In my never ending attempt to provide the best grounding system I was able
to pick up some pretty think, wide copper strips from a local sheet metal
company.
It was scraps left over from making a copper roof on a bay window.
I took a couple of ground rods and with my saw and a vise cut a slot
lengthwise at the top of the rod.
I made up a jig to hold the rod and guide the saw.
The saw blade was a close match for the copper thickness.
I then drilled three holes through the slotted ground rod.
After installation of the rods, I slid the copper in the slot, drilled
through the copper and used small brass screws, washers and nuts.
It sure seemed like a good mechanical connection.
Anybody see any problem with this?
