Cubans LOLOL
Come on, I guarantee 85% of FABO members have done that.
I'll be the first to say I have!
I'm sure we have, LOLOL but we didn't try to claim it was professional
AND NOW YET ANOTHER ANNOYING STORY from the old days
Back in the late 70's early 80's there was a short time that I rented a bedroom and part of the house of our parts store bookeeper, who was divorced. I had a bit of welding to do on an old truck, and her house had no real way to get 220 to the welder. The dryer was at the far rear of the house, but the panel was partway down the exterior accessible basement stairs closer to the front.
Now looking back on this I don't know WTF I didn't just pirate the dryer breakers for a short time, but I didn't..............
I had a long length of no 10 + ground "Romex" which I used sometimes as an extension cord for the welder. So I pulled the male plug off the thing, pulled off the panel main disconnect, and VISE GRIPPED the wires to the main buss bars in the panel, then turned the main back on and went and did my welding
This only took a few minutes with nobody else home, and yeh. I was careful. This was an old Lincoln 200A "tombstone" buzzbox
