[Woodcarver] Light plate switches

[Denny Bell]

The metal can be quite thin and should be large enough to cover the wood over the opening of the box.  It will be over the screw holes.  The idea is that the wood will not be exposed to any sparks if the switch or outlet should malfunction.

Ok - where do you put the piece of metal on the back and how big does it need to be?  And is that anywhere near where the screws go in to attach to the inside part?  Thanks all of you for this information.  Good idea to do!

Don't anyone forget about the National Electrical Code !!!!
Combustibles are not allowed in an electrical box !
Put a piece of metal on the switch side between your wood and the switch.
DON"T be responsible for a fire.
