Pcb ready for drilling, tinning, and soldering


Pcb drilled and tinned. Yes I drilled my finger. Twice. Broke a drill bit off in it.

Am I a geek because I find this far too cool? I love seeing detailed work like this, and makes me wish that I had such skills (ok, I know I could, but it's probably best for the world that I didn't, lol).

BTW, sorry about your finger (and associated drill bit). Been there, done that....more than once (and you would think once would be enough...sigh).
