- Join us as we set out to design and install a 3 phase electrical and mechanical plantroom inside this awesome smart home! We use Google sketchup, sketchup is a CAD software made for easily producing 3D designs.
It’s an emotional journey through time, space, and the electrical engineering world!!!
Thanks for watching!

Work smart not hard, learning new skills is worth it. Being proud of your work is so satisfying.
I agree!
Hands down best electrical / travel channel / vlog or engineering channel on UA-cam. Absolutely great work with Ted too, hope he knows how lucky he is to have you 🙏🏼
Thanks man!
Well done Cory. I've Been a sparky for 15 years and i really like your style. A classy, tidy tradesmen. I must applaud the way you treat your apprentice. Respect and encouragement plain to see. Should be the norm of course but we know what it can be like.Your a credit to this industry. Give yourself a pat on the back
Thanks 👍. Really appreciate the comment 😎
25% of attitude, 25% of pride, 25% of skill, 25% of knowledge makes you 100% Pringle!
🤣👍🏼
Cory, never change or compromise on your quality. It’s beautiful to see a caring craftsman and I’d pay for that 10x over. So sad there are so few of you guys left.Profit is important but what you lose in £’s today by doing things right, will payback 100x fold in the future I promise. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks mate! I really appreciate that
nice to see someone take pride in their work. great video 2x👍
I was a panel wirer for years and was OCD about my work too everything had to work and look right.
Thanks' for supporting men's mental health charities,
My cousin sadly took his life, just 20 and we still have no idea why.
Thanks Allan! I’m so sorry to hear about your cousin, it’s way too common nowadays 😩. Gotta learn it’s good to open up!
@@corymac Thanks. I thought therapy was for other people. Until that happened. I went twice a week for about 6 months. Now I can face most things head on. Talking works wonders.
Plant room, its a cupboard with a DB in it, plant rooms have boilers in them the size of cars, primary & secondary pump sets, pressurisation units blah, blah, blah. Get the boy a jigsaw for cutting trunking, save his wrists & alot of time & show him how to use a pair of grips properly.
Can't remember how many
plant room installs I've done but I can remember never using a laptop to plan them. Perimeter trunking with conduits coming off, hit all points on the panel drawing... Laptop, what ever next. Slot & paxoline your next D.B? Edit: keep up the good work. Hahaha
😂👍🏼 - Respect man, that’s cool! I’ve done a few of those too! This is a nice simple room to teach on 😄. The other room will have a lot of heating controls and bits n pieces which are great for beginners learning BMS
@@corymac I probably sounded like a know it all twat Cory, your a pro mate & take pride in your work. Fairplay
Nice seeing the filing of the rough edges in the metal trunking! I'm a bit late to this video but have you looked into using a plumber's deburring tool to potentially achieve the same thing a little quicker? The file still would be good to get any remaining sharp edges. Keep it up though, love seeing new ways of doing things better.
I have tried them! They’re decent, but I still find the file is best for trunking 😁
Tip I got from Joint Tech Cabling, if you cut the gland shroud slightly too tight, you can usually still get it on if you lay three or so cable ties flat along the cable, into the shroud. They act like a ramp guiding the shroud onto the end of the cable.
Found the clip: ua-cam.com/video/u-jJIB65U1o/v-deo.html
Nice one! Tony’s the man!
👍 for Orbix fixing screws - so much easier to use and looks good. Yes cutting oil for all metalwork but also low speed on the drill to stop overheating the bit. Good work.
Thanks Steve!! 😁👍🏼👍🏼
Another paw-fect video Cory and Ted! What a great project to work on. I've an industrial electrical/electronics/instrumentation/IT background and I really enjoy seeing these. Cheers!
Thanks Jim! 😁😁👍🏼
He seems like a great apprentice, but in fairness your explanation of the process is very good... round of a paws for Corey and your guy Ted. Gonna use google sketch in the future... I work in weighbridge installs so this will help me and site contractors in what I need them to do
Thanks mate!
🐻
An amazing plant room, a privilege to work on. Thanks for showing us all. 👍
Our pleasure!
Great videos. Glad to see that you are training young people. Nowadays is so difficult to find good electrician/teacher to have the time to explain and teach the youngsters.
..Is Cory, Elvis as an electrician?!?
Errr thank you, ah thank you very much
The channel is becoming a masterclass overview.. Fantastic
You are doing great job Ted, and Cory is a great 'on the job' teacher 👍👍
That was a awesome one today can not wait to see more from you.
Thanks Barry!!
I’m building 48v LifeP04 batteries it would be great to see your take on a small off grid home. I think you’d be just the guy to cover it 👊
Great content as always 👍 I would get a deburring tool rather than using a file for sorting out those holes in sheet metal stuff. Way faster and will produce a better result
Good tip!
@@corymac curling off a perfect coil of steel swarf like a pencil sharpener is pure OCD porn too 🥸
Cory mate, noticed you had ted using a file on the holes in the trunking, you should grab a reaming pen milwaukee, bahco, whatever, theyre really quick and nice to use!
Of course! Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼
score the back of the trunking of bend and you I'll have a nice clean fold . when doing swa use a band of tape to give yourself a straight line to follow, ring the bottom of the tape and strip the outer on the top line of tape
Good tip! John Ward teaches it that way too
@@corymac ive been doin bends this way for years and i wernt shown i just evolved different ways to do it
It's great to see you've come so far Cory... never falter and stick to your guns on quality above all else 👌
Fyi instead of using a file on holesawed holes in steel get yourself a deburring tool, Milwaukee do a nice one
Thanks James! Much appreciated 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for making this vlog, and a Merry Christmas.
Thanks Stuart! 😁👍🏼
Congratulations Ted, that was amazing 🤩🤩
😎😎😎🙏🏼
You are the good teacher to an apprentice
Love the saw and laser hack!
I stole it off the internet somewhere I’m sure!
one thing that i would had done is to install a tee couple of tee sections in the trunking, you have limited the 100x100 trunking down to 2 x 40mm holes... no future proof and a complete pain to replace bad cables or add extras.
dont forget end caps on trunking
Great handsaw idea
Sketchup is a great bit of kit. Trimble Inc. acquired SketchUp from Google on June 1, 2012. Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome Phillip! 😁👍🏼
Great video Cory. Looking forward for the next one 👍🏼
Thanks mate!
Cheers Cory, very informative regarding the 3 phase. The cad stuff, cool!
Thanks mate!
How is no one talking about the Nick Bundy cameo at 21:15 ?! 😂
Love your Vibe and love & mostly caring nature .
Thank you so much 😊
Out of all the YT apprentices I think Ted has good potential.
clip @9:45 and come back to it in 20 years when the family has 5 electric cars and a personal mobility quadcopter
Thank you so for your thoughts at beginning of video. I just found out. Worked alongside him on a great project. sad times.
Thank you also for just an outstanding amount of content.. inspired an old sparks
It’s heartbreaking James. Good to have you here
Fantastic video! Gland was neat too. Good job!😊
Thanks Matthew!!
@@corymac Just donated to your friends go fund me. 🫂🫂🫂
congratulations Ted , you and Cory a great explainer
Thanks Phillip!
Nice Video! Ted is learning fast! 💪
Thanks Silvester! He’s doing well!
Try to use prefabricated triangles for your trunking next time... cost a lot but Looks much better, saves time and there is no need to install glands on every crossover... SWA cable should be glanded on your DB entrance, not on some random place of your trunking😉
Personally not a fan of prefab in corners, means you lose that as useable space to take conduits from etc… SWA is almost always taken into trunking on bigger installs, top into trunking, bottom into db. Means no issues with IP
Looks like you have found a very good helper in Ted.
I have indeed!
round of our paws for Ted and Cory
😂
Get yourself some greenlee punches for those holes. Will save you a lot of mess and effort with the file.
I used to have a set, amazing kit!
Another great video Cory. When's the next hour long episode so I can stream it to my TV and get the popcorn in 🤣
Next episode in Berlin! Watch the trailer at the end of this one 😁👍🏼
@@corymac just watched rest of the video. Congrats Ted 🤣
Great team work!! Thumbs up! Cheers!
a round of our paws😂 you were definitely a very unique kid
Yes, unique is one word for it
Another fantastic job, real quality work,
Thanks William! 😁😎
Use the shift button on the push-pull
Cool to know! Thanks
another amazing vid, Cory! Also what a combo with Ted - has he got any socials? The two of you make such a good team!
He’s TT-electrical on Insta! Thanks Samantha
Congratulations 😊
Thanks John! 😁👍🏼
With SWA bigger is easier, ...also, the olive, this is the new cw glands right? LOL... we used to use BW outdoors, that's what the shroud was for... dear lord i am old
Amazing content as always. Keep it up
Thanks Ruben! 😁👍🏼
You’re excellent Cory, love your videos, love your commentaries, love your tuitions, do hope my Son gets a chance to learn from you.
Thanks so much, all the best to your son
@@corymac Cory, thank you for your reply, appreciate it so much, just keep up the good work and your videos commentaries instructions, you’re brilliant.
great video as always Corey, keep up the great work
Thanks mate! 😎👍🏼
Nice video mate, quality work as always 👊🏻
Thanks dude! 😁👍🏼
Fantastic video!!! It’s only a matter of time before you start getting millions of views. You have the same type of personality as Colin Furze
Ahh thanks man! I hope so! ( UA-cam if you’re listening ) 😆
instead of cutting holes why not to uss T-junction with the trunking
Bro why do you use flexible conduit? Try the pvc conduit. Though clean job 👌. Keep it up, 💯. Inspiring
Thanks! PVC is a nightmare in an already built home 😁👍🏼
Cory, I will share with you a valuable piece of information. I assume you use a Stanley branded measuring tape? I see you hold the tape end at one end and then curl over the tape at a corner, for instance. Now watch me blow your mind: Do not bend the tape, use the tape as a part of your measurement. Take a look at the back of the tape and it will say +75mm or something like that. Now, measure the item you want to measure but put the tape in the corner. Read the tape, lets say 400mm, then +75mm for the tape, that's 475mm. I hope you get what I mean. I've used it for years now and it has never let me down.
Someone taught me this already, but old habits die hard 😂. Thanks though!
Corey, please make a video with just your eyes upwards in shot every scene
😂🤣🤣🤣
“Plant Room” is a bit of a stretch. I’ve seen bigger crisp drawers
is the rest of this install on YT? wheres the link?
Google Sketchup's User Interface looks like Paint from Windows 95
True!! 😂 probably why I like it!
You would say it's sketchy?
21:58 _Hmm, Soviet pepper pig!_ Ted is coming along swimmingly, on ya mate :). The loss of your friend Cory is tough, I have been there. Yes guys, talk to someone, there are answers... you are NOT alone.
Thanks mate
Don’t leave the man hanging like that! 😂 (11:05)
😂👍🏼
Still getting younger and younger ;)
When I watch a up to date video you will be old and grey lmaro
Hahaha yes mate!!! You’re going wayyy back when
That's a cool project.
Thanks mate!
Cory, great work, as always. Great video, but when did you start saying 'somethink' a word that doesn't actually exist?
😆😆😆
What tape measure is he using? The dewalt one? Need to get me one
well done Ted look like Corey good to learn off
Thanks! 😁👍🏼
Ted is pretty cute tho ngl. Corey is still a looker in his old age! 😂
😂🤣🤣🤣
Hey Cory awesome video yet again. You are bossing it dude.
QUESTION: What is the marker you used on the trunking at the end? Seen a few use it but don’t know what it is. Cheers
Thanks mate!! That was my pencil marker 😁👍🏼 you’ll find them on tool monster, use my code CORY5!
@@corymac unfortunately it’s about £13 delivery cheapest option for the pencil from Toolmonster so Amazon it is I am afraid. Thanks for letting me know what it was though. Cheers
Still can’t believe Cory left his only son Ruben with Jordan.

Congratulations 👏 nice work guys 🇮🇪😎👏
Thanks Mary! 😁👍🏼
Congratulations Ted
I like watching a few of these channels, but you have to take your hat off to Corey. The quality of the job is the same as a 30 year journey man
Thanks Michael!
?Where do you get those nice 50mm bushing lockrings? Can’t find those anywhere!
Quality work guys and well done Ted. Would you be interested in coming to our place and view the work Ive done as a DIYer in mid Wales. There are reasons why I have taken this route and we could talk about it, and discus my plans for the house, which I would like you to become involcved. Currently we have 4kw Solar array, 5.5kw Hybrid Inverter (setup as a UPS not feed in), 31.5kWh battery storage, which runs our house, 3 x 600w Infared Panels (which I am still installing), an Sunamp UNiQ 9kw water battery for our hot water, 6kw Setec Power Unit which runs our LG 9kw Therma V ASHP, and 2 EV wall chargers. All this and most of the day we are off grid using both solar and cheap renewable energy during the day. Interested?
Great job Ted
there's still something wrong about 'british gas' messing with electricity board stuff
Really nice project
Thanks Martin!
Great video as always 👍
Thanks Bradley 😁👍🏼👍🏼
What work trousers do you use? Been looking for a pair that’ll last, can’t seem to decide 😂
They’re the Blackladder craftsman
@@corymac much appreciated. Good to see you doing well mate 👍
Alright Cory, how you finding the 12v milwaukee gear now transitioning from makita to milwaukee, would like to know if the 12v gear is enough for and electrician when it comes to impact gun and combi drill. Cheers Dan
Hi mate, it’s good for 60% of it, but I find I still sometimes reach for the M18
Good video but firstly I’m not picking faults or having a go but just wanted to ask why you didn’t flange the vertical trunkings into the horizontal header to Maintain earth continuity? Thanks
I suppose thinking about it you have bushed into the db both sides and above so I’ll get my coat! 😂
🧥😁👍🏼😂
For the love of all that's sacred... Please tell us the network side of things you're using, will be decent kit and a structured architecture for the network.
It will be Unifi! 😁👍🏼 - not sure if that meets your standards 😂
My favourite UA-camr😉😉😉😍

Better to use pvc trunking instead of metal
True but this way all the trunking plus cabinet is PE bonded (plus the armoured cable since is glanded and screwed in on the trunking with a locking nut) and in a case of a fire everything is contained instead of PVC who basically will melt and fuel the fire itself.
Am I right Cory? I asked since I'm not totally into the Residential UK norms. More EU, US and CH ones.
Although in commercial and industry all fixtures should be metal, from trunking or conduit to cable racking and everything have to be PE bonded via clamps, and it is that's valid in every single country I made industrial installations/maintenance, and it was a few different ones around the world.
Exactly right mate 😁👍🏼
What he said 👆🏼
@@black.phoenix.
But now a days we have FRLSH PVC trunkings
Nice commercial usage of free home use sketchup.
Glad you like it!
bet the youtube videos are good for the collage portfolio
I hope so!
"Yes" ......this needs to be a meme
🌜16:14 thanks 🌕 ! 🤣
You’re welcome! 😁👍🏼
Free software what is called ?
Teds nickname needs to be cheese for the sake of Cory Mac & Cheese
Hi as an old very old ex - electrician do you Guys still have to buy your own tools ?
Yes, but I work for myself
Get yourself a deburring tool much better than a file and quicker
Nice Video Cory, as per my message on Linkedin don't forget to give me a shout for DIN Rail enclosures for Lutron, KNX etc. happy to help.
Will do mate! Thank you

paxoline on db?
Nope 👎🏼😃 not necessary here. Many ways to skin a cat
