onsite inventions!

[jaypp]

If you come up with an idea, keep it to yourself and try to protect it. Act fast if you don't want to be saying 'I thought of that ages ago'. How many people will benefit from your invention and hence make a purchase is important e.g. something that aids thatch roofers as opposed to something for parents of babies.
I think most electricians will have ideas as the nature of our trade calls for an engineering mindset

I invented seasonal insulation tape ... well you have thought so when I threw the crap back at the wholesalers saying it don't stick to itself in cold weather...

I have often thought can we have a rewind button to get maybe 20 seconds or so of our life back when we read pointless threads/posts on here.

A bit harsh!
Can't beat a bit of improvisation on-site; scaff poles, old bits of rope, etc., have always come in handy for me.

I once sent the Jack Russel under a void with a rope on it and called it to a brick I'd knocked out on the outside wall ...saved me getting dirty .
Improvisation it your intelligence working overtime

Have you tried the Floorboard Forum?

 

[ayjay]

Don't know about anyone else or it could just be me but does anyone else try to invent things to help onsite?
I have a little book with loads of ideas and potential time saving and money enhancing ideas, just wondering if anyone else does something similar. My latest one is a piece of solid wire with a hook on the end of it, I like to call it......THE COAT HANGER.

Had one of those 40 years ago, an old wall tie, nothing really mind blowing there MerlinGremlin, oh can I have my 20 secs back as well

One of my electronic manufactures, in China sent me a usb hamster wheel, for charging your phone...Instructions were great "Place animal on wheel, plug usb to phone, animal give free power to phone. Note animal no cruel, he naturally happy".....crazy

I invented these apprentice shoes for keeping things clean while they are stood chasing out.



Still looking for a financial backer on this if anyone is interested......?

Maybe it's the colour that's putting the investors off

No good for site work though, no protective toe covering
