When I was based in Glasgow I made quite a lot of controllers and looms for local prop and production companies. It allowed me to fit electronics into props quickly, or let them put the looms in themselves if there were any delays. Although making the looms is fairly time consuming, it is similar to the work involved in working on the actual prop. It also allows you to do it in the comfort of your own workshop. In many instances installing the prewired loom is often easier than trying to make it inside a large and complex prop itself. Much less fibreglass dust and resin smell too! (The prop industry isn't actually very glamorous.)
This pair of looms are for one of the companies I did a lot of work for, but just a favour for personal use.
The guys and gals in prop companies are like sculptors, but unlike an "artist" who spends years sculpting one statue, these guys just bang them out every day. Their carving and artistic skills are incredible. You see them gluing blocks of polystyrene (styrofoam) together and the next time you look round there's some perfectly shaped statue getting coated and prepared for fibreglassing/mould-making.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

My nephew used to call them Gargles.❤
“Las Vegas and Florida. The trashier bits (of America).” Truer words were never spoken! LOL
I worked for Trickets Fairground in Cranford , absolutely loved it building up the old dogem set and putting up the tilt (roof) which weighed a ton, it was a good life and we worked for food mainly , if we were fed well we worked hard . it took 8 hours to build up the dogem set and we could tear it down and put it all away on two trucks in 4 hours if we had to.
These days the dogem sets are mostly automated and fold out like a transformer hydraulically all the heavy lifting is done by macherinery.
As an aprentice plumber I had to go into the Gosport sewer system and do maintenance repairs the sewers are suprizingly clean but the worst part of my aprenticeship was in work experience clearing out blocked rodding holes on driveways you wouldnt believe what got stuck in those pipes and you didnt have a glove to put on as you rammed your arm up the sewer pipe to grab a stuck sanitary towel. most of the time that was the cause of the blockages, very occasionally a disposable nappy. like the evil eyes great little project. lovin your videos sometimes i binge watch them picking up bits of the past ive forgotten about eectronics, i also watch a lot of "My Mate Vince" to who repairs broken electronics products, the R2 D2 was very interesting. also lovin trhe soda stream experiments keep em coming the baileys was hilarious.
Seriously????? Politicians and lawyers and you would not include economists? I am disappointed, but I suppose it is a start…..
Three was great company I probably had quite a few years of free connection with them. (Initial contract was basically just paying mobile phone cost and it had even some free video call minutes, Once I paid of the phone cost I remained on free plan, paying just for calls…but since Three to Three internal calls were free, I was not paying anything until company got sold). It was funny when telemarketers from other companies were calling trying to offer me a "better" plan. Sure, I would say…. I pay nothing now, so how much are you prepared to pay me?
Politicians are really not interested in money however only political affiliation
This fact is attributed to economics ie economies of scale ; make or buy decisions ; cost benefit analysis etc
The average politician is more concerned about who is credited with the outcome even to the detriment of the nation
Today there must be some packages that identify with such circumstances and also to accommodate for financial limitations as life can be so sudden
Dumb and summer
I would have taken my mum to 1 or 2 destinations in Africa and must include wildlife
Then 2 destinations in Europe and must include Eastern Europe to identify cultural appropriation
Then north and south America for the same cultural appropriation
Then Asia having to make a difficult decision between India or Parkistan and orient Asia between China or Korea
Then I can finally decide to rest knowing I have seen the world and must important the food
At about 2:26AM I've been watching this and ironically or perhaps unironically for watching an electric channel I hear a loud bang outside and the power cuts out as it happens and then almost as fast as the bang happened everything came on again so I crapped my pants a bit XD I just hope nobody got incinerated in the middle of the night
"Prostitutes, weirdos and mimes"
All in the same sentence with nary a pause!
Simplify….. party line.
Superlube is less messy. It's ptfe Teflon grease for 3d printers but I use it sparingly for everything because it's pricey. But a tube lasts a while
