Homebrew PCBs

I build my circuit on a solderless breadboard before designing the PCB (I
use EagleCAD).  Then I see the problems before doing any of the layout.

If you've got surface mount components, you can solder them to small
breakout boards for fitting onto a breadboard.

If you've got a lot of SMT, that may not be practical, but I do mostly
though-hole stuff (right now, at least).
