[dorkbotnyc-blabber] pcb etching supplies

[douglas irving repetto]

Unfortunately lots of people were being kind of macho with the puff 
sensors, activating them with their hands, bending them far 
backwards, etc. It just needs to be readjusted slightly to work 
again. Thanks for the heads up.

Milling PCBs is really fun. There's been a pretty long learning 
curve, but we're doing pretty well with it now. We stil haven't 
tackled vias for 2 layer boards. Has anyone done vias on hand-etched 
boards? Have you used little rivets or some other technique?
