Kevin makes a bucket stool with Ben Uyeda, a maker best known for his design-based online videos.
Where to find it?
Ben Uyeda is a design-based maker who focuses on using readily available materials for all projects. In addition to social media, his how-to videos are available on his blog at HomeMade Modern.
All the materials Ben used for the project, including the Quikrete, the five-gallon bucket, hand saw, and wooden dowel, can be found at most home centers. Be sure to have an additional bucket handy to pour water for the concrete.
Chain saws can be purchased or rented at most home centers and landscape supply stores. All chain saws have the same safety features included with them, regardless of the type of chain saw it is.
Three-handle shower valves are no longer up to code due to a risk of scalding, and should be replaced with a single-handle, pressure-balanced one, particularly if the shower is used regularly or will be used by children. Pressure-balanced shower valves can be found at home centers or plumbing supply stores. You can also purchase cover plates that can hide holes left behind in the tiles when the valves are swapped.
When repairing existing three-handle valves, finding the correct components requires some detective work. Home centers have a book you can use to help you match up the correct parts, or you can go to a plumbing supply store and they will usually have the parts that you need.
Tub sockets and the other materials required to complete this project can also be found at home centers and plumbing supply stores.

ASK This Old House | Shower Valve, Chain Saw, Bucket Stool (S16 E20) FULL EPISODE
/ thisoldhouse - Jak na to + styl
The acting at the beginning of the episode is worthy of an Emmy!
Only one in town they closed down. Use to walk in the now defunct plumbing supply store with a valve stem from a house that was 50, 60, 70 years old and as you were walking in the door holding it up in your hand the old timers could eyeball it from 10 feet away and tell you what it was. Those days are gone.
Richard and the cutaways, what a legend! So helpful in understanding the mechanisms
FULL CITY WATER PRESSURE
It's weird seeing someone I follow on CZcams on a tv show, that's on CZcams.
5:50 Fun fact! Three-legged stools CAN'T wobble.
I hear that 2 legged stools usually fall over.
I love TOH. Such great content and personalities.
great to see roger! stay strong brother!
I grew up watching you guys and I love every episode. You guys are like my unofficial uncles!! Thank you so much for your time and happy new years!!
Happy new years
Happy news year
Anyone else expecting “bucket stool” to be plumbing segment? Just me?
good job on the plumbing but I think I would have replaced the nozzle as well to make it all match
Ben!! How cool!
Rogah!! Good to see ya, chief!
That stool is pretty rad
I do not wear safety glasses or ear protection with a chainsaw. . LMAO
Separate hot and cold handles are terrible but they are the worst in a shower
thank you
Must have done a thousand of that type of faucet in the 10 years I worked at a 35 year old hotel.
They don’t show the ones that don’t want to come apart though.
You just rip on it till it shears the pipe in the wall? 😆
Yep, I work at a 35 year old retirement home & pretty good at plumbing & some "most" of those old valves are tough if not impossible to take apart without breaking.
Yeah, Ben! 👍🏽
I love how he says he never uses a chainsaw without chaps and then immediately proceeds to use a chainsaw without them.
I use to use teflon tape or thread sealant on the seats.
like your show BUT i mute it quite often because of the loud twangy guitar music that exceeds the modulation of the shows stars, tone it down would be a big improvement
Good info my shower 🚿 is dripping water 💦 it’s a one shut off valve. I try taking it of I removed a clip and I couldn’t remove it so I just put it back and left alone because I did want to damage it and make it worse.☹️☹️☹️
Wow! Someone I watch on CZcams now is on a TV show! CONGRATS DUDE!!! :D
Bwahahaha, I have the toilet that matches the couples bathroom perfectly.
Seen a chain saw once with the operating instructions on it that said turn switch to on then it said ( on opposite of off ) If someone don't know on from off i don't think they need operate a chain saw at all.
1930’s. What do I do to Add a shower head. Only hot and cold faucets now. Pipes are so old I think I’d have to replace and cost would be more $’s than I could stand.
Those center mixing valves co$t to change out. To go from 3 valves to 1 is a big job. The plumber took about 4 hours to change it out. It was rental property at the time so i didnt pay for it but i know it wasnt cheap. Now that i am a home owner years later, i know better.
I have a corner on a cabinet...it got hit and created a long crack in the wood from the corner..how do I FIX ..or go to NEW counter top
Roger!
One piece of safety gear Roger failed to mention was Kevlar Steel Toed Boots for when your operating a chainsaw and delimbing or felling a tree
Come on Richard you do not need a special ratchet to get those seats off. That ratchet looks like a standard reversible gear wrench.
The stools look nice but I would worry they tip over easy. Anyone try making one?
Frozen water lol
question regarding shower valve replacement. why no plumbers tape used on the threads?
I think since those threads, on the valves, were not tapered, the tape would just make leaks worse.
On a tapered connection, it can compress the tape, as it tightens, to a seal.
A flat thread, the tape would more and likey bunch up making it highly likely to leak.
It's not just labor cost it's mainly taxes
Sotterley I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. Link in my about tab.
@@flat-earther is it flat?
@@KingKongbabe calm water lays flat with no curvature.
Benjamin Uyeda
Why no teflon tape on the valve seat at 18:00?
The threads are tapered
That bathroom is straight skanky
So I’ve made a cutaway of your house and this is your problem but don’t worry in a few weeks the manufacturers will make the parts we need, bye
This Old House has always been showing home owners how to do the professional grade jobs. I am not so sure the stuff that the maker makes fit well in this show.
You should check out his channel (HomeMadeModern). He's a professional architect and knows what he's talking about; his mission is to use good design to enable normal folks to do exciting things, I think it fits nicely
Richard let that dude have it because he said he was a tradesmen
I work at lowes. There ain’t no book.....
Hey, Ask This Old House, how about giving me a job? I'm asking.
What's a chain sawr?
Whaht thah fahck. . Yah cahll yahsehlf a fahn of Dihs Ohld Howse, buht yah doht knohw whaht ah sawr is??? Fahhk!! 🦞🦞🦞🦞
That "maker" was sure struggling with the saw.
You seemed to miss the part where he said his building skills were weak, his job was coming up with novel, easy to build, designs.
@@Wild_Bill57 I hear him say that. But come on basic saw skills. He should make a video. Sawing 101
I make and build stuff for a living and I don't remember the last time I used a hand saw. I would probably struggle as well, especially being on an iconic TV show like This Old House.
@@jonatham35 Good point! I may take it for granted; growing up in the 1960s helping my dad using hand tools.
He'd probably had it clamped if he was at his own bench.
Roger: longtime fan. My advice: never tame your hair. Praying you well. Thanks.
Don't give me that crap about the labor garbage with this country because you & I both know it can be done for a lot less money
First? Happy New Year.
E
Usually Richard talks to the hot wife, this time the husband was there to mess it up
The trouble with this country is that it's money hungry
Hi Guys 😍💋 💝💖

Peter I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. Link in my about tab.

Anyone want to be my Boyfriend 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
