Still can't understand how you ended up with that heap of half-done boards
there ;-)
10 of them, drilled, professionally done by futurlec cost only 40USD.
Thats $4 a board.
I recommend you simply order them there.
If for some unfathomable reason you don't want professionally made boards
at this incredible price I can offer to do them for the same, but without
drilling. Surely you would have to be crazy (you might be for all I know,
if you really think your wife isn't going to suss out the blackpool thing
as soon as you suggest as much as going away ;-) ).
Convenience and speed seems just about the only reason these days to make
your own boards, price certainly isn't.
