It's mad how at 25 and doing plumbing repairs since leaving school I would jump at the opportunity to work alongside you. Your work and character is second to none
im watching you from kenya. i absolutely love your videos!!. im in college taking a plumbing course and i must say, they are very helpful!! hope one day ill be a pro just like you!
Think that toggle on the side on your jigsaw may be the toggle for the pendulum mode maybe? It does more of a rocking motion as opposed to purely vertical. The higher you set it, the quicker it cuts and the lower its set, it takes a bit longer but makes a bit of a neater cut, especially on melamine and verneered stuff. Don't have that model, but mine has something fairly similar :)
Yes it is. Max will make the blade take big sweeping cuts (moving the blade forward as well as up and down) the minimum will just move it up and down for those more delicate of jobs. X
It's a setting for cutting either across the wood grain or with the grain. Cutting across the grain is easy so you set it to minimum movement. Cutting with the grain is harder so you set the blade to oscillate to help you make the cut easier.
I have some fancy air flush cistern and have to replace a few times, ps that lever on the jigsaw is blade throw, how far it oscillates forward and back
Great video. I'm planning on installing a new cistern all by myself 😮😮. The existing cistern has a top double flush. I want to ask; are all standard domestic internal cisterns the same dimensions i.e would any new cistern fit in the cubby ole?
Sorry if someone already answered this, the bit that you don't know what it does is the bit that controls how far forward the blade goes. Lowest setting is usually the one that almost entirely goes just up and down and the max is whatever Bosch can do in terms of up down and a bit of forward and backwards. With brittle materials you want to lower and denser ones can take more of a blade deflection. The deflection of the blade also gives you faster cuts but you can create a right mess of the cut if the blade moves too much forwards and backwards. You should always start with the lowest setting and increase as needed. You know you need to increase if you are having to "push" the saw for it to cut.
This video is really helpful. I hope you don’t mind me asking a Q… We have just had this done with a brand new cistern and toilet pan, but today we’ve noticed water at the bottom of the toilet base again. I think the leak Is from the pipe from the cistern to the loo. Is it just a case of tightening things if there’s a leak? If it’s a brand new toilet and pipe fitting, would it be the rubber seal? You said not to use sealant there but what’s about Plumbers Mait. I’m not sure how to fix it?
How do i go about drilling a hole through a internal wall for pipe to pass through but the the drill body doesn't allow the drill bit to get close enough to the external wall so the spacing is okay for the pipe clips that hold them to the wall.
The "Dividy bit" adds a tilt to the blade, forwards/backwards for more aggressive or less aggressive cut. Honestly? Never felt it make a lick of difference... (It just pushes the little assisting/guide leg forward more.) The only thing that makes a difference is the high end jigsaw and recipsaws' function to constantly rock the blade. Makes it cut twice's fast!
Concealed cisterns are usually a pain to fit as you found with the downpipe! If I do fit an isolator valve I usually put it so it can be accessed through the removable panel otherwise no good in an emergency. Who makes the flexible pipes - they look ideal for sinks if short enough
I agree - no point in the isolator being so low. I always use the isolators with the handle so it can be switched off without having to use a screwdriver.
why is it that plumbing parts are never universal? Biggest problems I ever get are that and this don't fit , need an adapter for this into that, no thats female I need male, Plumbing is like the twilight zone.
Just had to re do my kitchen sink waste and that I found to be a nightmare. Got there in the end but for Christ sake why can’t things just work with each other, like all of one part be male and the other part be female! Not a bit of both.
Crappie job James I got browned off watching it,😂😂, Glad you got to the bottom of it, Have you still got the work shop a lot of good stuff went up on youtube from there 👍👍🤜
not a fan of flexis with valves. When the valve starts leaking or the hose breaks, you gotta replace both; so how do you shut off the water to replace the flexi?........ Yeah. Useless valve!
was going to say, Why cut the pipe when you can just use the thread at the end where the flexi conn- and then i saw, Oh, it's a pushfit flexi. CUURSEE YOUUU COWBOOOYS!
Ha ha, getting Screwfix to deliver to a shop that's a 25 minute drive away. Amateur. I had an order sent to its Exeter Street, Plymouth branch when I thought I'd selected my local branch in Park Royal, near Wembley...
These modern cisterns are a bit crap though. Maybe I present them with too much of a job. But one flush is often not enough. Give me the decent flush of the old style cistern. Can't believe I just typed that into the internet....

OK on procedure: ruined by attempt at humour. Too much gabbling and nipping down the shops. Use the time to explain the Item / kit needed.

Engaging. Informative. Entertaining. 10 out of 10. That was great !
Thank you for showing how hard a job can be in reality because not everyone does
Top man
Love your videos keep them coming! Do all plumbers carry a tree in The back of their vans? 😂
your the best plumber in the whole world and the funniest🤣

Exactly what i was going to say, all down to cut finish
Yes it is. Max will make the blade take big sweeping cuts (moving the blade forward as well as up and down) the minimum will just move it up and down for those more delicate of jobs. X
Nicely explained. Anyone with a bit of nonce could replace one following your instructions.😊

@@riptiz I think you mean nous. Nonce is something rather different.

The great thing about those concertina waste connectors is if they leak you can just rotate the whole thing till the rip is at the top
Where can I buy the serpent flexible hose from ?

17:15 Excellent and the only advice so true
Always love your videos.Didn't realise you was so local to me,
How do i go about drilling a hole through a internal wall for pipe to pass through but the the drill body doesn't allow the drill bit to get close enough to the external wall so the spacing is okay for the pipe clips that hold them to the wall.
What ???????????????????????
Shoes off, runner beans on kitchen top, old coffee jar as storage pots is a clear indication youre going to have a good masala chai later on!
Someone help me ,where can I buy the serpent flexible toilet hose
What flexible connector are you using please
Luv ur videos keep up the good work
lost it when you started being a menace in the store xD

I’m literally about to do this tomorrow. Have you been probing my mind? 😂
Fine vdeo ! / i ' d like to buy the t -shirt with the adjusteble spanner you sometimes wear ! Where can i get it ?😅
A very good Tuesday morning to you sir from Wellington Somerset

Any bloke who can make taking the soil pipe of a shitter entertaining has my vote 😂
Well all i can say is this vid went right down the pan 😂
I would of fitted a side entry ball valve cistern so you don’t have to take off the lower panel for servicing the cistern
Its about time someone made decent flexis
Stick to McAlpine.

Agreed 1st time doing my own bathroom/toilet and I had to buy 2 or 3 parts of everything… I guess lesson learned for next time though!!
Just had to re do my kitchen sink waste and that I found to be a nightmare. Got there in the end but for Christ sake why can’t things just work with each other, like all of one part be male and the other part be female! Not a bit of both.
@@Alexander_l322any tips on how to get ahead of this or is it just learning on the job?
When is the next Real Normal?!

na, agreed mate, some of the flushes are annoyingly bad. But I've more often noticed bad toilet designs that slow down the water during a flush..
