Only tip I'll make is: when replacing a power plug, always cut the ground wire about a ¼" or so longer than the other wires. That way, when the plug gets yanked out of the wall by the cord...the safety of the ground wire is maintained even if the Common wire is pulled out. This will keep you from becoming the ground path for the Hot wire if you accidently touch something that is grounded (plumbing, metal framing, etc..).
smart idea. I'll remember that. thanks.
This is actually helpful advice why can’t all the YT electricians be like you?
I replied just to boost your comment😁
Great Point!
Great piece of advice.
“Planning is not my strong suit” sounds about right for every superintendent i have ever dealt with 😂
Now that was just mean,
Wranglerstar 😂😂😂 you know im joking... or am i?
you're an electrician aren't you. ;)
BIZKIT hell no! Metal framer and drywaller
Allen MUllis that gave me a good laugh !
Love this saying. "If you make it out of steel, make it pretty, because it's going to be ugly for a long time."
jeff is a lucky guy to have a neighbour like you. i do like it when people come together to help one and other. doesnt take a workbench necessarily but help is always appreciated
I'm learning carpentry with a lad who overtightened a grinder and got bling in his foot for it.
Hearing him describe the ordeal made me wary of those things.
But I'm sure he is happy the scar is on the foot and not the face.
In construction we only hand tighten them. Many of them will even get pissed off at you for making them to tight. If you think of the way the blade is spinning it will auto tight it self up as it grinds the metal.
i was an electrician who cleaned up after himself . Got fired from the union . LOL
if you were fired from the union it wasn't for cleaning up after yourself! period
@@shaggys73 And it must have been well documented too.
Yeah, nah...
You must have worked harder than the others.
@@negativerush Yeah they don't like that .LOL
I love how you find casual ways to sneak your AR into every shot
It's awesome 🤣
its like where's waldo but with the ar lol
It's a workbench, it's always covered in tools. =D
I'm just sad he doesn't have his M203 attached to it! Makes it a lot heavier, not fun to lug around (speaking from experience, lol) :)
@@toysareforboys1 I know that's right.
Every community needs a chap like Cody. Good on you Sir!!!
Another thing with the grinder:
You don’t have to use the wrench to tighten the wheel on, you could just hand tighten the nut then grab the outside of the wheel to tighten it and vice versa to take it off.
Thats what I did for years, never had any issues.
That is what I do as well, have for many years(like 40) have had no problems so far.
That wears the rubber down.
@Sven3xs Yep:)
like a keyless drill chuck? Ouch I think.
Been a subscriber for a while and enjoy reading the comments almost as much as the watching the content and learning a thing or three. I can say you the most wholesome community I’ve seen on UA-cam. I’ve seen a few hateful comments on your channel but just a few.
Wishing u and Mrs. W & family the best
20 year welder here. I dont know anybody that uses the wrench to tighten the grinder nut. I always push in the pin and tighten by hand. The act of using the grinder tightens the nut further.
200 IQ move bud congrats
I worked in a foundry for years do the Same thing.
Huge fan Cody! I have been watching you for about 2 years now and last night I was able to introduce you to my wife. Your marriage videos are great. We are both children of God and want as great of a Marriage as you and Mrs. Wranglerstar have. Keep the videos coming. God bless
There's a reason electrician and magician rhyme, because when you're really good at it, it looks easy.
Ya but at the end of the day it's still dangerous af
Thats awesome made me laugh out loud so true
Very true. This guy has never ran pipe, that's an art.
I was a lineman for 8 years and I later became an electrician because it was a very very easy job.
In conclusion wranglerstar thinks he knows everything
Gotta love the AR standing up right there on the table lol
Frankly I didn't even notice.
Just seems natural to me.
If your kids are not irresponsible, once old enough, your call, then you can leave guns out like that. My kids are fine. But I know some people that should not let their kids even near anything sharper than a butter knife. So sad they didn't train their kids!
Just anther tool in the shop,
Shhhhh... dont tell UA-cam!! Lol
Demonetized
@@wranglerstar Your tool needs a standard capacity feeding device :)
Just love watching you get things done. You remind me of me, you're just much better at explaining what you're doing while you're doing it. I'm also really good at forgetting about a camera so I couldn't imagine making videos every day and keeping up with all your other daily tasks. Keep up the awesome positivity! That's another thing i need to work on.
You need to make your videos longer! They probably seem so short because they are so good but every time at the end of the video i just want to watch more but I've watched most of your videos so I have to wait till the next day. Love the videos! Keep them coming!
Noted,
You’ve got to be kidding, I love watching but get to the point, us type A folks have stuff to do.
@@nathanhudelson4935 a word to the wise is enough. That said if you've got stuff to do you shouldn't be on you tube.
caleb williams true enough lol
I'm a 40 plus year old auto tech and I always enjoy watching your videos and I always learn a lot, especially because I was raised a "city" kid. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for keeping the content rolling. I appreciate you bringing us along for the journey.
I am the consummate welder. Lead in one hand, grinder in the other.
Good men, helping a good man.
My father always told me to work smarter not harder. So I Became an electrician. 19 years in the trade I now work harder and smarter.
Your father: close enough
One of the things I like about welding is that if you cut the stock short you can easily add on what ever you need to make the right dimension. You can do the same with wood, but it is a lot harder to do and is not a seamless fix. Great video, thumbs up.
Listening to you talk about your dad like that made my heart so happy. You are such a wholesome person. Love it
Dude... Your energy... I am not much into being a handy man myself but your passion makes all your videos enchanting. Your son can truly be proud of his dad
it said it was called "Why I'm a Welding Inspector's Worst Nightmare" and it was actually called "jeff bench 2" and I don't know which one is a better title.
A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t.
This is the best You Tube channel! I began watching some of the first videos that really inspired me in many ways. I guess number one is it’s a family friendly in all videos with a wide range of ideas for many walks of life can find something that peaks their interest. And having a spiritual journey makes it even better. Cody, you are blessed to have all your giving subscribers who have offered to help you make your neighbor’s workshop better than it was before. Good neighbors are hard to find especially in large cities. I’m happy for your family. God’s blessings to you and your beautiful family 👍
Thank you Mae, this was very kind of you to say,
as an electrician who does clean up after himself, i will say our trade will generate mass amounts of trash. they even package screws in plastic. we can easily fill a dumpster after unpackaging all the parts. if we didn't clean up it wouldn't take long before we couldn't walk in a room. i've spent many hours hauling trash to the dumpster. i have also found lots of good stuff in there. i like the dumpster on a big job. :?)
Agreed. All the screws and wire nuts. Romex comes wrapped in plastic. All the sheathing stripped from the wire. All the plastic wrappers from switch covers, etc. It's a lot of waste and wasted time.
I’m working as a apprentice right now and I have to agree with you, I’ve dabbled in some other trades, welding, carpentry, dirt work. But I’ve never seen a trade produce as just trash as an electrician, like you said just unboxing shit produces more trash than most people do performing their jobs
Ozark Mountain Hollow I will say him calling electricians out as lacking creativity was quite wrong
You’re channel has really inspired me to make my own channel. I’m brave like you and just showed a weld repair I did on my Estwing knife that I broke. We do the best we can with what we have!
Torqued Up I think you did a great job! But what do I know, I’m a hobbyist like you!
I’m a little disappointed that knife broke on you but that’s a great edge you put on it with the Edge Pro! Loved your video!
Greg Outdoorsman that Estwing definitely takes an edge! I want to see some more about the sharpener!
Did the opinions rain down like arrows?
Wranglerstar lucky for me I got a compliment from a friend of mine who’s dad is a welder. He did scold me for not wearing gloves though lol
That is one SOLID workbench. Good work.
Your doing fine man, I've seen worse from guys who are inspectors but never picked up a torch in thier lives. I think the old adage is "those that can't do teach, those that can don't care". I'm a deep sea guy used to work in the oil industry overseas before I got injured. Going for my inspection licenses as soon as I can. Keep up the great work man it brought a smile to my face many times while in the diving system some where in the world.
Wstar and Mike are total rock stars!!!!!! So blessed and thank you!
7:18 WOW! Cody has Sonar System in his truck! Nice :D
Ha, it's passive as well,
Wranglerstar Awesome! :)
Sounded star trek to me.
@@overclucker My thought exactly.
Cody, I was raised to believe that if you have the ability to help someone you have the duty to do so, and I want to thank you for showing people the importance of taking the time to help your neighbor out.
Cody, it’s so typical of you to jump in to help someone and not only help but go well beyond doing so to make sure this bench is something he will treasure, I love that so many subscribers wanted to help as well, you have created and led us in this very special world of Wranglerstar helping us be be better people, fabricators, family men and Christians, God bless the Wranglerstar clan.
As a bricklayer, I’m offended that you said electricians left the biggest mess.
Love your videos. Great quality. Try make the one that follow on from each other, like the work bench ones, come up next to play. It’s difficult to find which of the videos is next in the series.
The reason an electricians job is skillful, is because every job is different. You have to think about what is needed for the customer. Residential, commercial or industrial. Running a cable from A to B is different every time. And then you have to work within all the rules. Imagine a carpenter that has to be creative and also work within so many rules.
Great to see the optics are covered this time.
Whenever one of your videos pops up I'm sure to watch it, love watching educational content and listening to words of wisdom. Thanks!
one thing i like about you , you seem to be having lots of fun most of the time way to go . well played on the metric comment . point taken
This is a cool build, Cody. I am sure your neighbour will enjoy it. I have been driving past our local scrap metal yard, and they have had similar acrow shelving there, and I have been wondering what I could do with some of that if they are willing to part with it. On the tightening of the angle grinder wheel.. I am not saying anyone is right or wrong regarding their theories, but while I was working in workshops, all the tradesmen always told me was to tighten the wheel up to hand tight, and the force of the motor would do the rest as it spins in the direction it tightens to. In most cases, this also resulted in a wheel that could be easily removed without too much hassle, and I have never had a wheel disintegrate or fall off on me using this method. Keep up the great work
I feel inspired to make myself a bench after watching you make the 2x4 bench and now this one.
Cody your comments on electricians are so on point. No matter where in the world you are electricians think there the bees nees. Im from the west of Ireland we have the same problem of electricians or Leecks, as some they are sometimes referred to, thinking they command the job site. My father was a foreman for many years, he always wanted everything neat and tidy. He has told me many stories of disagreements he had with electricians sub-concracting for him and not cleaning up after themselves. He said most of them were beside themselves when he requested them to cleanup afterthemselves. It amazing the same problem we face here are happening 5000 miles away.
I would agree on you electrical comment speaking for residential electricians and even some commercial but definitely not for industrial. There is so much that goes into factories.
Loving your videos. It's always something new 👍 I especially love the cheap Amazon reviews.
prayers and blessings for you and your family - thank you for the hard work you do with your videos and editing. You are a great guy. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing
I have done home and industrial electrical jobs, and yes once you learn, it is easy for the most part. The hardest part is probably when space is tight, like in boxes or old country houses and so on. Most electricians in my area double down and also do plumbing on new homes, gets 2 birds stoned at once that way.
Yep. My dad was Master plumber and electrician, my oldest brother plumber, another one electrician, and I'm a Master plumber that does a bit of electrical, carpentry, brush cutting, Beaver killing, and whatever else pays 😉
When u use a thick grinding wheel put the lip toward the grinder on the locking piece 1:02. Good video keep up the good work👊
I’ve been an electrician for over 20 years and what you said is pretty much right.
I was a lineman for 8 years and I later became an electrician because it was a very very easy job. 😂
I've worked on voltage so high that air becomes a conductor. Mainly 7,200v and 14,400v.
So 120v and 240v isn't to bad.
Wow! You finally upgraded to a scout light! Not upgrade to a Modlite System OKW 18350 scout light. But I’m happy to see a non pistol light on that rifle!
Love Jeff’s energy and glad he has a neighbor like you.
Love how the AR is a constant in every video 💯✌️🇦🇺
Yes! Had to comment on this: was in the trades for many years and it always torqued me that sparky's could never be bothered to clean up their messes. All the other trades did right to keep a jobsite tidy but those guys.
Boilermakers are probably some of the best welders I've ever seen.
You obviously haven't seen deep sea welders at work then
People that went to Purdue are typically the best at everything they do, not just welding!
@Python 357 hell yeah!
There's two types of boilermakers though, there's tube welders, and then boilermakers who rig, high rig, weld ductwork, condensers, maintain bag houses, and other collectors. 🤣
Ik you haven’t seen Chicago 597 pipefitters 😊
I just bought some J.B. weld, can’t wait till tomorrow to do some J.B. Welding... no visor for me, I am a west coast man.
I work hvac an I cut galvanized sheet metal a lot sometimes even torch it and a tip to if you feel like you have galvanize poisoning drink milk it stops the affects
Have you tried 'cut off discs' on your grinder? I use a 1mm thick one to great effect. Another tip is if you are having difficulty putting wires into a plug because of thickness then don't twist them, Twisting it makes it thicker.
"It takes a brave man to show his welding online" is your quote!
I just watched your video where you welded the brackets for the tool tray in the ballast box and you said the same thing.
anyway, keep up the great work and keep living the dream for us who can't yet.
Looking forward to the plasma torch review.
Its nice that you help a neighbor.
I noticed you have your AR leaned up there with the muzzle pointing up. I was told a few years ago (although I haven’t ever had any problems) that keeping a gun sitting muzzle up can cause oil to run down into the action and gun it up. I used to store my guns that way and never had any problems but it’s a simple thing that could save some headache.
A lot to learn when doing industrial electrical work
Yeah, I over-tightened my thin cutoff wheel on my Dremel tool once. It split in half at high speed and spiked off my orbital bone right below my lower eyelid. At least you're wearing eye protection, but as hard as that little wafer hit me, I'd hate to imagine what a full-sized one could do.
Great to have great neighbours ! Good on you Cody !
It’s coming along nicely! Well done sir!
The problem is that most electrical work is really simple but people still mess it up... electricians just lost hope in people after seeing too many homeowner specials..
I had a blade so stuck on my skillsaw even Hercules couldn't get it off. Ever since then I've put never seize on all the threads of my saws and grinders.
MiJaK123
Just slip an O-ring over the bolt and tighten the blade down on the O-ring and it'll come right off without any problem
Building a $3,499 bench for under 1,000.
That bench is better than some actual shops!
Great video Cody something led me to comment about what you said about people critiquing your work. I work for an OEM truck up fitter/truck pool/ snow plow distributor in northern Colorado. Most of our clients are state or local dealer ships. We have a very high standard for quality here and yes I have seen things that you have done that I would do different but that is just because you don’t work in the trade I do. There is nothing wrong with it now could you benefit from the information I have maybe but I was taught by one of my superiors “if someone doesn’t ask you specifically for advice don’t say anything or you look like a know it all let them learn on their own that is best” which I have learned is the best most of the practical knowledge I feel I e gained is from learning how it works best for me.
Awesome work Cody ! Love it brother. Keep that mk18 close. Excellent job from a lowly “carpenter”....god bless.
Thank you CE,
Hope to grow up and be in the same place as you one day and same amount of knowledge when it comes to trades and construction.
I just found your channel recently and I just want to say I love it I'm trying to go through and watch all your old videos and the new ones coming out really great channel I hope you keep it going for a lot more years thanks 👍👍 Even though I am an EAST COAST BOY LOL 😂
those keyhole mounts by the leg would make a nice removable vice mount if you have extra steel.
Thank you so much for posting you helping me so much during hard times
Do you know Jesus?
Yes sir I have the great holy bible in my nightstand
It’s really just girlfriend problems, her parents etc I love this girl but I don’t know what to do
I have an electrical/electronics degree but I never used it as I work as a tool & die maker; I use cnc machines to make custom molds and fixtures. I couldn't agree with you and your statement more.
I bought a very cheap plasma cutter here in the UK from a German owned supermarket which is really good for the money (though you can see from my review that I do need a better compressor) so I bet yours works fine as long as you don't go too thick.
I put the nut up against the grinding wheel snug, then let the grinder tighten it as it works. The black wire is usually hot, don't let it touch any other wire, especially a red one. Treat every wire as if it is hot until you test it to make sure the polarity isn't faulty, and use only one hand when possible if you know the circuit is live. Easy-peasy.
Wondering if you're going to paint that beauty. Great miniseries Cody!
Making a bench
Inadvertently made a massive community tighten up
Well done W☆
I’m and electromechanical technician in a large factory. I see so many sketchy things electrical wise. Also I do the same darn thing of getting ahead in my head and either overshooting or under shooting what I need when working some projects. I can’t wait for your plasma torch review.
I heard somewhere if you are right handed you mount your vice on the left side of your bench. Is this also something any of you have heard as well?It’s supposed to make things feel more natural and thus faster, this only works if you have enough space to house the materials length on the left end of your bench. Another note on the fiber wheel you may consider wearing your chainsaw chaps just in case you explode one of those wheels at crotch level, doesn’t take much for one to catch and let loose in a hail of shrapnel, your choice.
On electricians, I know three. I played marine electrician (civilian, for the Navy) and years more in electronics. We think differently, after we get into electronics, it seems.
All three of my friend electricians insisted I only needed a hundred amp service for my little woodworking shop (30x60). It has two three horse dust collectors and one two horse one, the usual array of sawdust and chip makers (e.g., cabinet saw, 8: long bed jointer, two bandsaws, etc), HVAC, about thirty-five four foot LEDs, a radio, and a copper plating station.
My friend electricians' assertions are:
1) 240 takes less current; and,
2) I won't be putting that much of a draw on my system.
Mine assertions are:
1) They presume too much and fail to look to the future. That is, they get caught up in the "[c]ode only requires";
2) Each 240 circuit requires two spots on the panel, and those circuits still use about the same wattage (heat); 2) Friends come over and two collectors might run at once, along with a jointer and a table saw, etc.;
3) The HVAC, alone, pushes near the limit of the panel and feed (we have actual climate change - EVERY YEAR since time immemorial, so there are a couple small windows in the year that I don't have to run air or heat). As such, adding even one 15amp run level dust collector and table saw or three horse jointer to the circuit, along with the lights, will push far beyond the capacity of the system.
In short, it seems too many electricians seem to forget people hire them because they are the experts on what they need, and fail to look to the future. For example, will the home owner try to run space heaters off those 14 gauge outlets in the front room? Will someone invent electronics that take us from needing just two outlets for lamps in the whole home (okay, that already happened). Might the people need more lighting in a kitchen, and so on.
Yeah, it costs money, but it's a good idea to point out to people the minimum code requires may mean you cannot do anything more than add a fluorescent or LED. In truth, if it wasn't such a pain, and cost, all my outlets would be ten gauge. It would sure make adding outlets and plugging in another large toy less worrysome.
I have 7 welding certs in 3 different processes, was a fabricator for 20 years. I don't see anything wrong with your welds Cody, will be more than fine for intended purposes. On a side note ; I have done construction site cleanup in between gigs, and I would have to agree with you about Electricians. They don't pick up ANYTHING - if it hits the ground it usually stays there.
Word,
I made a rookie mistake in high school about 3 years ago i went into a scrap metal pile to practice welding, not knowing that what i was welding was galvanized tubing. Until after i showed my friends the beads they said "why did you weld galvanized pipe" to which i said idk i just found it. the next day i felt the sickness hit me HARD, id put it up to the feeling of when you get food poisoning. i learned the hard way to check what im welding lol EDIT: We had air vents for the welding booths which actually probably saved me from a trip to the hospital
You are so lucky to have these friends on your channel. Maybe one day. I will be your friend, too.
As an electrician at a refinery, I have to figure out things all the time. When I get prints from an engineer that hasn’t set foot on the site, there is always something. On the other had most of the carpenters slap up scaffolding all day.
Ya seems like a lot of people don't understand what we actually do. I'm an electrician apprentice
I was a lineman for 8 years and I later became an electrician because it was a lot easier job. 😂
I've worked on voltage so high that air becomes a conductor. Mainly 7,200v and 14,400v.
So 120v and 240v isn't to bad.
Rob Pridemore I’m electrician that works anywhere from 24 volts to 27,600 volts. I do a lot of 480 volt stuff. Other sites I go to are 600 volt. Just do your checks before you put your meat hooks on it and stay safe.
@@travislmcdonald I worked on those voltages live. It's relatively safe as long as you pay attention to where all your body parts are.
Overhang on a table is a MUST especially with a welding table
Iam qualified in both carpentry and joinery and as an Electrician and I can confirm electrical is a piece of cake compared to carpentry and joinery
And I agree with your comments they can’t think out the box and will never clean up after themselves 👉
Waiting on the plasma cutter review. Always wanted one, figured the cheapos were crap. Way to be a good neighbor west coast. I knew you were a good guy despite your geographic shortcomings. I still love seeing those certain things that random show up that we must not speak of in this venue.
Mate, your spot on about sparkies and guards are a bloody nuisance.
Finally, Yes, thank you...
i find your videos relaxing, you always have something cool to teach! Nice project, job well done!
I do flooring and electricians drive me up a wall!! I'm always the one that gets stuck cleaning up after them. Its them and drywall guys that get me. They leave clumps of mud that I have to scrape and sand....I'm pretty sure at both trade schools they are taught to leave their scrap on the floor for flooring guys to take care of lol
@Wranglerstar Wow you actually read my comment.
Thank you so much for doing the cheapest plasma cutter on Amazon thing.
I Can't wait to watch : )
I’ve never used a guard for my side grinder either because it was always in the way, until my Makita burnt up so bought a new DeWalt and the guard is easily adjustable with no tool or removing the wheel.
Bah! Am I the only one that remembers 2008 and what a few hundred thousand people panic buying did to the availability of firearms and ammo?
We could be weeks away from tens of millions clearing store shelves of health/home goods and food supplies.
I came for an A-team style van doomsday build with chainsaw hoard disbursement measures.
It's not too late to repurpose the steel from that workbench!
Japoop Sabeano your comment has aged well seeing as that’s exactly what’s happening
Love seeing the blasters in the background of your videos👍 would love to see more firearm content but I understand it’s a touchy subject on UA-cam now
If you were a channel member you would see,
Good on 'ya, Corey. Super present for Jeff.
What a great community here !
Cody,
Those long beams look like they're galvanized.
Please, please, please, use plenty of ventilation and a rated respirator. The zinc oxide produced from welding is definitely not good.
Pretty sure we all want to see you keep making great videos!
Just a heads up to be careful using a grinder with your van in the shop, the sparks can hit the glass and melt into it making a gritty mess that will go rusty. Same goes with weld spatter but that doesn’t fly as far. Keep up the good work though your building something Jeff will have and enjoy for a long time
