You missed a step! You have to test it against your chest and yell, "found a stud" first 😉.
Great video - thanks 😁
Haha, I missed that opportunity, didn't I?
It's probably best to limit my dad jokes to 1 per video. 🤔
As a middle-aged dad myself, that was going to be my suggestion as well! It's pretty much mandatory.
I feel like this video also leaves out the part where the stud finder seems to erratically indicate studs every 4-6 inches, but not with any consistency. At least that's how every stud finder I've owned seems to work.
Haha, I figured max of 1 dad joke per video is more than enough. I have had good luck with the Dewalt studfinder, although I do even say in the video not sure how well the AC detector works. 👍
Came here to make sure he did that. I'm a little disappointed.
This is as required 1st step as snapping grill tongs a few times before use. :)
I came here for the dad joke and wasn’t disappointed.
This comment was literally what came to my mind after he said the joke lol
Hhaahahha same. Ik he was gonna crack it😂😂
Xox
I mean fair but he did it wrong you need to put the stud finder up against yourself.
I already knew how to do this, but I watched anyway because you're delightful.
Thanks Joseph! :0)
Me too:)
I feel this
Same.

Random facts about why it's called a 2 by 4 is exactly what I would expect from a dad explaining something 😂
right?? that's like my favourite part of this it's so human and not all youtube-y. Like "hey son point this flashlight here and i'll tell you something neat"
+
my irl father explained that to me
In the old days, they actually were 2x4. My old house is being renovated, and all the old studs inside the walls were actually 2x4. The lumber mills keep making the boards smaller, bit by bit, because they're cheap.
As a social worker who works with kids aging out of foster care, I totally appreciate what you're doing here and I'm sharing with everyone I know.
As someone without a dad, we appreciate it more than you'd know
I'm studying for my BSW right now, that's an incredible idea! Thanks for everything you do Jiselle.
This is absolutely what we need in this period of social distancing. I admire people who can find loop hole around things
Oh. I was in fostercare my whole life. And I aged out. I had a really tough time by myself at 18 in an apartment. I could have used “dad, how do I ?” 😭😭😭.
It sends chills up my spine to think of what happens to kids who age out like that.
I'm so glad you mentioned that thing about 2x4s, I've always been confused about why they were called that when they clearly weren't actually 2 by 4 inches.
Same! I had no idea!!
Back in the day 2x4 used to be actually 2x4 sized. As time went on it’s now down to it’s size today.
You're a dad to many children now, congrats Pops
Tradition requires that you use your stud finder on yourself and say “found it” prior to locating the studs in your walls
I just found your channel, and as a 20 something with poor relations with my parents.... I'm so so grateful that you took the time to make these videos!!! Thank you so much! And I loved the dad jokes:)
Thanks for the encouragement Madison. 😊
Me too! You're an awesome dad
A good dad joke is a wholesome start to the day. 👌
I lost my dad almost 5 years ago. Thank you for this. Not the tips, even though I'm sure I'll need something soon, just for being here. Seriously, thank you ❤️
Very nice said, hope He will read it sometime
Short. Simple. Effective. Entertaining. Those words I'd use to describe this video, keep this going!
Real Dads start this lesson pointing it at themselves making beeping noise
It's people that make videos like this that almost restores my faith in humanity. Thank you sir.
Glad there’s good people like this man in the world
As a single mom of teen boys, finding your channel was such a huge win. Thank you.
I love how you start your videos by saying “Okay, today I’m gonna show you how to...” ❤️
I got a little teary eyed when I found your page bc I really miss my dad. I wish he was here to teach me these things.
I am 30 years old and still learn so much from your videos. Thank you for this gift!
Thank you so much! I lost my father when I was 13 and being the oldest in an all female family, I had to try to do a lot of things on my own. Thank you for being everyone's awesome surrogate-dad and teaching me things my dad didn't get the chance to.
I'm almost 32 years old and I get emotional, when I watch your videos. Thank you so much for the help. ❤
As an adult that grew up without a dad, I apréciate this SO MUCH! Thanks dad!
Hey, I'm just checking out your channel, and you know what a lot of people don't get taught is to flush their water heater! It's very important, super simple, yet so intimidating, so it would be a great subject for a video, I think.
Wait, what? Like for real?
That’s a thing😳
I don’t even know what that is but it sounds important so I agree I would also like to see a video lol
@@ot1040 I grew up in apartments, so when I got my house, I had to learn the hard way when black stuff started coming out of my taps! Very important stuff.
Actually, this is debatable as to the benefits. Periodically draining and refilling a modern water heater may cause extra strain on the unit and shorten its lifespan. However, it may be useful to do if it goes without any use for an extended period of time (e.g. coming back from a month-long vacation where sediment has accumulated on the bottom of the tank).
I tear up watching these never had a dad teach me and its so frustrating trying figure this out alone thank you so much
Haha omg. "If you came here looking for a boyfriend that's a different stud finder" 😂 love this!
i know most of these are like quote ‘guy’ things but my dad lives in a different state and doesn’t reach out too much, so learning how to do these things, is important and good to know.
Thank you so much for this channel my dad is in my life he just doesnt care for me so its nice to look this channel up and atleast be able to think i have a dad who is willing to help me
Thank you so much
My dad used to be able to do all of this, but his health doesn’t even let him drive anymore. I’m about to hang up my tv and I really needed this. Thanks!! 🥺
thanks so much for making these videos! as an adult with no kids, that really didnt have a dad to teach me anything, i appreciate it and i know a lot will as well
You're the Dad i've always wanted. i'm not even interested in how to use a stud finder. I'm just here to see Dad.
The stud finder joke was what I needed to get my day going😂
Hey dad. I just saw this channel on your kid’s FB page and just wanted to say well done!
Thanks for the encouragement Guj! :0)
The dad jokes are a small price to pay for a lifetime of knowledge. Thanks Pop!
This video has really taught me a lot. I like watching these because it’s advice that I really need. Thanks, dad !!
Thanks Danbi, glad it is helpful. :0)
I'm lucky to have a wonderful father that I love, and you sir give me that "good loving dad" vibe that I grew up surrounded by. Your videos warm my heart and I'm glad the internet has found you. Sending much love from Argentina :)
I came here cause my dad had an old stud detector and didn't know how to use it, but now he does
Thanks a lot! 🙏
Thank you for this video, I’ve had a stud finder for years, but I didn’t know how to use it. Now I feel like I can hang my pictures up!
Man. You're the best. I lost my dad almost 4 years ago. I'm 34, I already know all of this, I live alone since I'm 21. But I watch every single video of yours. Because you are so like my dad. Its nice to project that onto someone. Thanks for everything.
You must know that you're growing a community that, at your ask, will give everything to help you. Cheers to that.
I give you a long a strong virtual hug.
My dad was always too impatient and too much of a perfectionist to teach me any of this. I now muddle through in my own house. You're now my TH-cam Dad, thanks for the vids!
So cute how dad starts his videos with “okay!” Love so caring
I love my dad but he's the kind of guy where you ask for help with one tool like this and next thing you know its 4 days later, you know everything there is to know about hydroponics, and how an RC engine works, but you still have no idea what a stud finder does. Im super appreciative of these straight-forward "get er done" videos.
I just bought a house on my own and have to fix all types of things! I’m looking forward to your videos. Thanks so much for sharing knowledge!!
Michelle Brassart congratulations on the new house. I’m sure Dad is really proud of you as well!
I don’t have a stud finder-nor do I need one-but now I want to look for studs. Thanks, internet dad!
I remember when you're channel first came out I would watch it all the time, and it's nice to know even 2 years later you're videos are still helping me, thank you much
This guy is DOPE!!!
That's ok , your a prick with ears
I love everything that you are doing here. You are making the world, and many lives, better.
For some reason Im finding myself liking these videos before they even start... 😁
I have a great dad but have already learnt so much from watching a few of your videos. That you for sharing and also being such a great internet dad to so many people!!
Great idea/name for a how to channel. Lots of us men and women out there never got to learn how to fix things as a kid..and lots of kids dont have a dad..good old you tube to the rescue. Now you have both with this awesome Dad.
i love your videos, man. even when i know what I'm doing, i still check in with you to make sure i didn't miss any steps. it helps to boost my confidence.
I can’t begin to tell you what an incredible job you are doing. A lot of these things I just never learned growing up, but you explain things in a way that doesn’t make me feel guilty for not knowing. Thank you and I can’t wait for more content!
I learned so much from this short video. I have a dad, but he's never taken the time to teach me these types of things. Thank you for being there.
you’re so genuine. I love how you are receiving the hype you deserve!
I just subscribed to you. My dad left when I was 11, so this is awesome you do this to teach all of us fatherless ppl. Thank you so much. It really means a lot.
Can you mount a tv next? Ha ha thank you!
Love what you're doing man, keep it up. You're the dad alot of kids never had.
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I went years without knowing how to use one. I'd hit the button before I put it to the wall and the thing would beep like it was flat-lining. It wasn't until late last year, after I had bought another one because mine was "broken", that I realized that you had to put the sensor against the wall first so it would calibrate itself. It makes so much sense now.
Thanks for all your videos.
I don't have a Dad. Thankyou for giving me the experience! And teaching me how to use the stud finder
never did i think i’d be crying while watching a video of a dad using a stud finder
Thank you for making this a separate video, I was indeed just looking for the stud finder content and not the full shelf hanging.
All these things I didn’t know how to do. And it was hell trying to figure it out myself. And exhausting mentally. I wish I found you a couple years ago. Would have made my owning a house journey. A lot easier. And less stressful. I hope you keep teaching us things ❤️❤️.
Thank you so much for these. Youve saved me 1,000s of dollars teaching me to do things myself. Love and light to you. ❤
I love the dad joke. So great. This is super helpful content !
I just found your channel and I want to cry it makes me so happy. I am always so jealous of my friends with dads that teach them these things. I can't wait to watch every video. Thanks for calling me your kid ❤️😭❤️
I never knew what a stud finder is until we moved in our apartment recently. Thank you for explaining it :)
I can’t believe you are so kind to take time out of your day to do this, I literally cried watching this
You are becoming an internet fenomenen! Thank you so much!
I think it is WONDERFUL you're doing these videos. After my Mom died when I was 12, my father sort of checked out until I moved out.
I see you already have videos on Car Maintenance thankfully, but maybe find somewhere if you haven't to mention something that I didn't learn/deduce in time - A car CANNOT BE LEFT TO SIT FOR TOO LONG without being driven! (Now it seems obvious to me, but as that was something no one ever told me about... I let mine sit and it didn't cross my mind how bad it could be.)
As a guy who grew up without a father to teach him this stuff, this is well appreciated. New subscriber!
He’s such a pure soul ❤ I wish I had a dad like him
So glad there is someone like you doing something like this. I wish This was around when I was growing up.
I LITERALLY *JUST* HAD THIS QUESTION. I stood in Home Depot looking at the shelves and stud finders, and I realized I didn’t know what I was doing. I call two different people for help (they weren’t very helpful). Glad to have found you ❤️.
I don't even need to find a stud. It's just so comforting to watch him "Dad" that I gotta get my fix in. My dad was never around to "Dad."
I lost my dad to cancer when I was 10 but he left when I was 2 so I’m missing a lot of this I will definitely be watching all these vids...thank you this is great!😁 -🇨🇦😎🖖✌️
My dad always talked about finding a stud in the wall when hanging up my shelves. Never asked but always wondered what a stud was. This was a useful video, thanks.
I'm a New subscriber! I may be a gal, but I've always wanted to be more useful around the house and with the car so I want to learn. Looking forward to more lessons!
I might not watch all the videos of you but Subscribed just because you seem like a genuine good human being. Thank you for what you are doing. Much love from Maldives 🇲🇻 :)
I’m estranged from my dad and these videos have helped a lot! I now know how to find a stud, fix most of the shit in my bathroom, and shave my face in case I ever grow a mustache! 🤣 thank you for taking the time to make these. You’re a good dad.
I JUST bought that exact one to hang plant shelves in my first home and realize my boyfriend and I were using it so wrong 😂😂 thanks dad!!
I'm a 17 year old female and I have never met my father not have a had a suitable"father figure" in my life up to this point so I appreciate and and enjoy what you are doing here on this channel 😊😊😊
you're the coolest pls keep uploading i love this channel 🥺
My dad passed away recently, thankyou for providing help for things I would've asked him for help with!
I’m clicking on every video for the dad jokes lmaoo!
Thanks so much, dude! my dad's a real pos and asking him to teach me something usually involved having to listen to him curse, mumble about how useless I am under his breath, and then just him doing it himself without showing me anything. I generally have to figure shit out myself. your explanation was concise, easy to follow, and I finally understand how to get the thing to do the thing. 👍
😂 Yup Dad joke didn’t disappoint! Thanks & cheers! ✌️☯️😎
I found this channel through instagram and i needed to subscribe immediately because i grew up without a dad from birth thank you for creating this channel
This is helping me find confidence. Dad passed when I was a baby. Over protective mom is afraid of me doing things like this. Iam feeling not so judgemental about my abilities anymore. I want to learn. I want to be independent. Thank you Mister Dad for these videos.
I specifically offered up a prayer he would do the "stud" joke before watching this and he did not disappoint.
Can’t wait to watch more, show us everything! Reorganize your channel and make a car series and a home series and a bathroom series to try and fit more tips and tricks in!
I’m actually trying to figure out where the stud is. But good thing I came across with your video! I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you for what you do! 🙏🏼 God bless!
Thank you so much! I know it’s something simple but I was never taught this. Good to remember when I’m hanging stuff.
Thank you.... you helped me hang a utility shelf in my garage today.
This made me cry. Thank you. 💕
I literally learned how to put on shelves because of you. Thank you
That dad joke gave me a good chuckle! Great video!
How did I JUST find this channel?! My dad was absolutely not a DIY person , but my mom was. However, she did things the quick way and not the right way (our swing set was as level as a marble). So glad I found this :)
You are such a help to so many. Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate this I’m 15 and it sucks sometimes not having a dad please keep making these
Thanks for all you do. Dads rule!
I appreciated that Dad joke 😂
Came here to learn about stud finders, also learned that 2x4 is actually 1.5x3.5 ... thanks for the knowledge! I'll need that eventually 😊
DONT FORGET that other stud finders work differently! Some will only beep when it's on the EDGE of a stud, so you have to come at it from both sides! LPT :)
