OUTSTANDING. (Just be careful please!)
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.
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!
Somehow, this reminds of a time when I was about 10, near the end of winter in mid-March. Three friends and I determined it would be a grand idea to scavenge a dozen or so mismatched, occasionally rotting logs and lash them together with scraps of rope to fashion a most seaworthy (not) raft. Upon completion of construction and duly christening said raft, with herculean effort, we slid it over, across, and through stream-side ice and snow banks, and managed to launch it into the frigid, swollen, and raging Class 7 waters of what was no longer a tiny brook. That we actually somehow boarded this contraption and cruised some few feet downstream - with our legs and booted feet slipping between the logs and falling on our wet asses - was a miracle, surpassed only by the miracle that we lived to tell about it. Any one or all of us could have easily drowned that day. I really don't think there are many differences between our rafting adventure and elevated, motorized wood scaffold riding.
I watched a few of your video's and I'm amazed how your mind works. Thank you for your ideas and keep up the great work. I'm now building my wood shop and can't wait to try some of your projects.
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.
+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.
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
I never thought I would laugh watching an home-made motorized wooden scaffold. Good job ! I wonder if the very goal of building this scaffold was not just for the pleasure to motorize it :-) Cheers from France.

Sure. I've used them a bunch. What's your point?

another thing I never thought I’d hear: “This scaffold doesn’t corner very well."

That is funny.

You are a genius or a mad man. Either way I love it

It's amazing how often those two things are the same
Amazing job! Didn't expect to work that good!
Matthias’ videos are about the only ones I watch from beginning to end. He is what TH-cam was made for.
Motorizing the scaffold.

Matthias Wandel Love it Mathias. When are you going to start work on a time machine ?
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.
Most people don't understand the concept of " just to see if you can." Great job. Thats How Things Get Invented.
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.

+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.
+ledganache live a little
Oh, you know I want a ride!
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
That is insanely Cool!
Lets see you top that one :)
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 No one living in the states would be willing to provide video proof of topping that. It would mean cancelled medical insurance
He is just having fun and I for one love It! What a Wonderful Mind Matthias has.

You look to be in the Black and Decker class.
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.
My first thought when I read the video title was "you are mad"... I immediately jumped to watch the video. I love it.

You are a health and safety nightmare, never stop! I wish I could use a motorized scaffold in ontario.
Nick Moore try the snapy scaffold and stop wishing
One man show. Everything is made out of wood. Steering, forward & reverse mechanism is excellent. Great work man. God bless you.
O Lord, You are a wonderful artist Matnih every sense of the word. I was depressed and sad, but I watched this video become happy. Thank you very much

I wonder does Matthias have those noments of wtf am I doing
ROFLMAO!!
This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen all week, and I LOVE IT.

What does your wife think of all these gizmos? You kind of remind me of the mad scientist from Back to the Future
+Stroker Ace Am still trying to take her for a ride on that scaffold. She does not appear keen on the idea.
You mean Dr Brown?
I wonder why
Smart wife!
No, he's the guy from "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"
Matthias Wandel - The closest thing we have to a mad scientist ;) Love it
You should build a car out of just wood and a motor.
Agreed..
+12Me21 Just wood and a battery-powered drill.
i would go fund that!
+12Me21
Nah, man. He's already made track systems. Try a wooden tank.
All of which must come from dumpster diving.

MATTHIAS THAT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE BE CAREFUL WE NEED MORE GREAT MINDS LIKE YOUR IN THIS WORLD!!!
VERY WELL DONE!
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. :)
Düz bir zeminde kullanmak için arazide elbet olumsuz olurdu.
грандиозный изобретатель
Matthias, you're my hero.
+ralewast A braver one than myself, lol. :D
This is both the most terrifying and amazing ting you've built yet. Keep up the great work!
Love your ingenuity, Matthew. And you had fun creating it.
This was the funniest thing I've seen in the last week at least. Hahaha what an awkward and awesome machine
this seems like such a bad idea. I LOVE IT!
dude, you are on another level
Literally.
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.
This is the best motorized scaffolding film I've seen since Mad Max And His Struggle Against The Killer Scaffold.
Can you make a scissor lift?
you are the true mad scientist. i'm waiting for the wooden flux capacitor. :) :) :)
"Lathes- who needs them?" -Matthias Wandel
Matthias - I have seen you build many things since I discovered your TH-cam channel, and this takes the biscuit! Outstanding, mad as hell, but OUTSTANDING. (Just be careful please!)
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.
Matthias, you are absolutely *_WACKO_* !! LOL
put furniture sliders underneath the two legs near the motor
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.
One never knows what to expect from you next....amazing creativity!
2nd grade i built a bench ouut of scrap . Im 62yrs now and by far thats the coolist thing ever ...that was my 2nd video... keep going
It's your channel and your videos, go for it :-)
Before I watched, I thought this might turn into a Darwin award.
needs a pirate flag and a cannon.
Skull and crossbones?
Matthias you're a crazy inventor. Glad to see it work so well. Even more glad that it didn't tip over with you in it.
Matt you are one wild and crazy guy. Love watching your videos. You are the Geek of woodworking. your engineering ability is entertaining.
Quite entertaining! :-) Did you later install a power outlet on the underside of the roof in order not to run over the power cord?
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!
OMG! OSHA would consider your shop a target rich environment!
What would a US agency be doing in Canada ?
Somehow, this reminds of a time when I was about 10, near the end of winter in mid-March. Three friends and I determined it would be a grand idea to scavenge a dozen or so mismatched, occasionally rotting logs and lash them together with scraps of rope to fashion a most seaworthy (not) raft.

all strong inventions are created from crazy ass ideas and this sir is totally crazy, love all your videos keep them coming and most of all stay safe.
Crazy! But I love it!
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.
Genius status achieved!
I watched a few of your video's and I'm amazed how your mind works. Thank you for your ideas and keep up the great work. I'm now building my wood shop and can't wait to try some of your projects.
This is one of the awesomest things you have ever made
what do you do when you test something and it doesn't work ?
+Mohamed El-berbawi Then I don't build it and don't make a video (I usually test the concept before doing a build)
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.
and that, kids, is why women live longer than men
+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.
I want one of these!! But...my ceiling is only 8' tall...but still!!
You could make yours 2' tall. Just for fun!
you can't please everybody..but its nice too see people think positively rather than the opposite..good job matt...
Hahahahahaha maaaan youre fucking crazy i love it! LOL
Thats freakin hilarious
уважаемый, да твои предки из России... только русские могут придумать такую хрень
surprising, motorized scaffolding. very ... very good.
thanks for all your videos.
from SPAIN.
When it comes to carpentry/woodworking/construction, this project takes nerd to a whole other level.
In the next video; 'How to make a wheelchair out of wood' (!)
Lol
This video makes me so nervous...
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. :-)
Every step you do is refreshingly smart.
I never thought I would laugh watching an home-made motorized wooden scaffold. Good job !
I wonder if the very goal of building this scaffold was not just for the pleasure to motorize it :-)
Cheers from France.
Would have been more stable with pocket holes.
