What kind of perf-board is this?

[jakenold]

I just browsed through Dano's gallery, and I remembered something I've been wanting to ask you guys for a long time.

Brian Mena of Menatone uses these great eyelet-kinda perfboards. Can I buy them like this, or does he make them? And if he does, how can I make them myself?



Thanks in advance!

Thats just plain old perf board, but someone eyeletted it.

How do I do that? Who sells the right equipment? I've checked my regular suppliers and neither have what I need it seems.

If you are lucky you can get eyelets at a fabric store. I got some at JoAnns once.
Other than that you can get eyelets at hoffman amps etc.
For perf you need 1/16" eylets but you may be able to get away with 1/8" ones.

Use a phillips screwdriver bit to flare out the back of the eyelets once they are in the board.
Hoffman has a tutorial there as well.

Thank you both of you! This will make perfing builds even more fun!

Kind regards, Jake
