Save the screws. You *will* need 6-32 screws as an elechicken sooner or later. You can also use the ears as washers/spacers. Also, a trick with using Romex/NM strain reliefs with flex cord is to make a bend strain relief out of electrical tape. For making more biggerer versions of these, you can use a chase nipple and a pair of machine screws and nuts (I know that technically makes them bolts; shut up) to gang boxes together. Just remember to file/grind down the facing edges of the box covers so their mounting holes line up with the ones on the boxes.

two nerds just living their best lives while poking at each other while spending an hour building a thing that should have taken 5 minutes. 10/10

Had to stick around to the end... Still waiting for Paul to smack you in the head for being an idiot. :P

epicariscapy or however it's spelt, nice to see the Boden and Kidwell show again

[@jonjohnson3027]

When wiring plug and outlets, I don't match up the colors (wires to screws); I go by position. It's easy for the minimum wage factory workers to get the brass & silver screws backward - I've seen it. OK, I've only seen it once in the last 40 years, but I've seen it. Regardless, if you go by position you'll never go wrong.

[@JanetDiaz6152]

Hi guys..... I was watching to end. and I don't understand what is a wago.? And please try doing a close up shot of how you were wiring it.

It’s the grey and orange wire connector they’re using :) Here’s a photo: images.app.goo.gl/1i5rQfjVf74BRFYW9

I love slightly burned🍪 cookies! Good show by

[@llMarvelous]

Something about all this is amusingly therapeutic and calming: inside jokes, unsubstantiated insults, misplaced items and tools, overall chaotic nature of this whole mess 😅 Like in real life 😂

[@enderxzebulun]

I like Paul.

[@AleroAero]

It was great to see you and Paul having fun doing a thing! I miss the old TGG productions and live streams.

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

I do live shows every night at 10pm. :) We're working hard on making this whole new HV series, and you can catch a lot of the behind the scenes on the live channel here: kzbin.info/door/50dmDmCH6UPbhHBBB1BiWQ This is the live channel. I do a live show every night at 2200H. I also do livestreams from the shop on a regular basis and shoto videos, work on projects, and just hang out with people. Discord is always live during these and people can jump in voice chat and interact live on the air. discord.gg/rwxRYBG3uM This is the Discord, where everything happens. Serious online community and we all hang out in here for the live shows every night at 10pm. We're building the audience and the community together as we make more and better videos. You're welcome to join in anytime you like. :)

Great project; I have one on my bench at home and one at work. I used a bell box (2-gang weatherproof box) with a cable gland to keep OSHA happy at work.

[@hopsta]

Epicaricacy! Am I the only one left?

[@hopsta]

I hope I spelt it properly!

[@Tinker001]

@@hopsta Nope... But I couldn't figure out how to spell it.

[@ChaoticGoodChris]

You Win! :) Send me a private message on the discord server. :)

@@ChaoticGoodChris Thank you. Messaged you. Schadenfreude

[@thoughtstream9591]

How exactly to you spell that? At least I'll be able to find the book from your name 😎

[@TylrVncnt]

Epicuricacy (spell that right?!) Cheers!

[@SamSitar]

[@hellminateur]

epicuriqueci no idea if its spelled right

[@HappyDiscoDeath]

[@HoorGuvLabs]

thanks!

[@tedrex8959]

I love watching the pair of you working together, it always makes me smile. Although I can't seem to resist seeing you as electrician versions of Waldorf and Statler! Hang on, do plug points in the U.S. not come with switches integrated into them? The earth pin is always uppermost here as well so Paul is obviously correct. ;-p According to the subtitles I should say .Eppiccurricacy what ever the hell that is!

[@eggman9713]

Right side up means nothing in Chicago, where many of them are put sideways because EMT is mandatory for all residential installations and it's easier to pull through lengthwise boxes.

[@MaxC925]

screws are painted when you need to know whats what. a single pole switch doesnt care whats hot and whats the switch leg and the manufacture save time and money not painting them. ground is the only important one

[@driftsdragsdrives4938]

[@LtKernelPanic]

I bought one of those outlet testers after it was mentioned on the live show and it's a fantastic addition to my tool kit.

[@Tinker001]

What are the odds to setting fire to the lab with a loose grub screw?

[@HappyDiscoDeath]

Tradition! *Fiddler on the Roof opening plays*

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

love the build
