Homebrew PCBs

Hello Paul.

Yes that was a very educational site.  I was going to order 100 of the middle size eyelets but the $15 for shipping was a deal breaker for me since I only needed 3 or 4 eyelets.

Thank you for the link I will keep them in mind and did bookmark them.

  I'd poke a thin piece of wire through the hole with the pin and make the 
  missing connections with that.
