also with AC voltage you could make by mistake a inductor or aircore coil this can be bad for ac voltage. phone lines as well especialy when they have ADSL running through them can be really bad you will get problems with line noise in some cases your modem will not connect or connect then disconnect. best not to weave cables but to cable tie them or if you move things alot use velcro its cheap from craft store.

This article worries me! Anyone who has ever seen what happens to an extention lead if too much current is drawn will know you should warn people. If you plug this in and the device starts to draw extra current (eg you stall the drill) you might end up with a pile of melted plastic and some pretty flames. BE CAREFUL!

I think I understand, but step 3 could be elaborated on for clarity. Maybe add in a few pictures showing the twist?
