my hands are medium. the mod is 1 x 1.7 x 3.5"
and yes ↑, yes ↑. I've got some internal pics too. I'm also going to do a vid of atty swapping. Since the atty has to seat fully on the switchplate, the 510+ needs to be relieved and then brought back up to kiss the new atty on the + . However, I've designed the internals to be all finger-worked. No tools, just an opposable thumb and a fingertip to team up with.

It's a FatDaddy; but I'm just using the adjustability as I believe Dennis (FD) intended it . .. . IDK. But, yeah, it is a little Dublin'ish in that one seats the atty first and then brings the +pin up to it . . . but here it's with fingers.
btw: don't anyone "dis" that switch like it was the one I mentioned last night. I made a new switch this morning and I'm pretty happy with this one. So, "dis" it knowing that yer gonna hurt my feelings .. . .
Just thinking through the woodworking involved it looks a lot less labor intensive.
Not saying I could do it though.

I was rather admiring the switch, it's better than i thought it would be given the time you had!
I just had to demonstrate to HRH the exact size of the mod - it is tiny.

Seriously, the mod looks great. I love the size and the very clean, all-wood look. But that switch looks like it will snag on things big time.
comparisons . . . .
How do you choose between them [emoji16] heads or tails

There's a hell of a lot fewer parts to make; and, therefore, a lot less alignment/matching of those parts, machining to receive those parts, detailing-gluing-flushing-assembling-maintenance-troubleshooting questionmarks, yada . . . .. yada.
I couldn't have done the internal machining of the body when I first started. That's just me and what tooling I have. Someone else mighta-coulda just fine. But, somewhere along the line there, in getting the chops to always get the machining right every time, I got to where I could do this (not just once, by accident, but every time on purpose). Pro'ly it was a while ago; but this whole internals layout and overall design just came out of me now. There's very little in it that's "original". I don't think I invented anything here. I think I just took the same "ingredients" that everybody has available and made "This" particular soup with it. A lot of the applications are a conglomerate of a lot of bits and pieces I've seen on the forum and around.
I would also say that this one will be a lot easier for modders to DIY. So, this design is actually also kind of a "gift" to those who can do it themselves, or tweak the idea into something that their tooling and skills will allow for.

I always seem to get lucky and come around just at the right times..Marvelous idea on the +/- contact..Now I'll have to stick around and cause much mischief to see the final results in that switch Peter...heh heh heh
Well, I'm gonna run it for a while and see how it works. I don't tend to handle my mods in such a way where there's "snagging" to be done; but that's just me. And, like I said, this design is what I want. If anyone else wants it too, cool!
