Pro tip- adjust the clutch on the drill motor so it slips instead if breaking your arm or striking you in any way. It allows you to run higher RPM with a slower more controllable feed rate. Works great with 6" hole saws and thick material. Nice shop!
Beautiful Shop!! Love your LED setup. I changed over from fluorescent lighting to LED strips and have never looked back. The amount of light that is now present in my work area is amazing. Now I can’t blame any mistakes on lighting it’s all me... Great build.
Great to see you back at it working on the new workshop once done im looking forward to seeing what you did with the upstairs home part of these job's!!!
Thank you Chris. Nice lighting solution. The shop is really looking good. With that shop under your home upstairs are you sure you want to start building a house. Everything looks pretty comfy to me. Take care, stay well and start enjoying that shop.
Great looking shop. One suggestion. I’m a electrician and I’ve ran into trouble with plastic anchors supporting boxes/lighting fixtures in ceilings. I would recommend to buy some toggle bolts and replace the plastic anchors if they fail to support them in the future. No need to go back and redo it right now just replace one at a time. That truly is a dream shop.
I spotted the plastic anchors right away also. Always included in the box and I always throw them in the garbage. years back one of my electricians used them in a plaster ceiling to hang track lights. Two weeks later the tracks fell!
Nicely done. Nailed the light spacing for the flush mount LEDs. Something the average person won't notice but if they are off any sticks out like a sore thumb. Once again nicely done my friend! The baker style scaffolding is a great tool. I made an extra shelf and had a large roll-away tool storage area. Eventually it got packed up for later use...
Really nice to run through your videos of the barn workshop and living space. You obviously know what you are doing and your woodworking skills with hand tools are at a very high level. Best of luck with your new shop and upcoming projects.
Very good information, I am going to upgrade my shop lighting using this product. Project is coming along and looks great. Looking forward to more videos.
Looking great, Chris! I know you liked those wago connectors for wiring! As a former electrician, that saved me so much time, too. Looking forward to those project videos!
Sometime ago, I came across UA-camr with WAGO connectors. Looked them up, saw they are code accepted here, and never used a wire nut again. Easy to fit in boxes, simple to make secure, and so far not one fail.
Great information Chris! Really like your lighting setup and the tongue and grove ceiling you put in with the round lights! Beautiful shop, can't wait to see more of it. Thanks for posting.
A note on the lighting. While yes it's true that you want the whiter task lighting for your work areas because they are always used for the same purpose, your house is totally different. At home you want your light to mimic what the sun does (changes color temperature throughout the day). Sometimes you want rooms to light up like your landing an airplane, but sometimes you want it to feel cozy. Most lighting designers haven't been taught this yet. But dynamic color temperature has been proven to provide multiple health (benefits believe it or not). Just something to think about when you're planning for your house next. * What I'm referring to is called "warm dim". When the lights can "dim" from a higher noon day sun color temperature down to the candle light.
I found that out when installing LED lighting in my kitchen and had to get lighting with the different selectors to finally figure out what type of lighting worked well for indoor kitchen use. Now I know!
Great video. I used Menard's smart electrician, for about $25 each at 5,500 lumens. I love how the light covers just snap into place, for easy cleaning. Great video my friend!!
Looking real good. Very nice video keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Can't wait to see ur next videos. Love this shop build videos.Keep Making. God Bless.
Typically THHN primary wire is used in conduit. Why was NM wire used? The additional outer sheathing from NM wire coupled with an enclosed space (conduit) creates additional heat which reduces the capacity the wire can handle (called de-rating). While LED's don't draw high amperage, if you put enough of them on the same circuit, and approach the 80% threshold of the primary wires capacity, then your primary wire will create plenty of heat. Also, while wago style connectors are far easier to work with, the constant heating and cooling cycles of wire fatigue the spring contacts within the connector and cause them to become brittle. These same style spring friction connectors are used in plumbing sharkbite fittings, and they suffer from this same issue. Wire ties may not be convenient, but they produce a far better mechanical connection.
The shop is coming along nicely! I stumbled upon your channel a while back and really enjoyed your content. Especially the wooden mallets, they looked amazing when you were done. Hope to see some crafty stuff soon!
Hey Chris! We're glad our lighting could be a part of your shop! Let us know how they're working out for you and if there are other ways we can help your future projects!
You can use the clutch on your drill as well, just set it high enough to run the hole-saw but low enough so that when it catches the clutch disengages. Your wrists will thank you.
Fantastic! I've been looking to replace the 8' fluorescent lights in my little blacksmith shop, but the plethora of options for LED lights has just about scrambled my brain. I can't have the shop too bright because that'll wash out the colors of the steel, but too dark makes it a pain to see when I'm working at the table or band saws. Never would have guessed there was an option for being able to dim the lights.
I really appreciated the detailed walk through on your new shop lighting, I purchased some NICOR Vaportight lights for my shop as well. There is only one end with a knockout open. The other end appears to be an area for a knock out but is just a small embossed circle, It appears that it will require drilling out. Don't know if this has changed since you received your lights. Did you have to drill out the second knock out area?
Great work & terrific lighting for the shop Chris! I was wondering what the monthly electrical cost will be running all of that lighting? Anyway, hope that you & your family are doing well & staying safe. Where's our friend UTZ? 😉😉👍👍
It’s hard to know the cost because I didn’t have a baseline compare too. Plus the upstairs apartment electricity use. I do know they are way more efficient non LED lights
Ha, go to @11:00 for Chris' "I'm not having fun" face. ;) I agree about the hole saws, they can be a pain to use, but I think they're better than the alternative with the two blades. Making them dimmable was a great idea and I really love those "pot" lights. I've seen a few other people install them, they look awesome.
I would probally have the row in the middle ofset (placed where there is a gap on the sides), would result in a more even lighting of the room. But with this type of lights its not a huge issue.
Great video! Looks like you are oh so close to completion. When do you think you'll jump onto some "project" videos. I really like the build videos, just wondering. I noticed a few times you were asked about Atz but no reply, I hope all is well. Also noticed a question about the boat, I'm sure that it was not completed before your move unless I missed something. Are you planning on getting back to it? Good luck with everything, stay safe out there.
Hi grampies, I’m hoping to start woodworking projects again in the next month or 2 and bring the boat back in to finish. Utz is great though it’s hard to get him in the shop because he likes to follow our 2 kids around so much looking for snacks haha. I’ll get him involved a lot more again soon
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman whew! Glad to hear UTZ is doing well; sorry, got to shake the Alaska - The Last Frontier out haha! Can't wait to see your coming projects AND to see the launch of your boat! Stay safe and take care.
Chris, excellent job on the lighting! Did you get vapor tight lights for a reason (I’m guessing safety with flammable finish vapors)? If so, did drilling those holes into the fixture for the wires compromise the seal? I can’t wait to see more build videos with the new set up!
You forgot Utz... unforgivable.... Utz is your QA/QC... 😄 It looking amazing!!!!! Great Job! Please allow me to express my concerns, being an electrical guy,... the flush mounted lights have a small box with a Power Supply Unit,... those PSU release heat and your are hooking them in such a place that is not ventilated. Plus you have thermal insulation all over with paper and wood. Normally the insulation is fire proof but the wood is not and also the paper that comes with the insulation. Like this, the heat sink needs of the PSU have to be verified, notice also that the PSU are not very reliable, many times they fail... not knowing the type you are using I cannot say more... if it is just a transformer, upon a failure they have two options, just open and nothing happen or cook up and become a piece of charcoal, this can start a fire... if it is some kind of Switch Mode Power Supply, they can do the same,.... stop working and nothing happens or overheat (very common)... I believe you have the second type SMPS, once have a dimming feature. Your shop/house is all wood,... observe the NFPA regulations for your own protection and ensure that your setup is in compliance with regulation. For what I observe on this video... maybe you have non-compliance.... the way to go around the problem is to install all PSU at another location and drive wires to the spots... also consider to have a metallic shield above the spots to prevent direct contact with flammable materials... the spots don’t need to be heat sink but they do develop heat... by doing this you will extend the life time of the spots and PSU. LEDs don’t like heat. Final note... if you install all PSU at a central location, do not fix them to wood directly,.... use a metallic plate as a backplate and connect that plate to ground...! If you need help on this please say so and also contact your dealer with this concerns... I think you cannot afford a fire... I’m concerned for you. Request,... Utz is mandatory on all videos... after all he is the manager ... (after the wife,... that is administration, CEO🤣) Thank you for the update! Great work and video ! Be safe
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman, if you need some tips/help just say so... no problem helping! Although I’m in Europe I’m aware of some US regulation because I work in the Oil & Gas Industry.... but most is about “good practice” and preventing impact if/when a catastrophic failure happens. It is always a pleasure to help! Stay Safe Wishing the Best for you and yours!
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman awesome. I'd be interested in knowing if they do in future or if you notice it at all. If not I'd love to know what dimmer switch you paired with those lights. I've got to install new ones in my shop very soon.
Me too! When I had to read all about them I realized they are a European design and immediately fell in love with them! I’ll never go back to wire nuts again!!
5000K lamp color has lots of blue light output. Google search “blue light eye damage”. Since you are stuck with this color, always wear amber safety glasses. Used to be glasses called blue blockers.

You should look Otto someone doing your videos for you. If your not making money on them you will still be gaining followers doing more videos in the meantime . Just tell you get more time sometime to think about
Don't do wiring if you aren't trained to do it and you need to have it inspected. It covers your butt if something goes wrong. You didn't need a can for the drop into the vapor lights? Do they meet code to hold the junction? Also, do they say in their instructions that you can drill that hole that you did? Normally, it is against the electrical code to make modifications to a UL listed device that you connect directly to a circuit. I ask these questions because it has been several years since I was still working as an industrial electrician and little code violations like this can lead to fires or can be used as an excuse after a fire to deny a fire insurance payout for a loss. I would recommend that anybody that is considering doing work like this consult a licensed electrician. I will commend you on choosing dust resistant lighting fixtures as it is what should be in a shop like that, but you didn't not install them to meet dust resistant code. Also, NM cable, AKA Romex, does not go in conduit. The whole debate over it was settled when NEC 2008 came out. The practice was banned because it has caused fires and equipment damage in multiple cases. Since the sheathing is not standardized between the different manufacturer, it is not possible to correctly de-rate the operating temperature of the cable or to determine safe numbers of wires in the conduit. In a practical sense, it should be fine since you aren't running high current on those circuits, but you won't be around forever and somebody might make changes to that circuit assuming that the wiring was done to code and running a full and continuous load on the circuit. And again, in the event of a fire, insurance companies will use something like this, even though it may not be the cause of the fire, will use it to deny a claim. Then there is the personal risk. If there is a fire and it is caused by the wiring you did that wasn't to code and wasn't inspected, you can be held civilly liable for loss of property and criminally liable for any loss of life.

They make a one tooth or three tooth hole saws that are designed for wood and the will cut thru like butter.
Wow, where’s the bar going to be?! This is looking more like a man cave than a shop!😉
I really appreciated the detailed walk through on your new shop lighting, I purchased some NICOR Vaportight lights for my shop as well. There is only one end with a knockout open.

Thanks i wil look up those licht
I'm interested on how these lights are holding up for you. Doing research finding it hard to sort out price to longevity!
What is the Color Rendering Index of those LEDs? Video recording is your job? You want an CRI of 90+.
Top demais 👊🏼👊🏼
The shop looks fantastic. You’ve done a great job. So jealous!!
You up for a trip to Washington state to help me build a shop? ;)
Did you use 150 lumens per sqft or less? My question is how many lumens do I need to have per sqft of garage working area? Thank you in advance.
Are you going to finish the boat build series? I was really enjoying it!
Yes. It’s coming back as soon as the shop is done
What light switch so you use? Nobody seems to know anything about what to use that's compatible with the 10v dimming cables
Pretty cool watch!! What kind is it?
I would probally have the row in the middle ofset (placed where there is a gap on the sides), would result in a more even lighting of the room. But with this type of lights its not a huge issue.

Do you leave any lights on to help any security cameras out in the event someone burglarizes your shop?
What brand of dimmer switches did you use?
Chris, excellent job on the lighting! Did you get vapor tight lights for a reason (I’m guessing safety with flammable finish vapors)? If so, did drilling those holes into the fixture for the wires compromise the seal?
I can’t wait to see more build videos with the new set up!
Yeah that definitely ruined the rating.

Why didn’t you just put a dimmer switch in instead of running a separate line?

In a practical sense, it should be fine since you aren't running high current on those circuits, but you won't be around forever and somebody might make changes to that circuit assuming that the wiring was done to code and running a full and continuous load on the circuit.
And again, in the event of a fire, insurance companies will use something like this, even though it may not be the cause of the fire, will use it to deny a claim. Then there is the personal risk. If there is a fire and it is caused by the wiring you did that wasn't to code and wasn't inspected, you can be held civilly liable for loss of property and criminally liable for any loss of life.
Great info. Thank you
