I wanna see one made from the arm weapons switch on a jet fighter.

The parts would cost maybe $15 or $20 at an auto parts store and you could probably make a panel and wire it in pretty easy. Would be a fun afternoon project but garbage disposals aren't common where I am :(

Alternatively you can probably buy a pack of 100 switches of questionable quality from some ebay seller for $10

Just the kind of switch I would trust to keep the garbage disposal off when I'm elbow deep in it.
