easy my arse. the hard part is getting the reverse bend at exactly 180deg. to the first. couple of degrees out and you end up with a donkey's hind leg.
I managed all those bends in one length of conduit, you should see my tray and trunking work..........

If you do a few loop in installs and you can get quite into it, I enjoy doing that. I did it on some sockets on the same job to demonstrate measuring the bends in one piece for an apprentice. And no I didn't do the wonky bit feeding the switch the other side of the wall. Of course I could have gone straight across, but there's no need to demonstrate that. Cables can be pulled in after plastering.

The wonky one behind was already there from when the building was built. Any spacing issues on the front 2 are an illusion. :)
@freddo was there a reason not to go straight across? I'm trying to work out why you'd go up, do a double 90 and come straight back down insead of going sideways for a much easier and shorter run.
As I said it was for a demonstration, that and I didn't want to wreck the wall, the noggins were well nailed in with long ring shank nails.

I like that, why, because it is fully rewirable , don't see much of that these days.!!
 
Have been doing a bit of it recently in local fire stations, it has been easy altering the existing lighting wiring within the buried conduits, and good fun putting new conduits in the new parts. Wish I could do it more.
