Homebrew PCBs

I still can't find the link, but one of the ways I do it is to pull 
the pins out of a chp socket or an inline header.  they come out 
pretty easy.

then put them on a second socket for alignment and spacing and then 
put them thru the PC board.

I can solder the bottom and then remove the upper carrier or if I did 
not puress them down, I can solder with the upper carrier in place.

But, this method requires a second device and that is what I was 
trying to get away from.
