Hi guys!

In this week's video, we take another couple of steps towards being ready to really dig into the boatwork. The underside of the boat is now nice and organized with a brand new homemade 4x8 work table.

In real-time news, the Annapolis Boat Show is in full swing. In a few hours, we will have our Patreon meet-up at the ABYC HQ. We're so excited!

Have a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support.

Welcome to the wire nut wars. You participation is required! ;) There are the wire twister camp and the non wire twister camp. The wire twisters will use a pair of pliers such as a lineman's pliers and twist all the strands together. You often need to clip the end to even it up since any protruding wire will keep the wire nut from fully seating. This need to trim is the issue. It means that not all wires are equally twisted and when you put the wire nut on, the teeth will not equally engage with all strands. A perfect twist doesn't need a wire nut to hold it together but not all twists are perfect. You might also need to expose more bare wire to get a proper twist. The non wire twisters will keep each wire straight and parallel and then screw on the wire nut. If you are joining 4 or fewer wires, then the threads of the wire nut should equally engage with all wires. Either way, don't reuse wire nuts, screw them on tight and tug on each wire to be sure they are secure. By the way, you may want to do this off camera to limit the "helpful" feedback.
