THANK U. THIS WAS HELPFUL

MAKE SURE YOU WIRE THE CORRECT WIRES TOGETHER!!! THEIR IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE NEUTRAL AND HOT WIRES. HOPE SHR DIDN'T GET SHOCKED OR CAUSR A SHORT!!!

what should I attach the ground wire too if I don’t have a metal piece like that? I’m doing this to a 3-light vanity bar from Lowe’s. It does have a screw sticking out. Would that be it?

You do not want to connect the lamp directly to the headboard. The headboard should have an electrical gang box attached and the light attached to that. For aesthetics, you'd probably want to cut a hole in the headboard with a jigsaw so the gang box is recessed. And you'd want to use the plastic boxes, not the metal. This installation is a housefire waiting to happen.

when screwing on a wire nut, you should continue turning it allowing the two (or three) wires to twist around each other. This is the proper way so that the wires attached don't get separated and cause major issues down the road.

Such a good tutorial 👌

it definitely matters which one you connect to each wire. Please do some research before spreading dangerous information online. I am sure you're a good person and wouldn't want to find out someone has been shocked after watching your video.

Forgot to check polarity, it def matters which side

Do you add glaze to the ebony stain?

It really does matter which way you wire to the plug. You can get shocked. On the fixture the neutral wire is white, and the black is live. Neutral wires on plugs usually have a ribbing on the side, running the length of the entire wire (they are very small) The live wire is smooth on the side. If you feel both wires horizontally on the plug, you can feel the ribbing/difference So ribbed to white smooth to black. Hope this helps. 😊

I don't understand why you say it doesn't matter which wires you connect the positive or negative. Shouldn't you connect positive with positive, and negative with negative? The other videos on KZbin say this

Awe shoot. I thought this would be harder than that. Thank you.

She did it wrong! She totally ignored the polarity of the wires. The plastic insulation on the cord has stripe projections to indicate the common (cold) side that must be connected to the white fixture wire with the other end being connected to the wide prong on the plug. The hot side of the cord is switched and is connected to the black fixture wire. The non-striped wire is switched to completely remove power to the fixture when off. You don't want to reverse these because the shell of the socket must not be electrically live when you remove a failed lamp if you should happen to touch the lamp threading.

Thank you I really needed this

Great video! Clear and precise without a lot of unnecessary talk. Very helpful. Thank you!

Love this! Helped me out so much

Very nice and that is awesome

1. Please don't plug this in with the exposed wires dangling to your wrist like that. Very dangerous. 2. This was not actually grounded the way you did it. A bit of a fire hazard. 3. This would need a fixture box behind the fixture on the wall to be safe and to code. Please do a little research and consider adding some safety notes in your video before someone hurts themselves.

Your ground wire should be connected to ground plug, seems your plug has no ground, you did nothing by connecting the fixture ground wire to bracket, please make sure what you are doing if this is for outdoor

Amazing!!

Aweome! First video that came up when I looked up converting to 🔌

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! Thanks!

Can someone explain why it doesn't matter which wire connects to black vs white? I thought they were positive / negative?

Very creative, awesome job!

Could you please provide the link of the on/off switch you used? Thanks :)

Thankyou

Great video for one reason. You didn’t BS. Good info & straight to the point. And yes, links and shooting horizontal is always better but still great job.

Why doesn't it matter which cable attaches to which? Wouldn't it short out or something if the lightbulb had positive to negative and negative to positive?

I just tried changing my pendant chandelier into a three prong plug-in, but it didn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

how did you attach the door to the wall and hide hardware? Thanks, good video.

KZbin 101: 1) Turn your sideways so the video is full screen; 2) include links to products in the description box so we can buy the same cord from HomeDepot

Very cool idea!

Could you show how you would wall mount that? I bought a wall scone that was hardwired but was turned into plug in per my request and they used the same tool as what you’re holding. I’m just confused how to install it on my wall. (Sorry- newbie here!)

Super easy and short video...right to the point. Thank you!

As Janet said "Glad I watched first because I need a cord with the switch on the wire to turn it on and off" exactly the same for me. Thanks for the video!

Well done u made that very easy to do, I thank you

Great job! Love the headboard. Awesome idea. That's what I thought about adding the plug in. Glad I watched first because I need a cord with the switch on the wire to turn it on and off. Instead of plugging and unplugging it. Thanks. Great video!

What was the paint ratio for Paris Grey / Antoinette, ? also did you use clear wax over chalk paint before applying glaze? Thank you! in advance

Music was annoying and distracting

Hello! I just waxed my bed frame using the black wax over graphite and it looks streaky on the flat surface of my headboard. Do I just need to wait and reapply another coat of wax or can I buff it out after 24 hours?

I just don't understand your choice of brush?! How can you work with that on furniture?

So you can use glaze right over chalk paint? On another piece you said you had treated it with a poly before glazing.

Have you watered down the paint in the dishes? You didn't say.

Beautiful finish can you tell us where you bought the inexpensice brush youre using?

What did you seal it with before glazing? Also how long after sealing before glazing?

Love your work! Might I suggest rotating your camera so your videos are full screen to make it just a bit easier to see your technique a little better. Just subscribed to your channel and look forward to hearing more of your tips.

Next time you make a video, CAN YOU SHUT THE KIDS UP.

Christy, you can grab a buffing machine to do the job. But I found if you have some old pantyhose that will do the job. It will give your piece a nice smooth glass like finish

You mentioned "buffing" what do you use for that? Thanks!
