Making PCB designs

[Aharon]

That was one thing that eluded me mainly cause I saw it as time consuming and rather dificult to master,that was my perception.
Although that perception is somewhat true it's also true that is not THAT bad for the smaller circuits.
Much like my guitar playing that when my technique takes a leap is largely an unconcious thing(one day I wake up being able to play that song i never could)I find myself in the last couple of days churning PCBs out by the handfull (well.....only 3).
It all started when I found a graphing paper notebook (you know,the paper with all the squares)at home.
Started dooddling and before I knew it I had a couple.
I think the paper helps to find my bearings and keep it flowing.
TRY IT.
After I recheck the last one and put it into ExpressPCB I will post to debug and for consumption.
Take care

yeah~
it's pretty satisfying when you finish your own layout.. it really makes you understand why people get bent when people use someone elses layouts, and sell a batch on ebay or whatever..

I know what you mean but I have to admit that I used to get bent waiting for someone else's PCB and although there is very kind and extremely capable people out there making it easy for us DIYers (RG,Fp,JD,JAck et all)I felt a lesser human(lol).I'm not going to say that I will make a PCB for a TZ flanger tomorrow,I don't even know if the ones I've made are correct and error free and I'm sure I made some beginner mistakes but it's a start and I'm on my way to self sufficiency.
I'm also working on designing the circuits,that will complete the circle.
