Frankenstein Switch

Post by Bob »

Just what every shop needs:
Scrollsaw Woodworking magazine's Gizmos & Gadgets is "Must Have" literature...
In the latest issue they published plans for a Frankenstein style switch plate cover.
I don't even have a suitable switch for this cover in my shop, but I'm going to install one someplace there!
The next step is to make one with different hardwoods.

Looks like you could have some fun with this one. Just use it for switching on a high voltage demo like a Jacobs ladder.

I've been making a very similar Tic-Tac-Toe game for over a year now and also a Sea-life themed version. The Sea-life version is my biggest seller in my on-line store.

See the attached link. This one is made from Hard Maple, Walnut and Cherry and the rules of the game are carved on the back as well as my logo.

Bob,
I made the 6.25" x 6.25 .75 thick Tic-Tac-Toe with Walnut base and poplar T,s and O,s. I thought $45 was a fair price but I posted at the store for $35 and several thought it was to expensive. I guess I want make to many. Anyway on the list yours are very nice.
