 Hey guys shave air 1,000 here Today I'm gonna build me an extension cord what I've got here I've got this This old cord. I cut it off of something. I used it in my last video Where I was trying out the pole lights. I Can't remember what I cut it off of But I saved it because it was a good end So and I've got this old extension cord end here Right there happened to the end of this Was when Bruno was a puppy he liked chewing on things and he chewed the end of it off so I Couldn't see throwing it away because Scott This end is perfect now. I'm gonna take these two and I'm gonna marry these two together right here, and I'm gonna make me an extension cord I'm gonna show you how to do that Okay guys the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna clip these ends off because I want a New clean clean ends to work with and I'm gonna re-trim them Okay, just like that now. I don't know if this is gonna work or not on here You go see right what I'm gonna use is I'm gonna use two of these buck connectors All right, I'm gonna use the red ones because they've got a snugger fit. They're a little smaller now you can use these if you want Which is fine, and this is a permanent fix guys. It'll be fine These won't pull out as easy because they actually screw on their nuts They're nuts like me and these are You know you just crimp them on then you're gonna then we're gonna we're gonna tape them up I know the right way to fix this would be to put Heat shrink on here first and then solder the two ends together and then put the heat shrink over it and Then shrink it up and then tape it, but unfortunately I do not Have any solder and I keep forgetting to To pick it up when we're out Okay, so let's go ahead and trim these Lost spring off of here. I don't know. There's supposed to be a spring there. It's laying over there somewhere. I think and We'll get you know About an eighth of an inch And a quarter of an inch if you want you can always gauge it by that because it's going to go in there About like that Okay, so it shouldn't Because see this this ends bigger the ends are bigger than the center because that's to go over Your wire like that, so you compensate for that and you figure it's gonna be about right there And you want it to be about halfway On your buck connector, so that should be about right and then you twist it up real nice Do the same thing same thing on that one and then just check it and Make sure they fit good And it does if it's perfect All right, now we're gonna do the same thing on this and I want to show you something about this too What we're gonna do with these This one just gonna take these little cutters you side catch you can use a pocket knife whatever you got just give them a Just give them a little start there and then pull them apart just like that okay now on these wires You can see there's a black one on a white one All right, the black one is going to be your power wire and the white one It's going to be your neutral. Okay, because this one as you can see it's not a trip wire. It's not grounded. All right Now you're thinking how do I know which one's which when it's all one color? Well Normally what you're going to look at You see this side this wire here if you look at it see this side Real close there. It's how smooth that is Now if you turn it over to the other wire You see them ridges See those ridges on there focus. There you go The one with the ridges is going to go to the black wire. That's your power. The other one is your neutral Okay, so let's go ahead and let's trim these About the same way, you know Eighth of an inch, you know, maybe and then twist them Now I'll put this on here make sure it doesn't go too far if it doesn't go if this end right here doesn't go Over that like that then you're a little bit too long So just get your little cutters Cut your little tiny section off and you do that until it goes on and goes up in there where it should be Just like that. Okay, and you look down inside there and make sure it's not coming through Because you got to have room for the other end To go on here. So let's do the same thing with this Just like that Now my crimpers here That is supposed to be To crimp these it doesn't work right so what I'm going to do is I'm going to use a pair of ice grips Let me get them adjusted here. It's still they close like Just till they're closed and crimp it together do the same thing On this side if you got the right crimpers, which I do not have it's Works a hell of a lot better trust me But like I said, yes, you guys are right that are thinking if Or the right way to do it would be to solder them put heat shrink on it and and then tape it up or What I normally do when I do that is I'll have a bigger piece of heat shrink That I put over here and then I put my two smaller ones one on each one. I solder slide the heat shrink on Shrink it up and then run the the bigger piece of heat shrink onto it Over this and then shrink it up. That's that's Technically the right way, but guys This will work just fine These wire nuts and probably even be better, but yes the best way to do it is definitely to solder them so And then we're going to check and see if this works that up in there and Let's crimp them again you go give them a little tug. That should be about right now. We're going to take some here guys, please don't use duct tape or Scotch tape or medicine tape on something like this Okay Just don't do it and use some kind of connector. Don't just wire them together and then tape them up Please don't do that. Very unsafe. This is safe. This is a prominent fix It will work so any electronic Electricians out there Don't hate me because I know you've done it as well. If I look through your garage, you may have something like this In there too, so All right, we go Now we've got my fan here. Let's get you backed out a little bit now Plug this in over here on the wall plug in Plug our fan in works perfect Now I'll plug this up here. I'll show you that is the right cord that we just made Right there. So there you go at least eight or nine feet of extension cord that I can use out here in the garage or Whatever Because we can always use a good extension cord So there you go guys That's how you make an extension cord You know just be careful. Make sure you do it, right? You won't have any problems. This will last me forever Unless I yank on it and yank it apart. You should be yanking on extension cord anyway, you know So all right, there's another little quick. Maybe how to you know kind of thing So stay tuned. I've got a video coming up. I don't know if I'll get it up today because I still have to film it first I've been seeing a Okay, spoiler alert. I've been seeing these guys on YouTube making these Continuous water fountains out of out of water bottles and pop bottles I'm gonna give that a shot And if you want you can join me because I'm gonna film it So listen guys she bear the myth of man legend. I'm gone for now. You all take care and be cool
