Having fun with a new GoPro Just another day at work... Have a lot of opportunity to film short clips of industry and trade related footage, let me know if you guys enjoy these and ill keep making them.
I'm an electrician in the US Navy and it's really interesting to see how similar yet different our jobs are. You seem to be a lot more hands-on/constructing and running tons of brand new stuff. While we mostly maintain what's currently on the ship and occasionally construct/run new cable. Also interesting to see just how different junction boxes and distribution boxes are in the civilian side vs. on a warship. Awesome video! Makes me want to continue being an electrician once I get out!
What I love about being a electrician is the money is great and it’s like a golden bullet in the job market. They ALWAYS need electricians .ALWAYS it’s never to late either. Best career I ever did!
@@moatzart3115 I've read that on average it's like 50k a year but near the end some can expect 80k to over 100k. It's really a variable thing but relative to other skilled trades it's a fine career path. Not as strenuous as HVAC, plumbing or carpentry.
Ahh, our good ol’ electrician trade. A place where everybody is a master electrician and everybody else’s work is defective and full of code violations except ours. Solid job there friend, very easy and quick work getting those feeds in 👍🏻
One thing the bugs me about the trade. I'm a new journey person and lots of electricians like to try and act like they know so much more than the previous electrician.. if it works and isn't a safety hazard who cares.. lol
I did more digging than he did . Can I work through lunch and leave early to pick up my kids from daycare? Can I get a ride . Can I borrow some money He's always drunk Fuk that shit , I'm glad it's over .
Nice video. No verbal vomit on how and why. Just run the protect and explain along the way. I find it so much more easier at learning shit when I see it how everything comes together in the finished product then fill in the details after.
Love your videos man. Theres literally no other youtubers, even the big channels, that makes videos like yours. I like seeing how you actually do a job from start to finish
I'm a student at a school that teaches an electrical course and I wouldnt mind watching you work, it would be really interesting and great additional learning. Now that I learned what junction boxes are for
This is a dream job, he probably dreams about job sites this easy. I've seen an electrician cursing his lungs out once at a warehouse he was so pissed off, not to mention I almost accidentally killed one when I crashed into his lift backing out with my forklift. Guy was working on the ceiling and had the lift extended all the way (3 stories). I don't think it's all this glamorous but out of all the other trades this is definitely the least hard on the body.
(from Australia) love watching the yanks work, so precise and always have the best tools for the job. Even torque test. In Australia, we just slap things in and tighten it by hand until we think its enough haha
I really aprricate this video, ive been looking everywhere for videos that show what its like to do electrification work but theyer all talk and no show. This help alot
15 and this is what I plan on doing . Decided to start early and begin learning on my own time so when the day comes , going through my apprenticeship will be easier. Nice video man :)
Sunrise Surprise learn how to read schematics and the symbols for electrical schematics. Then learn what they mean and how they work (like what a diode is or difference in AC and DC etc). I use it daily. It can really be useful even in day to day life if you like repairing or fixing electric stuff. Best of luck. Working with electricity is interesting.
Lawl I love how you didn't show you pulling the wire with the fish tape, if it were me and I had to pull one at a time, the video would just consist of every bad word ever haha. Good vibeo man
Great stuff, however is there a reason why you didn't just pre drill 4 1/4 holes in the pull box and run a 3/16 concrete bit to install 5/16 blue tap cons? Would've saved a ton of time IMO
i see a lot of people saying they wish there was more youtubers that were electricians, so they could post work vlogs like this, maybe this is my calling when i become an electrician 👀👀
Nice work brother. Electrical construction is one of the most satisfying part of being an electrician...second to knowing that your hard work makes peoples lives easier and safer. I know thats what keeps me going day in and day out. Peace and be safe. Over and out.
@@liljay1349 that's what our instructor told us he is a master electrician has his own company that probably had something to do with It since we were learning under him and i live in texas and i know a guy graduated from here started off 20 something and apparantly my home boy starting off at 30 just to install doorbells and switches idek how man crazy
Hand a 20 year master electrician a 1/2inch lock ring and tell em to put put it on a 3 inch single gain metal box. Kick back and enjoy the show lol. Nice work man🍻
Hey nice work nice vid. Forget the haters and their “code violations” keep working and if you wouldn’t mind hooking me up with a pair of those Torque Channel locks that would be sweet cause I’ve never seen them before what was that setting 2 and a half turns
Assuming he just mounted the box and ran the wires he had floating free. It shouldn’t have taken more than an hour or two depending on minor stuff. But that’s what I got while scheming through some parts. I assume he skipped some of the boring stuff he was doing in there. Just my guess tho.
Hi dude! I'm a Swedish electrician and on newer instalations in Swe we have live 1, 2 and 3. Neutral and protective earth. In your clip I only saw 3 black wires and a green smaller one. Can you give some info about your setup
Cons are crawling around in crawl spaces and attics. Lots of pros to list but those cons are too much for some people. I have 15 months in and what's nice about where I live is we have off grid customers who want solar. It's a very versatile skill set that can take you many directions. I've been studying up on all things electrical/power. Pretty neat-O 🤓
I'm apprenticing and doing my classroom training right now. You can't start a business until you've become a master electrician. Basically you start as an apprentice for a few years, eventually pass your exams to become officially licensed as a journeyman. This just means you can now work by yourself without supervision. The next step is a master electrician. That's when you can legally start a business. It really depends on how motivated you are but it's going to be close to 10 years before most can do that. Some might be able to do it in 8 or less but that's not very common. There's A LOT to learn. Today and tomorrow's electricians have to keep up with new tech and because there is so much of it nowadays, it means you have the option to go into whatever electrical field interests you. Some just fix and flip houses, some work on commercial properties, some in hospitals (crazy high paying electrical jobs since you can't de-energize the circuits), or you could work in an r&d lab wiring up tech components for big shots, or even wire up spaceships for nasa. Of course additional training would be needed depending on the environment you work in but honestly the sky is the limit. Once you understand how to harness and use electricity the principles stay the same.
thinking about becoming an electrician but i got major social anxiety. could anyone tell me if you work alone most of the time like in the video? or will have to converse in some small talk🙄 lol thanks
