Wondering if any of you older guys on here remember much about scaffolding around the wartime?

Be interesting to hear any stories back

Are you referring to when the Scaffs used wooden masts and hemp rope or 2" water pipe and SGB Sets ???
 
Big ben fittings i would imagine and chain blocks from sgb
 
Garry are you the first Neanderthal Scaffolder???

Thats the sort of era I was thinking, yes, with the good old (as it was then) Scaffolding Great Britain at the fore etc..
The old man's popped it now but I think he used to be in the game back then and I was wondering if anyone could remember anything else that was differnet to now...
 
Aye, it was a fu**ing nightmare dodging they doodle bugs when you were topping a paddy. Mind you, on the plus side we didn't have to worry about hooking on back then.:eek:

Great for Toeboards,and lapped toeboards.

However, i felt they were twatful on trannies, needed, more fingers than captain birdseye to situ them before you could wrap them up.

Many a fitting got slung,pinged off or just wouldnt reach the outside reach of a trannie:noworry:
