Laser-guided Ghost Climber

Step 6 Attaching the lasers

One problem with using the cheapest laser pointers I could find was that they both had power buttons which required constant pressure to keep the laser turned on. This meant I had to either (a) open the case of the laser pointers and rewire the power switch or (b) find an easily reversible way to hold down the power buttons. I opted for the latter.

I found that two rows of 10mm staples make a very nice casing for a laser pointer. Not only can these be used to attach a laser pointer to a wooden turret at a precise angle, they also fit snugly enough that they can hold down the power button when required (see images).
