well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today I got a little bit of an experiment going on here
and I come to a certain part where I was getting set up and I thought you know what I don't know
what I'm doing here yeah there's a certain spot here in this experiment you're not gonna see this
to the future but I was completely baffled by a small little subject that I didn't know the
answer to so I run up my buddy Keith from new level aural owned in Staten Island New York
and I asked him this question you know it's just terrific that I have the opportunity to be able
to ask somebody a question like this because you know what I'm not an electrical engineer when I
do these experiments I like to be able to try and do them the best I can and to be as accurate as
possible but you know what I am NOT an electrician I don't have any skilled trade I don't have a
certificate in anything but I'm very fortunate to know a bunch of people on YouTube that are great
people and Keith and I got the right answer for the experiment and you're going to see this in
the future and hold on this is going to be part of the experiment so yous guys watch right and
you'll see what's going on come on I've never seen it done before on YouTube and I decided you know
what I'm going to do it and it's an automotive experiment but today I'd like to discuss a little
bit of a subject about you know a lot of us run yo dope and a lot of times you see people on YouTube
doing things and you know some people like me are not professionals and anything we'll just do it
yourselfers and you know there's a big difference between a do-it-yourselfer and a professional and
I was looking at some of these these videos of my friends who are actually skilled tradespeople and
you know what I'm going to mention three people today on this channel that I think are just
terrific people and you know you go on YouTube long enough you're going to find out that there
a lot of channels you cannot really I guess ask too many questions or get to know the people too
well and this kind of stuff but these three people are just terrific and if you ask them a question
you're going to get an answer and you're going to get the right one too but this is part of my
experiment that got going on here and here's just a regular you know extension cord and you could
see that I've put a new weight on this cord and I was watching this is the first fella Gators were
my I was watching his channel er man last year sometime and he showed how to put an end on an
extension cord no Gator is an electrician and you know I really don't think a lot of people who are
in the skilled trades like to make videos that are simple because to them this is a really easy thing
to do but when I watch Gators video I could not believe how there is a completely different way
of using you know the right end on an extension cord and wiring it up correctly now I didn't
know the difference after all these years come on like I mean look how old I am and I didn't know
the difference so I'm willing to learn anytime as possible like anybody else and there's two other
fellas Stutzman terry he's down in America and he's electrical engineer and I'll tell you what
that's another channel that you can ask this fella any question at all and I would feel comfortable
you know asking Terry any kind of question at all and I'd be you know for sure I know I'm going to
get the right answer and if he doesn't know the answer he's gonna tell you he doesn't know the
answer but you know when it comes down to YouTube and you're watching some different people yeah
it's uh it's nice to be able to watch channels where people interact with you and the third one
I would say is grandpa's workshop Mike he's down Nova Scotia and I believe he is an industrial
electrician he was the dusty elector I think he's retired now I'm not too sure but how many of these
fellas really want to do the basic stuff well I was searching on YouTube a little bit and you know
I looked up how to wire a three a three way switch guys I could not believe abuse on this and then
how did you Swire a switch how to put a new end on an extension cord how to do basic electrical
stuff and you know quite a few people on youtube have told me over the years who are in the skilled
trades they really don't feel comfortable a lot of times you know doing the videos that they're
actually have a skill trade in a lot of them feel there's a too much liability and this kind
of stuff but you know what I'd like to ask all of you if you all feel comfortable that you're really
good electrical because I'm not there's a lot of stuff I know are a little on the dodgy side me I
do yes well I get most of my all my wiring myself I do all my solar wiring I do everything and even
in the back of my mind I'm thinking sometimes should I really show some of this stuff and
sure that you know because I am NOT a skilled trades person but I do think that they're yeah
I believe that there's a lot of people who have the skilled trades that really don't show that
on their channel and the basic stuff of how to do electrical wiring would you guys like to see basic
electrical wiring because I'm going to put a link to all these three channels here that I mentioned
today I'll put a link down below to these guys are terrific people and they are a terrific resource
for learning not just electrical because most of them don't do all electrical Terry does a lot of
electrical and you know if you have a question you can ask these people and they're just you
know down-to-earth people and what I'm really trying to get to today is do you think a lot of
people that are watching my videos would like to watch electrical basic Electrical stuff on how to
actually wire something up for yourself because when it comes down to it a lot of channels that
I see out there are bringing in two and three million views on how to wire a light switch
and I'm going like come on I mean that's you know pretty basic but I think there's a lot of people
out there today that just really don't know about this stuff and I I have no way of telling how many
people would be interested in something like that or if you know if there's an audience for
that but when I see somebody getting like there's one fellow there why are three a three-way switch
over five million views I'm thinking okay if you're getting that many views on how to wire
a 3d three-way switch there's got to be a lot of people out there that just don't know how to
do that and what is the purpose of YouTube right I mean we're all here to learn I mean I tell you
right now I was not going to go ahead with this project right here if I didn't get the answer from
key and you know this is you know an interactive kind of format on YouTube but so many people just
go one way with YouTube they're looking at a video and you know a lot of people don't realize that
there's more to just a video than just the video there's a lot of my videos that I have done that
I have had to call up my friends and ask them say look I'm doing this video and I'm stuck on this
part right here I'm not too sure exactly if I'm doing it right or not and they will tell me and
you know it's not you're not going to find too many people that will do that so that's why I'm
mentioning these three channels today and you guys let me know if you would be interested in basic
electrical wiring stuff you know just the basic stuff that a lot of homeowners maybe don't know
today and maybe these channels that I'm mentioning today and putting the links down below maybe they
may start making some of these because I think that they're a valuable resource to do beginning
type stuff you know just like in the automotive field there's a lot of people that don't like to
do a lot of basic automotive stuff but you know what we all gotta start off somewhere and when I
was like 18 years old guys I used to get lots of shocks hey you learned the heart I won't do that
right learn proper safety procedures and don't get a lot of shocks like I did back then so thanks for
joining me here today youse guys let me know in the Thomas ball if and if you'd be interested
in watching a channel that actually has basic information about electrical wiring and electrical
Diagnostics so thanks for joining me here today I don't know that's about it for the video you
haven't seen this channel before you're welcome to subscribe just guys take care of my tears
