Scaff with a wiizzer,petrol or electric, would have to be wizzer trained now. :huh: courses about 75 quid. would also need,coshh ass,hotworks permit, manual handling trained, etc etcetera best get the old pipecutter /reamer out
 
I was taught by an old scaffolder 35 years ago that a scarf was a short tube fixed to strenghten a joint with 2 band & plate or 2 swivels, also called spliced or laminated

Yes Scarfe is the standard that is to be hemped up.
Excess tube on the ledgers is called needles.

Needles are the tubes that come out/off buildings when erecting cantilevers,

Never ever heard of a name for over long ledgers,

They should not be there in the first place :wacko:

I believe when using Rope and wood pole scaffolding, you placed the next standard along side the one you wanted to "top-out" and lashed it this action was known as scarfing.

We were hemping out on 3ft hemps

We were topping out on 3ft toppers

We were scarfing out on 3ft scarfs

All same King :D

Ive hempt on to a 3ft scarf:cheesy:
 
I hate it when non- scaffolders call hemping up a tube: "Extending the pole" and when every fitting is called a 'clip'... :wacko:
 
how about " pigs ears " or " ***** clips" for singles
