He almost got it right, just add water and wood surround is not nearly as conductive as metal, safety first

At least that one looks good. Myself and another HI went over to help a friend's Dad with an "electrical problem". They had tapped into the side of the dryer outlet to: run a deep well pump, run electricity out to a pole barn, provide a plug receptacle for an RV and provide 230 volts for a welder. All of this was being protected with a 40 amp breaker at least 20 years old. It got smoke checked is why we got the call. They fixed it that afternoon, but I was not there for that evolution. It made my bo-hiney hurt just looking at it.

Human brains are wonderful but dangerous things......allow us to think of a hundred ways to do it wrong when they may be one way to do it right.

The best one I ever saw was a 12/2 tapped into the main lugs BEFORE the main breaker, then buried about 8 inches underground for about 20 feet to the shed where there was a dryer. It was a rental and the tenant hit it with a shovel while digging for a garden, it blew a hole in the shovel, of course no breaker to trip.
