That's a handy and highly decorative rebar fence, isn't it?
I wonder if he has his Handyman Club of America card yet...

I figure it is using the 220 plug in the mains of the house and
that might be a rectifier for DC. The in-line tubular chunk of
whatever. Large Diode array that is maybe 200A rating and 600v.

There needs to be a current limiter, though. It IS going to stick.

The #8 wire may be the "current limiter." It reminds me of an old
design for making a welder out of a big car alternator. The wire size
was the resistor.

That is what a Toaster is - a dead short in the switch and a power
source that connect back through the hot elements.

Current limiting wire and outside - self cooling. maybe. Duty cycle...
