Best Scaffolders you've ever worked with?

Do you have a mental list in your head of top scaffs from years ago, or still actually work with/know them?


Heres a few i have worked with:

Eddie Hanson (from Middlesboro) - Excellent Scaffolder and a real honest gentleman.
Darryl Venn (originally from Bristol, now lives in Essex) - Lightning fast, very good knowledge, overall one of the best ive worked with.
Vic Schneider (from London) An old time Benchmark Scaffolder, almost unmatched in scaffolding knowledge, real nice fella.
Neil Williams (from Nottingham) - Top scaff and nice overall bloke.
Ray Dwolitka (from Manchester) - Fast, agile was one of Trad's top scaffs back in the late 90's/early 00's.

Some of the spellings might be wrong, lol.
Just a few that ive worked with over the years, what about you guys?
Any stick in your head?

I'm working with ray dawolitka now.Have you got any stories old nicknames so I can have some fun wth the slippery ******.Cheers ,anything to get the banter going.
 
He still got that silly little 'laughing cavalier' beard thing?

I remember he was a tight fukker and used to slip off now and then and leave us: Simon, Lloyd and Myself (1, Part 1 and 2 Labourers) to whack a lump up while he did some 'paperwork'.

You know, that old chestnut...
Some times he actually come back with bags of shopping from Oxford Street, which was about a 45 minute walk away, the slippery b@stard, lol.


Good Scaffolder though, used to amaze me, how he'd wear a white vest and at the end of the day, it'd still look clean as a whistle, lol.
 
He hasn't changed a bit.He had the very same vest on the other day,it must be a fcuking tattoo.
 
Lol, i bet he aint...

Tell him hes a w@nker from me.
He probably wont remember me, tbh... it was about 13 years ago.

I was working on TRAD Scaffolding @ Leadenhall Street and Baynards House with him.
There was Him, Me, Simon Johnson and Lloyd Wright.


I was fukking useless too, lol.
But i got ALOT better over the few years that followed that. :)


Oh yeah... ask him if hes still knocking off that woman site agent, also? ;)
He used to fukk her on site and get payed 'overtime' for it apparently, the cheeky git, lol.
 
Eddie is the b0llocks.
Proper nice fella.

I worked with him at the Isle of Grain, for AllTask.
Say hello from me. :)

ever come across JIMMY DINGWALL EDINBURGH
 
I Jimmy Dingwall.
Jimmy was at Mossmorran.
Never worked in the same squad together. i was with rigblast and Jimmy was either Rigblast or Lummas.
I think he was at the moss anyway coz your going back 25 years,.
One time he offered to sell me some logs for my coal fire and did I want a van load.
I remember Jimmys driving, seemed like he had no breaks, but he couldnt get anymore logs in the van if he tried.
I think he stayed down Leith. He must have had ten years on me, and iam 48 now.
If he was at the moss, he would remember, Gordon Crystal, Plodder,
Maybe it was Grangemouth, remember John McCloudy, 'cloudy',
Any , jimmy came round my house at Juniper Green with the logs. in fact they were more like offcuts from the sawmill, mostly bark.
happy memories
