ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeletethe real time is fat wood?
ReplyDeleteIf you were going to use an excellerant, like a gas powered lighter, what was the point of making a feather stick :/ you basically said "Here is how to make bushcraft." Then tossed gasoline on top of it....very incongruous demonstration.
ReplyDelete"That's not a knife... this is a knife". No that's a spoon. "ah I can see you've played knifey spoony before!"
ReplyDeletegood stuff, i didnt realise the BK2 was such a big knife,
ReplyDeleteyea ist possible, but only if you make the last ones very fine, and its alot easier with some "softer" wood like willow or cedar.
ReplyDeleteCan this type of stick be lit by sparks from a fire steel?
ReplyDeleteExcellent
ReplyDeleteVery nicely demonstrated ! Thumbs up !
ReplyDeleteHelpful video--thanks for that, I'm trying it tonight!
ReplyDeleteGreat Vid .
ReplyDeleteThe fixture he used was a not an IC-rated fixture. However, the cone insert he used was adaptatble for that fixture to make it IC-rated. I'm not sure where you can find those cones. You can buy IC-rated retrofit fixtures - just be aware that the housings are typically a bit larger than non-IC-rated fixtures. Make sure you get an IC-rated fixture that easily fits into the hole you cut for the fixture.
ReplyDeleteYou need an IC-rated fixture (Insulation Contact). These typically have larger housings than the non-IC-rated fixtures.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you may have a wire with a knick in the insulation. TURN THE CIRCUIT OFF then check to make sure all your wires have the insulation fully intact and that they are not pinched. If those are not the issues, check connections again (including grounds).
ReplyDeleteThe number of lights will depend on how much light you wish to have and which size can or style of light you decide to install. The smaller recessed lights work great in smaller kitchens.
ReplyDeleteIf the recessed can is not air tight then caulking may be added to seal it up or you could add thin weather stripping which comes in a roll from the hardware store.
ReplyDeleteWhen the switch is turned on, the breaker knocks back shutting down the system. I have the exact same housing can bought it brand new today trying to install a LED Kit. When hang lose from the ceiling with all the wires out of the box, it worked fine. What am I dong wrong ?
ReplyDeleteWhat if attic insulation touches the can? could it potentially be a fire hazard. My attic has a ton of insulation in it.
ReplyDeletethanks for this.
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHaha 2:55 I think we just got trolled
ReplyDelete2:55 Did I hear right? Hmm
ReplyDeleteHey guys, any vids on these recessed lighting with no attic access? I'd like to add 2 of these in my music room in the basement. thx.
ReplyDeleteI am replacing older, non IC rated lights with newer, IC rated lights. The previous owner / "contractor" decided rather than use the IC lights, he just pushed, by hand, the insulation away from the lights, allowing plenty of energy loss and air flow. Are the lights you are using here IC? Can you blow in insulation around them?
ReplyDeleteAnd the clips just magically get pressed into place? Got four of them going in a basement bedroom ceiling, and those clips do NOT just pop into place. The only part of the installation I needed help with, and you skip over it completely. Duh.
ReplyDeleteshoudent u caulk it ?

ReplyDeleteI'm installing the same fixtures (cans) and I cannot get the black metal clips to stay in place. When I think one is clipped in place, another springs back out. I've reviewed the installation instructions and it suggests pushing the clip up with a screwdriver until it snaps into place. However, no such luck. Any thoughts or suggestions?
