CUTTING BLANK RISTON (AE) BOARDS

With your NEGATIVES now in hand and touched up (via DALO PEN), and with 
Black Ink or XACTO No.16 knife, the negatives are close trimmed with 
scissors (to within 1/10" of the actual border of the supposed finished 
circuit board) with either mounting holes in the board pattern or just 
external to border.

Mounting holes are essential for 'clamping' them together up to 3 at
time (a common circuit board manufacturing, well practiced process).

So take 'finished ready to go' carefully over to the blank raw stock
of Riston 'AE' Coated Copper clad material and cut a blank (or 3)  
approx 1/4" larger than the actual negative.

This seeming 'waste' is not a waste during the final process, and for
economics it is essential for a 100% success of total process.

Note: At this point the Negative should be 'pcb strip tape' assembled
for Double Sided NON-PLATED THROUGH Process and D/S Blanks are cut.

The assembly of a Double Sided set of negatives should be assembled
on a Light table, as Top/Bottom Registration (Line-UP) is essential for
production and professional presentation. (remember GI-GO)

This facility is only thinking in a maximum of 3+ (of the same type) for
prototypes etc.  and any more is basically production, so therefore not
done on a SATURDAY 3 Day , but made through the week in normal time.

When we say 2+ or 3+ I am indicating The Dad/Mum and Son/Daughter, as I 
only want workers, no tourists and/or tyre kickers.

Your board design pattern should be there-abouts a common envelope
size, or simply speaking, we run out of time to complete the process.

Until I see how the amateur's fit in making circuit boards, I think I
will take a maximum of 2+ to 3+ individuals wanting to make boards.

My estimated timings on the master web page, will be adjusted as the
various processes are tested under battle
