Yup. Coming soon along with CAD package, both as built and done "right". 
I'll wait till Monday to snap some pics. (My manicurist ran away, along with 
the maid and gardener.)

Great ideas, Allan. Simple is great.

Mike.

PS: I etched the first board this evening using the Pulsar newbie kit. (Very 
fast etch times using their sponge trick. It was a touch over a minute at 
room temperature on 1/2 oz. copper.) Good clean 10 mil traces and spaces 
across most of the board. A small burr on the cut edge kept part of the 
transfer from bonding to the remainder. Not sure what to cut the board with. 
I tried scissors, a fine toothed panel blade on the tablesaw blade, and also 
mashed up the cutter wheel on the rotary paper trimmer in vain. I think the 
past two days adds up to needing a throatless shear for the shop. What do 
you guys use?

Oh, and the "drill press" works beautifully. It cries out for a lock in the 
up position, but the scrap board prop will work fine for a while.
