The only comment I have on Glen B is that he is brave...I am a EE Yet I have never been comfortable building anything that even has a remote chance of sparking or catching fire.
(When I was 8 I modified a ocillating fan control and it sparked and knocked me flat, memorable).
His design looks sound but I perfer to shell out $80 for a good Triplite AC filter surge protector.

The only parts of concern are the Auricaps. A number of companies are using them as differential filters in their products, most notably Balanced Power Technologies. I am not alone in my bravado.
