Fuses
You would be surprised how many files are out there that use what
falls under the category of a "fuse." They assume that you just
have a few lying around, or know where to get them. Well, in some
parts of the country, fuses are extremely hard to come by. so
this file tells you how to make your own. Both fuses presented
here are fairly simple to make, and are fairly reliable.
