[sdiy] DIY Keyboard - Need Pitch bend / mod wheels

[Heitor Alves]

Hey Chris!

Grab a piece of plexiglass, about 20cmx20cm, make a hole in the middle, put
a bolt in that middle, attach it to the drill and start spinning slowly, and
with a sand paper start "sanding" the spinning plexiglax... it will turn out
to become round (cut the most possible so it would be easy to sand it).

Use the center hole to attatch the pot and make a small mark that indicates
the middle of the wheel. if you would like to make it "cooler" put a bright
led inside the plexiglass (the plexiglass must be 4mm min.)

Hope it helps!
