Homebrew PCBs

Its funny you post this as just today I received my drill bit order 
from tinker's emporium.  apparently they were on vacation all 
february...

I haven't had a chance to use them but they seem to be fairly well 
made bits with 1/8" shaft.   If they are any good I'll order more as 
they are pretty inexpensive.
