[TheForge] Light bulbs and shop power

[Jerry Frost]

Ever seen an induction forge? Parallel wires can develop field currents in 
metal or other conductors near or between them making for fire hazards or 
even shock/electrocution hazards.

The only advice I'm willing to toss into this ring is HIRE an electrician. 
No matter what it costs it'll be a LOT cheaper than trying to get an 
insurance co. to honor insurance if that setup burnes no matter what the 
cause. Even if the wiring isn't the cause having it in use shows a clear 
disregard for safe practices and insurance Co. lawyers don't need very much 
to avoid payouts.
