Thanks for mentioning that the sanded Acrylic tending to become more clear with finger oil! :o :o  I was going to go out to a local plastics supplier this week to GET a rod, for my buttons.  Now - I'll be asking them about a polypropylene rod. :)  Great looking buttons from your end! :)

I'll need one big enough for 5mm LEDs though, if I do the inside drilling bit.  No troubles. :)

Verowire is expensive ... it only took 1/3 of the time to wire a complete board, since it was not required to deisolate the cables with a cutter - just heat up the isolation :)

You could strip an electric motor and use the winding wire
