Whenever my mom would finish a big project she would sit and stare at it for a while. We always called it "Praisin' over the (project)". She still laughs about it and still does it every time. John waving and saying hello to the corner reminded me of my mom "praisin' over" her many projects. We need to celebrate things that make us happy. Don't let anyone tell you you can't. It looks great, John! I'm a new woodworker and I did the same thing when I made my first very very simple bench and wood burnt a design into it.
I think no matter what a cornerstone into shop time is the stare period, me and my gf's dad talk about this while working on cars, you just gotta take like 15 mins to just stare at it
@@andrewzirkle977 agreed!😊
I do the same thing with every project. Especially when the whole project was one disaster after another.
I really dig that warrior-man-spirit in you. Cancer will get thicked fourty...four good.
Something else you could've done is, talked to your power company about grants that are going around, allowing big enough places to swap their florescent bulbs with LED bulbs using the same fixture. This is done by cutting the ballast out and directly wiring the feeds to the tombstones, allowing you to just swap the old bulbs with LED ones. Our shop just got it and it's 150% better.
I agree they could’ve retrofitted it with ballast bypass LED bulbs
So I think rebuilding the picker would be a badass video series. This way it’s not so squirrelly
To prevent the sway, you could try making the anchor points wider/larger than the lamps. the chains should go outward from the lamps, that will create tension.
Great suggestion
Beam clamps and threaded rod would work great as well
This was my thought. It’s the reason most chain lights don’t have chains hanging straight down.
Great video. Might want to look into having that lift serviced. New hydraulic oil, filter and an adjustment to pump gpm would really smooth it out!
I would also suggest a harness. I drive a picker while at work, and we require a harness. I would hate to see one of the guys slip off from 15ft up.
Awesome! Now we can see you again!
That was a great upgrade it's a million times better going to have to look at these lights for myself now
Sam throwing up that subtle explanation of the inverse square law was gold. As someone that works in lighting, I very much enjoy this video.
Your futures so bright you gotta wear shades...as a oldster, bright light is my friend.
Painting your roof beams and ceiling a bright white would help as well. Doing those a matte black would be the same, but it'd be a warmer light.
Looking good! At my old shop, I went from 2 extremely old fluorescents (that would flicker in the winter time) to 8 LED fixtures and it was AMAZING. Like you said, its easier to see fine details and mistakes in proper lighting. I'm looking forward to doing the lighting in my new garage where there's a single "boob" light for the whole thing.
You should be wearing a body harness to clip into that order picker. A fall from that height would not feel too good lol
Not sure if you've used one or know of one, but 3M makes a light called a "Sun Gun". Used typically for paint finishing in automotive applications but it's perfect for seeing swirl marks, imperfections, etc in your finish- paint, poly or epoxy.
I understand your excitement. I just installed a bunch of LED lights in my small garage shop last night and was cheering the same way.
Talking light variation, people always look at me strange when I take 10 photo's in a group outside. Although when I take the photos there appears to be no change in light outside, when I come inside and look at the images on the computer you can see minor changes in the image despite the photos being taken fractions of a second apart. One photo always stands out as a better image. Light is always changing outside, between the movement of the sun, clouds and any other variables it changes.
Bring on ALL the shop projects.
Just put in a led light bar in my garage to try out before I build I my shop. So far I really like it and the fact I can move each side where I need it.
What a difference, the new squirrelcave is becoming really nice
As an electrician who has done this thousands of time, may God have mercy on your soul! Light fixtures (for me) tend to be a soul crushing experience with the way they're engineered these days. Sometimes I yearn for the brutal simplicity of the old school fluorescent fixtures.
We did a lighting upgrade in Dallas over this past summer in a huge warehouse, seeing you do this reminded me how sucky it was, but you did good, you're an honorary sparky in my book
Here's to a great new year ahead for you guys. Very nice update to your shop. Can't wait to see more videos on this great UA-cam channel. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.
LEDs don't use ballasts... They use Drivers.
Also could have used Beam Clamps from Caddy instead of drilling.
Wow. Made a huge difference. When you finished Miss Piggy's room you gave an idea of how dim it was but man with the filming that both Sam & Jordan do, they did really well to compensate for that crappy lighting. One of the things good lighting does that you didn't mention is safety. Looks awesome.
Even though it is true that the intensity from one light halfs when you double the distance. Since you want even lighting in your shop it doesn't really matter. The light from one lamp gets just spread over a bigger area. As long as you install enough lights you have more even lighting than if you would have lowered the lights which would had made it more spotty.
Great video… led lights are incredible. We switched our whole house over and the electric usage dropped so much. I am very glad that Sam is happy. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
What about a build video of a grill area. Consisting of a angled tin roof and a poured pad or using pavers learning to level and creat a good base for the pavers also help you keep you grill outside and grilling all year
John, FYI. You need to move your American flag. It’s below the other flags you have up
As always, excellent and funny project guys. John I did notice, the forklift was struggling to get you over the ceiling, Christmas brought too much goodness 😂. All the best for guys in this new year.
That tape drop made my morning...
We upgraded our lights a few years ago in our shop. Didn't realize how bad it was until we put the new lights in. Looks good!
that forklift surely jingled some bells
Looks so much better, Ready to see the 2022 builds!
Thank you for showing us the lighting. You guys are awesome and I can't wait to see your next project. Keep it up guys.
Not sure on America's standards . But in Canada when installing the armoured cable you have to put in a protective sleeve (anti short) . To stop from crushing the wire with the connector
Same here. I've done commercial electric for 20 years and it's been code since I started.
In Australia we have threaded rod which we call Booker rod not sure what you have but we use this to hang lights with. Depending how long you need you use thicker rod. With nuts under the steel and tight it stops the swing
Great "shop lighting" video!
I cannot wait until your next update of the office lighting.
Well done!
Definitely one of the best moves I made was the lighting upgrade to LEDs I retrofit the existing fluorescents cut out the ballast rewire direct and wallah only had to purchase LED bulbs unbelievable results plus they are pennies to run
Best upgrade I made in my workshop was putting in LED panels. They were so bright I had to turn the intensity down a notch. Well worth the money!
Love watching people who don’t normally do electric work attempt my profession, you guys did good. Best way to keep lights straight is two eye bolts with jack chain on each side. Even better than that would be threaded rod, but that gets a bit pricey. Nothing wrong with straight to steel though. Love the videos!
Maybe you can answer a question I had - since these are mounted into steel supports, would grounding them to those supports be a good idea or a SHOCKINGLY dangerous idea?
@@MrMartinSchou the building framing is grounded so it is fine
I thought I noticed a bx with no anti short when he was putting it in that twin connector on the first light. Maybe not though
Should use all thread, 1/4"x10' with beam beam clamps.
I also loved the woodshop chief. Maybe add it at the end of some videos or do them as shorts.
I'm not sure if the local code will let it commercially, but try lever or push connects for wires they let u test after connected.
9:45 So that is where the Bourbon Moth has been LOL
You might try searing with a more characterless oil (read tasteless). Extra virgin olive oil has a fairly low smoke point and can impart some weird flavor when it gets really hot, depending on how hot you go with the pan.
Actually creates toxic compounds. Light olive oil is what I cook with. Has a high smoke point.
I love your videos. Thanks for keeping them coming! I’ve got some great ideas for your cooking segments.
When I built my new house I put ufo led lights in my garage. It’s so bright it’s awesome. Definitely worth it to get proper lighting. Great video.
Love the new shop and all the upgrades getting.
I removed all of my florescent lights to LEDs and they made a HUGE difference! Better and more even light.
Best shop upgrade ever, completely agree. My upgrade was transformational, even without considering videography.
I’m loving the new shop….congratulations
Huge difference. Happy new year from the uk 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Sam was trying to explain the inverse square law... Bad news, it's far worse than half the light. Though in your situation it won't matter much. Get Square-ily!
I'm still catching up but the joy John gets from the lighting gives me joy lol
One problem you'll find is some times your GoPro's will hate LED electro magnetic fields. Creating a horizontal moving shadow across the screen.😉👍
Hola 🖐 and Happy New Year!! 🎉🍾 The shop is looking great! Love the flags, after Ol' Glory my favorite would be The Big Red One Flag. I served in that unit and I'm glad it's positioned front and center. All the best for 2022!!!
I put up super bright led tubes in my very small shop and now that I’m used to it I’m gonna add some more too ,gotta see the imperfections in my work cause it’s not as easy at 60 🤷♂️
The lights were well needed. Happy new year!!
Try beam clamps, threaded for 1/4" threaded hooks
That lighting makes the shop look awesome
4' x 2' LED panels are cheap as chips. Probably a better option than converting old fluorescent fittings, although I appreciate you got the conversion kits for nothing.
Keep up the good work fellas! 👍👍👊
Screw swapping out the whole fixture. Do what he did or make it even more simple and just bypass the ballast and buy LED lamps
For me the flourecent lights works better when they are lower and see the defects in a car paint and what not related to it,there are so many pros an cons for led and flu depending on the project or overall work,what works best for you and the space should be done,there is not a enough lighting moment in a growing workspace
Rise Up Red Sea. Saw the Cards sticker on the picker. Which one of the gang is the Cardinals fan?
Also we had our shop lighting upgraded to similar lights last month. The crew that did it set up a laser level to keep all the runs the same height without needing to measure each section. The fitted solution you have done seems perfectly fine though and much easier.
The lighting in the attached garage that I use to have( nothing at this point) was horrible at best. The lighting in the new shop is absolutely awesome. Well done.
What a difference! Looks great guys !
the light looks so much better compared to the old light!! just missed jordan
OMG… “It’s too American 😢 ”!!! Hahaha, I died at that. Your shop can NEVER be too American 🇺🇸 🦅
Get some smart switches with remotes so you can put a remote anywhere or use your phone. I use Lutron Casetas and love them
John, I’m not saying that you didn’t, but I didn’t see a harness anywhere on that lift. I’m not the safety police but one slip and
High Bay LED is the way to go.
Cooking with MAPP Gas
"We see the light""'
Good job!!
The led light prices are not listed on the website
HUGE pet peeve of mine is low lighting. I would rather need shades than work in dim light. Right now we have a hodge podge set of lights up. mostly LED but junk Walmart ones. But i only have a 10 foot tall ceiling. or 12, I forget. New LIghting is definitely on my list.
Oh and WOW man, HUGE difference in lighting. Love it
12:10 John's eye ball twitches when he tells Sam he doesn't want to hear his complaining about how the lighting is "too" American
Hey if you guys could put lights up above the lights so when you're taking a video of hanging your lights we can see what you're doing that'd be great thanks
Run the lights on lengths of unistrut to set the line and height.
I know you are done already but you could have used threaded rod with clamps and kindorf to drop them down made them level and mounted the lights to the kindorf and then they wont sway.
I love watching you guys, I don’t know know why, but I love it.
Not sure if anyone mention but you could use All thread rods to hang them to help with the sway.
I really like the top gun 🔫 on written on picker lol
Always love the cooking in the videos
Nice work guys. 👏🏼 looks loads better 👌🏼
You NEED to swap over to Wago connectors. So much easier than the twist wire nuts.
Need a chest harness and tether while on the order picker so you don't accidentally walk off the platform and fall from 15-19 feet...
That had my osha senses tingling too.
Could have used threaded rod and channel strut to drop the lights to your desired height while keeping them rigid
True but strut ain’t cheap. I think surface mount was the right call
Actually, if you double the distance from the light you reduce the effective illumination by 1/4. Inverse Square Law. Intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
me and my homies work in absolute darkness (we dont have any fingers left and have to resort to working with our feet)
I might have tried using custom length pieces of all thread rods to make the lights all in plane. Great work though.
"The squirrels nest" new shop nickname
The squirrels nest 😂🤣
Hope the “Squirrels Nest” name sticks.
What's the over/under on the time it takes Jordan to hit the lights with the picker/forklift?
Question. The suggested light height, did it take into account your fork lift cage height? Well that became a moot question. Lol should have watched longer. Great job though
Do a tour again with all the lighting done.
could always make like a bracket shaped like ] out of steel or some metal and have the light underneath like this ]_[
would make it pretty too
Try purlin clips next time way faster than drilling all those holes
Let there be liiiiiights
Gib is the best!
Threaded rod is a good way to suspend lights and keep them straight.
It usually depends on the length of rod you are using. I've had to install 15' of threaded rod for some 2x4 lights and it swayed so much. But for this installation I think at most would be about 5' so it would work perfectly.
Nice videos man!
As a welder fabricator the lights in my workshop at work are awful and it makes marking out and measuring quite a challenge at times
Did you say swirl marks or squirrel marks in your work? Asking for a friend... .lol stay squirrely my friends!
9:43 is it a diguised allusion to the competing woodworking chanel by Bourbon Moth? ;)
