Hi Eric! I don't tend to comment often, but I felt the need to express how grateful I am for your channel. I haven't had a father figure in my life, so these videos are the closest thing to knowing what that feels like :) Thank you for teaching me how to diy my home improvements and being so kind every single time
Your approach to a video like this is really spot on IMO. Helpful, informative, not dumbed down like you're informing a first grader, and not too advanced for beginners. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
Any other wives here because they asked their husband to hang something plenty of times and they still haven’t done it so you’re taking matter into your own hands ✋Thanks for the simple video! Can’t wait to see the look on my husbands face when he comes home 🙂
😂
Trust me, if you're looking for ways to motivate your husband to be more helpful to you, getting rid of the stache would be a great place to start.
LOL what? Come on now, you don't know how to motivate Him? Just say "NO" when he wants some "SPECIAL" attention!
MY DAD IS A BUSY PERSON WE DON'T REALLY TALK MUCH AND HE NEVER TECH ME HOW TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS.. ITS LIKE ,YOU ARE MY DAD AND TEACHING HOW TO DO THINGS !! I LOVE THIS VIDEO !!
My dad doesn't even know how to do this, this man is my dad too
Love the way he's not just doing but teaching at the same time
Fixing have changed incredibly over the years. As a young Electrical Apprentice my first experience was called a "Jumping Tool" which you hit with a hammer and turned it around. It was permitted to hit your fist ass well. But Masonary bits came along and saved my lefthand first finger knuckle. I liked the Lead anchour, I can imagine it moulding to the hole better than a plastic anchour. Not sure about the concrete ones though. Maybe in shear but I can see them pulling out on an axial load.
Thank you.
Wow James, no one has ever mentioned shear and axial load before! And it’s all I think about when mounting stuff. The cordless impact driver I have is amazing and compact. Quite a change. Thx!
Thanks, just what I needed to know. You have a bright, warm aura. 💥
took a practical but daunting task for many and delivered it concise and fun. doggos always a +.
You are so informative and likeable! Thank you!
Also, the dogs at the end of this video made my day. I run The Farm: Senior Dog Sanctuary, so these "helpers" are near and dear to my heart!
Thank you for taking your time to show us these tips. Appreciate the help!
I liked the explanations of why you’re doing this and that so you just earned yourself a subscriber! :)
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for explaining it in a very matter of fact way. 👍🏼
This was a very good video. I assumed this was the way to do it with tapcons but this helps me know for sure. 👍
Hell yeah. There really is a video for everything DIY these days
Thanks for the video. I now have confidence drilling into a concrete wall 👍👍
Cinder block and concrete block are not the same thing.
Cinder block is made from coal ash (i.e. cinder) and Portland cement. It is not suitable for building foundation walls because it isn't very strong. You could easily make a gash in it by hitting it with a hammer, for example. If you dropped a cinder block, it would certainly break into several pieces. It was used for interior non load-bearing walls in industrial buildings. I remember an old strip mall basement where the foundation walls were made of poured concrete and the interior walls separating the individual store basements were made of cinder block - not concrete block. These interior walls were not load bearing. There were steel girders and columns that supported the floor above and the cinder block filled in the space between the columns to separate the individual store basements.
The best way to mount anything on cinder block is with plastic anchors and screws. (Same as you would for sheet rock, although cinder block is much stronger that sheet rock.) You don't need a hammer drill, just a cheap masonry bit and a regular drill will easily make a hole. In fact, an ordinary high speed drill bit will also work, but it will wear out quickly. It's best not to hang anything too heavy on cinder block even if it seems to be securely fastened.
It was a way of using an industrial by-product (coal ash) instead of discarding it, and it was very cheap to produce. I don't think that cinder block has been produced for many decades. Now, only concrete block is produced.
Concrete block is made of concrete as the name suggests. (i.e. Fine aggregate, sand, and Portland cement.) It is MUCH, MUCH stronger than cinder block and is suitable for use in load bearing walls. You need a hammer drill and a good masonry bit to drill into it. If you go to a masonry supply yard and buy "cinder block", you can be sure that it's actually concrete block.
If one has a porch made of concrete what is the best way to drill through it to attach the metal braces for posts?
dude i like you, your personality is awesome. I subscribed just based on this one video lol. thank you sir. i will be coming o your channel to fix my mistakes hahaha
Love them Tapcon screws, hammer drills have become quite affordable
Love the Amber Woofers you have, I be willing to baby sit them for a few days
The Labs are in the yard, its finally stopped raining. I have to get out there and work now. thx!
Thank you very much for your great tutorial and light-hearted approach!
This was so helpful. I needed the bravery boost! Basement shelf for all the kids superhero toys!
Cool. You can squirt some liquid nails into the hole to reinforce masonry (like old brick walls) when installing lead anchors. Personally, I love the tapcons.
28 seconds in and I'm subscribed. I love your style and can't wait to start working my way through your videos! Good stuff 👍👍👍👍👍
Great videos, Dude! Clear, concise. I especially love your assistants! 😍
Whenever I had trouble drilling masonry I just started will a smaller drill bit and gradually increased the size.
Exactly! What kind of drill do you use?
@@gardenfork just a bog-standard chord drill.. as long as the bits are right, it works fine for everything.
What a nice person you are, Eric, to share your knowledge as you do. Thank you.
The intro was so precise 😂😂
Thanks you kept it simple and your style of teaching is really great. GBY
Thank you for this video. You are encouraging. I keep making dumb mistakes.
Wow, I didn't expect so much commentary on the "cinder" block bit. I didn't know the difference. In fact, if you say "CMU" around here, we think you mean a local university. Haha! When I was a kid, I remember my dad mounting some 2x4's to a block wall using a tool that he loaded a .22 bullet into before whacking it with a hammer. (I just Googled it...it's a ramset hammershot) Anyway, good video, Eric. :-)
Yes you can use a ramset, I’ve used them to attach wood to cement. Thx!
And then there is the cinder block controversy... 😳
you are adorable. I love your personality. As a female I appreciate your video and your sweetness. Thank you sir.
I've found my new favorite channel!
🤣🤣 yup, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 👍
I love you within the first 5 seconds
I watched this and hung a small shelf for my humidifier. Need to hang something else couldn’t remember how I did so, here I am again.
I was entertained and educated. An awsome combination for such a unglorious task. I am now a subscriber.
I can't wait to spend the rest of the quarantine figuring out how to fix up my house! First-time homeowner question - my basement is 100-year-old clay tile, can I treat it the same way you do cinderblock? I want to put up a shelf in the laundry room. Every google search I have comes up cinderblock.
Thanks so much for this video. It's exactly what I was looking for. I stupidly would not have used an eye shield or ear protection, and now I will. Can you tell me how to tell how far apart the brackets need to be for what weight? I'm not doing anything too heavy, mostly 1-gallon plastic plant pots with soil & plants, but I want to get as many on the shelf as possible.
Nice video, some masking or electrical tape around the masonry bit about 1/4" longee than the tapcon is an easy indicator also
And it's not a big deal either way just a heads up, I believe you're saying may-son-ary and its a hard e sound like may-son-ree
Good video,but I just used my standard power drill and a concrete bit NOT A HAMMER DRILL, AND IT WORKED JUST FINE, only took about 15 mins for my goal.
Who are you and why am I just discovering your channel? Love the content. Also, would this be ideal way to hang floating shelves on cinder blocks? Any suggestions? Thanks!
Be careful with floating shelves Vicky, they won’t hold much weight. good luck!
Hey Vicky, did you do this with hanging shelves. I need to do shelves inside of a cabinet that is made from cinder blocks.
I love this video. Bow i can mount a shelf in my room for my things.
Great job. Thank you!
Very interested called them London bracks very good hammer drill best for job
Yes I do. This is great. I watched your other video on this, I bought the screws, I think I have a hammer drill but it’s battery driven.
I have found the corded hammer drill useful for all sorts of harder to work with material, and its cheaper. But not to denigrate cordless tools, I have several. thx! eric.
Beautiful dogs
Thanks I appreciate it 🤩I also have that same drill too👍
Brilliant info thanks so much for a great video just what I'm looking for ...
Interesting video. Do you not need wall plugs if your drilling into concrete or brick wall?. 🤔 thanks...
Good job. Love your poochies!!❤️
Wow that's a good one,,,but up here in kenya I haven't seen those blue screws for tha wall🤔
Just amazing ...straightway subscribed...
Just that we don't get such quality screws n tools here in local shops easily.
Will the below drill machine work on Cement Walls. Please advise. I am planning to keep some Tubs on a shelf in the balcony over L Brackets🙏🏻🙏🏻
"Bosch GSB 501 impact drill with Powerful 500W and a Lock-On button for continuous drilling makes it a great impact drill at construction sites."
Nice video. I learned from you
This is helpful, Thank you!
Great video! :)
What size screw did you use? Because I just bought a bunch of the shelve support brackets and wow are those holes SMALL!
in my garage yes it beat up like that but id like to put a vise and some weight on it what works confused thank you
Are hammer drills unusual in the US? Where I'm from most of them have that function.
Explain... "ROUNDED OUT??"
Do i have to buy a hammmer drill or can i just use my drill like a hammer??
I heard the term impact driver but i think you met hammer drill.
So wholesome
Thanks dad.
what model is that water pump? thanks for the great vid!
Not sure. I bought it at lowes. 😀
Does it tell you which size bit is needed on the lag bolt box?
Thanks
do you have one or can you do one on drilling ceramic or stoneware or clay? I have planters that come with no holes in the bottom and when I try to make the holes it is most difficult, may crack or it burns out the bit by the time I get 2 holes done out of 4 desired ... I know I used a special bit but cannot remember which it was not easy. thanx for all you share and the way you do so.
nice 😊
How do you know how long your screws should be? There are a lot of different lengths. Some have threads all the way up the screw and some do not...???
p.s. Awesome video.Glad to have found your site!
well, it depends on the weight the shelf will hold and what kind of cement block. if its hollow block, a 1 1/2" screw does fine, but won't hold a lot of weight. If its solid block you can use a longer (stronger) screw and hold more weight. thx!
well done, thank you
OED's only evidence for drill-chuck is from 1874, in a dictionary by Edward H. Knight, patent lawyer and expert in mechanics.
Why do East Coast denizens call them “cinder” blocks? Out here on the left coast we call them CMU’s or concrete blocks.
I had a vintage Milwaukee hammer drill for ages, in a metal carrying case. My repair guy lost it. I shoulda fixed it myself, like you did.
My old Milwaukee Sawzall saw one too many outdoor winters 🥶 and was replaced with a late model saw, and n a plastic case 😵
Im from Cali and always called them cinder blocks. Breeze blocks in UK.
I KNEW if I said cinder block I’d get comments Daniel. CMU is a better word for them, or concrete block. Milwaukee tools are great. Las t forever. Thx!
Can I use what I have (ordinary power drill)?
what level did you set the clutch at when using the blue screws
Hello. May I ask what kind of bracket you used?
hello i want to hang my floating desk i had in my old house, but my new house is made out of adobe. what can i use to make sure my desk dosnt fall down on me? plz help
Is a hammer drill the same as an impact drill?
What kind of drill bit did you use?
Sorry but doesn’t the long side of the bracket go against the wall?
Any extra thoughts on a cinder block wall that makes up my basement? Im concerned about moisture coming in since the outer side of the cinder blocks is under ground level.
You can try Dry Lock but the best way is to remove the water outside. Are the rain gunners overflowing? Do the downspouts extend 8’ away from house ?
@@gardenfork Gutters are ok, downspouts go 4 ft from house, no leaks in basement currently, just worried about making new holes in an exterior wall. Even if there is no standing water waiting to rush in, there is still a lot of moisture there and I worry about mold problems inside the cinderblock progressing into the house.
@@starhawke380 I am concerned about this same thing, did you ever come to a solution for moisture / mold?
What shelf brackets did you use? Even the biggest (12x14) Everbilt ones from Home Depot say to use a #7 screw (5/32") so I'm figuring the holes will be too small for event the smallest (3/16") Tapcons. I have some brackets at home, too, and the holes are only 1/8". Someone please help.
I'm having the same problem. Did someone help you? Did you solve it already?
WTH happened to your shield?
Is a hammer drill the same thing as an impact drill
Hammer drills have more power. But sometimes an impact drill will work for this.
@@gardenfork Thank you for answering my question
Asking my husband to do anything around the house us like asking Joe Biden to stand up straight.
So, Fed up I went out and bought myself ....
a miter saw, a scroll saw, table saw, drill press, belt sander, orbital sander, and made myself a router table., now he us asking me, im self taught and loving it! LMAO. 😅😅😅😅
Wawww
can you use a tap screw?
I wouldn’t.
@@gardenfork fair enough thanks brother
Perhaps
I never could justify buying a hammer drill when you can save a little more money and buy a much more versatile rotary hammer.
what if you have drywall in front of the coment
Cinder block? cement blocks?
So many names for concrete blocks!
@@gardenfork well, in my day, cinder blocks were made from cinders, and were porous. Cement blocks were- well u get the idea
It's *concrete* block; cement is merely an ingredient.
MAY-son-ree, not. “MAY-son-airy”
masonary (missionary)
Masonry - it’s pronounced /mā′sən-rē/
pretty poor video:
1. no mention of drill bit size
2. no mention of the wall plug size
watch the British diy videos. generally better.
WHY CAN I USE A REGULAR DRILL WITH THE CEMENT BIT ???
