How to organize your shop with scraps of electrical wire

There are so many ways to use electrical wire to get organized. Most of the ways I share in this video are related to my woodworking shop but the uses go far beyond just the workshop. Most of the wire I use in the video is left over from electrical projects but if you know someone who is doing a construction project that involves some electrical work there is always going to be some waste wire that usually ends up in the trash. When a wire is pulled to an electrical box for a receptacle, switch or light the last thing anyone wants is to not have enough wire. Because of this it is normal to pull an additional few inches at least which is usually only useful in electrical work for short jumps inside of the same box. There aren't nearly enough of these short jumps in a project to use all of the extra pieces so they usually end up getting thrown out. If you show up at the right time it is very likely that the builder or contractor would not mind letting you have them instead of throwing them out. If it's a large project there could be quite a bit of this waste wire to be had. If you'd rather purchase some for these organizational ideas I have added several links below.
