Using Stilts Installing Crown

Mrmac204

ran this idea past a long term carpenter the other day- thought I was being nutty- he says ya, in some situations, he will put his saw up high and then put on stilts, saves on running up and down ladders. hmmmm I guess if you don't have to go down stairs it'd be ok... got me thinking though

Was wondering the same thing i was thinking of having one guy on stilts and one guy cutting . guy cuts hands it to other guy

If you were doing it by yourself, how would you cut the crown? Would the miter saw be on stilts too?

I do crown solo all of the time and I have no problem going up and down the ladder.....but then again I dont have that far to go since I am 6'3" tall

I just set up two ladders and a stretch pick....move it as you need it, works great for big jobs

I us a fold up mini baker when possible, or 3 foot ladders and a pick.

Doh! ok thanks I kinda figured that but I've not heard that expression used here- scaffolding plank, 2 x 12 - I've heard of those

my apartment is surrounded by them right now- "leaky condo" thingy happening- trowelled cement finish in a north lattitude rain forest- and it leaks? who'da figured that?

we're lucky, we don't have mushrooms-
