Sanding down AV switch to expose brass

[darth_chasm]

I wish this was an option for me. Unfortunately I live in a NYC apartment so it's almost exclusively hand tools for me, plus a brace of drills. My girlfriend already gives me a hard time about my tools, although much less since the first saber I made (for now just an empty hilt) was for her!

Ain't building in a shoebox grand. I'm in the same boat dude. UES.

Howdy, neighbor! I've been admiring your work. Washington Heights here.

This is my progress so far. The middle ring will be something more complicated that will house the switches, but my first attempt at doing it by hand was aborted halfway through.

This was my original design, or last design before building. I did a mock up with craft foam and decided to shorten it a bit and simplify the shroud.
