Re: Homemade 100W resistor?

Large wattage resistors are quite expensive and I am always needing
different values in the 1-20 ohm range.
Can anyone tell me the best way to make a 100W resistor out of found
or inexpensive materials as in homemade construction? Something with
a
sliding tap to adjust resistance would be handy.
100W would be ideal, but if that is not practical I could accept a
smaller rating and run them in parallel.
Thank you for any advice on this topic.
