Many of your techniques will be helpful for me. I was hoping to see more of the finished product, but I understand that you lost the loved one that you were building this for
Really like those clamps, never seen them before. I hope your Grand mother has breaks on her wheelchair mate cos she is gonna pick up speed going down there!
This video is wonderful. I was originally planning on using four 2X4's as joists for a shed ramp, however, my problem was figuring out how to attach the support beams the most secure way. Instead of that nightmare, if I just use four 4X4's instead, I can place each joist DIRECT on top of the 4 support beams, then support each side of these connections with two, small pieces of 2X4's using a couple carrier bolts!!!! This is MUCH more robust than relying on 8 lag bolts to support up to 500 lbs................. what was I thinking??????
Great to be able to re-purpose wood pieces. Had to mute to watch, to much distraction with sound. Great as a handicapped ramp, which aren't usually to be used for a wheelchair. There are different types I would think, especially if one only has a bum knee. Sturdy for sure.
I don’t care about code and I don’t use a wheel chair. This is exactly what I want to build for my house (outside city limits) did you ever assemble a rail for it?
The ramp is to steap, should be 1 inch drop per ft. With a brake/ 4x4 deck and come off the deck / brake with the rest of the ramp. But still a cool build.
@@tracematson385 Are you asking for this part 10:59 of the video? I screwed two blocks of wood under the workbench, clamped the 2x6 vertically facing the top of the workbench on it. Then I could cut with an angel about 30° with the circular saw on top of the workbench.

Was looking for a video about how to build the bottom onto a wheelchair ramp for my wife. Thanks.
Welcome
Best regards JoJO
In the Usa it has to be 1 inch rise per foot. It’s code. But sometimes you gotta make it work i guess
Very well made but I think it's supposed to be 1 foot out for every in high right.

I think this is the solution I used too.
You could drive a car up this ramp! Is King Kong in a wheelchair? Come build mine please!
Thank you, I thought:" Build it strong". Now the ramp is depleted, but the wood I used for several projects.
This is using ingenuity for a ramp build that could be used for many instances...like skate boarding and bike jumps
Very nice !

Y como quedó el final, falta su terminación

Thank you, but in the meantime I dissasembeled it, because my mother in law died at the age of 88 last year.
Sorry to hear that, my condolences.
@@alexbelle3941 Thank you
What you making a slide for the kids? There's a reason for the codes. I always go by code. Good luck with your "ramp!?"
There at the end i thought those were hinges you were attaching.
In the beginning at the ground I used sheetmetal from my local hardware store
I'd rate that at about 1500 lb very well done
So steep 150 lbs in a wheelchair would feel like pushing 1500 lbs up that thing
Wow that looks steep
Yes it was very steep, but there was no room for a longer ramp. But if somebody else pushes the wheelchair it worked very well.

Thank you, the ramp was not built for selfdriver, it was only used with a helper and that worked well.
That's too steep for anybody, including walkers. It's a ski slope.
It isn't to code but it is amazingly over built! Nice work
Thank you
how exactly did he cut that bottom 2x6? I could not tell

@@jojosworkshop1344 Yes thank you, it looked weird on my phone almost like you took a jigsaw
@@tracematson385 You are welcome
Solid test! 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you
My mother could use one of those.
Steep
Not even close to code
Never mind that slope
Talk about a runaway
