hi chickens hi sweetie
welcome to my chicken coop and my 30
second video on how to drill into brick
what I was showing you my planters that
I made and stained a lot of you wanted
to know how it was that I secured them
into the brick and it's easy easy easy
easy so I thought I would do this 30
second video on how to drill into brick
thirty Seconds because that's about how
much time I have left on my camera so to
drill into brick really the only two
things that you need to remember is the
heed a special type of drill bit which
is hi chicken it's not a hi chicken
drill bit it's a masonry drill bit which
has a different sort of tip on it that
lets you drill through something really
tough like mortar or concrete or brick
and you also need something like this
which is a it's called a bunch of
different things it can be called in
anchor screw it can be called a screw
anchor it can be called a concrete
anchor I think it's also sometimes
called a wall dog but basically what it
is is a screw with an extra set of
larger sharp threads that go around it
that help it
drill securely into anything really
really solid so if you want to drill a
hole into brick you need to buy a
certain size whatever size you need of
these anchor screws and then you need a
masonry drill bit which is a couple of
sizes smaller than your screw because if
you get them the same size for instance
I have a 3/16 screw here if I also got a
3/16 drill bit the hole would be as big
as the screw and it would just slide in
and out there wouldn't be anywhere for
the threads to grip so that's something
people don't tell you for some reason is
that you have to use a smaller drill bit
when you're using these concrete anchors
okay so I have already marked the two
spots on my wall here that I want to
just keep looking at checks the little
chicks here I'll show you
just quickly little
working because I really don't have very
much time left I'm drilling a hole for
you first that's a little special
surprise for you
little tricks okay here we go drilling
into brick make sure your drill is level
blow it any dust now when you're
drilling into the brick make sure that
you drill straight in and straight out
don't wiggle in wall tool otherwise your
hole is going to be bigger than you want
it to be now I'm just taking my my
concrete anchor or a wall dog or anchor
screw or screw anchor or whatever you
want to call it and I'm just screwing it
in and I can feel that there's some
resistance but I can still screw it into
the hole and that's it that is in there
now I'm going to put here what I am
actually going to hang so what I'm
putting up is this little bracket which
is a curtain rod bracket that I got for
my kid and it cost one dollar this is
going on considerably longer than 30
seconds hasn't
and the next video will be the chickens
learning to music
