I hate dremals there too loud for nothing and ferric cloride stains everything & wears out quickly ,but on the good side it stores longer then amonium perclorite dose. you could also add that tin plateing the board after eching could be a great help in soldering & would help prevent the copper from lifting when soldering the board. but so far I am just trying to learn eagle software so far so these are just suggestions ! for now !

breadboards are so much easier

oh my god could you be any more stupid. the point is to make it more permanent after you've done all the testing on a breadboard. you dont HAVE to do it if you dont want to and no one said it was easier.

how much do you reckon the metal bit of the PCB costs ? and where do you get it ?

Hi, I found the most difficulty step is drilling the holes on PCB. That tiny drill bits are very easy to break. I already broke few of them and they are not cheap. Can you please give me some advise, thank you.
