Ha Ha! That's how you buy them Harbal, they are called 'Veroboard' and come in various sizes, just about any circuit you can mention can be adapted to fit those boards. I find it very engrossing working out how to layout the components for best effect. Like doing a puzzle....

It would be more like a puzzle if you had to fill all the holes before it was finished.

No, I'm just offering an uneducated opinion.

If they are of interest - on cost.
That sounds brilliant Besoeker, back in the early days I would scrounge parts from old tellys, radios, and all manner of electronic equipment, I now have a very extensive range of components to work with, but you can never have too many.
On certain projects though where specified parts are required, like IC's or semiconductors, I revert to buying them. The circuit described in my project requires a MOSFET and a couple of IC's, but I will explain about those later. Thanks for your offer Besoeker...

Re: Foxy's Latest Project.

Electronics, I once new a Wizard who could repair anything electronic, but, his self restricted him, just for ego, (or something to occupy the mind) he repaired stuff for folks FOC. That is stupid in the rationale extreme, but was rational in context..

It is possible to purchase circuit board without the holes Harbal. The board is covered with copper on one side and you can etch the shape of your circuit using acid to burn off the unwanted bits of copper, you can then drill just the right number of holes you need....So no wasted holes...

Thanks Foxy. I'll dig up what I can in the shed tomorrow.
