WOw, I didn't expect such a great responce to my question. It as
been a great help. Well, Last niht I decid to do a test run. I drill
a few holes with 1/32 inch dril on an unecth left over copper board.
I hit the center well close to the center with a nail to make a dent
and use tat as a guide. It turn out that with a guide the drillin was
not too far off een with my cheapo press. The problem that I
encounter is that the pads arwe not big enoght. Once the hole is
drill there is little left of the pad. I'm going to have to go back
andadd extra thickness. The thing is that I only have three PnP
sheets left . I was thinking just to add a little extra thicknes to
the pads using a sharpie but in reality I think thats doing things
half ass. Wel, Ill keep you posted on what hapens. I plan to do this
this weekend.
