These scaffolds are made by the masons themselves with poles of different lengths and a few boards of small size of value, coming from the tearing (consecrated word) of boats and toues who go down the Marne and the other tributaries of Haute-Seine. These boats, which bring Champagne either construction timber for framing and carpentry, or firewood, are demolished, torn up on their arrival in Paris, by individuals who make this work their special industry. The debris from demolished boats is then delivered to builders under the name boat wood. The different parts which make up these scaffolds which are designated by special names; we find: 1. stilts, 2. pieces of timber, about 7 feet long and sticks, 3. hand ropes, 4. scaffold boards, 5. planks or gunwales, 6. ladders.
