Jesus man , that took some wrestling. You are one fit dude non stop taking the cable weight and stripping the armourings off is a massive cardio challenge in itself . Well done sir

A good tradesman never makes mistakes like this. I'm glad you rectified it without hesitation-that shows a good spirit. I am also a tradesman and have never made such a mistake, following the skills I learned from my super seniors. They were all good-hearted people, and I am very thankful to God for learning the basics from them. I work in the oil field and couldn’t start a channel like yours, so I created one focused on relaxation and entertainment. I’d appreciate your support. You can listen to the videos whenever you sleep in your van.

just come across this video and it struck me you could possibly have moved the bottom din rail and connectors down rather than redoing the cables and glands

I was an Industrial electrician for 50 years and the best by far in installing swa cables was Taylors, they were fantastic

You mean they dont just land that way when the cable gang throws them in?😂

Good to see someone who actually cares about their work, seen far too many bodge jobs recently 👍🏼

Great workmanship.

Nice job, glad that is not going in my power bill. Some serious power

Work of art mate

Neat

High quality work By a high quality man Your knowledge is appreciated

Tune!

Mate that’s a terrible design, panel builder should be name and shamed.

I was a telephone cable jointer working on 40800 pair cables in London in some filthy deep manhole and tunnels but we had some great laughs good workmates

H&S is a box tick for grey men. cretins who hide behind a desk and their rule book.

240mm!! i did a 90mm recently and that was hard enough!!!

Hey my sparky mate Daryl adams is a bloody good spark 😂😂

Once got my finger caught in a beltsander for a split second and it ground half my fingernail away down to the flesh. Dont ask me how I managed to do that. I've literally broken bones and the pain was more endureable 😅. Presented myself to the hospital too because it looked bad and I really didn't want the wound to become infected.

Oh we have brand new ones from Knipex 😅. Because not every single guy can carry a 2000€ battery Klauke cutter around all day.

Did they do that deliberately is the question. Well if they wanted the phase rotation changed they would have told you wouldn't they

Hi Tony, great video as always mate 👍🏼 I hate working on those Ryefield Panels 😖 Voodoo Ranger is great, haven’t found anywhere in the UK that sell cans so good luck with your search. If you do find a supplier, I’d be greatful if you could post a link 🍻 Keep up the good work. Matt

An absolute joy to watch mate, hat off too you sir. 💪

There is a hollow tubular screen around the glow plug that you can get out with a lag bolt. Make sure that that screen is clean which can be burnt off with a torch. Also make sure the little hole that goes to the side of the screen is clear.

...Something of an expert... LOL probably true bud!

"Finns are not doing what they're supposed to be" 😂😂 or was it fins? However, greetings from Finland 😀

Run it on low when required but turn it up to full onions for 15mins before switching off. That should burn the soot off 👍🏻

I had a big dog when i did travelling work. She'd guard the truck while i was working and keep me warm on them cold nights.

The plug thing is a glow plug that initially heats to start the ignition of the diesel and then turns off when the temperature is high enough. There's a mesh around it that can also clog up. Spares are ten a penny on eBay due to the ultra mass produced nature of these heaters. The smoke does indicate that the fuel flow might be a bit high, and the solenoid pump was going like the clappers, so it may need some experimentation to find the sweet spot for efficient burning.

now you just need to make a proper thermal battery for it, a bag of sand some old gutter pipe,

The secret to these heaters is that they need to be ran hot. I have one myself. Thats how you keep them burning clean run them for long periods of time so it can get glowing hot and cook off everything nasty inside.

An afterburner from Ray may be a good choice so you can tune the unit for max performance and fuel use or use kerosene instead of diesel as its cheaper unless you can pilfer cherry from the work sites you visit 🙂. I have used Kero for years on my cheap chinese diesel heaters and once tuned they burn clean with very little carbon "coke" build up inside. The Afterburner then turns the heater into a good thermostat controlled heater so you do not have to power up and down during the night as once set to the desired temp it will try and keep that temp until you need to get up for work. you can even set it to warm the van up with custom timers so the van is nice and warm for you getting back after a days graft. If wifi or bluetooth connected you can control the Afterburner from your mobile phone. They cost a few quid and Ray builds and sells direct from Australia. His knowledge of the cheapo chinese diesel heaters is vast and his Afterburner is virtualy plug and play. He will send it from Australia to the uk in about 7 days depending upon his work load or planned holidays.. I have 2 Afterburners, 1 genuine unit from Ray and One self build unit that he helped me to build D.I.Y style. www.mrjones.id.au/afterburner/index.html links to his site and you can contact him via email with enquiries and purchases etc. Questions are normally answerd within 24 hours or you can get invited to his F.B page where help is always on hand from all the users..

Who do you think you are, Dean Doherty?

Totally feeling your pain here. I get so pissed off and disheartened with sorting out other peoples shitty bodged installations, it sometimes makes me feel like leaving the industry, but your a credit to our industry, keep doing what your doing. I love watching your professionalism, it's very refreshing to see.

Betty Ford clinic. Lol

Have you a link for diesel heater

Fuel mixture is too rich, plenty of videos showing you how to change the settings.. i use an Eberspaecher on my boat but that mainly for insurance reasons

Do you have a CO alarm in your van?

Brake cleaner spray for the last of the soot residue !!👍🏻

Whoever made that mess either didn’t know better and shouldn’t have been left unsupervised, or did know better and should be hired again.

People changing the numbers on cables and connecting them wrong is beyond poor workmanship; it's dangerous - both to anyone in the building generally and electricians working on it. Personally, I would tell the client I can't safely do the work until the problems are fixed, and that any fault-fixing is on a per-hour basis. Then do the agreed work for a fixed fee.

How do they get away with it??

Electricians consistently leave all their rubbish to tidy up on all job sites I've worked at. No surprises.

Hey Tony, looks like you got your new safety vest! 😁👍🍺

Do u have a tool list for all your equipment?

Can you not bill main contractor for putting work right, if not name and shame

Never had to endure arseholery like this luckily.

Great video as ever Tony, thankfully that's not any cable gang or jointer i know.

Little thumbs up Ynot

TONY-CLAMP!

Been thinking about hiding GPS Trackers in my tool bags in case some godless ba***ard decides he can just walk walk away with it. Theft on sites has gone mental here anything even resembling the valuable copper these bandits are after cant be left outside for long. We had idiots literally drive up on our yard and trying to load cable drums into their car. We have CCTV and signs on the entrances 😂 So they fled empty handed and were even prosecuted afterwards. Then there was a time on a large hospital new build where at any given time lenghts of cable would just vanish. They took hundreds of kilos of cable in total.
