Hi everyone, and thanks for the warm welcome Stefan. I poked
around and saw the database and photos, and was darn impressed. I
ran down to the WalMart in town here to find the cheapest glossy
photo paper I have ever found, and am itching to try out the toner
transfer method with it.
I was especially impressed with the photos under the headed
of "TT8mil". Who did them, and with what method? The board looks
great.
What seems to be the software of choice that people find the
easiest to use for layout?
I have an Eagle question too. I find that I'd like the holes on
many parts that are in the Eagle libraries are just too small for me
to drill by hand, and I'd like to make them bigger, but I don't want
to modify every part file to update the hole size. Is there any way
to do this easily? I've found kind of a crazy way that works is to
actually place big vias over the pads. Eagle won't let you directly
place a via over a pad, however, it will let you place one close to
it, then scoot it over the pad after it's been placed. It's kinda
corny, and takes a while. There's got to be a better way. :)

Thanks in advance,
Josh
