Hand-pieces / Tweezers
The second hand-piece I built was a set of tweezers.  The tweezers have stainless steel replaceable tips which are held in place with 4-40 set screws.  Each side of the tweezers was machined from � brass stock on my lathe and was covered with black walnut handles.  The hinge was from a simple jewelry box and the spring from a ball point pen.  Again, banana plugs were soldered on the leads.  Dimensions are shown in Diagram 2

A floor switch is used with the tweezers.  It�s basically a lever actuated switch from some sort of industrial machine.  The switch is mounted to a base plate made of �� thick steel. It plugs into the hand-piece control and becomes SW2.  It�s finished with brass hardware, and painted to match.
