I’m happy you still have all your fingers. My god man, I almost could not finish this video. The stress of watching you misuse that table saw is stressing me out!
A table vice and router would've done the job equally... But maybe he's used to using that saw like that. It's kinda like contractors that ALWAYS remove the guard from the hand held GRINDER because it always gets in the way...lol
Beautiful Job ! To all the trolls 👿 I’m sure we would all do the electrical differently but he’s inspiring everyone to do a DIY project he wasn’t looking to get harassed about his ethnicity or skill set. This video has 1 million views 🎉 congrats 🎈🍾
Nice..just a tip....for extra safety cut one wire shorter where they connect so the negative and positive break/ connection isn't beside each other..cheers!!!
that is always a good idea. also, making the exposed wire sections smaller and using a heat shrink will make it safer and stronger. you can check my way of splicing wire in my video ua-cam.com/video/OoC-g3wZ4Mc/v-deo.html
I suggest 12vdc LED, cutting wires to two lenght, use shrink tubing and weld the wires. At 12VDC and LED it will be safer and it will last years. The project by itself is impressive, good job
The end product is beautiful being married to an electrician and helping him from time to time I was side eyeing some of the electrical work. We have some outdoor lighting its called Sylvania Smart+Zigbee Outdoor Full Color Accent Light it would be better its already wired and you can remove the garden stakes and mount each individual bulb to the end of each piece of wood I believe would give you the same effect plus you would be able to have a huge color selection and color dynamic scenes. Also I'm no carpenter or anything but I'm pretty sure the dumbell proped up against the wood while sawing is most likely a safety hazard but I get it I've seen the hubby do some shit that makes me question how he's still living but hey he is an electrician so yeah but I hope the electrical last the idea and finished product is beautiful.
Yes putting anything against lumber while ripping like that is a good way to find out about kickback. Those saws are extremely powerful and can bury lumber in dry wall.
A table saw is the most dangerous power tool in a wood shop. What they need is a feather board to properly hold the wood to the fence. Enough has been said by others about the wiring 😲
@@cmitch3087 I would not and would want to see that very conflicting lol I have a hard enough time using a router or really any power tool they are too heavy and go too fast for my liking. My husband makes fun of me because I use just a regular old school screw driver instead of a drill.
@@rogermccaslin5963 I don't know what a feather board is but I will be googling as soon as I'm done writing this. I actually enjoy woodworking I've done a few things here and there and I've found it to be very satisfying when having the proper tools.
I found this comment useful, but the lights I looked up that you mentioned aren't available on Amazon anymore and I found them for sale on a few websites only to be (and this is posted 2 years after you posted your comment) $100+ dollars for outdoor lighting? Does that sound right? Are there other options? I've been looking for a colored option for this design because I want to do it on a small wall in my living room and I'm having trouble finding anything worth a damn. Thanks! Hope you see this after 2 years. 😆
Hey amazing video love the concept. Just as a electrician a little recommendation, use heat shrink over the cable extension for a safer joint. Not being negative just something for a another project. ❤️🙌🏽
@@gedionsamuel2256 @SJ Magic is correct, these are likely a low voltage system, I'd imagine not more than 12v. Thus heat shrink would make a lot of sense to clean up the wires, I'd personally also recommend soldering the wires at the joint too before adding heat shrink, but probably not all that necessary.
For sure, I would recommend using solder & seal connectors. They make wire connections easy without the need for soldering equipment. Also I would hot glue the wires into place to ensure they stay in place. Great job on the wall it turned out looking very nice.
First of all, this is an excellent idea to accent a wall. So props to both of you! I love it! My only suggestion is to google some different ways to wire up the backside for a cleaner look, as well as to insulate the wiring. The other suggestion I have is before starting the project is to bring the outlet on the other side of the wall and hide among the black pieces. The overall visual is amazing.
Good for you. I know that some might think that you were somewhat unprofessional, but hey, this is all about do it yourself. But being careful with our tools is something that everyone should make a priority. Still you appear to have escaped any serious damage and the project came out nicely. Well done.
I think the idea and finished product are fantastic, but even as an old woman who still does her own DIYs, I would use led light strips and a remote control to get the same affect. ' Much safer and less work, too! However, I thank you for the layout as I want to do something very similar! It's beautiful!
You should always have the larger part of the material against the fence on the table saw. Having that little sliver against the fence can cause a bind/kick back.
Good job, looks nice -and- looks fun to build. One suggestion, as an electrician I would always off-set my splices. A) It takes less bulk space B) it avoids any possibility of the wires touching. Not necessary here, but a better practice. Great work.
I applaud what you've done - it looks fantastic. And I love the fact you've done it with basic tools and a very definite "DIY" approach. Top marks. But too often in the video I found myself taking a sharp intake of breath! Enough has been said about the wiring - please - if it's not 12v get it changed ASAP. Don't use tape. It stops being sticky. Just mix a bit of epoxy or even silicon bathroom sealant to hold the cables in the grooves. Try clamping things before screwing and use some kind of straight edge to line everything up. Screwing with such a big electric drill without a torque setting - very brave. Finally - please wear proper shoes - power tools, large pieces of wood and flip flops are not a good combination! safety always comes first But, as a say, stunning idea that looks wonderful andninwa t to try the same. But please consider the execution! Best of luck with your future projects!
Beautiful job in the fabrication, lighting and installation. As others have noted, the electrical wiring, while functional, is unable to pass an inspection due to the use of Class 2 cabling for a Class 1 circuit. When you sell the home, this will likely be noted by a home inspector and be flagged. But, really nice work and I think the outcome is fantastic from a design and lighting standpoint.
Yes, the wall looked great when done. Very interesting concept. The electrical work aside, this may be something I may want to try. Perhaps even using different materials. But the wood is an interesting choice, however. Curious! That was low voltage that was used. Correct?
I’m not much for know it all tradesman, but I’m not sure there was one thing, electrically speaking, that was code here. The fact they had enough knowledge to wire everything properly and in parallel, yet completely disregard all things safety is mind boggling.
Looks great! I wish you would have provided commentary so we could do this. I know nothing about electrical and a novice to wood working but getting better. I would love to be able to do this.
Hi hi can I check with you on the dimensions of each strip please. I want to know if I can use a 30mm bulb to fit in. 😊 This looks amazingly beautiful ❤❤ I want to do one for my house too now
Oh Gosh, The woodwork and electrical leave a lot to be expanded on and corrected. The artistic design however is awesome and the artistic view is what I have taken away and admire! The use of pvc tape as an insulator on a joined wire is sub-optimal. I would recommend soldering and then hear shrink, and where it is on a 'T' join, Expoxy 2 part glue, or even hot glue would work really well, and wouldnt mean tape on the face meeting the wall. When applying wood glue between timbers, apply the glue as you have, but then spread the glue with a brush in an even and thin layer, It will result in a much higher joining force and wont risk the timbers spreading once the glue hardens. When attaching the supporting slats to the wall, avoid drilling through, already piloted timber, by doing this, you risk boring out the pre-drilled hole which will allow the timber to move when drilling the fixing. Remember 2mm off at the bottom can be 20mm off at the top. When installing, it would have been proper to begin at the corner wall and work out. This would allow for any mis-measurements and would mean a much easier fix on installation of the final section. DON"T GETR ME WRONG! I LOVE this install!! I just hope to share a little of what could be improved with other DIY''ers. Much Much Love and Appreciation!
Absolutely cracking. Well done, beautiful, but I have to agree about the wiring. When it comes to things involving electricity it's best not to wing it. Just because it works doesn't mean it's safe. Please take the time to do it correctly.
check the trim work for nails because they are usually nailed into studs I Use a strong magnet and that will also find studs for you as it is attracted to the nails. Stud finder’s work but I don’t think they’re necessary
I like the work and look a lot! THe only big issue if the wiring. You can't just twist and put electrical tapes on multiples wires with 110V AC. Ther eis a huge risk of fire here, even more with wood. You could use a 12V dc power-supply with a fuse, and do soldering and tape or even better heatshrink over it. Just a big safety concern I have if others also do this this way. But the look is great Im a huge fan.
That’s very valuable information. We made sure we wrapped the connections with tape securely. We will do some research on your suggestion too and add a note to the video for others to know as well. Thanks again for taking time to add your thoughts 😊
I read the other comments abut the electrical but no real solutions. As thick as the wood was. A paddle bit could have easily made a cavity at each junction. Then you would have been able to use wire nuts or crimp connectors instead of just electrical tape. You never see electrical tape in light fixtures because it is not a mechanically sound connection. Very cool project. Remember to make cavities for all of your wiring connections.
I’m happy you still have all your fingers. My god man, I almost could not finish this video. The stress of watching you misuse that table saw is stressing me out!

This is where hobbiest and electricians begin to gap in functionality!
The use of weights to keep boards in tight against the blade was clever!

Thank you guys for uploading this video again, I think I shall do this at my place
Whaou 🤩 Bravo 👏super original et professionnel !!!
I got an "Eeeek!" moment when seeing the way the bulb wires got connected and insulated...
- VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL piece of craft. Thanx for sharing & giving the details.
Always cut your wires to different lengths, solder them and use both individual shrinking shrouds on the wires and one to shrink the cable!
Thank you universe,what a amezing 😊
Thanks for the idea! I love the look of this accent wall!
Looks awesome !!
Amazing duo
wow great work and patience, love it ;)

Looks Great! The only thing I would add, would be to wear a mask and ventilate when spraying
Will surely do next time. Thanks for the positive words😊

I didn't see you add any slack to the wiring in the slats with the lights so how are you going to change a light bulb when one burns out?
Beautiful!
