in my machine shop class in highschool i used the lathe and made some out of aluminum and polished em up they came out pretty good
and i passed my class for em too

lol ive never seen anyone use an actual lightswitch.. that would be funny tho
a big ass box full of lightswitches

i like toggle switches because they click and arent super easy to click back over and drop your shit if u bump a switch
