Twin and earth in pipe...

Im not convinced that low level PVC pipe is suitable for a workshop enviroment, I'd want to see steel conduit for mechanical strength.

Why you would faff about trying to get T&E around those elbows (I noticed bending tube is beyond him) and then have to strip it and sleeve the cpcs pointless waste of time. Use singles who cares about the price difference.

It's a bit excessive, but each to their own. My preferred method is using 50x50 trunking around the top of the workshop, with straight conduit drops to each socket/switch. I have no problem using T&E in this setting (it's quite easy, neat and no need to clip it and yes - cheaper). But sod bending it through all those elbows. Plastic/galv is likely use dependant. In my garage I used plastic drops. It's far hardier than clipped direct, and also, I know I'm not going to turn open flames on the wall/swing engines around from the hoist into the conduit etc etc. Above said, I don't believe there's any capacities stated for T&E in round conduit mind...

Unless he's banned Chris will be along on here soon to give us all his wisdom, I sure.

Didn’t he call us all a bunch of old woman Or something...
Hardly worthy of a ban

@Dustydazzler I'm not saying he was banned but some rant of a post about me was removed. Anyhow, I like my feline side

That is without doubt the ugliest wiring job I have ever seen. What is going to happen when you want to put a bench along one of those walls? you are going to have a 20mm gap between the bench and the wall.
Most of the outlets are up high, the logical and neatest way would be to go over the top and drop down the cavity of the wall. that way all wiring is hidden. you would only have the ones under the windows and the heater outlet that required conduit, but I would pop a sheet of plywood off the wall to run those wires. there is no reason why all those wires couldn't be hidden behind the walls.

There is a huge difference between a tradesman and a handyman.

At least he showed willing, Unlike another Youtube Nagy wannabe - N Bundy who uses Copex with saddles. Chris even mentions this at the start of the Vid.

A workshop I would of done in a Steel conduit. Depending on equipment maybe even previsions on Stop buttons and DOL starters.

Let's be serious. There are perfectly good wall cavities there, why would you use any conduit at all? Conduit doesn't only look terrible, it is going to derate the cable.
Be professional and put the cables where they belong.... out of sight.
