Are there any tutorials or sites recommended on perforated board construction...the kind without copper pads or any printed on connections...I'm sure it's more work of course, but I just find it interesting. I found a mention of soldering both sides where the leads pass through the boards...and soldering component to component...
Any info would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks all,
Jeffrey

I cant think of any ,its fairly simple depending on what your building.
For some good examples of how to do it/ lay it out ,search Frequency Central ,and look at Rick Holt's excellent work with perf. :icon_wink:
Also the ROG (run off groove) web site has lots of good examples of perf jobs as well as on their original Home Wrecker site.
I'm no EE or even a tech,just a monkey with a soldering iron that can read,and follow instructions. ;D

I've found recently that there are a ridiculous number of "how-to" vids on youtube. It's always worth taking a look. I just recently learned from a youtube vid how to trim a rack of spare ribs "St. Louis" style and remove the membrane, for example. Best spare ribs I ever ate, BTW...  :icon_wink:

If you do searches on "perf board" there are other vids too. BTW- I would suggest pulling the components down snug to the board. I usually keep one lead straight and loop the other lead around it, pinching it tight, before soldering.
