Great idea! only problem is the pots I got from tayda... alpha ones with the sweet little plastic dust/conductive covers, dont fit into the holes of the vero and perf I received from them. Do you have to sand down the terminals to get them to fit? I was also thinking I could enlarge the holes on teh perf but I thought that might ruin the copper traces. eh?

Nah, I do that with perf and vero all the time.

That hand drill is called a "pin vise" and they have em at about every hardware and hobby store. They're phenomenally useful for vero/pcb stuff.

depends on the size of the strips and spacing and all that. The pin vise that I bought is just a chuck that holds bits, so I robbed whatever old bit i had lying around that was big enough to easily remove all the copper on vero and used that.
