Great hints and kinks on prototyping with copper clad boards. I need a Dremel just so that I can make Leo&#8217;s board cutter.

Teflon coating for the wires &#8212; gotta get it. <\/b><b>Glad to see that Leo is also a fan of copper tape.<\/b><br \/> <b><br \/><\/b> <b>His emphasis on the importance of stage-by-stage construction and testing is right on the mark. <\/b><br \/> <b><br \/><\/b> <b>My only disagreement with Leo is about his use of steel wool. I&#8217;ve found that steel wool will inevitably cause little tiny &#8220;Murphy Whiskers&#8221; to float around your workbench. They will eventually settle onto the most inconvenient and damaging place on your board. So I have banished steel wool from my workshop. Those green, non-metallic Scotch Brite pads work just as well and don&#8217;t cause shorts. <\/b><br \/> <b><br \/><\/b> <b>Three cheers for Leo. He is based in Thailand. He has an interesting background and some really amazing projects and insights: <\/b><br \/> <b><br \/><\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luminati.aero\/leofernekes\">http:\/\/www.luminati.aero\/leofernekes<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fernekes.com\/blog\/\">http:\/\/www.fernekes.com\/blog\/<\/a><br \/> <b><br \/><\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCe1bjEcBichpiAMhExh0NiQ\/videos\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCe1bjEcBichpiAMhExh0NiQ\/videos<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <b>Thanks to Tore LB4RG for alerting us to Leo&#8217;s video. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, lots of wisdom in this video from Leo Fernekes.
