Remount the fire extinguisher next to a door. That way if there ever is a fire you do not have to go all the way inside the structure. You can grab the extinguisher, pull the pin, and start to use it as you approach the fire in the structure.
Agreed! Fire Extinguishers should not be blocked by anything. A clear open path. Can't even place a trash can under the box! 20 years in the Air Force working in Vehicle Maintenance Shops and the importance of quick access to a Fire Extinguishers is the difference between a small fire and a lost building! We had to inspect every fire extinguisher monthly and notify the Fire Department of any defects. The Fire Department would do their monthly inspections to ensure we were in compliance with regulations and inspections. They would also test exit signs, emergency lighting, fire suppression/sprinkler systems, and all of the different alarms. And if we had hazardous materials, they would inspect the Fire Safety Storage Cabinets and Fire Safety Storage Buildings.
He coved this on a different video. The box is inset into the wall. However I would have another big extinguisher next to the walk door. At least a 5lb, probably a 10 lb.
I agree, it pains me to see a fire extinguisher blocked off like that! The only silver lining is that its not the only extinguisher in the shop, there appears to be one by the stairs and another on the opposite side of the shop by the rollup door.
Mike, that was hilarious. You are trying to get that pipe in the wall. My wife and I caught that. We know why you were smiling at Aaron. You two have got to be one of the TOP RUclips video makers there is. You guys are awesome, and that is why we love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Both of you
Hang in there, man. It'll be so worth it. I've had a table for about 15 years now. I use it primarily in my business to cut out replacement body panels for old cars, but it's good for so much more. I can't count the number of brackets, jigs, and tooling I've made, not to mention metal signage, and anything else you can think of. It will change your approach to designing parts for your projects. Things like cutting square or oval holes in the middle of a plate go from tedious to simple. I've also set up a bracket that holds a Sharpie so I can mark where bends and beads go. This is going to be great for you, trust me. If you've got any questions, let me know, maybe I can help. Cheers, R.
From an Electrician's perspective, not bad work on your panel wiring. Nice, clean, well organized. :) When I was doing electrical work, the inspector would take one look at the panel, see it was mine and just stroll through the rest of the house without really inspecting much else. He knew I was a perfectionist and he didn't have to worry about whether it was done right or not.
I don't work with the buzz buzz, but I do have to inspect construction work. If during my first inspection it's a mess, I will be looking for everything the every time i come back until they have their house in order. But, if everything is squared away the first time i show up, I will still check the important stuff but I will also spend a whole lot more time asking the guys about how their week has been and what their plans are for the weekend.
Same thing with my inspectors, first one told me on rough ins he looked up at the homeruns if they were neat and tidy he knew the guys had paid attention if they were all over the place he knew he better check. after awhile you get a reputation for doing good work, I actully got wrote up for a staple to tight on a doorbell run, when I asked I was told I had to find something the office people were thinking you were paying off the inspectors
Same here. I did a rough-in job with my boss one time. I did one side of an office space and he did the other. When the inspector came through, he saw my side first and as he walked through and got to my boss’ side he just stopped and said, “What the f@#$ happened here?!” He was going to red tag the project until I promised that I would personally fix all of the violations before they sheetrocked that afternoon. Having a good reputation with the inspectors is like gold.
You and the MBTS always say you are not, in this case, electricians. But then y'all get the work done in a superb fashion. I esp liked DP's tenacity with going through the crawl space and fixing/installing stuff with minimal cursing.👌 Good video.👍
As an electrician since 1975 phase converters are expensive, expensive to run but sometimes the only way to make it work. Technic is a learned thing but you did fine, hiring an experienced phase converter electrician might be to your advantage. The 3 phase is worked around and experience might save a bunch.
Hey if you look on the outside of that valve stem, those are called threads and they sale a plastic or even metal item that when you turn it clockwise tightens around the stem and it's designed to keep air in and foreign objects out..............just playin great video love your guys's content.... keep diggin !!!!!!
My uncle had remodeled his house from the ground up. The house was about 40 years old when he bought it. Everything was up to code when he got done for 40 years ago. Wiring up modern lights, ceiling fans, etc. was a pain in the ass with the now out of date two wire electrical in the house. My uncle wanted to update the electrical in the house, but it wasn't feasible due to his age, health, and limited income. When he passed and the house was sold, his children did a lot of work to the house and updated the electrical and plumbing. So the new owner can enjoy the house for many more years.
I'd rather wrestle an angry bobcat than do any type of wiring. Mike, you're fortunate that your crawlspace is concrete. When I was a kid, and when my parents needed something worked on under the house, I was the child who they sent to crawl around in the mud under the house and fix it. I don't want to talk about dead mice. I don't like mice.
Try thawing water pipes under a house trailer The woman had fourteen cats. When I came out Threw my coveralls and the cardboard I was laying on in a pile and burned them
*How did I know this ?* When Aaron asked for a band aid it was going to be a piece of rag, sterilized with engine oil, and wrapped with electrical tape !
Where your cables cross the floor, you should protect them with "cable ramps"... in the McMaster-Carr catalog. You moved the cutting table out to store sheet steel (?)
In another life I owned a laundromat, we had a rotophase to operate a few large capacity washer. Basically you have a whole separate system. All your wiring looks great. Can't wait to see the table in operation.
It sure is a good thing that you had your onsite electrical consultant, Man Behind The Sparky, there to guide your wiring and take any physical "hits to the hand." I'm an electrical engineer for a power company and I just bought myself a box of popcorn to get ready to watch the next foray into your rotary phase converter...should be interesting.....and hopefully not too entertaining. As always....great channel, great content.
One step at a time. Great progress, but not enough yet. Have you ran the water line yet?? DP, Gunner, and Aaron, good job! There's more to go. Thank you for sharing
I only pretend to be an electrician on occasion, here are a few cool things I realized within the last couple years; I always use tandem breakers to save room in the boxes, real wire pulling lube is amazing, and sub panels are required to have dedicated grounding wires. You'll get it going if you haven't already! Cheers, 👍😁
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Good to see some progress on the cutting table. Looking forward to seeing it make noise in the future. Wishing you and your family the best. Was surprised you didn’t send Arron into the crawl space, plenty of headroom for him, and probably wouldn’t even need a ladder or booster stool.
Ouch! MBTS, I can relate. Helped my neighbor put up a new mail box yesterday, and he about took my thumb off. Just now starting to feel normal! Did I tell ya, I to hate doing electrical work. Makes me nervous. Great video! Thanks Mike and Aaron. Lee (PS: I almost hate crawling in craw spaces as much! 2 Gold Stars, Mike!)
I have on that doesn't require any electrical. Just consists of a small sphere connected to the drain port, There is a float inside that when there is enough water present, it opens a valve and discharges the water until the level drops. Been using it for many years with no maintenance and it still works like new.
You have done a great job maximizing the the shop space as a multipurpose repair facility but, there probably a new separate shop space built into the side of the hill with 12' wide by 14' high overhead doors somewhere in your future to keep all the crazy and necessary hazardous repair and fabrication activities away from the house. I can't wait to see you guys getting this table working. All in good time.
Good morning sunshines! I ran the wires when we built our house & I hated doing it too! Not fun at all! Good luck with it! Lol! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA
O the memories of the crawl space life. I've done plenty of crawl space and attic Plumbing,HVAC and Electrical jobs in my career. Looks great my friends. Job well done.
We added a plasma cnc to our shop absolutely game changer we have a Langmuir XR it was plug and play....like everything it is always a pain in the ass we have issues at our shop here in Maine and its constant with machine tool implementation with that it will be awesome for you..
If having to crawl into "crawl spaces" to be an electrician, you can count me out! It makes me appreciate them more when I can just get on the phone and call them! Props to you Mike for taking it on.
Mike Aaron and Gunner great work, take it easy and don’t rush the job learning is the only way! You’ve got plenty of subscribers that can help! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
When you was doing the panel work, I was sitting here saying if you remove that bar you can separate your ground from but you got there. Enjoyed the video as always.
For not knowing what you were doing,y’all did a pretty decent job on wiring up that box.good little video as always.just continue on entertaining us with your antics,I’m always amazed that y’all ever get anything done.LOL.be safe.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Looks good. I am not an electrician but I don't think you are supposed to run romex through conduit. I typically strip the sheath off. Makes it easier to get it through those service elbo as well.
If using compressed air for the plasma cutting gas make sure you have good air filters at the machine. It takes very little oil in the air line to ruin the torch hoses. $$$$
I've always believed that you don't have to know what you're doing as long as it looks like you know what you're doing. (works out about 80% of the time)
You should have gotten an ARCDROID CNC like the Fab Rats channel. That thing is taking up way to much valuable shop space. One good thing about the rotary phase converter is now you can get a three phase welder for Aaron.
Depends on what amps the machine that’s plugged into the outlet. That is what you need to size wire on. Just because it’s 220v doesn’t determine what wire size.
What I did for my 3-phase setup is use the phase changer to start a 3-phase motor to generate a constant third leg. Basically creating a DIY rotary phase converter.
Well, the progress you've already made is amazing! Just keep your cool, ignore the setbacks and take each forward step as a win! Rome wasn't built in a day because of guys like the manufacturer, grrrr! Hopefully you can get out of the shop tomorrow and breathe without hyperventilating. If it rains again, try yoga, lol!
Hows Arrons thumb looked painful, if you were here over in the UK you'd have to get a qualified electrician in and it would have to be tested and certified. Probably a lot safer, plus anything goes wrong its there responsibility. Like the new tow truck, it must have been at least 5 times heavier than the truck is was towing. 👍
I've been a Master Electrician for 30 years and I think you did a great job. I have seen many, many, many "electricians" that couldn't have done half as good a job. Nice work. I do wish Little Man could have been there to keep MBTS in line though.
First things First.... I want a band aid!! (Do you need a hug too mate? 🤣🤣) OK, so why would you peeved with Hypertherm? They are the best plasma cutters out!!
I was wondering when he will find out he have bad phase converter and hoping he wont realize it after plugging in that plasma table. Overall good job, you guys made it nice and tidy.
On our air compressor at the shop where we work. It has a electric air valve that drains that everyone's every. 030 minutes or so then all you have to do is run a hose from that air valve outside. And then you just let the air compression run normally, and then all of a sudden, you'll hear this. This, uh, please like a snake sound, it's hissing, and it's just the air valve blowing out the water out of the bottom of your arab compressor
Now, there is an elactrician, sitting at home, watching this video, wishing he had some work to do, And there he is, watching you guys take twice as long as HE would have? 🤔🙄😲😂😂😂
first day on the job as an electrician and watching the site master jumping up and down on 4 500 coppers in a lb box to get the lid on...what was bad its on the side of a 3 story building. Thats when I learned there are morons at every level. It turned out ok we had another master inside. Just roll that out, wheels is awesome.
Aaron knows job site antics but he didn't have to crawl around in the dark crawl space Mike so did you buy a three phase converter great video thanks Mike and Aaron
Just take the "Jumper" off between the "Neutral and the Grounding bar" and now you have your Grounding bar on the left, and your Neutral bar on the right. Of course, by the time you get this, you guys will be all done! Just for your info, I'm an electrician of 45 years in CT.
If the crawl space of my house was in that nice of a condition, I probably would not be so resistant to doing any work under the house. Or so I tell myself. Enjoyed this episode guys as I do all the others. Thanks for providing the content.
Noticed you got the American Rotary phase converter. Excellent choice. Interested to hear the issue with the plasma company. My assumption is that it is not set up to take commands from the table controller. But just guessing. Nice work on what you have accomplished and yes, it is a learning process. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work.. as an electrician acros the big pond i feel for your crawlspace adventure.. as far as the footage showed, it's at least a debris free crawlspace. Where i work you hit the lottery if there is no building debris. Most of the time gets spent by getting rid of the rebar and other sharp poking stuff that's trying to slice you
Even with just one or two wires - going through a tight LB like that - a drop or two of dawn dish soap will do wonders...cheaper than pull lube and turns to dust once it dries out.
Remount the fire extinguisher next to a door. That way if there ever is a fire you do not have to go all the way inside the structure. You can grab the extinguisher, pull the pin, and start to use it as you approach the fire in the structure.
That would be way to logical for the Derby chapter of Fred Karno's circus,( google it).
Agreed! Fire Extinguishers should not be blocked by anything. A clear open path. Can't even place a trash can under the box! 20 years in the Air Force working in Vehicle Maintenance Shops and the importance of quick access to a Fire Extinguishers is the difference between a small fire and a lost building!

And checked / inspected annually.

Watching you and Aaron was way more enjoyable than watching TV. Aaron is one true friend and a huge asset to the Dirt Perfect Channel.

Taking us along to the crawlspace was dedication above and beyond the call!!
You and the MBTS always say you are not, in this case, electricians. But then y'all get the work done in a superb fashion. I esp liked DP's tenacity with going through the crawl space and fixing/installing stuff with minimal cursing.👌 Good video.👍
You two are not electricians! 😂. BUT, I don't think there is anything you can't do. You boys are awesome.
Now how helpfull is Aaron ?, a super skilled helpfull guy full of knowledge in all aspects of work and you are so lucky to have him. lol
he's funny too

The Latin word for electrician helper is

Gotta love when a welder gets involved with electricity MBTS definitely knows what not to mess with lol, love the video.

Might not be of interest, but you can get automatic drains for compressors (basically an electric valve that you can program to open periodically)
I have on that doesn't require any electrical. Just consists of a small sphere connected to the drain port, There is a float inside that when there is enough water present, it opens a valve and discharges the water until the level drops. Been using it for many years with no maintenance and it still works like new.

not disappointed at all. Just means another friendly video from two of the best guys on all of my favorites. Thanks for sharing. Love it.
Mike Aaron and Gunner great work, take it easy and don’t rush the job learning is the only way! You’ve got plenty of subscribers that can help! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
When you was doing the panel work, I was sitting here saying if you remove that bar you can separate your ground from but you got there. Enjoyed the video as always.
That’s some really neat electrical work for not knowing how! Well done 🙌🏽
For being what you call 'not electricians,' you guys did an admiral job so far. Kudos to DP and Aaron!
No way I would post this!
Way too many experts clicking away on their phones
For not knowing what you were doing,y’all did a pretty decent job on wiring up that box.good little video as always.just continue on entertaining us with your antics,I’m always amazed that y’all ever get anything done.LOL.be safe.👍👍👍😎😎😎
DP you need to put Aluminum paste on the aluminum wires to prevent oxidation!
Keep telling yourself it’s gonna be awesome 👍👍👍👍
Looks good. I am not an electrician but I don't think you are supposed to run romex through conduit. I typically strip the sheath off. Makes it easier to get it through those service elbo as well.
If using compressed air for the plasma cutting gas make sure you have good air filters at the machine. It takes very little oil in the air line to ruin the torch hoses. $$$$
Dirt perfect towing, recovery, and electrical, oh, and dirt work!
I've always believed that you don't have to know what you're doing as long as it looks like you know what you're doing. (works out about 80% of the time)
Where's that leave tRump?
You have to get it working or HR will trim your benefit package. She wasn't happy when you brought it home.
i knew right in the beginning when i saw that bitty phase o matic you were going down the wrong path, i was screaming rotary dude!
I’m sure it’s already done and running just fine. 💪
You might want to put a water filter on the air line to cutting table since the plasma cutter doesn’t care much for water going through it.
Bound and determined to make it work!! Keep digging!!
You should have gotten an ARCDROID CNC like the Fab Rats channel. That thing is taking up way to much valuable shop space. One good thing about the rotary phase converter is now you can get a three phase welder for Aaron.
great video y'all can't wait til you can flip the twitch on the table that would be right awesome 👍
220 v outlet needs 10/4 wires. black and red to breaker. White to neutral. Bare ground to grounding lug in panel.
Depends on what amps the machine that’s plugged into the outlet. That is what you need to size wire on. Just because it’s 220v doesn’t determine what wire size.
What I did for my 3-phase setup is use the phase changer to start a 3-phase motor to generate a constant third leg. Basically creating a DIY rotary phase converter.

Well, the progress you've already made is amazing! Just keep your cool, ignore the setbacks and take each forward step as a win! Rome wasn't built in a day because of guys like the manufacturer, grrrr! Hopefully you can get out of the shop tomorrow and breathe without hyperventilating. If it rains again, try yoga, lol!
It will get there, Mike. Good job so far.
Hows Arrons thumb looked painful, if you were here over in the UK you'd have to get a qualified electrician in and it would have to be tested and certified. Probably a lot safer, plus anything goes wrong its there responsibility. Like the new tow truck, it must have been at least 5 times heavier than the truck is was towing. 👍
Very nice job guys. This was an informative video and very entertaining. Stay safe
Love the wiring disclosures😂
I've been a Master Electrician for 30 years and I think you did a great job. I have seen many, many, many "electricians" that couldn't have done half as good a job. Nice work. I do wish Little Man could have been there to keep MBTS in line though.
One would think you'd want the shallowest item as the one closest to the plasma table instead of the deepest as the mill seems to be.
First things First.... I want a band aid!! (Do you need a hug too mate? 🤣🤣) OK, so why would you peeved with Hypertherm? They are the best plasma cutters out!!
I was wondering when he will find out he have bad phase converter and hoping he wont realize it after plugging in that plasma table. Overall good job, you guys made it nice and tidy.
lolol..sparrrr-ky! Coffee on guys! Here we go! Cheers! ;-)!!!
On our air compressor at the shop where we work. It has a electric air valve that drains that everyone's every. 030 minutes or so then all you have to do is run a hose from that air valve outside. And then you just let the air compression run normally, and then all of a sudden, you'll hear this. This, uh, please like a snake sound, it's hissing, and it's just the air valve blowing out the water out of the bottom of your arab compressor
Hate that MBTS got a boo boo 🚑, but great video of how to figure this out!
Now, there is an elactrician, sitting at home, watching this video, wishing he had some work to do,
And there he is, watching you guys take twice as long as HE would have? 🤔🙄😲😂😂😂
Enjoyed the video guy's a couple of changes to the wiring and you should be in business.
i dearly love the shop vids - you go guys
you can run everything and have the the person hook it up and make Shure it right before you add power
first day on the job as an electrician and watching the site master jumping up and down on 4 500 coppers in a lb box to get the lid on...what was bad its on the side of a 3 story building. Thats when I learned there are morons at every level. It turned out ok we had another master inside. Just roll that out, wheels is awesome.
Be sure to mark the white wire in the breaker with black tape to denote it is now a hot wire.
Aaron knows job site antics but he didn't have to crawl around in the dark crawl space Mike so did you buy a three phase converter great video thanks Mike and Aaron
Good practice for wiring Old Yeller.
Just take the "Jumper" off between the "Neutral and the Grounding bar" and now you have your Grounding bar on the left, and your Neutral bar on the right. Of course, by the time you get this, you guys will be all done! Just for your info, I'm an electrician of 45 years in CT.
You guys will prevail, I’m confident of that.
lmao the mounting holes Curly and Moe used are to mount the ground bus with......
For some reason I’m really looking forward to this on the next video
If the crawl space of my house was in that nice of a condition, I probably would not be so resistant to doing any work under the house. Or so I tell myself. Enjoyed this episode guys as I do all the others. Thanks for providing the content.
I think i would move the fire extinguisher.
MBTS - One of my favorite safety rules from the railroad is "Don't put your finger in the hole!"
the electrical install looked good
You should sound proof that cubby when the air compressor is
The box comes with a removable link between the ground and neutral so no need to add a gound bar
Noticed you got the American Rotary phase converter. Excellent choice. Interested to hear the issue with the plasma company. My assumption is that it is not set up to take commands from the table controller. But just guessing. Nice work on what you have accomplished and yes, it is a learning process. Thanks for sharing.
Hang on. You will fix the situation.
Take your neutral crossover bar off that way you can put your grounding lugs on the one side and your neutrals on the other side
I can see it now ! Erin retires after the workmans comp settlement !
Remove the green bonding screw in a sub panel. Bonded only in the main disconnect.
and install separate ground bar for that new ground wire
Nice work.. as an electrician acros the big pond i feel for your crawlspace adventure.. as far as the footage showed, it's at least a debris free crawlspace. Where i work you hit the lottery if there is no building debris. Most of the time gets spent by getting rid of the rebar and other sharp poking stuff that's trying to slice you
Mike You a good Electrician with great Idea. 👍
You 2 are electricians just enough to be dangerous 😆 🤣
Outstanding job on doing electrical work on that panel box 😊😅
Well DP what you did so far is pretty impressive for someone who is not a “Electrician”!👍🏻
Looking forward to the end product.
If there is a next time take the sheathing off the cable, that way you can pull the individual wires in the pipe.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Even with just one or two wires - going through a tight LB like that - a drop or two of dawn dish soap will do wonders...cheaper than pull lube and turns to dust once it dries out.
