If you bother to read other posts he has already re done it again.

i take it you and alot of members here never asked for advice or never made a mistake out there i wonder how you all learned? sorry i know you all god's gift

We spent years completing an apprenticeship and having our backsides kicked when we made mistakes. The important thing, however, was that there was someone who knew exactly how to do the job correctly watching over us to step in when we messed up.
Yes, it was done again, but still not to the standard which most of us would expect to see.

I agree, that's how we learned and you made sure you didn't mess up again, that's why the apprenticeship system worked far better IMO than all this have a go and check it out on a forum lark FFS how on earth do some of these people dare call themselves sparks lol

Good to hear that, it means to me they are being taught correctly and will not be on a forum posing as a sparks asking the basics when the come out of their time.

im pretty sure you have and ive seen some very experienced sparks with gold jib who carried out work which was nothing short of a shocker.

i think it all depends if you take pride of the work you do.

Yep, and the basic question is, why would anyone even attempt to complete a task such as this without knowing and understanding the factors and consequences involved. At least he knew there was something wrong and some would have left it as it was, but there's no getting away from the fact that it is trial and error guess work.

yeah, I bet that all the other photo shockers on this thread were done by so called 'qualified' sparks who served apprenticeships, and not Electrical Trainee.

Nout, I only know about the Ball (singular) rather than Balls (plural)

That being said I have heard lots of horror stories
