  • I still have a lot of work to do in the house and thought that it would be useful to show the installation of a pair of wall lights.

    Nice to see you! Changing light positions can be tricky...but shut power off and go step by step...it ends up being very satisfying! Lighting can make or break a room.
    Job well done!

    Looks great - Thanks for sharing Peter. That Festool Diamond Cutter looks like a very useful piece if equipment & impressively up to the usual high standards of Festool dust control!

      Hi David, I was careful whilst using it (wearing the mask) but there was no need at all. I could not spot any dust escaping and we had no dust settling anywhere in the room - amazing. Cheers. Peter

    Hi Peter these screwless connectors are brilliant. They come in the form you have for stranded or solid cable and a slightly cheaper and smaller version for solid cable only. I have used them extensively in France and a particular advantage is that they never work loose, unlike the old fashioned choc blocks, and can be concealed in a junction box and left safely in relatively inaccessible places. Mike PS that Festool stone cutter looks fantastic.

      hi Mike, Yes, I love those connectors and I was very lucky to be able to borrow that stone cutter - it really is a great tool. Cheers. Peter

    Hi mate, I really like the way you explain what you are doing. I’m a plasterer and was impressed with that bit of patching that you did. It doesn’t matter how you get there, it’s the end product that matters.
    Ps I subbed after watching your karcher k5 review and demo. Got ours this morning and am really impressed with it so thank you for the review 🙌

      Hi Tim, Thank you on both counts - I am sure that you will have made a better job than me by a long way on that wall and well done on the Karcher. Cheers. Peter

      Hi Christopher, Gosh, we have been busy - the fences were blown down about 3 weeks ago and so many of the routine bits of work have had to slip. It is lovely to get back in front of the camera again and I will soon be back to normal. Cheers. Peter

    Nice job Peter, please swap out that little 2 step stool for one with a top hand rail, that is an accident waiting to happen, tap your foot on the way up and you'll be off in a heartbeat. Also, brass TV socket and brushed ally socket, you savage or is it behind furniture normally? :)

    • @NewBritWorkshop
      @NewBritWorkshop  2 роки тому

      That TV socket was here when we arrived and is yet to be replaced. Cheers. Peter

    Hi Peter, I'm stuck as i want to use the parf guids 8x4 sheet that I have made. Are you contactable by phone? I wish to make the shelves at 225mm but the dogs and other holes are preset in distance.

    Once I get a picture level, I put a lump of BluTak behind it to stop it moving.

      Hi Michael, Brilliant idea - beats nailing it through the frame. Cheers. Peter

    I wanted to see how you did the wiring and you skipped that part. But you keep showing all your tools. I was quite disappointed on having to watch most of the video to find out you didn't show how to do the wiring.

    • @NewBritWorkshop
      @NewBritWorkshop  7 місяців тому

      I am not qualified to either teach or demonstrate wiring in the UK. If you need to be shown how to do it then you need to employ a qualified electrician. Peter

    Why did you change your watch halfway through the video? It went from a seiko or rotary to a plastic 🤔

      I probably had changed some of my clothing as well - videos are not always done in one day. Peter
