  • Making a Industrial Light Switch or a Steampunk Light Switch was so much fun and a great project using my Ortur Laser Master 3. You also can build this using other tools. But using the laser really helped me do things that I can't do any more due to Essential Tremors.
    Below is a list of tools and materials used in this video.

    Pro tip - you can switch to Inches mode by clicking the little box to the right of the Rotate field in the top bar marked "mm" you can even do dual units!

      You have to be kidding! That is so cool. That is going to make things so much easier. All though it probably wouldn’t hurt me to leave metric. LOL. Thanks so much for watching and the great tip!

    Brother, I love how you're continuing you're creativity and not letting your physical setback stop you! I was planning on purchasing something similar to step up my game. I also like you am leary of new computer aided tools but watching this video you've given me courage to try something new. I enjoy your videos, creativity and most of all your message letting people know that we can overcome certain things.
