I really dont know yet.

Ill probably just pull some figure out of the air for the first jobs, and then see what sort of bother they actually are!

Initially ill make a few boards for UK people, where its easier to get quick feedback (given that people are generally awake here at 
more of less the same time as me) and correct errors etc, and then, if that goes well, open it out to evreyone.

On the strenght of the interest here, ill buy the parts that are needed to streamline production, and probably start in the next 
month or so.

So, yes, if there are any UK people with somewhat less demmanding designs to start with then they would be the ones to go with 
first.

Things that make production simpler are -

Single side
Resonable pad size
All holes same diameter
Not crazy small isolation

...and then if people are happy, can start getting more and more complex.

Like i say, ive been cutting my own boards for a while now but these havent been hugely demanding / complex, so i would rather start 
on the easy stuff that i know i can do and then work up from there, rather than dissapoint people with shoddy work before the more 
complex techniques are fully practiced.
