    This is a variation of a Western Union splice. Without applying solder, I would not trust this connection. A proper Western Union splice using solid copper wire has a long history of being reliable.

    Rick, I saw this and immediately thought, "where's the solder?" when he finished it.

    What's with the red and green? I guess for a demo it's okay.
