Saw a reference somewhere to yet another way to handmake PCBs.
You make a "parallel bladed" cutter by clamping two blades in a holder with a spacer between them. Now when you cut (hard) through the copper on a pcb, you are makng parallel tracks & you can (with difficulty) peel up the inner track.
OK, it sounds like crap to me too, and tedious, because to make a track you have to make two paths around it (like making a PCB with a tiny routing  machine) but, a lot of stuff that looks like crap to me works for others!
Also possibly dangerous, because you have to press hard with those blades. Anyway, that's it, FWIW.

Well I'm new around here so sorry if I bring something up you all know already.

Years ago I used to do some RF work, and we would breadboard on double-sided copper clad. We'd route out and isolate pads to connect the nodes of the components with a dremel tool.  This technique also left yoiu with a nice ground plane which was good for RF. You could connect the far side copper for an even better ground plane.

HTH,

very fine work for even a dremel, but with a 'ratio guide' [word]...you follow a large template or drawing say 20'' x 40',' and the dremel cuts the same shapes in a 2'' x 4'' board. using a buncha connecting arms...can't think of what they're called, 'cutting reduction jig?'.

"pantograph" I think.
