PC SPEAKERS: Wired volume remote control with perfume cap

PC SPEAKERS: Wired volume remote control with perfume cap

(Before all: sorry my english I from Brazil...)


Hi, my mother bought a edifier 2.1 PC speaker with wired remote control. (Photo 1)
It's very nice and easy to use...but expensive, and knob volume is a little small...

I like big volume knobs, like another wired remote control from edifier (look  below)...but more expensive yet...

The most of big volume knobs are soft to rotate and smooth to touch ... like my Yamaha receiver and others ...and more: some light big knobs you can control it with only a finger!

My PC speaker is  a cheap clone 2.1 system.  Knob volume is small, away from hands and not smooth...after some time thinking about a way to solve my "problem" without spending much money... I had a idea...

You will need:
1 - phone cable or lan cable
2 - Plier
3 - Carolina Herrera 212 for men. :)  (or another perfume cap - or something rounded and cool) 
4 - Iron solder
5 - Araldite glue or another strong glue...
6 - isolating ribbon
7- a match or peace of hard plastic
8 - Strong double face tape
9 - Small plastic box.

Comments with eulogy or criticism will are welcome. 

:)

Pretty cool project, the Carolina Herrera cap look's like those big knobs found in some old yamaha receivers.
