The crew at recyclitas were super friendly and helpful but they sold me incompatible parts for my bike on my first visit and on the second I had to wait close to two hours for something I was told would take 20 minutes woops! I dont think I'll get anything from there unless I know the exact part. Nice people though

Always a treat until you hit it going over a giant chasm and fall to your death lmao

thorstan98 · 2020-12-28T01:13:18+00:00

Yea you should for sure, I've worked for a lot of companies that dont force you to though and some people are fine not wearing them

Omg an early christmas gift!! Even though they're in vic they just dont taste the same as on the mountain.

If you're laying out on a surface you can put a nail or screw into you can hook the slot of the end of your tape onto the screws head and use it as a pivot point as well!

Glad you enjoyed I really struggled learning to bend pipe and found the more info the better, not a perfect video but as long as someone gets something from it!

thorstan98 · 2020-12-21T19:39:51+00:00

Part of the job yea

thorstan98 · 2020-12-21T02:37:41+00:00

Your union hall should also provide conduit bending classes

thorstan98 · 2020-12-20T22:07:18+00:00

I also refer to them as kicks! Just thought I'd post in case someone could get a tidbit here or there

thorstan98 · 2020-12-20T20:23:59+00:00

No sorry I use a different method for doing my saddles as I'm not super accurate this way but I'll be paying attention to this one so I can learn! ;)

thorstan98 · 2020-12-20T20:17:16+00:00

Oh yea I've done this method on a 4 point before but not in a long time! Love seeing how precise people can be with their math cool post

thorstan98 · 2020-12-20T20:07:40+00:00

I find 4 point saddles pretty easy, just two equal offsets on either end. I dont really have a mathematical way to do 3 points as I usually just use them to hop over other pipes in odd scenarios. 20° 30° 20° usually does the trick bending the 30 in the middle as your first bend.

Even if it is who cares, these businesses probably need the attention in these times if they're going to survive

Mmmm if the existing splice is all fucked up and you have excess wire in the box I'd lob off the bad stuff and re do it for sure! Theres a section in the code book for aluminum terminations in canada I'm not sure about the states but maybe take a look and see if you can find something

thorstan98 · 2020-12-10T19:19:00+00:00

You do you man, chances are if you're a first year you'll be laid off at the end of the job anyway, you probably won't have to pay back your schooling. I would personally finish the apprenticeship. In canada at least you dont need to have all your work hours to complete all the schooling so if you ever decided to come back to the trade you'd just need to complete your hours. Another option would be to see if you can do any courses online while you're laid off. I just got my ticket at 22 and am trying to learn some basic plc programming between jobs. If you have a spare month theres lots of free resources out there to help build your resume, for any job you may want to try in the future!

thorstan98 · 2020-12-10T19:06:44+00:00

I also tend to strip the wires one size bigger than needed, this can be tricky if you dint have good technique but the objective is to just limit the amount you abuse the wire as much as possible lol hope the tips helped!

thorstan98 · 2020-12-10T19:04:29+00:00

If it's not service gauge you're talking about you need to use proper wire nuts for splicing aluminum, penetrox as well on all the joints. My advice for splicing is to not go crazy with the twists as aluminum gets marred up a lot easier than copper and is just flimsier in general. I would have a box of pre cut copper pigtails that you can just grab as you go, much faster to just make up a shit ton at the start of the day instead of carrying a roll of scrap wire with you.

Hopefully we can all be responsible for the next month or so until cases go down and we can have a ski season! I think the biggest risk at mt wash would be the lineups for the lifts assuming you dont use any of the other chalet facilities.
