That was kind of my intent when I put this out there. I figured it looked easy enough (and cheap enough) that ppl would try it as their first mod and learn that modding is not as hard as that may have thought.
It's definitely not my best mod (or the mod I use every day), but it is a fairly easy build for a beginner, and will get a person comfortable with the basics of modding.
This is one of the reasons I just went with the tack switch. It made the build much easier for a beginner. But, like Dreams said (and I said in the first post), it is way under rated for this application. The switch may burn out after a couple months (I'm just guessing...I still have not seen one blow), but I am pretty sure it will hold up long enough for a person to be proud of their first mod.
On the subject of the switch... I am pretty close to making a good mechanical switch to replace the tac switch. If anyone has any ideas for this I'd love to hear them. I have lots of ways to do mechanical switching, but I am set on making a switch out of that one piece that we didn't use (the half of the batt connector with spring that we cut off). I haven't perfected it yet, but it's close. (I did have to add a nail to the parts list though) Here is a (not very good) pic...
