Circuit Carpentry

R.G.	Circuit Carpentry OK, here's one for the true DIY-er. Lay out your circuit, figure out where you want the parts and pieces to go, and then cut a piece of wood to fit the layout overall. Wherever there's a tie point, drive a nail into the wood, leaving about 1" of nail above the wood. Use the nails like you would turrets. You can also drive nails wherever you want wire routing guides to keep the wiring neat. Brass pins are probably better for non-corrosion, but steel nails will work.
