my latest home project

So question regarding the valves. Showed my fiance your work and she thought you did a great job but her only comment was.. Could the valves act as a dimmer instead of on/off? How much more complicated would that make it..

On another note. I work with those valves everyday and I know the internals but I cant grasp how you gutted them and made them a on/off switch.... Just perplexes me

I used a cheap rotary switch inside a 1" tee. You could find a small rotary dimmer I'm sure. I made the shaft and drilled a hole in a pipe plug. No valve to beggin with. I got the handles at a local scrap yard and blasted and coated them. I will find pics of switch
