Well, it's obvious when you see it. That's the reason I want to make a video. It's a bit difficult to describe without pictures. The main point is to solder all you components on one of those veroboards with single copper islands and put your components ( any through-wire like DIP, resistor, transistor etc. but not SMD ) real close to eachother. Then you solder wire-wrap wire between all the islands to make all the contacts. Soldering 30 AWG wire to components placed only 100 thousands apart would for most people be a very hard and slow task using tweezers and probably messing up the board. So that's were the real trick lies. It involves sliding the insulation of the wire back and forth. That's the part you have to see with your own eyes and which is a bit hard to describe. Once you see it, it's completely obvious. It's one of those things that make you hit your head against the table and say "Why did I never come up with that myself?". But it only works well with the high quality wire-wrap wire ( 30 AWG silverplated full core copper with Kynar insulation ) but wire-wrap wire is easy to get... You will see ;-)<br>

Man I'm so curious now...any chance of a short description of the technique in text?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 12:01 PM, Michael Korntheuer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michael@michael.be" target="_blank">michael@michael.be</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I have been using this electronics prototyping technique to make very compact<br> and reliable circuits without making a PCB. I showed it yesterday to Mitch. <br>I have been using this trick for many years both professionally and just for fun<br>
but as far as I know it was never been put on the net. I would like to make <br>a short video to be put on youtube/instructables/hack-a-day but I don’t have<br> any experience with that nor have I the needed recording material/software. <br>
So I’m looking for somebody who can help me recording and editing. <br>The camera should have some kind of macro capability to show the soldering. <br>I think it would be really useful for a lot of people because this technique is cheap<br>
and very simple but still very reliable ( I really do use it professionally ). <br>I’m still in San Francisco until Sunday ( I leave in the evening for Brussels )<br> so if anybody is interested to help me just let me know. <br>
