Appreciation post: That one guy who caught my bad wire splice

Installed a panel at a house on Maple Street last Tuesday and had this old timer customer watching me work in his garage. He pointed out my splice job on the transformer wires, said it would fail in a year or two. Taught me how to do a proper Western Union splice right there on the spot. Anyone else had a random customer teach them something useful?

Did he show you the trick with twisting the wires tight before soldering it?

Wait, he actually had you strip the wires with your teeth? That's wild, I've never seen anyone do that before and survive.
