Electrickery 101 course

[Olazz]

Now I can fly rotary, I have a Yachtmaster ocean ticket, am a pretty decent shot, I can ride a horse, I can strip and rebuild a motor, I can cook, hell, I even know how to knit.... but bugger me if I get car electrics!

Now I know I am not the only one here who cries help about this topic, so there must be scope for a days basic training for a group of us.

I'd be very happy to sponsor a day coffees lunch etc if someone would volunteer to do the training.

Happy for you all to come to my place and do the training day.

Anyone up for doing a basic electrickery course?

Fault finding
Using a meter
understanding relays
work arounds
common electrical issues
alternator rebuilding

PS. happy to sponsor a day anywhere else that's convenient for more to attend

Id be up for that

Attending that is.

 

[Marius De Kock]

Me too.

 

[Crispin]

I'll be happy to take part as a "shower". Not done anything in the way of fixing specific things or have a set course I could show but happy to go through a set of "how do I?..."s
Did electrical engineering way back when and still tinker with it so not afraid of trying to solve problems with it.

God knows I could do with some guidance on this topic so I'd be game!

JW ??
Chris??
Tony P?

 

[Ben]

Id love to learn more about auto electrics. So im in.

 

[Olazz]

OK I'll start adding names to the OP above

 

[Crispin]

Maybe split the list, that way someone else (I can rattle off a few names) will feel sorry for me being all alone as a "teacher" and step up and take some of the pressure off?

 

[MikeA]

I am keen to attend. Not to teach but to try and learn something

 

[ram]

I don't know nothing about electrics so i'll def. like to do this
could you please add my name as well
thanks.

I don't mind being on the teaching team, I was just going to wait and see if someone better suited or qualified volunteered. The main problem I would have is understanding how to convey what the teaching team know to those who don't. I know stuff but I'm not a teacher. You ask how to use a meter? I say switch it on! isn't going to be very helpful

 

[SpinDrift]

I know a little about electrics but would be interested in attending to learn some more.

 

[TonyP]

Yup I am happy to help too.... have a electronic background from a few years ago, but to be honest not sure I am a teacher type of person. I am sure though between us we could pull the basics of how things work and explain them.....

 

[Chas]

Just got home and seen this, count me in chaps, I'm a qualified electrician, that's installation electrics, but I know sod all about car electrics.

 

[ModelMakerMan]

Maybe this would be something for Lincomb in May?

 

[Andrew Brierley]

Very interested. Happy with basic electrics and know how to use a meter, but car electrics can be baffling...

 

[Ben]

Maybe this would be something for Lincomb in May?

I will probably miss out then.

 

[Olazz]

Maybe this would be something for Lincomb in May?

No, too far away. If possible would be good to do this in the next month if peoples plans allow.

I was going to suggest Sat November 17th as a possible date.
