How to Drill Switch Holes for Circuit Bending

AMANDA CLAIRE: So I found a good spot for the switch. It actually--turns out it's going to fit pretty nicely I think underneath the circuit board here. But one little tricky thing we'll have to figure out is, is how to get a hole cut on this thing big enough to fit the switch into, and it's a pretty big switch. And so, a Dremel tool is a good thing to use for that. I've started by drilling some pilot holes, you can see I've drilled some pilot holes into the case here. So I'm just gonna--kinda keep using the drill and maybe I have to use a little serrated knife or something. Like I say, Dremel tool is really good for this but I just want to get a hole on this that's big enough to hold this switch I'm trying to put in because I think it'd be a good spot for it. And then once the switch is installed, we'll go ahead and solder our wires to the contacts and get that bend installed.
