Texts from the video:
- I made two small blocks from solid wood
- and I cut off a nearly 1"/2,5cm long piece from a 0,5"/12,5cm inch rod
- I gave a quick sand to every edge and side to make the wood blocks nearly equal wide
- I used CA glue to stick the blocks to a thin piece of veneer
- Try to make the blocks parallel to avoid the unnecessary sanding
- I did the same to the opposite side
- I marked the center of the rod piece with an awl, this is going to be the knob for the switch
- I drilled a matching size hole for the screw head
- I fixed it with CA glue and tried to do my best to make it straight
- I put more glue onto it just in case
- I sanded down the sides with a belt sander but the hole project can be made with only handtools and drill
- To speed up the shaping process I cut off the most of the material with a scissors
- Still sanding...
- Take the awl again and mark the center on the top
and drill a slightly smaller hole than the screw
- This two tiny metal pieces are called solder tab, I bent one end
- Any electrically conductive metal can be used
- I used CA glue again to stick the metal pieces to the wood
- I glued one to the bottom of the empty space and the other to the top, the key is to leave space between them
- I wanted to leave only one side open so I glued another piece of veneer to the third side
- There is nothing left just to sand it down and put the knob into and it's ready to use
- I made a simple circuit to show you how this switch works
- I connected a 3.6V battery and a rgb LED diode to the switch with alligator wires
- Just turn the knob clockwise!
- How this works? When you turn the knob clockwise it pushes the two metal pieces together which closes the circuit
- If you want to see how I use this switch in an upcoming project, don't forget to subscribe!
