AMANDA CLAIRE: So I'm taking these screws out one at a time. Remember the general rule for screwdrivers and nuts and bolts is righty tighty lefty loosey, right? That means if I'm...

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...

AMANDA CLAIRE: So, I'm just going to put a little bit more solder in there so that this holds, so that it doesn't slip out the other side and ooh! A lot of this smoked. It's a...

AMANDA CLAIRE: Another thing that you should do with each of your wires before you connect them to something is to tin the tips of the wires. And what that means is you want to put--apply a very thin...

AMANDA CLAIRE: So, now, because I really don't need to get under that circuit board again, I just need it to get under there to install that switch, I've soldered my three terminals, I...

AMANDA CLAIRE: All right, so this is pretty cool. We--as you can see, we've got several wires in here now that weren't in there before. So as far as the body contacts go, this is the...

AMANDA CLAIRE: All right, so now we're going to solder our wires to the switch. Most components, whether it's a switch or a jack or a pot, if you look at the little terminals that come...

AMANDA CLAIRE: All right, looks like our project's really coming along. We got our looping switch, we got some body contacts here. Let's try them out. Let's turn it on and get...

AMANDA CLAIRE: All right. So remember, for any body contact bend you need two metal contacts on the outside because those correspond to the two points in a circuit board that you're connecting...
