I love vero even more right now

Yeah that's what it's looking like. I want to get the dremel drill press as well - that's $100.
I've never done vero before but enjoyed my success with perfboard. I just wanted the satisfaction and neatness of a pcb - I wanted an exciting challenge and I loved the experience.

The cost for me was much less as all I had to buy was the etchant, blank copper clad and some cheap plastic containers to etch in. I already have a access to a laser printer at work and I already have the rotary tool. I never spray anything on the boards when I am done, and never pre-tin them and mine work just fine.
Thanks man. Nice to hear I can get away with what you are. Gonna get myself some containers too. I ctually made a multivibrating led circuit about 10 years ago at high school. The only difference was that I drew the circuit on the board with a texta. Apart from working through projects from a book "short circuits -volume 1" on a springboard I have only made one other perfboard.
Looking very forward to making some shit.
