Hopefully a useful tip. --- I used to install cable and low voltage wiring. A good trick for fishing wires in a wall is to have a length of thin steel chain that you can run down the wall to the hole you drilled. You don't need a lot of chain. You can use about 2 feet of chain tied to a string. The weight of the chain will keep your string straight as it goes down the wall. Now that the chain is down in the wall, you can use a magnet to capture the chain and pull it through your hole. Pull it until you get your string, untie the chain and tie on your new wire to fish up the wall. It's that easy. Also, some walls have what is called a "fire block" which is usually a 2x4 that runs horizontal in the wall between the vertical studs. Basically it stops the flow of air up the wall making it harder for fire to spread upwards. It can be a problem when fishing wires.

Glen, for the hanging cables, i found a great idea. Connect two pieces of wood together by a folding hinge - attach one end to the back of the draw and the other to the wall with another hinge. Run the wire along the folding planks so that as the draws open and closes (and as the planks lengthen), the wire goes with the planks at the back and there is no wire sagging or tugging.

Very nice. I sleep with a CPAP to make my sleep more stable and have a captain's bed with drawers in the base. I converted the drawer under my head to hold the machine, the humidifier, filters, power supply and spare parts, so I can get into bed, pull open the drawer and pull out the mask and tube. In the morning, I put the mask into the sterilizing chamber, tuck the hose away and close the drawer.

“Caution” You used 14/2 wire. The wire size should match the breaker size protecting it. If you use smaller wire than what is rated for your breaker, it is not protected properly and can actually melt before the breaker trips. Never reduce the size of wire when adding to an existing electrical circuit.

I've subscribed for a while now and I love all your videos Glen you always do really quality work and have great ideas for homeowners. With any metal box you will want to ground it with a green ground screw or ground clamp which is required by code also the more important issue is recommending 14 - 2 Romex. That will not pass inspection for a 20 amp circuit. You're just charging small devices so I think you're still going to be okay but you should always match the existing wiring and anytime you're in a kitchen it's going to be on a 20 amp circuit. You can always go up a size wire so it's safer to just stick with 12 but you should never attach 14-2 Romex to 12-2 because it's not able to withstand a 20 amp circuit and will fail inspection. You've got a great Channel and you do really good work I look forward to learning more in future videos.

Her is an extra little step I learned years ago. It is just a little safety tip for electrical in metal boxes. After the wire nuts go on wrap them with some electrical tape. My father taught me this. He was a Journeyman Electrician with Ford Motor co.

Cool idea! I might have to do this in my workshop. I just have a few comments on the electrical work. First off, the gauge of the wire used depends on the the circuit breaker. If you have a 20 amp breaker, you need at least 12ga. For a 15 amp breaker, 14ga is usually acceptable. Next, since you used a metal box, it needs to be grounded. Some outlets have a grounding strap that will ground the outlet to the box, but yours does not. In that case you will need to add a green grounding screw to your box, and connect a ground wire to it. Another thing I would do is to put in some sort of guide for the power cord coming out of the back of the drawer to keep it from getting caught and snagging on something when opening and closing the drawer. That would help prevent it from getting damaged and causing a short. One last thing to consider, some drawers go all the way to the back of the cabinet with very little space behind them. In that case, the electric box would need to be lower than the drawer. I've actually made that mistake once. I had to make a new back for the drawer, and of coarse the stain doesn't match. 😆

I believe in Canada putting an outlet box in hidden location is not allowed by code. However low voltage wiring (DC) can go anywhere. So I'm thinking of putting a transformer in a box adjacent to the regular outlet box and then running 5VDC to the drawer. Nice craftsmanship and explanation in your video, thanks.

@@griffmustard American code states there has to be a ground screw in the box and a ground wire attached that's connected to the rest of the grounds. Clearly not how it's actually stated, but you get it. But I agree it's redundant, yet I understand why it was made a code. In the event the device's grounding fails, you have a backup

Would be interesting to really take this to the next level and have the wireless chargers placed underneath a 1/4” th plywood false drawer bottom (removable) so when you placed the devices inside the drawer, they’d charge without the visual presence of the cords/chargers, plus when you’re not needing to charge a device it functions just like a traditional drawer without the cords/chargers getting in the way. Then you’d have a truly minimalist yet multipurpose drawer...

I love this idea and all your videos, but as an electrician there are a couple things to note. For anyone considering doing this, if your box is metal, it must be grounded. Ungrounded metal boxes are dangerous, if your energized conductor becomes loose and touches the box, the box will become energized. Grounding prevents this. Also be sure to match the wire gauge of whatever circuit you’re connecting to. Kitchen plug circuits are required to be 12 gauge for a 20 amp circuit, so 14-2 wire would not work; 12-2 wire would be required. You can tell the gauge by the color in modern homes. White is 14-2 and yellow is 12-2. Using the wrong gauge wire can result in a fire.

As an electrician in Ontario, Canada this is usually against Ontario Code as it's a fire hazard. Once the draw closes power must be turned off. The loophole might be the fact that the outlet is right behind the draw and then plugged into the draw. Just beware.
