a customer of mine who was a shopfitter in the 70,s says he came across a gang of plasterers from Holland who used stilits,he said it was a real eye opener and saved a fortune on time associated with scaffold cost when plastering  ceilings ;)

Suspended ceiling fitters still use twin-leg sprung aluminium stilts.

I used to do plastering and drywall and once you get used to them the stilts are very comfortable to wear and easy to get on and off.

I have tried using stilts to do plastering, looked more like rustic artexing by the time I had finished.
