[@crazyrocketguy4687]

The Unistrut brackets look totally overkill for a shelf that's gonna be holding a router and some other networking equipment. I love it.

[@jd3497]

Overkill and expensive hardware. Dexion is cheaper and actually more versatile.

[@HenkChinaski]

Abso-fawkin-lootely overkill yet skookum as frig.

[@jasonvonhaartman3325]

the shelf brackets will be the next job after brush holders in 2124 (spring) to be replaced.

[@garyblack8717]

And here I am thinking I'd put a half height wall mount 19" rack and a patch panel! LOL

[@scottcol23]

As a fellow electrician. I love seeing you put so much attention to detail and how it looks. I cannot stand coming in behind someone else and seeing all the butchery. I have to stop myself from going nuts fixing it. LoL. Love the videos.

[@kylejuve5494]

Why do electricians spend more time leveling conduit than plumbers do water pipes?

[@tedweaver4526]

The most amazing part of this video was watching an electrician clean up after himself.

[@thegreatjellydoughnu]

Plastic strut end caps did not know I needed those till today. An impact rated extension will not mind being used as a punch as much as a chrome (mushroomed enough to know). Nice shelf Chris.

[@mikeiver]

I always tell the apprentices that "Your work is your signature." Also, when planning and performing a task to remember that future access and ease of future work are important. "Remember the next poor bustard, he could be you!" In the case of this job the shelve I believe is in the exclusion zone around and in front of a panel. Minor in this case anyway. I am with others on the shelf brackets. I would have stopped off at Lowes and picked up four of the welded shelf brackets for this task. Also hate the wood for shelves and would have used the money saved on the Unistrut parts to buy a couple of sheets of 1/8" 6061T6 aluminum cut to size. I would have counter sunk the holes and installed CS machine screws instead. I hate bolt heads and washers on shelves! Even with my gripes it is still a stud duck job.

[@LtKernelPanic]

Nice job on the new shelving for the network gear. The new electric panel came out nice too.

[@joeschulz7997]

Nice job. I worked for C.E. in NYC. I had many jobs assigned to me because very few people could do conduit work. Even our illustrious engineering department would dumb jobs down and endorsed wiring layout like your exciter motor leads that you showed (unprotected, fast install, & cheap time and material rate). I guess many corporations are members of the subgenius philosophy & schooling.

[@michaelwynne2801]

WTF!!! Data in a live feed JB??? You go to jail for that shit in Aussie. Keep up the great work Chris

[@DrewskisBrews]

Nice improvements. Annoying to see the earlier maintenance philosophy was "this is good enough if it works for today". Regarding the conduit using the pre-formed bends vs custom bending, is that because the facility is too cheap to own/rent the equipment, or because it isn't practical to do so for that diameter?

[@REWYRED]

Unistrut is amazing shit. Can use it for building almost anything

[@davejase3399]

Exciter cables secured to to the floor with no pipe. Nice. Anyone that takes pride in their work knows that there is form/function/safety to do it correctly. "What an asshole" LOL

[@dannelson8556]

And yet it functioned perfectly for over 100 years, as I like to say pretty is as pretty does I suppose another way of saying it is if it's not broken don't fix it. unfortunately some people are more interested in aesthetics and making things pretty then actual functionality which explains why things are so expensive today.. someone's going to have to pay for all those expensive unnecessary upgrades, back in the old days we used to call this busy work.

[@Ink_25]

Not sure why every cable needs to be inside a pipe, abroad that's absolutely the norm

[@larskruse7575]

People marking walls with felt-tips give me chills everytime

[@Physicsduck]

[@jasonvonhaartman3325]

physicsduck for like thatDamDuck LOL

[@SuperBrainAK]

They are sure being lax about the budget, because we all know that if we werent limited by budget we would strive for sexyness like that. Too bad you couldnt move the HV stuff in that corner and put the networking next to the computer desk. You Sir are an inspiration to me

[@corydavey3026]

Drilling holes in a dam

[@davidbudka1298]

Likely the powerhouse on this low head installation is above the crest of the dam.

[@dehypnotizerz]

I've never, ever seen such a cool method of making shelves. I'm gonna use it in my home!

[@sebmorrell]

The conduit you installed is lovely.

[@rhadden8976]

Nicely done! Plan your work...work your plan, most effective way to get any job done. 👍

[@joek0617]

oh shit. the sparky is handling ethernet.

[@Physicsduck]

Everybody watch out!

[@linuxuser21629]

Thinks sparkys shouldn't handle also include coax.

[@thebeetalls]

It's kind of tight but I wonder if a 12u rack would've fit there instead. Anyway, it's better than 90% of the network dmarc points I've seen. It sure beats a sheet of plywood screwed to the wall with all of the network equipment zip tied to the wood.

[@Studio23Media]

Might be the most overkill router shelf I've ever seen. 🤣

[@TheWittyGeek]

Us IT folks normally just throw a backing board on the wall and strap everything to that. So much less of a PITA to work with than shelves IMHO. Those are some extreme duty shelves though.

[@Darklor_WCF]

As an electrician, seeing that SO for the exciter like that made me die inside a little bit

[@Physicsduck]

It kills me too. I would love some suggestions on makes and models of suitable exciters for these. What do you recommend? :)

[@davidspisak1837]

The disclaimer at the end is top notch brother!

[@randomeer7831]

The disclaimer is awesome!

[@ZlotyCK89]

Any plans for networking hardware upgrade or old tech stays?

[@kylejuve5494]

Doing it properly and pretty…I too weaponize my autism at work. I assemble concrete mixer trucks. Everything passes through my fingers of other people cut drilled welded painted and preassembled. Not every hole is where it’s supposed to be. Not every hole is the right size

[@jimnasby]

So at some point someone actually said "Oooh, feeding 8 breakers with 12 gauge is bullshit... BUT I CAN TOP THAT!" and then grabbed a spool of cat 5 (except really I'd bet it was at best cat 3, cause if you're gonna go for bullshit, why screw around?) 😆 Also, I like how those brackets are probably sturdy enough to hold an entire 48U server rack, but instead is gonna hold one tiny ethernet switch 😂

[@joshuapk9808]

Why are there random cables coming out of the vent holes of the generator??

[@Physicsduck]

I honestly have no idea. I haven't gotten to that yet. One nightmare at a time. What do you guys think those wires might be?

[@joshuapk9808]

@@Physicsduck They aren't output cables, are they? I'd hope that the output cables would have a flange or box or some other fixture attached to the generator specifically for that purpose... kind of like the electric service masthead on a house.

[@DanBowkley]

@@Physicsduck I really really hope it's some kind of instrumentation and not the actual output...please tell me it's instrumentation.... .....it's the fucking output isn't it?

[@norbert.kiszka]

​@@Physicsduck same thing when I was working in the hospital made before 1970. Once I got fuses box with schema on door inside. It wasnt 100% clear, but life support systems was powered on bottom. However it did not mach in 100%, so I did "mistake" and removed fuse from real working life support system. It was big surprise, because UPS (backup battery power) was good, which is very rare thing in this hospital. In other case, my life can be supported by government for about 5 years (jail). Kinda in Poland.

[@magic.marmot]

That is indeed some sexy condituity. Somehow it never occurred to me that you were an electrician. The more I learn about what you do, the more I want to be like you. I've already started, and it's rough but so rewarding.

[@bobthedog123456]

No kill like overkill I guess... Also did you put gal spray on the cut ends? I didn't see any.

[@charlesheier277]

Nice works brother ❤

[@nixxonnor]

Awesome. A thing of beauty, a joy forever :)

[@steveschlick995]

Did I just read "dumbass" in the disclaimer? lol Love this channel.

[@slashmaster2]

Is that M-18 Vacuum the same width and depth case as your other Milwaukee tools so you can neatly stack them?

[@Thefreakyfreek]

Sooo about that unistrut stuff ey So I know that it probably wont matte for some little router stuf but woud it not be a lot better if the bracket is on the top instead of on the bottom of the horizontal beams now all the beny forces focuses on the 5 mm of angel iron wile if in the top it only pulls on it and pushes on the bottom I know the angle bracket woud be in the way of the shelves but noting some sawing coud not fix

[@andrewspohrer7183]

What kind of pliers are you using to hammer those anchors in? Never seen ones like that 😆

[@IamTedV]

I think that Dewy, Cheatum & How wrote that disclaimer and charged by the word!!!! 😂

[@rbrtcrowther]

I guess the site can de remotely controlled via the internet? So…. What happens is the internet drops out or failed completely. Does the generator shut down or does it carry on at the last known command?

[@Physicsduck]

There is no internet connection to anything command and control. That would be a gigantic security problem. We can monitor things remotely, speed, power, temperature, water levels, things like that...but our computer system is a strip club....you can look, but you can't touch. The only way to change anything on the generator is to be physically standing there at the control panel. The only way to make a computer that can't be hacked, is to physically unplug it.

[@arvinsupetran8844]

Nice works.. you gonna bring that power house into anew.

[@Physicsduck]

That's the plan! :)

[@lanswipe]

Ever think of doing 19" racks instead of unistrut shelves for the networking?

[@gregorylewis8471]

You had me at Unistrut! 🤣🤩😁

[@johnbattista9519]

Excellent.. was could have had a fresh coat of white but all in all, looks nice. Liked your AH comment on past electrician fastening cable to floor.

[@janetcohen917]

Husky, , 900-in-one screwdriver. Love it.

[@mikeydk]

Is there a part 2 of this?

[@owenmercer5443]

How is the scetchy panel fed with two conductors 😂

[@brandonbaney5734]

That's done beautiful, uhhh plywood

[@Snyper1188]

just noticed in the disclaimer, "Speed limit - 56kilobaud or higher". I spat my rice i was eating out hahaha that shit's funny.

[@johnmsklenar4364]

Get elevator bolts to fasten the shelves

[@xartpant]

Finally got a real job. Someone would be proud of you, Mr Boden.

[@andyfeimsternfei8408]

Looks like a tap rule violation.

[@chrisrhodes5464]

That don't happen everyday to have an outlet right where you are working

[@janetcohen917]

Red brick sucks for anchors.

[@arf20]

love it

[@edisont.picard4112]

Probably could have used $1 shelf brackets from Walmart to sit the router on and saved that strut money to buy a real surface mount panel.
