This is my second Onesie build. These things are fun. And they sound fabulous. I had been wanting to do an Altoid tin build for years, and finally have gotten to do one. I went for the battery option instead of a power jack. I couldnt fit both. At least I didnt have the patience to fit both. :-) I figured if you are going to make a pocket size Altoid pedal, it should at least have a battery in it. Enjoy.

Hey.....before I rape my Altoids tin with my step bit, is there another way I should go about making the holes? Any tips?

I used a spring loaded punch to carefully start the hole. then I used a very small bill to drill the pilot. And then I stepped it up very slowly to the proper hole size. dont push down on the drill. Otherwise you crush the tin.

Nice man! Those things will fit just about anywhere a 3PDT will fit.

I'm thinking about doing a different circuit with the same setup. Or maybe a mini perf-on-switch kind of thing. Hmmm

This looks great!
I've done a few Altoid enclosures. When drilling, I always put the tins on the end of a piece of lumber,
then you can drill as hard as you want to because the wall of the enclosure is supported by the wood you're drilling into.

That isnt neccessary if you use a step bit and go slow... but yeah, that will work too.

Thanks for all the good feedback guys.
