Need to put a disclaimer on how dangerous this is at the beginning. Some idiot might fry themselves trying your get rich quick scheme. Don't want that blood on your hands brother.

[daveoutlaw]

Right! I looked this up while watching a show where people were killed doing this project. Low and behold, majority of comments saying it will kill you!

[txman]

My X-brother-in-law was electrocuted doing this 2 years ago

[jerrywhidby.]

FYI this is supposedly the most common DIY on YouTube that leads to hospitalization.

[kimkincaid]

Don't do it. My son, 39 years old, 3 small children, died June 1st this year.. from doing this!

⚠️PLEASE READ THIS⚠️ Great piece of furniture! Also, this shows you that electricity DOES NOT take the path of least resistance, as many people believe. It takes ALL the available paths, all at once, as you can see from the fractal burn pattern. Otherwise, we would just have one thick burn mark along the path of least resistance.
According to Ohm's law, I = V/R (current = voltage over resistance). This means that the current passing through a certain path is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of said path. This, however, doesn't mean that current doesn't flow through the path. It just means that there will be less current flowing through a more resistant path.
If current really took only the path of least resistance, you wouldn't be able to turn on more than one light in your home.
Now, let's say the more resistant path is your body, and the less resistant path is the workpiece. If you touch the workpiece or even get close, an amount of current WILL flow through your body and may be enough to shock you. So, be very careful:
1. WEAR INSULATING GLOVES AND SHOES
2. DON'T GET NEAR THE ELECTRODES OR THE WORKPIECE WHILE CURRENT IS ON
3. DO THIS OUTSIDE IN CASE OF FIRE
4. DON'T LET ANYONE (PETS, KIDS...) NEAR THE WORKPIECE
5. DON'T DO THIS IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT, AS AIR WILL BE MORE CONDUCTIVE

If this is your first time working with electricity, please think twice about taking on this project. Current is inherently dangerous and doesn't behave intuitively like water.

Danger shouldn't stop you from achieving your goals, but rather get you thinking about how to do it properly.

Please be careful. We lost a friend to electrocution from this very type project . He had been doing this for a long time. suddenly a small mistake and it took his life. He left behind a wife 5 adopted children, 1 bio son and a county full of foster kids he made an impact with.

[channelview]

The single most deadly project on YT, by actual count. Please be careful.

[Twentyherp]

Should always remind people just how really dangerous this practice is.
The power of the electricity used is equivalent to an electric chair, one mistake and you'll most likely die. The electricity will run through and burn up your nerves and muscle, a really painful way to go.

And even if you somehow survive the shock you still run the risk of dying from your injuries. When muscle gets damaged from electricity your body releases enzymes that break it down. The damaged part of your body is pretty much decomposing. You'll be lucky if all you need is amputation.

All in all, this practice should never be taken lightly

A video with explaining the how's and why's of what you do is so much more useful.

[chrisandlizsizemore]

DON'T DO IT! It's 2000v that can leap to you. Not only will most likely die, you will also be horrendously scarred. Missing fingers, holes in your body, 3rd degree burns...

[morefiction]

That much current scares the crap out of me.

[frankdoss]

This is certainly not a "do in your own shop" project. Many people have been killed just moving the gear around, let alone using it.
Keeping it isolated in that case was an excellent idea.

[ninjaswordtothehead]

Remember kids; electricity won't just kill you, it will make it hurt the whole time.

[jamespaulsell]

What does the baking soda water do? conduct the electricity better? what is the mix ratio? Was that a transformer from a microwave that you use?

[chewyfingers]

Looks like more than $200 worth of work went into that.
Looks good.

[karenscoville]

I thought these videos were banned for being WAY too dangerous??!!? So many people have died trying this, please don't.

[anthonyortiz]

Wow someone with actual good tools, dudes a pro take notes

[tristanschreiner]

Hold up. Did you just use your plunge router base as a drill press guide? Or is that a rig made for your drill? Super nice pieces man

[TammieBuckeye]

A lot of people and I mean a lot have been seriously injured or even died doing this. Please, please don’t try this..
