Installing some new sign lights (and our new unit tour) | Thomas Nagy 

This is crazy....Nagy is taking the London by storm👍 remember first episodes, and his old Renault van...and still that episode where he washed his van and talk about signed for bankruptcy.....look now Tom....wish you all the best from the start of your channel man you really deserve it

Seen multi million pound company’s not making the same sort of effort one man is making to create a enjoyable workplace. Credit to you Tom, as long as you have the mindset you do, you’ll only keep growing! Buzzin to see it happen for you

😂 this guy has just ruined some sparks on RU-vid that thought they was smashing it, this fellas got a lockup the size of Tesco 😂😂

Nick Bundy: I got a unit Thomas Nagy: Hold my beer 😮😮😮

Bloody hell not watched the vlogs for a while and Tom's gone all Charlie Mullins, last time I watched he was scratching his own balls now he's got a dedicated team for that.

You've done fantastic there Tom. Like everyone else was wondering what was going on with the lack of vlogs.. now we know. Who are the lads you have working with you now? Still no mention of Naomi... Am guessing she no longer works for you??? From where your vlog was with you at the carwash telling us your story and how you ended up back as a sole trader you've done really well!! Look forward to seeing more as time goes on.

That face when the lights failed was priceless!

If you are going to make a tray in the middle of the bucket put a magnet tray for screws or for tools that way nothing can fall off

Honestly.. made my night bud! Im an Electrician myself and Watched you from the very beginning, literally from the very first upload. You've always continued to push yourself, work hard, bring quality workmanship time after time and most of all stay humble whilst doing so. Top Guy! Congrats mate 🤙

Buzzing to see the progress, not many people are capable of pulling of all that growth in a company so mega to see a fellow sparks doing it 👌👌👌

Instead of cabinets, which need to be unloaded, why not a bin/box that can just be put in the van.

18:12 lol that SWAT raid hahaha

For these lifts, if you lean over and manage fall out the basket somehow, it's going to be a lot easier to grab onto the basket and pull yourself back in, you can't go very far if the length of the lanyard is correct. If you have a shock absorbing that'll drop a few feet and you'll be stuck hanging out of reach of anything. The fall won't kill you, but suspension trauma can cost limbs or life.

Tom so pleased for you with the unit and the business. At some point you should also think long-term about the wholesale selling side of the business. I am sure when you have both sides of the business covered you can do a better job than the bigger boys. Yes the money will be nice as a reward for the hard work but that will never be satisfying for the soul. Just doing interesting work and enjoying it, being relevant and being in the moment and cultivating relationships with those that work with you and for you will be the game changer.

The shorter harness attachment is also to prevent you climbing out, if you fall with one of the longer ones attached you could potentially tip the machine - or so I was told on a training course many years ago. Not sure myself

I'm grinning like the Cheshire cat and wish u all the success Loved your programming for a long time ☕☺️

Chuffed for you mate, worked hard and its paying off.

the reason for the rope deal is in the event something unintended happens, say your working on a roadway in the bucket and somebody bumps into your van. its a just in case deal. i think personally the stretchy kind would still save your life, but you may end up hanging by your harness on the outside of the bucket.

Welcome to Nagy Tower

Wow, I've virtually watched your videos since you started uploading content on here. Sir, I doff my cap off to you, where you began from as a one man band to expanding into this, you have come far. It has been a pleasure watching how you have gone about this and I wish you, your team all very best for your future endeavours.

Tom, the lanyards you’re using are work restraint, your camera guy has a fall arrest. Different uses. You should both have a work restraint type in any MEWP. Fall arrest should only be used when preventing a fall isn’t possible, thus you minimise the risk of injury by absorbing the energy during the fall.

I’ve come and gone with your channel for a couple of years. I’m not even in a trade but I’m totally delighted for you. You seem like a genuine, very knowledgeable and nice guy. Good luck to you and your business.

That delivery driver has made my day

Excellent Tom, you have done so well for yourself since starting out.

Absoloutely nailing it. Such a good boss and the perfect outlook on how to treat team members.

You have checked the light fittings are earthed? Big Clive has found many of them aren't The earth wire is there but not connected

When up in the bucket use a magnetic parts tray/dish so screws ect stick to it.

In a MEWP you should wear a fall restraint lanyard (fixed rope) the idea is to try to reduce your chances of falling out. If you use a stretchy fall arrest you will either hit the ground before it stops you or the shock loading of it arresting your fall will topple the MEWP. Also, with a fall restraint lanyard you don’t need a rescue plan (I.e you shouldn’t be able to fall out) which is better for lone working (I would never let someone use a MEWP alone if possible)

“What the mind can imagine it can achieve” - well done mate!

London is obviously another world, to finance all that on the output of three sparks.

Balling Tom. Love it, well done

I used to work as a steel climber erecting stages before I became a spark, so I used to climb with those scaff hooks all day. The things we used to be told were that if you had a ripper, long tails or stretchy tails were that you werent protected at lower heights as your protection would stretch further before it caught you, so you'd 'deck out' or in our case, if you are higher up, hit a part of the structure beneath you before the catch was finished. That being said, the stretchy ones would smooth out the catch so the forces your body were exerted to as your tails went tight was lower as it decelerates you more gently, whereas a rope can shock you with a greater peak force, which is entirely capable of exceeding a safe level in a short fall if you stop rapidly. So I guess it's horses for courses. I always climbed with 2 hooks on a ripper and made sure I was using hooks that were rated for crossloading and stuff as those hooks, the cheap ones anyway, are really not rated for small eyelets or cross loading, so it's always worth digging in to your pocket for the stronger ones that are ANSI rated, you can feel it in the hook when you have one of each in your hand. They're heavier but if theyre on the structure, you don't really notice. I should note that this is just info I've been given or learned from being a climber. I've never actually experienced a fall in industry on this specific kit, nor have I witnessed one, thank fuck.

The stretchy ones are designed for fall arrest, not fall prevention. They are better suited to scaffold.

That’s brilliant Tom, I did all of that in a much smaller way and think fantastic what you’re upto there. Full of admiration for you, and sincerely hope it all works for you. I was too much of a control freak to make it work I’m afraid.

Fair play to you Tom.Ive watched your channel from the start and really impressed by what you achieved.All the best for the future.

All I can say is CONGRATULATIONS! So impressive what you have been able to accomplish - the space looks amazing!

Amazing to see how far you’ve come in the past few years, think it’s a real testament to your attitude and ability to lead a team. You said back in your car wash vlog “it’s not about the shit that happens to you it’s about how you deal with it”, these are the results 👏🏻

Awesome update, what a great unit! You have been working solid. A lot of companies don’t like stock because it’s bad for the balance sheet, but in reality it makes you far more money because you are quicker! And given the way prices are rising that shelf of cable is probably worth double what you paid for it!

Good to see you are still expanding. Long time subscriber who remembers you on your own in your own van with no help......

I've been following you for a while now - it's very cool seeing your business progress - I'm pleased for you. The office unit setup looks very nice indeed.

I have been watching you for a while now. You have worked hard on developing your business. Sir I salute you.

Good job and congratulations.

Super content, great to see such positive workplace and a positive vibe from the top down. Well done!

Really great to see a growing business built on hard work and quality of work …congratulations

You know you have made it when a sign with just "your name" is enough to explain what you do

What’s happened to Naomi??

I remember watching your first videos. Now look what you have. Good stuff Nagy. I feel like a proud Dad 😂😂😂😂.

Stretchy one is better than the people who use a 6m arrestor 3m off the ground. 😂

You nailed it, mate! Well done. Best spark on youtube, and for myself best motivational speaker. Started a part time business as a self-empl. spark ( full time engineer in power systems) . From now, whenever I'm gonna wake up in the morning whishing half an hour of additional sleep, I'll remember that I want a cherry picker and a storage unit for myself too. I'll grab a coffee, jump in my mighty Ford and go to work. Keep un the good work, Tom! Greetings from Romania.

Can’t believe all the progress , especially if you compare to when you originally started and we were watching you house bash with the trusty old van, your an inspiration Tom, well done mate , keep smashing !

That unit is just plain awesome looking.

Your unit is ace and super organized well done.

The lights will last until the first frost then the one hung lo brand electrolytics will freeze and burst. CPC sell some cheap led floods that are not too bad.

nice to see you doing well

Nick watching this video thinking ffs 😂😂😂

Happy you're getting where you want to be pal. Always a pleasure watching your videos.

good on you well done to go so far what a great boss

You're a good guy Thomas. DOn't let anybody tell you otherwise. Nice AvE reference too.

Good to see your success 👍 You finally got a unit and a really decent size one also 👌 I'm looking forward to the future content

Congrats

The reason they're not fans of stretchy lanyards are that if you were to fall out of the bucket at a lower height, you may hit the ground before it has fully extended - therefor you going splat :)

Good luck Tom with the new unit 👍

Hi Thomas. I can’t believe how far you’ve come since your first video 😀 It’s nice seeing someone look after their staff 👍🏻

This is seriously impressive Tom really happy for you I know you'll go from strength to strength - living the dream. It's really good to see you wanting to make a good environment for your employees.

It's important to look how far you have come compared to 3 / 4 years ago. You should be proud of yourself, so glad you're doing well. Your set up is the epitome of efficiency. I cannot imagine what your daily nett running costs are. Hopefully it's all for a creamy contract! Good luck

6 weeks, 3 days and 7 hours 53 seconds. Well done on all the upgrades dude. :)

On my MEWP course we were told to use harness lanyards that where adjustable that you shortened to their shortest length while carrying out work. Not to use fall arrest lanyards as they normally deploy after you’ve hit the deck if working at a low height. Sensibly told not to clip on if bucket was over a body of water and wear a life jacket instead. Also to get a anemometer to make sure MEWP wasn’t working outside it’s limits for wind.

It's looking amazing. 👏👏👏👏👏

I did my harness inspection course last year and the IPAF rule is that you should only use shock absorbing lanyards where they are adjusted to such a way that they will still act as a restraint without deploying shock absorption. The reason from what i remember (may be wrong) is because of the balance of the extending boom, you are more likely to offset balance if shock absorbers deploy and let you out of the basket. In a scissor lift there is no need for fall arrest at all, only in booms

Thats some unit. Must give you the odd sleepless night with the monthly bills. Fair play to you.

Glad to see you up and around again. Looking forward to seeing more of your (sparkling) sparkie adventures.

Looks a nice place, but no mention of "Nom Nom"?

Well done Thomas, I like to see people doing well in life. I watched one of your uploads, of you washing your van and how you struggled. I was in the same way. I even considered going back to work for an employer. Once again well done

Saw one of the vans the other day, with all the chevrons. Thought highway work would be coming! Fair play on the unit. Things are growing well!

Meant to add, love the new unit and your making it a workplace where people want to come in and work/relax 👍

What you done with Nom Nom?

Tom: talks about something.. a few seconds later Tom: oh yeah, you havent seen that... repeat a few times

Where is nomnom?

Good work mate. Most sparks only dream of having a setup as big as what you now have

Looks like a lot of hard work from a 1 man opp to a good sized firm with employees and plant and a HQ....Fairplay Tom hope you get there to the level you desire ..very inspiring..👌

It's pretty crazy to see the transformation of this channel and business over the years

Congratulations Tom!!!

Well done Tom and well deserved. It shows that hard work and commitment brings results. Although it shows by the changing colour of your hair, it's not easy and can be stressful. 😉

NEED MORE CONTENT i've re-watched all the old videos again

Wow. Great to see your progress. The logic of everything in that unit reflects your way of working. Look forward to seeing all that backlog of videos.

It’s like watching an Ave video with a chintzy treat especial

Actually love when you post a new video. Starting my apprenticeship in September and happy to say you got me interested in the trade!

Next Video without NomNom :-( PLEASE just TELL US, what has happened!!!

Yes!!! He’s back! This is the Nagy we love to watch! Glad to see a video that’s like your old stuff! From the broken down originally van to a unit that would swallow Bundy’s and just scare the living piss out of Jordan’s!!!! Love it!

Congratulations Tom you deserve it with the graft you have put in

Great video, you have been busy! Those LED floods might be better than you think. Has 30 off 1W chips in series+parallel strings - dead simple no driver module. Was running about a dozen of the 100W version for 3 months outside this winter for temporary floodlighting. No fails of lights but a couple not as waterproof as sold! Can’t be dismantled from what I can see, but can carefully drill a drain hole, dry out and reseal properly.

Hahah, the bit with the delivery man was funny! The new logo sign looks fantastic :))

Your lucky he didn't drop the sign on your van.The new place is looking excellent , coming along nicely. With the stock, you might be better off with a tablet that feeds live information on booked equipment to the office PC. Then you can set up minimum stock level with minimum order numbers and should you want it, live automatic ordering.

Brilliant Tom. You've come a long way in a short time. I've watched your videos from the beginning . Lovely to see the progress .

Well you have been a busy boy Tom. Giving birth to all that and keeping us all in the dark. Looking good though I would even attempt to work out the cost of that lot. As for the 30watt led lights we all know they will last until winter and on the coldest wettest snowiest day they will give up the ghost causing a short circuit and will have to be repaired straight away obviously not by you. But saying that it's great to see you back on the tube and really pleased that thing are working out for you.

always a worry when you commit to something big like this but you'll wonder how you managed before, as the saying goes you have to speculate to accumulate, which you will do, good luck to you, i have run my electrical business for over 30 years and watching your videos always teaches me something, you never stop learning !

Very nice man, very nice indeed!

Very nice set up Tom and best of luck. As for the dodgy photocell, I've seen that before. My first job as an apprentice sparks was on the Living Bridge here in Ireland a long time ago. One cheap photocell doing hundreds of lights for a massively expensive art piece! Was a disaster at the start!

from one man and one van to your name on a building love to see it wish you the best

Hard work really does pay off. Massive well done!
