I love the way you work. You really have inspired me to do better. Been a spark for over 20 years running my own business but you take things to that next level that most don't bother to aspire to. Keep 'em coming! :)

A welcoming video. Top work John. Walking back and forth to the tool bag (or van) is the bane of all tradesmen at some point or other. Saving grace that“ our arses a glued to the back of our legs.” The comment made me chuckle.

I like your videos you're very skilled at what you do please get a nice kneeling pad though your knees will suffer later on like mine do I have got the kneeling pad built-in kneeling pads in my trousers which help a lot but a nice kneeling pad is well worth it

Hey Tony My son has just started serving his time with me. He has watched some of your videos and we did some small cables the other day and I let him off just to see how he got on with the glanding. He was there or there abouts. Your videos are invaluble so dont stop keep them coming .

Fair price. The public think the tools come free as you’ve already got them, you’re there anway, so it’s just a bit of time. No thoughts as to travel, digs, consumables, fuel, office time, training, calibration, tool replacement, 2 mile walk to toilet, years of experience and knowledge. In my case it’s taken me 50 years to get this good/quick 😂. Yes it is a gasket scraper, car trim removal tools are also good as the come with a cranked shaft

Cheers for the videos buddy, if I had only known about the exhaust cutter years ago. Would have saved the 32tpi hacksaw (both junior and full size) to try and avoid the problem of 'hockey sticks' on the armouring! This must have been childs play compared to the 240mm csa cables. Thanks and every day is a school day. From a former industrial compex sparky. Keep up the instructional videos, and as always I steer my industrial apprentices to your videos.

5:37 One thing I found is it's pretty bad practice to leave a cable on the edge of the tray like that. Yes, this is armoured, it's no issue at all, everything is grounded to hell and back there but as the cable goes through heat cycles and moves just a tad bit, over the years it will shear clear through the outer sheath. I had ran into issues with control cables tying the 24V to ground and causing problems because of exactly this. there were a few cases of bangs as well when the cable wasn't armoured, just YSLY or H05VV. Also there are plants that mandate the use of edge protectors on every tray there is because of these incidents. Even the covers. There's a plant in my city where I left a good 30 meters of the stuff already... Also it's kind of odd to me that the tray goes straight to the floor when you are connecting sideways from it, was it a previous install? Edit: Man, I forgot the most important part, the compliment for a good job. I wish more people would work like you do...

I appreciate this type of video, knowing how much things are worth is invaluable sometimes. That’s more than I would have guessed for that particular size cable so definitely would have undercharged if I was asked although I’m a spark not a jointer so have no idea the going rates for your work. Do you have a set cost per cable size? I imagine you’re going to charge considerably more for say a 4core 240

@tonyskilbeck8663 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, the cost goes up the bigger the cable gets, although prices do change when FP cables are used as they are full of fibre glass paper. They take longer to prepare.

You should use a Knipex plier wrench, or other paralel jaws plier, when you tied glands. Many clients don t accept scratches on stainless steel or bronze glands hexagons surfaces. Protection glasses are not useful only you drill something. The end of a tensioned wire anytime can release straight to your eyes.

@@Walktheline1991 My bad! I work in petrochemical industry and most of glands are from stainless steel (CMP) and bronze (Hawke).
