Oh hell - we all learn from each other's posts. The true beauty (and the

Don't read into what you read too much. It's really straightforward stuff.
So... now that you're thinking about using conduit - go out and buy yourself
a 1/2" EMT bender. While away the hours between now and mid-March, studying
how to bend EMT, practicing it, learning how to quickly get rid of those
nasty pretzel bends that you'll be guaranteed to make in the beginning, and
by mid-March, you'll be up on your ladder hanging conduit. You'll love it -
it has such an industrial look. Really impresses the chicks...


It would take me until mid-March to get one "box offset" done right. I
suck at bending conduit.

They actually make an offset bender. Most of the work we did was up
in scissor lifts where it was hard to bend. So we would pop the end
in the offset bender pull the lever and perfect. But its not that
hard if you have the shrinkage formula and use the conduit seem for
alingnment.
