> > Also copper on component side is useless. This board is 2 sided > > Uhm. How can a board with copper on only one side be a 2-sided board? I think his point was that it's a "traditional" 2-sided board, but since he's home-etching and hand-soldering it, there's no point having copper on the component side *of the pin* since he won't be soldering it, and it's not electrically connected to the copper on the other side anyway. Leaving the copper annulus off the component side leaves more room for traces between pins on the component side. Besides, a board has two sides whether there's copper on them or not ;-) (the usual jokes about mobius flex pcbs excepted) http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/mobiuscircuit
