  • Nathan demonstrates a sanding kit with different profiles on it to make hand sanding easier; Heath clarifies the temperature rating system for ceiling lights and then installs one for a homeowner; Mark explains the purposes and uses for different types of trowels; Tom and Kevin build a tool storage shelf out of leftover lumber from other Build It projects.

    Testing a Specialty Hand Sanding Kit. Nathan demonstrated the 20 piece Hand Sanding Block Set - Hook and Loop Interchangeable Assorted Shapes, which is manufactured by Tool Guy Republic and can be found through online retailers.
    How to Safely Replace a Ceiling Light. Heath clarified that a home with older wiring should be checked by an electrician before a new ceiling fixture is installed. Cable marked with ""NM-B"" complies with modern code and can handle fixtures up to 90o C, whereas ""NM"" cable or any older wiring should use fixtures rated up to 60 oC.
    Heath installed the 12"" Oil Rubbed Bronze 2-Light Ceiling Light, manufactured by Hinkley Lighting.
    Expert assistance with this segment was provided by Eaton and Eastman Electric.
    How to Choose a Masonry Trowel. Mark demonstrated a variety of masonry trowels, which were all manufactured by The Bon Tool Company.
    Build It | Tool Storage Shelf. Tom built the tool storage cabinet out of leftover materials from previous Build It projects, including 3/4-inch oak plywood, 1x12-inch select pine, and 1/4-inch birch plywood. These can all be found at home centers and lumber yards if you don't have enough material in your scrap pile.
    To cut the boards to the correct dimensions, Tom used a TS 55 circular saw from Festool. He then secured everything together using GRK #9 2-inch multi-purpose screws from GRK Fasteners and some wood glue from Gorilla Glue.
    The kit that Tom and Kevin referenced and used as inspiration for their tool storage organization was the M18 18V Cordless Combo Tool Kit by Milwaukee Tool.

    So many of use want great tool storage, but you built you great storage with tools that are not included and most can't afford. We all want Festool but is out of reach.

    • @MichaelDawson03
      @MichaelDawson03 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I understand your point, but not all of those tools are completely out of reach. Yes, Festool's were used, and I would imagine it was because they sponsor the show, or that the show can afford some of the best. I own all the tools that they used in the video, including some of the brands they used. However, some of my tools are are more budget friendly. And I have zero Festool's in my collection. Almost all of that build could be done with the simple Milwaukee kit that Tommy purchased. If you do away with the rounded fingers, the Jig Saw could have been replaced with the circular saw. You could even cut the dado's with the circular saw and not use a router. It would be more time consuming, but it could be done.

    Hey Ask TOH, can you come out and help me install a bathroom light/vent fan in a 70yr old home? Because no one wants to take this one, not even me! LOL...(bathroom has the vanity mirror lights but older BX that hot goes to fixture and switch is just the on/off (instead of hot to switch, then to fixture). Also I believe code needs GFCI to the fan as it has light and above shower/tub area.

    As a life long sparky I would run the ground wire from luminare to ground wire from the MNB cable. Never trust screws that if only become slightly loose and a short occurs a large spark could be produced starting a fire. Remember no such thing in NEC book as a ligjt fixture. Also one of my CEU inspectors always tell us that bulbs go into the ground and lamps go into a luminare.

    So 2- 6 to 8 watt LED bulbs inside a housing, with insulation with a radiant barrier on it could make wires heat up too much. I call such bullshit on that.
    Now I get it, someone could technically screw in a couple 150 watt incandescent bulbs into it, but no one should have to replace the wiring for something someone may do somewhere down the line which is first buy bulbs that they do not sell anymore, and then cram them into a tiny fixture.

      If that fixture had integrated LEDs, and therefore no possibility for incandescent bulbs, then you're right, there wouldn't be a need to replace any wiring. In fact, the homeowner could have just screwed in an LED bulb to their old fixture. Likely they wanted the look of the one that they chose, and since it still has Edison medium-base sockets, both the fixture manufacturer and the pro electrician (Heath) have to account for the possibility of incandescent bulbs and the radiant heat that they give off. Thus, he had to replace the wiring, or at least, the first 18 inches of it from the fixture.
