Andrew,
I'm new at this. Would you mind giving a newbie some idea into the how's
and why's of using rivets of some sort to produce via's for two sided
boards? I think I've got the alignment problems licked for producing a
two-sided board, but the idea of soldering little wires in place for each
via seemed pretty laborious. I've been trying to find an easier, better way
to do it and this sounds like it might be it. If you wouldn't mind telling
me what's involved in this method, I'd certainly appreciate it, and any
other suggestions for handling two-sided boards, also.
Thanks,
Mark
