Foot operated remote for minidisc player

Step 3 So to the remote

Requirements:
- foot operated
- robust
- low profile - I have to use it with my foot remember

Materials:
- 3 x Big heavy duty Impact resistant waterproof single pole make/break switches. These are the sort of switches used in industrial settings to take a blow from people or machinery in order to actuate. The tops are all metal.
- 3 x small white waterproof single pole make/break push switches
- 1x rocker switch. This one has a waterproof hood.
- 2 x single pole toggle switches
- Some wire
- An 8 pin din plug
- some wooden batten offcuts and some hardboard

(I use water in my shows, so thought some waterproofing was probably a good idea)

Currently the case is wooden (and has no sides) as there were some handy offcuts. I may (or may not) one day re-box this...

Originally i was going to use an 8pn din male to male lead, with a socket in the remote. However, I abandoned that Idea, as it was quicker to just cut the end of the pre-wired lead and wire it in directly. It also means there is one less connection to make when it comes to setting up my puppet booth, and that the wire is less likely to be knocked out by my feet mid show.

The decal is applied with a fine line ink pen directly on to the hardboard shell.
