I finished my mechanical lightswitch. It used gears in a rotating motion to create a vertical motion which flipped the switch on and off. Above I put in a link to the light switch moving. I really enjoyed this project. First we had to wax all the pieces. After that, we assembled all of them. I learned how to use two machines while building this. I learned to use the sander which sanded the wood and made rounded edges, and the drill press which made cut off some wood around the part where the nail goes in. I can’t wait to see what we will be making next!
