As a man, women in these comments need to stop putting themselves down. You don’t need a man to help you with appliances and stuff, you’re smart enough and capable. Don’t let sexist ideas prevent you from completing tasks. If I ever have a daughter, she’ll be taught to be capable of independence and to ignore sexist ideals.
As a transgender, men should not tell what what women do
@@sunnydeo123 okay a trans person calling themselves “a transgender” is unlikely, but I’m wondering what your comment has to do with my comment.
@Heyden Jaye I am transgender so I don't go by reasoning I go by emotion. My pronouns are pur/fur
@@sunnydeo123 okay? And what? What does that have to do with my comment?
I am going to sleep good night
This is the best tutorial I’ve ever watched. I can’t say enough about how good this was
This is like play school for adults lol I love your tutorials! Something easy I can actually follow along with!!
Very good and informative. As a former mechanical engineer I still found this useful as I have never gone into a brick wall before. (until later on when my masonary drill bits get delivered) 😁😎
This is brilliant! Extremely clear explanation at just the right pace for me. The masking tape tip was incredibly useful!
love the smile, she look like a nice person
Probably the best instructional video I've seen , so good at explaining everything and at a good pace to allow time to take in the information.
Thankyou I was looking to learn this to put up something at my nans for her :)
This is excellent, thank you
I just subscribed! This tutorial is amazing! It was just perfectly paced and enjoyable. Thank you! I will watch the other videos! I’ve been scared of my drill for a long time. Feel like I can do it after watching your instructions.
You saved my day. I had been working for 30mins and tried this and was one in 5mins. Thank you Thank you.
Excellent stuff. I’ve learned a lot from these videos. Thank you!
This is wonderful! Very clearly presented and explained - will help a lot of people.
I’m a 65-year-old retired man who taught school all my life, only now am I enjoying a new phase, learning minor home repair and construction projects. Thank you! Your style of teaching is amazing and ideal!
Anyone who’s wondering I think she’s using dewalt 18V 2.0AH LI-ION XR BRUSHLESS CORDLESS COMBI DRILL also if you want a cheaper alternative dewalt make a brushed version of this
Thankyou so much! This is just what I needed. The perfect explanation and wonderful visuals/ person to explain! :D
Thank you, an excellent video, just what I needed to learn. The choice of music is great, but I personally find it that the simultaneous speaking and music is a bit stressful. I once used a drill to make a hole in a wall of concrete to fasten a screw for hanging a painting. I did not put the concrete drilling mode on, just average drilling. I made a horrible hole to the wall. I just wondered why it did not drill through. Inexperienced and I was a fool.
Great Video!!! Straight to the point and informative.
I just love this.. the how to.. the music.. this is exactly what I needed to know when a man’s not around!
No u
Omg thank you so much! Drilling into walls has been an actual fear of mine for years as I had no idea what I was doing. You made this sound so simple!
Excellent video Helen. I used an ordinary drill to do this but, despite a lot of effort and changing bits, was only able to drill a couple of holes less than 1 inch in depth. Found out afterwards I need a drill with hammer capacity. Wish I'd seen your video before I bought the drill.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS SO HELPFUL YAYYYYYYYY😁😁
I love you
Thanks
I just moved into a house with brick walls and using command strips but I needed this.... because of u I'm ready to decorate ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can listen to her tell stories all day. I would fall asleep so fast...
I only a bloke and have done a wee bit of DIY. The presentation was very cler and informative.
And watching a strong woman like u makes me understand How heros like Allen Iverson was raise!!!
Thank you so much for this..That was very helpful❤
Thank you very much Miss! i learn the drill plus, the traditional way to make classic soul clap chorus singing ! 😆 which i m a chinese i never have a chance to learn those ! thx !!!
🌺🌿🌺🌷🌺🌺💐🌺🌷🦚🌿
I just hung like 50lbs blinds into brick so thanks 😂 all because I you I feel so accomplished
I came across this channel because I was looking to do a simply DIY install of some racks and maybe even curtain bars. I didn't grow up in a stable home or with parents/people that were in a place to teach me these things so never learned any of this and want to just overcome that and become more handy myself. I'm so glad I found this channel - youtube is a great resource but I find it a bit intimidating sometimes being a young and extremely inexperienced woman trying to crack into this stuff!! Thank you!!
Nice videos...thank you.. 🙂
Very good, informative video. Well presented and produced.
Lovely, I even liked the red plug and black screw motif on the white washed brick. Absolutely beautiful tutorial. Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you! Btw you have green and purple aura.
Am absolutely loving this. thank you.
Helens vid.eos have helped me so mucn. Many thanks Helen you are wonderful. Love Christine
5:18 did they added the pencil sound effect?
A quick question whilst I'm here, I drilled 4 holes into an internal solid wall for shelf brackets, but the holes are a bit off even though I marked it correctly. I now need to drill another 4 holes slightly higher and to the left. How far apart do the holes need to be from the first set of holes to avoid weakening the new drilled holes?
Also, any advice for drilling holes accurately without the drill bit wondering off? I'm thinking off using a much smaller drill bit first and then working my way upto the 8mm bit that I need. Thank you kindly.
Thanks. This was very handy. My first drilling into a concrete wall
Thank you so much. I have a drill and had difficulty using it on a brick wall. I'm going to try again tomorrow-putting up a a basic curtain rail in my daughter's bedroom. I feel so empowered and excited... Even learnt some new skills. Thank you, this means so much to me as a single mother and showing my daughters they can do basic DIY!!! I was going to pay a handy man to do it, but I can do it myself.... now 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 please do more tutorials for those who lack confidence
Criminal for this channel to not have more subscribers. Thank you guys for all your help and education
Brilliant! Ta Helen.
Loved watching this video!
Empowering women!
Very informative! I’m gonna give it a try-thanks! 😃
Thank you for this! I've just ordered my first 20 volt cordless drill and I came here just for this. You did a good job explaining this and I can hardly wait until my drill arrives to try this out 🤗
How amazingly presented. Such a good tutorial!
Thank You for the Brilliant Video, its well explained, & very Informative 10/10 Look forward to more of your Great Videos, I've subscribed to your Channel
Peace & Love 🤗💖
My drill doesn't have a hammer mode. I can't afford to buy another drill. I'll try this with just a standard drill.
Thank you! Simply and calmly described!
My go to video for drilling into walls. Thanks so much 🙌
Thank you for such an informative and useful video :).
How do I take caution for the pipelines/wiring in the wall?
Use a stud finder and never drill above the electrical socket.
Just hope u don’t hit one
Thank you so much for this video its brilliant
Wiring for sockets/switches/whatever SHOULD be routed in a straight line directly above, below, or to the side of the component. It shouldn't go diagonally, but it could go horizontally or vertically any distance.
Wiring zones are just the rook in chess, I guess. As in chess, try to avoid drilling into the path of a rook.
I love this video 😍
Well explained and very simple, thank you.
Best tutorial ever! You're a gem and a natural. Keep it up! Will be giving it a go this weekend. Ps if I don't have a hammer option, can I just keep drilling?
Brilliant video! Everything clearly and calmly explained.
Will it be loud or is it recommend to do in the morning?
Really good video. Simple examples. Perfect.
ممكن اعرف موصفات واسم المثقاب وكام ڤولت حتي اشتري مثله وشكرا علي هذا المحتوي الجيد والمفيد ❤
Thanks ! This is the best video I have seen for someone like me who have no experience on drilling.
Thank you Helen! I feel ready to drill into a brick wall. This was such a good tutorial.
Just put up a round shelving units using this tutorial and never been shown how to drill etc. Thank you so much for this 💕
Definitely didn't know about the technique after drilling a whole for the plug SMH. Thanks for the video because i had it all wrong
Great video. Easy to understand, clear and to the point! Thank you.
Thank you Helen. This is such a great video :)
I cant get into my brick wall at all. have a 710 watt drill , masonry bit and still cant hang up my cabinet. 6 months I have tried to get a handy man over to do this quick job with no luck. They wont come over unless they have half a days work to do. so frustrating
Best tutorial ever
Thank you so much for this :) So helpful and thorough!
Your drill should have a hammer mode, and your drill bit should be for concrete. Great Video, Thank you
Please give me your drill coz I can’t afford that my dream to get a cordless power drill like yours but……..
Interesting that you didn't specifically use a masonry bit...
These so-called male trades such as using power tools, knowing electronics, mechanics, etc, is far more useful in society than those female hobbies of cooking, cleaning, sewing, that at a young age women should be taught the basics of using power tools, hardware, etc. as well as business.
Great tutorial. i don't think there was mention of the drill bit needing to be a masonry bit though. To anyone planning on doing any drilling. You need to be aware of any live wires, gas, water pipes or anything else. You will want to use a detector or other method to make sure you're not drilling through live wire or water pipes!
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing
Very useful, thanks!
Thank you for this. The amount of videos I've seen where a guy just drills into the wall with no info on checking the wall itself is way too high
Thank you sister God bless you
What brand of drill is that that lets you switch from regular drilling to hammer drilling?
With my drill, I haven't been able to drill into a wall that sounds like cement or metal beneath.
Thanks ma'am, I love your presentation, such a nice spirit.
this is the most inspired i've been in many years
Wo! This was so good! Thank you!!
If you need to put up wooden facia onto bricks can you drill through the wood too? To match up holes.
Thank you Helen very impressive and simple technique. Ive been struggling when their was no need to struggle. How easy was that. Thank you again sis
Because you had bits that could’ve been used in the drill you didn’t need a screwdriver jfyi
Is the drill size and screw size shown in cms or inch? what will be the drill bit size in mm if the scews and wall plug are 1and 1/2 inch long?
M pretty sure most of the viewers ended up buying a red T shirt and the Black gown thing
As other people have said below, very clear, easy to understand, it's such a helpful approach.
great job....video was useful to me...thanks
This is sometimes wrong a combi drill like This sometimes won’t work and you’ll need to use an sds drill
Please suggest drilling machine for wall and plywood
Thank you. Beautifully done!!!
This woman gv the best instruction video. Thank you
Honestly? Best tutorial ever... please please please keep doing what you're doing. Absolutely fab
Are there different types of raw plugs? The one I have at home is grey… will that work
Is it okay to drive the screw into the wall plug with the drill?
"Dont drill near a plug socket". No other video on the internet will tell you this life saving info
Honestly I'm here just for the comedy.
