1" conduit connectors

An a journeyman electrician, my first thought was "Where's the UL stamp?" Otherwise that's some nice problem solving.

Where I'm at most folks don't even run their wiring in conduit you should see some of the nightmare wiring in many of the barns and houses around here.
years ago I was wiring up one of my 25 or 30 hp power units this was overseas so I pulled 5 wires since I needed a common for the controlling aspect of it. one of the guys asked me why I pulled a green wire since my conduit was steel. Rather than go into a lengthy explanation about proper Earthing I just said because I have green wire then pointed to the non conductive PVC flex conduit inside of the power unit.

Such comments prove maybe electrical work, compared to other utilities [not gas] and general trades, has more unaware fiddling about that becomes hazardous. Old saying applies; a little knowledge is dangerous.

Have to agree with you there on the stick weld I keep several grades and diameters in a rod keeper myself. trying to change out a spool of wire just to make a 2 minute weld on stainless or do a small amount of hard surfacing and don't even think about buying wire for welding up a small crack in cast iron.
I like the .045"duel shield flux core wire as my go to filler material for many reasons 1 I can adjust down to make welds on thin materials that would be difficult to do even with the McKay 1/16" rods or spin the setting up to lay down more filler than can be done with a 3/16"
I own several machines such as a 400 amp gasoline drive Miller 2 Miller 250 amp gas drives a Hobart 450 amp mig welder Miller 210 Amp mig 300 Amp Airco DC power supply a Lincoln 250 AC stick welder a 130 amp Hobart mig another little 130 amp mig that I can't even pronounce the name of and my latest addition is a 500 amp National AC/DC tig machine that I can't use yet because I haven't had 3 ph installed and to try and run it on a rotary phase converter would send the electric meter into orbit.I'me sure it would make my electric bill jump a 100 bucks every time I turned it on I think I may have at least 5 more welding machines that I have forgotten their names and sizes.
Like having 5 lathes 7 band saws 3 mills and 4 drill presses how many machines can 1 old man use at the same time is the question my wife always asks me.
I tell her it is not a matter of how many I use it is how well diversified and how wide of range of machines I have at my beckoned call. if I decide I have the need

Frank, appears you are on the way for the big WIN.
