Anyone made the "Bob Crump" home-made powercord?


I found Bob's instructions for his power cord using
Belden brand wire, and specific brands of plugs. I just
made two today and guess what? They sound great and nothing
blew up! Just wondering if anyone else tryed making these
and their results.

Here's what it cost me:

Belden wire: $1.25 a foot
Schurter IEC plug: $7.00
Pass and Seymour plug: $5.00

Total cost for a 6' cord: $19.50 plus a little solder and
about 20 minutes of labor.

That's the best $20 I've spent in a long time!

The Pass and Seymour plugs are available here in the
midwest at Menard's- a home improvement store, similar
to Lowes, Home Depot, etc. If you can't find them, let
me know and I'll pick some up and mail them to you.
