To me, it would be kind of interesting to do some K&T installation, just to see how it "felt" to use that method.
Couldn't see putting it in some structure for permanent wiring, but it would make a cool display, or maybe a company based tech lessons thingee done in the shop.

Install a few circuits, some switch legs, then heat it up.

Would be cool to say to myself "I have installed Knobs and Tubes, plus separate free air conductors, and in the K&T fashion".

Just my thoughts.

P.S. what's the Insulation type for K&T conductors?? i.e. what's the materials and the NEC / ANSI / IEEE / ?? recognized abbreviations [like THWN: T=Thermoplastic, H= Heat res. {75c}, W=Wet location, N=Nylon jacket]. Think these are correct [??] Feel free to blast away with the flame thrower if needed [Linked Image]
