I really should find a free place to host photos. I made a bedside lamp out of pipe iron and I was wanting an opinion. It's a lot like this one.

I didn't forget to ground the chassis to the incoming ground (earth) wire. It is safe.

Most of our industrial conduit in America is steel. When grounded, it is safer than plastics and shields EMF also.

Im sure it shields EMF, But never safer that plastics, The best thing they have done in NZ is to make RCD's mandatory in all new homes

We don’t use conduit inside enclosed walls, especially in residential construction. We use romex wiring. The insulated wires are bundled inside an insulated flexible sheathing. We sometimes use pvc conduit in homes(mostly outdoors). It’s cheaper than steel and is mainly used for smaller wire sizes. Steel conduit is mainly used in large industrial applications.

The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.

Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."

Very good," said the teacher.

Little Jenny was next: "I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."

"Very good, Jenny," said the teacher..

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath ....

Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash.

"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?"

Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.

"Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"

"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny, "I set up a Chip & Dip stand, I gave everybody who walked by a free sample." They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog crap!" Then I would say, "It is dog crap. Wanna buy a toothbrush?

I used the Morrison method of giving you something crappy, but looks good, for free, and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth."

The teacher was speechless. . .

We’re huddled in a bathroom. We are under a tornado warning. It is on the ground 5 miles from my house. There is hail and lightning all around.

We are still under a warning, but the tornado is 10 miles NE of me and headed NE. I think we are in the clear and have left the bathroom, but our weather radio is still on and I've warned my brother. He is 20 miles from it and just North of it's path. I'm not sure if it's still on the ground or not. He is in a closet with his 15 year old daughter, a boxer, and a great dane. Fun times.

A tornado hit near Dallas Love Field and damage video is on the news. 80k people are without power. Our's went off and back on a few times.

Tornado warning was lifted for my brother, but the storm is still headed for him.
