Homebrew PCBs

Hi Sam,

I'll post a picture of some CEM-1 this weekend.

I find the shear more convenient than any other method I've tried 
(power mitre saw, snips, utility knife, jig saw, sears 
handicutter).  My small shear has a guide, so edges are straight and 
true, and you're right - there's no waste.

If you send me your mailing address off list, I'll send you a couple 
strips (tell me what width you want).

Regards,
Dennis
