Homebrew PCBs

Hopefully I will be in a hardware store or even grocery store this 
weekend and I will pick some tarnex up.  Even if I don't have time 
for working on the printer, I can still do some experiments with the 
Tarn-x to see if I can notic a difference.

The EDM does sound very interesting too and at some point in time I 
will probably go that route too - just because it sounds so cool to 
experiment with and learn about.  But, in order for me to even 
attempt it, I will need all you "brainiacs" to figure all the 
electronics out :-)
