This video is fantastic. She gets to the "Chase" immediately. She doesnt waste my time talking about her experiences with lamps and where she finds them, etc etc like so many HOW-TO videos do. Explains very well, distinct voice. Tells you exactly what you need. Goes thru all steps clearly. Hope there are many more of her videos I can learn from!!!

I especially appreciate that you work slowly, thoughtfully, and are deliberate. Too many people think that by working quickly they're impressive while the reality is the opposite. You obviously understand that one should do it slow and do it right. Love ya, Leah!

I love how Leah showed where she put the underwriter knot in, then later realized she had to undo the knot, slip the cord through the receptacle, and redo the knot. Seeing how to recover from mistakes is so valuable to beginners. People who make educational videos so often just edit out mistakes, not realizing that this actually reduces their educational value. I love Leah's high quality videos. She explains things so well, and her calm, rational demeanor is an example to the rest of us when we try to tackle our own projects.

You are the BEST teacher EVER! You took your time and explained everything in step by step detail. The camera was perfectly set, you nailed it. I finally have my beautiful lamp back. Thank You!!!

[@flaskandsarnies]

Great explanation and you have an excellent voice I could listen to all day, even if you read out the phone book! Keep it up Leah.

Thank you so much for this! I got a kit and sat here and fixed my bedroom lamp, one of the last gifts my mom gave me before she passed on. So happy it works again :)

The wire I bought Westinghouse wire. The package says that the ribbed side is the neutral wire, but they are absolutely identical. There's no ribbing on either side because I looked through a powerful magnifying glass. The ONLY difference is one of the wires has some writing on it. I called Home Depot and he said that the side with writing is the hot wire. Why do these companies make it so difficult to tell between the two side? I think it's kind of important information!

Hey Ms. Jane I'm 15 years old and I've been working on my lamp for months I was missing a few pieces to the lamp to make the vase stay and now it's finally complete ! Thank you for the tutorial of the lamp ! Comes in handy !

Thank you, Leah. I just rewired an old lamp that was blowing out expensive LED bulbs when I would screw them in. No more blown bulbs, and the three-way switch gives me low, medium, and ripping-out-seams light. Fantastic! Thanks for your clear instructions, from a sewer who was tired of squinting.

So I literally don't think I've ever commented on a KZbin video. But I just wanted to let you know, this video meant so much to me! I'm a single mother working two jobs and definitely on the budget. Now I'll do wood work and don't think twice about building stuff that I need inside the house and work with just about every material in different hobbies. But one thing I never mess with is electricity LOL. I know my limits ! However I have a lamp that cost me $2.50 that is priceless in value to me. My father lived on the West Coast for many years and I, the east coast. And rather not we talked several times during the week we always talked on Sundays and he always visited for a couple of weeks a year, typically about this time. During these visits, it was tradition for us to go yard selling, thrift shopping and to flea markets. I looked forward to it every year. About a year before covid hit, my father died a few months after a stroke. I was at his bedside holding his hand with my head on his chest when he slipped away. My lamp that cost $2.50 was one of my treasures that he got for me at a yard sale years back. The only things I took from a divorce were my children, clothes, and THIS LAMP lol. WELL the switch went bad a couple of months ago. It was depressing me so bad. But I watched your video and felt like this was one electric job I could handle. And I did and I just want to thank you because it means the world to me to have my lamp shining bright beside my bed!

Very good instructional video. I rewired a vintage lamp last night and couldn't believe how easy it was. Your directions were very helpful! Thanks!

[@sherrybell3735]

Thank you for the precise instruction! I'm pretty darn proud of myself right now thanks to you!

Best lamp re-wiring instructional video on KZbin! Thank you for posting.

[@mukwah1111]

WOW you are an amazing teacher and your careful methodical explanation is so appreciated. Happy to sit thru the ads for you. I know it helps a little. You rock!

[@cessna101]

You are the best instructor of rewiring lamps that ever graced KZbin. You’re a “natural born” teacher. Oh, how I’d love to take a class under you.
