CJR Electrical - really poor workmanship video

[penguinlicker]

David savery, artisan and Nbundy are probably my favourite channels.

I think it gives them good publicity as I like the look of their work and would hire them if they were in my area.

As their subscribers increase they do become some sort of electrical celebrities which must also be beneficial.

I’m subscribed to the other chap too and I like his videos. The 2 swas for a radial was a bit bonkers but in fairness he keeps his mistakes up which is admirable.

yes and also from advertisement & sponsors

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

is that the one where he gobbed a surface socket into a rendered outside wall?

I remember that video well, but can't find it on youtube.

This guy has some interesting ideas though...

That butty box install is amazing. Love it
That guy recessing they outdoor into the render is one of the all time greats. Can’t find it though, anyone got a link?

 

[Baddegg]

yes and also from advertisement & sponsors

But Chris told us to block the ads?......don’t think I’ll be advertising on his videos ?

No wonder then, they don't ever seem pushed to bloody get on with the job, ha ha. The modern world eh in a way they do become celebrities.

The fellas name was Kieran but can't remember the company name. The video is long gone from YouTube, it is on here somewhere but I doubt it would play if you found it. He got some serious criticism for that job.

Rightly so, that butty box socket was a better job than what he did!

 

[westward10]

Scroll through this thread to #21 it still plays.

I think ive found our mate Kieran's business partner

Yes you legend!
That video at the top of the post is a classic aswell if I remember correctly. Give me some entertainment later when the mrs is watching the soaps!

The whole thing beggars belief.

Prefer Harry Hill, myself.....and he's rubbish

 

[stevethesparks]

The only good thing is since then - he couldn't have got any worse.
According to Companies House, he is still in business.

Absolute plonker, westy. So many things. I particularly like his '4 inch' depth marker......How can he be part of an on going electrical contracting company? Phew!

 

[Andy78]

Rimmer’s got an “H” on his forehead...

I was gonna say this. Bit of the Mandela effect going on there.

He's a craftsman!

Says so himself at 5:30.

 

[richy3333]

Those two should team up with Chris and become the 3 Amigos ?

 

[Phil L]

His wife must of been really disappointed when he told her he had eight inches ?‍

 

[littlespark]

Im not going to ask how he measures a 4” depth..... a bit low for that, isn’t it?

 

[ipf]

as long as the biscuit tin is IP55 or better, what's the problem?

It's a bit Jammy Dodgy.

 

[casperLennon]

Fantastic craftsmanship ????

 

[Baddegg]

WTAF IS HE DOING IN THAT VIDEO!!.....that’s got to be a wind up

Didn’t you know that’s how your suppose to install outside sockets. Don’t tell me you just stick them on the wall you botcher!

 

[nicebutdim]

Not sure if it could be considered a mitigating factor, or if it makes the situation worse, but a few of his comments lead me to believe that this was his own house.

 

[Dustydazzler]

At least he butchered his own wall and not some poor old paying customers....

there is or was a version of the MK master seal range that could be flushed in and rendered around but that Is for a new Wall being completely rendered

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Just watched it again. It’s even worse second time round!!
Good job he knows his inches, bet his mrs loves his 16 inch pecker!
Twin and earth insulation not brought into the socket, not doubled over connectors, using bloody grip fill as fillar, using a RCD socket in his own house (Surely he’s atleast put a RCD bord in his own house)

 

[TJ Anderson]

Loving this thread! Really laughed out loud when I saw Westward's comment on his video about the stanley, that was awesome ?.

That Kieran cannot be serious, that is just mental!!

 

[hasel5]

First time I have seen that made me cringe

 

[Baddegg]

That video took me through just about every emotion!....Hollywood should head hunt the director !

 

[Dustydazzler]

If you like a bit of cringe worthy electrical work , this guy nearly electrocuted himself removing a switch

Bit controversial with Delroy cutting out an earth to get around a neutral to earth fault.

Took him a while to do any testing too. Spent a good while disconnecting stuff then re closing the breaker to see if it tripped.

Do they make any money on their posts.

Yes but in most cases it's peanuts, possibly appropriate in some cases.
Financial reward from Youtube is calculated on hits and overall popularity and number of adverts attracted to it, another one of these algorythms does it.

The greatest financial reward comes from sponsorship of the videos or promotion of products by the "Star" of the video.

Very few people (of the hundreds of millions that post) get rich or even make a living from Youtube.

 

[Julie.]

There is money to be made though.

But you have to be big in something popular, that's going to continuously get hits, so something debunking flat earth/other rubbish; or some "influencer" being as vapid as possible.

Anything specialised like electrical, plumbing etc - just peanuts for monkeys

 

[Dustydazzler]

my daughter watches some random cake baking / cooking stuff on youtube mainly from America , some of these sites have 2 million subscriptions

 

[davesparks]

Fair play he held his hands up, but why put it on YouTube???
There is a saying “it’s best to keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you’re an idiot than open it and remove all doubt!”

Because regularly posting videos on YouTube is essential to being successful on, and making money from, YouTube.

Posting regularly, getting lots of comments, having lots of views and getting lots of subscribers shows that the YouTube channel is popular and active so will attract better sponsors, get more advertising revenue etc.

I appreciate that Dave, but what is the point in making a few quid from YouTube if you cannot get any work because everyone thinks you don’t know what you’re doing. You will hardly be able to retire on the proceeds especially if you have no new content to post.

Think he's after a 2020 oscar nomination? D******d Of The Year, maybe.
...to help pay for his 2019 Vivaro.

Golden Raspberry more likely

Once you get to the 300K Range of subscribers That’s when you can take the YouTube game seriously. A bloke I watch has just ditched his full time job as at 358K subscribers he can make more money making videos. Also these people make money through live streams and Donations. Apparently said guy is making Twice his
Annual salary and was an “Electrical engineer” based in the UK.

YouTube is a fickle master, they have a habbit of just banning creators and your job/income and years of graft would be gone over night.

Young Chris came up on my Instagram feed the other day so I had a nose. Its quite clear the blokes a plumber, builder, painter and all round good egg. Not great with a stanley blade tho

 

[Dustydazzler]

In his latest youtube instalment he does a bit of a van / tool kit tour.
he has a little chuckle when he Loads his plumbers bag into the van.
im still not sure if he is a plumber , handyman or sparks...

Social blade is a website that gives estimations of earnings from social media, a lot of content creators make more from Patreon donations than YouTube adds. There is a Canadian engineer called AvE that makes about $40K/m from Patron alone.
