If you notice on my builds I use board mounted pots 99% of the time. I mainly do this to secure the PCB in the enclosure and not have to use double sided tape or Velcro. Instead of stocking up on board mounted pots and solider lug pots, since there are uses for both, I decided to just make my own PCB mount ones. I have been doing this for about a year and have been asked about it recently. I took some photos of the process as it really straight forward and save you some money and keep your PCB secure in your builds.
I put the pot in my helping hand:

Put the solid copper wire (22 gauge is what I use) in the eyelet:

Soldier the wire to the eyelet:

Cut the copper wire to length. The length of the wire is determined by the PCB you are mounting it to.

All done:

Here are the pots mounted on a PCB:
