I love being an electrician and the local I am in does all kinds of commercial and industrial work...Then, I get to do some residential on my own (and was doing before I got into the union)...NEVER a dull moment! crazy how you do all this yourself! All the contractors I work for would at LEAST have two workers on the job, a JW and an apprentice! Right on! You're a beast man! Hope to get to your level some day!
Im starting my first day as an apprentice electrician in the next few days so these videos are very entertaining so far. I have a long time before I'm where you're at but so far it seems like an amazing trade. Hope all is well and keep up the great work!
Thanks for the videos! I got a call about industrial work so I was trying to see what this "industrial" stuff was all about and bam I run into your channel. Definitely going to have to take them up on the offer
Hey Alex I’m also soon going to be a electrician helper can you give me a example of what he has you doing first 2 months please It would help me allot
@@MoneyL-sl4ej I’m 4ish years in now doing industrial work ... my first day with a electrical conveyor company they had me pre-fabbing VFD panels to floor mounted brackets , and drilling holes and installing wire pulling bodies . After a month or so I started to run pipe
Very nice to see you young guys getting into the electrical trade. Been in it myself for 35 yrs and have never seen the lack of young people wanting to work or learn a trade before. We are dinosaurs. Good job!
problem isnt "young people not wanting to work anymore" no one wants to hire or appropriately train new apprentices. im an apprentice with no expirience and have tried applying everywhere with whatever company i can find i did this for a year and havent heard anything. i also go to a vocational school with a NCCER approved program and still nothing, and on top of that there are no benefits to start off and the pay starts off most of the time less than if i where to go work at McDs, most of the time these small shops dont even care about safety either so thats another big issue to worry about. its also a lack of you dinosaurs acting and wanting to treat apprentices like shit while they bust their ass. The work culture around trades has to change and fortunately for the most part it is and its because a lot of older people are dying off not because you dinosaurs are actively changing your ways. there are so many apprentices out there young and old in every craft and there really isnt a work shortage of trades people theres only a shortage of trades people not ignorant enough to work for 15-20hr getting yelled at by an alcoholic lead craftsman thats emotionally still a little child when his patience runs thin. its not on us young people that are the problem its for sure the older generation and the way things are being ran in these fields.
Great video brother keep uploading, currently in the electrical trade as a residential apprentice any advice for some one that has 2 years in but wants to become a industrial electrician?
What little tool apron is that?? Thought you had a veto but I guess it makes sense to have a tool pouch/apron since you’ll be up on a ladder most of the day
I did notice, in the first part, you were using set screw couplings and connectors and in part 2 (here) you are using compression? Is it just what you had available, laying around and wanted to use it up, Or do the plans spec connectors up on the I-beams and compression in that fenced in cage?
I’m currently in trade school , applying as electrical maintenance , but I’m hearing i won’t accumulate hours to become a journeyman. When I leave trade school I will leave with 700 hours. So how does it work building hours up if there is no master electrician on the job site?
Nice to someone else that doesn't spin the wire around in the strippers when removing insulation. It's amazing how many I see in the field doing that crap and with stranded wire at that.
My only real question is why did you wire the lights up there why didn't you just have a whip on it before you brought it up I'd rather do it on the floor than do it in the air me personally
Practice and patience. I have been doing it for 30yrs and it took a while to get good at it. Don't give up you will get it. There is a lot of videos out there to watch. Good luck.
Thanks for the videos keep em coming. I’m enrolled in the electrical trade right now wanting to become an industrial electrician.
A bro you can definitely do it. Endure through the hard times an have fun.
God Bless I needed to hear the first several seconds of this video. I love your videos! Thank you for them!

@@ConductorWeHaveAProblemjust by the way you’re complaining I wouldn’t hire you either
Jim R I listen to him all the time
I don't care that there wasn't a lot of footage in PT 1 it was still excellent
Thanks for the great content as always. The finished product was perfect. keep up the great work. Let's get to 500 subscribers Lets Go E-Team!!!
First time for everything never seen a conduit strap the a fence.
enjoying your videos. Keep posting!
Thanks Chino I will. Thanks for posting!!!
Awesome video, keep up the good work!
Could you make video on how to bend conduit thanks appreciate your content
I did check some newer videos.
He managed to get 27 minutes inside a factory, nice!
Good job!!!👏👏👏
Nice work. 👍
Use a dewalt 8 volt screwdriver DCF682N1 as a reamer.
Great video brother keep uploading,
currently in the electrical trade as a residential apprentice any advice for some one that has 2 years in but wants to become a industrial electrician?
Apply for industrial electrician jobs
@@unitedtradesmanacademy1894 ok thanks for replying, even if I don't have industrial experience still apply? ok that's what im going to do then
What little tool apron is that?? Thought you had a veto but I guess it makes sense to have a tool pouch/apron since you’ll be up on a ladder most of the day
This the Klein 27 pocket dual tool pouch.
Make a habit of using the same tool without switching until the next step.
If I would have remembered to use self tappers to hang my Jboxes I probably would have had some conduit in the air.
Earth bonding as for extraneous containment
Two words: rea mer
That’s a slick belt/apron. What flavor / brand is it?
I did notice, in the first part, you were using set screw couplings and connectors and in part 2 (here) you are using compression? Is it just what you had available, laying around and wanted to use it up, Or do the plans spec connectors up on the I-beams and compression in that fenced in cage?
Great question actually I don't remember why I switched.
I’m currently in trade school , applying as electrical maintenance , but I’m hearing i won’t accumulate hours to become a journeyman. When I leave trade school I will leave with 700 hours. So how does it work building hours up if there is no master electrician on the job site?
Nice job Questions how would you price a job like that?
Good question, that would have to be another video. Can't type that.
Black goes for gold and white goes for silver
Nice to someone else that doesn't spin the wire around in the strippers when removing insulation. It's amazing how many I see in the field doing that crap and with stranded wire at that.
Who were you listening to at the beginning of this video?
Jim Rohn
Hello, do you always work alone? Thank you
No someone was with me in this video watch till the end. Plus i don't film people out of respect for them.
My only real question is why did you wire the lights up there why didn't you just have a whip on it before you brought it up I'd rather do it on the floor than do it in the air me personally
What are you using for the strapping on the circle fence bar?
Oh I see now. Pipe hangars, nice 👍

How you get that good a bending conduit struggling rn my bro?
Practice and patience. I have been doing it for 30yrs and it took a while to get good at it. Don't give up you will get it. There is a lot of videos out there to watch. Good luck.
Bro get a Polyester fish tape you’ll never go back the a metal fish tape trust me.
I have one only use it when going into live panels.
@@unitedtradesmanacademy1894 I’m not talking about fiberglass fish tape. Polyester is where it’s at. I use it for every run so smooth trust me.
