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.
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
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 .
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
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.
(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
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 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
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
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 👀👀
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 🤓
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.
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
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
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🍻
Hello guys i wanted to study 1 year Electrician diploma in trade school but i don't know after that where should i start work and what's the starting wage for entry level job..? Anyone can suggest me please. Thank you☺

Being an Electrician is good if you don't mind the physical aspects of it. I prefer comfy office jobs.

@@Migwelp so much ? In Germany it isn't so much. Maybe 28k per year without taxes and with maybe the half
Dude this is the kind of videos I’ve been trying to find! Hope you start making videos again
Dad to the bone right
No one has electrician videos there’s a lot of us I don’t get it
Right? Its hard to find raw on job footage of the trade.

This slow, methodical work seems right up my ally! I could totally see myself doing this for a living.
Not always slow paced
It’s not slow pace. It methodical, but in this trade you will always be pushed to go faster.
Everyone thinks it's so easy
It's not slow just slowed down
It's decent money and really easy to get hired.
I would love to work like this, early beautiful morning doing electrical work.

Nothing like having your cuts sit perfectly when you mount it. 😩🙌

I fuckin love Australia
This was the video that inspired me to become an electrician
Good for you man! Rn I'm in high school and considering a trade instead of thousands in debt thru college. What do you think so far?
How’s it going?
That’s amazing

Great video 👍🏻 love to see more. I’m a Second Year Apprentice and I’m trying to soak up as much of this stuff as possible.
For how long are you going to be an apprentice?
Looks like you need to buy some Allen sockets my man
Did you like the way he took it to the specs that the manufacturer said?
Great Job brother! Awesome video! Keep on trucking, your killing it man!
Woah those gates looked like the entrance to heaven. Would love to live at a place like that.
So is this usually what residential usually is ? seems nice having your own work space
It's great to see the tools and work methods are somewhat the same but somewhat totally different to how we do it in Germany :D
A torque wrench for the lug and grounding bushing for the flex would be great. Its looks pretty solid work though

Currently an apprentice. Im bending pipe right now and i can’t wait to get out to the field. I LOVE this career

Dude (Moonlight by Tribal Seed) amazing song!!!!
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 👀👀
Why the extra box? Couldn't you bring the wires directly to the panel?
Just curious about Box fill or capacity???with that size wire?
do more of this pls you're awesome
What tool is the burgundy and yellow cutter thats sitting on top of ur knipex linemans on the box
much respect bro. A lot of guys put videos up but they do not show from beginning to the end
bumping tribal seeds on the job, a man of good taste
Great video my man! I've been wanting to do some work videos here on my channel also, but I keep forgetting to send my go pro off for repair.
I'd like to see more videos of work in progress like this
Where the hell is that. Its beautiful
Before Corona when life was normal
This actually looks pretty cool.
No expansion joint ?
Please make more I enjoy it haha
Is that feeder have the propper backfill and is it sch 80?
Great video. Please post some more videos.
Me sorprenden los tableros residenciales afuera
Great video
Good job by yourself. You ground j-box and use grounding bushing on 2”?
Oh! I have to stop watching JBOX SIZING!
From Philippines, how to apply Electrician there in your country?
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
Dont call them black call the hots
Why not sweep right into panel without junction box? Just curious, not saying you are wrong
Much enjoyed, do more!
Pretty much as I would have done it even the Spotify playlist
*Dumps bags on work table*
Subtitles: Music plays
I’m looking forward to episode 2 🤞
If your still making videos could you please keep everything at real time speeds? I missed a lot of your technique.
I’m terrified of airplanes. I would never get on one of those things 😱
I'm really interested in becoming an electrician and I'm graduating HighSchool soon any pointers and what are the pros and cons
Go for it man probably will be the best decision you will ever make.
Apply at you local union and see if you’ll get lucky

this a good content bro. keep adding it your channel will grow faster than you know.
Really nice video keep the great job!
Where’s episode 2?
I don’t see many women commenting on this or any at all. I’m a woman and I’m interested in the field, trying to get in, any tips?

Nice work just one question, why no expansion fitting coming from underground?
Maybe cuz it's not a fire hazard area..
You don't need an expansion fitting unless you have 100' or more of PVC conduit in one straight run.
Why is the meter so low. Shouldn't it b 60 inches off ground 2 center. Wht state is this. I'm n Texas. Jst curious
48-60 in FL
Great video!!! Thanks!
iration, great band 👍🏼
Yo! Is that a SLO Circuits logo I see? If so, how do you like being an electrician in our area? I'm considering pivoting into the field.
Great video nice tools and setups
Some great content man, try and keep it going
How long did this take you? Particularly what you showed in the video.

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.
Damn I wish I could work that fast...
I was your 1000th subsciber
At 6:43 what is that tool called? it resembles a clamp amp meter, but with a pointy metal tip
It measures ohms, amps, and volts.
@@juve3030 yes, but what's the name of it so I could buy it on Lowe's or home depot
Fluke electrical tester.
Do you have team or u work alone?

Do you think wireless electrical connection will ever replace wired electrical connection?
Fuck yeah dude that was dope
Did you just ROLL down your window? Thats like seeing a payphone.
Thanks, great video
Why wouldn't you pull the wire after you installed the J-box?
Bc the box gets in your way as your pulling
Pull the box off the wall.
Be interesting to see your updated tech lc
Nalu Rash Working on getting it posted
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
If you become a union apprentice you'll def have to take class and learn from journeymen on the job for a while.
I love it
I demand more videos!
Who is more qualify... An electrical technician or an electrician?
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
You are missing out on a huge income opportunity by not making more videos. Great sense of production.
Goooooooooool from Brazil
The best job electrical
Ever heard of Tapcons ?
Is 32 too late to start as an apprentice? My local junior college has free tution for Electrician classes

It’s not easy, but have done it plenty of times doing commercial.
Great video mate
Use carflex to the panel next time instead of flex them cables will glide in that panel
Great video! But way too idealistic of a situation (Perfect day...newer house...recent service...)
Don't these trucks every get robbed from? We could never use these in England.
What is the j- box for ?
Obviously to protect the wiring but it's kinda weird like a full conduit run could've worked better but then would be harder to fit off
I believe your junction box is undersized according to the NEC
Need to learn how to cinch a feeder I reckon if you're using extra conduit to get slack.
Good stuff man
