the cheese instead of a visual warning is more a smello-warning.
ive seen a few nails used in my day; silver foil was a regular usually wrapped around fuse

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Whilst the above posts are amusing, they will do little to encourage Thommy to regard AoS as a "safe space" for him to discuss his design and construction of a mains cable. His post makes no mention of mains connectors, so it is a little unfair to show examples of the flagrent disregard and the overiding of mains plug safety features.
It would be much better to allow Thommmy to describe his design before opening it up for discussion and comment.

I read TAOS, safe space, and life stuff and assumed this was about something completely different! Got that wrong.

Theories are not so much answers as questions, to be supported or undermined by experience & testing.

I'm Thommy.
Some hilarious responses here, thanks guys
Next time I make a cable I'll take some pics, post the construction process and if I omit the instructions on which wire goes to which pin on the plug, then that way TAOS should be out of the line of fire in case of any mishaps.
Personally I think that if you can't wire a plug correctly you have no business being in a DIY electronics forum to begin with. The discussion I want to kick off is more related to copper cross-section, insulation of the wires and interference rejection properties - rather than which wire goes to which pin on the plug.

OK, I’m happy to start:
- The cross section of the wires needs to be sufficient to carry the current required by the equipment. Anything more is a pointless.
- Insulation of the wires is a good idea otherwise they’ll short out.
- Interference rejection is the job of the equipment, not the cable.
Engineers: fixing problems you didn't know you had in ways you don't understand.
Actually, that reminds me, I must unplug the the kettle cable from my amp and return it to the kitchen.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
I recently found that a DIY Supra shielded mains cable I made years ago was causing a fizzy sort of noise through the speakers when used with Class D amps. Everything construction wise was fine. I swapped in an old kettle lead and it was silent! Don't be too hasty to get it back in the kitchen!
