Knife Switch Prep

I really felt like this box needed to be turned on with a knife switch. With me not being so good at metal work this means finding something commercially available. All I could find in an appropriate size and material were these plastic single throw switches, which means converting them to double throw and creating some wooden bases for them. First these horrible things need to be dismantled. Most of the pieces are screwed in but I needed to dismantle ten pairs so even that takes a while. The brass parts are riveted in place so they needed to be drilled out. The holes in the brackets also needed to be drilled out to a mm larger to accommodate the screws that I want to put in instead. Ten sets of knife switches all prepared and ready to go into the boxes. Interestingly these things need two digital inputs and tie in nicely to the current stage of the tutorials. The other interesting thing is that you need to prove you're 18 years old before you're allowed to buy knife switches ...
