HI All,

I will update my weekly EAL learning update shortly, most likely turn that into a weekly forublog!

But question for you and some help.

Safe Iso, we could not do as the booths were being used last night, so we did the 1/2 way switching with a junc box and intermediate. I did take a picture with me phone, I will need to upload that!

But, got into a right mess as started it without any diagrams, anyway, 1 hr into the prac, we managed to get the diagrams onto the whiteboards and look at what's going on!

But, without having them explained before hand - I got lost a few times, even though great fun doing the wiring.

So, to catch up and get to speed before the prac comes in a few weeks time, some help

1. Where's the best get circuit diagams for this setup
2. Where's the best place to get wiring diagrams for this setup
3. Where the best place to get all the gear to make a board at home and do this myself 1st or 2nd hand.

With 3. - I have accounts with toolsta, screw, tlc and all sorts of places like that! Is it easier to get the cheapest bits from there or can I ask for help here - if anyone has boxes of old crapp this dont want!

I could most likely pick up the light swtich and switches for a pound or so each!

Where the best place to get the 2 and 3 core wires at the cheapest or has anyone got this 2nd hand lying around (also the correct names to look up online to price).

Eventually I will need to invest in a cheapo circuit box as i know, to get my speed up (when comfortable pace), I need to get this stuff for my own to practice at home.

Grateful for any help on the reading materials to see whats actully going on with diagrams and then grateful for the heads up on where to get all these materials for the cheapest and nastyness price, even if its 2nd hand!
 
Here are the pictures,

1. my board
2. board on the classroom, we are trying to recreate, but without the mains box, (we are using a small junc box.

Thanks for this,

My mate who is a sparky (just about to qualify), is bringing some old bits for me this thursday, so I can build my own practice board.
I've got a thread on here somewhere about my rig, stripped it back down and about to give it another rebuild to work around my work-from-home setup
