I thought when connecting standed to copper wire it was required to lead the stranded alittle longer than the copper when applying the wire nut, is that not true? He did not do that..
Thanks a bunch for great Electric education! But what happens sometimes the lights flicker can u make another video ? And how to tell a good electrician? What do I look for ?
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.
Butt Joints ? Your butt shouldn't be smoking joints , no but seriously that's a nice build on this tool & storage shelves , good job Tommy & Kevin ! 👍😊🛠
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.
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.
HELLO I thought I seen it all what in the world does someone need a whole tool belt just to change a light filter when the only thing that you need is two scewdrivers a Phillips and a straight very funny
@@bmac1629 Right, he said at the start of the segment that the tools are representative of the homeowner/DIYer who buys a kit of tools but doesn't have proper storage for them. Tommy typically uses Festool tools for his work.
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.
@@benjaminrobinson3466 Yes, look at th-cam.com/video/dXQFVhRisnU/w-d-xo.html this timestamp, you can see it there. It is much thinner and cut much shorter because they just ground it to the metal box.
I rather have the old cloth nm cable and use the leds than add junction boxes( never add junction boxes unless absolutely necessary) especially when the electrician twists the wires together with his fingers.
As much as I like tommy I do not want him make bookshelves and stools and I’m willing to bet the majority would rather they help out another home owner than watch him turn bowls!
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.

Heath brought the cables through the floor and into the bottom of the junction box in that crawl space. That's an A+ install in my opinion.
Agreed. 😁

The tool cabinet is awesome! Trying to wait for wood prices to drop so I can build one in my garage
Excellent, as always.
Attaching fixtures is always having the the fixture dangling by a wire until you finish the rest of the wires
Start with the ground wire and let it hang from that.
Si ponen los capítulos en español , tendrán muchos más seguidores ! Muy buena información !
That duck bill trowel...my mom had one of those. She frosted cakes with it. Now I've got a lot of questions.
I would have added a towel rod for shop towels or the trash bags at the bottom
Nice sanding blocks
12:50 those would be great for serving pizza
Or cake...
I mean, a new one, sure.

Good video, very helpful in each section.
Always interested in tool storage ideas 👌
You gotta strip more of that stranded cable. That wire will pull right out.
Thank you
I like the Christmas episode he did on lady house
i would like Tom to put my life together
Good stuff here thanks
Tool storage 😊
Great job 👍
6:58 "The wires don't reach one box..." Ummm, yea they came out of one box LOL
You presume that they were in one box. They could've been spliced together outside of a box.
Kevin @ 19:57, I lol'd.
Wait, i am pretty quick at stripping the jacket of electrical wire but that was super fast, what tool did you use?
He answered my question 10:00 into this video i was wondering the samething

Watching him use a trowel is like watching Ray Manzarek play the piano. You can watch, but it’s not that easy.
8:06 look at that huge gap between the electrical box and attic space. Fire stop caulk or plaster is needed. Another half finished job on ATOH.

Imagine using scrap plywood to make a tool cabinet, instead of selling on the black market it to put your kids through college!
College is overrated.

Wow, those are some connections that guy made with his fingers, who needs pliers I guess.
First story, house built in 1960... Are they not worried about any sort of asbestos dust in the roof?
6:35 Of course there's a convenient crawl space directly above the light fixture. A TOH production wouldn't have it any other way.
It's called an "attic". Most houses have them.
Not above the ceiling of the first floor of a 2-story.
Smaht
17:28. "silently judging Tommy for not having fuel tools but being a contractor"
Oh I wouldnt think these are actually "his tools" lol, just a show prop for the bit.

That will NOT hold all of my tools.
If you think that’s nice let me share pictures of my Knaack boxes. I have a Model 100, (2) model 89s and a 4824.
So I’m curious where Heath got his equipment ground from as that old 2 wire romex doesn’t have one
That wasn’t 2 wire romex. If you look closely you can see there is a ground wire. It’s a much smaller wire though.
@@WingingItDIY there was a ground in the cloth jacketed romex ?
@@benjaminrobinson3466 it’s too bad we can’t rewind TH-cam videos to check.

That cabinet is worth about $8090 of lumber in today's prices. Ain't nobody building that.

incandescent bulbs are still being sold
Anyone who puts a high-wattage incandescent bulb in a light fixture deserves to have their house burn down.
(Okay, just kidding -- not really. 😜)

@@WheresHerb Yeah sure, it "worked", without any overload protection on that circuit at all...
Totally unnecessary with that wiring.
