90s EVERYWHEREI watch some of NBs stuff, and he's mildly entertaining. He also admits when he messes up, but some of his installation practices are dubious. He needs to think twice sometimes. He did a particularly awful installation in a garage with conduit and 90° bends everywhere and it made me cringe. Fair play to him, he puts his stuff out there...
I prefer DS, but he doesn't post that often. However, when he does, I really enjoy it, and the effort he puts into his editing. His video about replacing an oven element at Christmas is a classic.
What was he over for?I met him last year and he was a genuinely decent guy. Amazing that he was stuck in NI for a week and still managed to be pleasant!
Were you about 6' 6" with a hat permanently affixed to your head?
What was he over for?
80....?I still can't believe there are such scummy individuals out there who would rob an 80 year old man of his tools...
Its not about the money , its about the invasion and feeling horrible and dejected knowing that you got all your stuff robbed.I have a veto Pro pac and dewalt stuff. They all come in the house with me every night. The bag and what's in it totals over a grand. Not worth it. If they can't get in the back they just nick the whole van, take it to a yard and then cut the doors off.
Dels situation is horrible but to play devil's advocate, he's on over 4x what an average spark is on, I'm sure he can quickly get a respectable kit together to continue working.

My tools are personal to me, I have spend hundreds building up a set of tools that work for me and I know they facilitate me earning a living. They are my tools and I look after them.
How dare a horribel scummy theif just nick me gear and take away my ability (even for a few weeks) to be able to do my job properly and earn my living.
I reckon most people of Del's age , if they had their van nicked / all the stuff nicked from their van then most would just pack it all in. I honestly think I would....Chatted about this with a few guys from work about tool theft and those around my age reckon they'd just quit, rather than buy new kit. Bad enough having a vehicle damaged or stolen, but losing all your tools would be soul destroying.
Is he actually 80?I reckon most people of Del's age , if they had their van nicked / all the stuff nicked from their van then most would just pack it all in. I honestly think I would....
He could well be , but I reckon more like 70 years oldIs he actually 80?
Until builders/tradesmen realise the only answer is to give the thieves a good kicking when they are caught this will never end, the thieves know they is absolutely no downside for them, its a win win for them even if the police do catch them. Drag them onto the job and lump hammer their hands, its the only way.
Yes lowering yourself to their level and committing assault is an excellent soloution.
I'm sure we'd all do really well at paying a mortgage and supporting a family from prison.
Plus of course having a criminal record looks notoriously good on a CV.
