Allan iam certain we went to the same school of scaffolding did you ever use a single for a baseplate if you had no plate

Masking tape and cable ties are a must have.

A rubber seal on the drive shaft of the lorry broke and i couldnt get a toe to the garage about 20 miles way , so i repaired it by hammering rope around the drive shaft , and drove the 20 miles back to the garage , saving me the cost and waiting of the toe truck , the fitters face was a picture when he seen what i ad done all the rope had melted and formed an almost perfect seal :laugh::laugh:
who said scaffs ait got brains

used 2 six inch nails to fix a band and plate

 

[philliosmaximus]

Remands me of a tight old scaffolder years ago who fixed his boots by hammering 2 x 4inch nails through the side of the toe to hold the sole on.
Same fella used his wage packet for a wallet wrapped it with tape , and had a new one every week ,

few firms round here use this but to be to[p handrail seems to far away from top toboard but work if short of tube.

charge hand was telling us a crk and when i asked the scaff he laffed its true, never took sleve pout with them so found some battond and used them as pins
