Ramblings of an E-Geek
I don’t need no stinking drill press!  That’s right.  I drill my holes by hand.  Yes, I even own a rather large drill press, but I find it easier to achieve the precision I’m looking for with a simple hand drill.
This is one of the 7 segment display boards for the scoreboard.  I did the layout in Eagle and then used the toner transfer method to put it on some 4”x6” copper clad I bought on Ebay.  I use a solution of diluted HCl and H2O2 as etchant.  It works great and is a bit greener than the Ferric Chloride method.  Do a search at Instructables.  There’s a couple instructables on this method of etching.
