    I'm looking for a way to determine the gauge of small size stranded copper wire. How do you determine the gauge?

    Electrical Questions - Wire to the workshop

    I have a good plan about what I'm going to do with wiring inside of the workshop and the only real hurdle is getting the wires from the house to the workshop sub-panel. I just got an estimate back for completely wiring the shop from the main panel and it's almost $1000 more than I was expecting...

    What wire designation do I need to either make an extension cord for a 240v 20a circuit or make up a new, longer cord? I will only be extending 12' for a total of 18' of cord so 12ga should be fine but I would rather go to 10ga. Is there a designation to tell me that a certain cable is...

    Ever do something just to see if you could?

    Completed a house rewire last winter & have several hundred feet of old wire that was pulled out. I’d like to strip & sell it to supplement the tool fund. With copper prices being so high, it seems that now’s the time to sell it. Problem is: most of it is 1930’s BX armored – 2-wire –...
