Homebrew PCBs

alternatly, if you are on a tight budget like me just use some
scissors- I do all the time to cut pcbs large and as small as ~1cm(2).

 The only problem with using scissors or any similar type of cutting
tool is that sometimes the corners can get a slight 'warp' to them,
but no big deal- just flatten them out again and off you go. m2c,, jd
