Break Stuff!

Okay, we're almost ready to start soldering the LED's together. We bought perfboard to line the rails, but we had to cut it. We tried to use an exacto-knife to cut it first, but that was unsuccessful. Then we thought that we could cut it with a table saw or jigsaw or handsaw, but any that we tried just shattered the perfboard. (Seen in the picture)














So, we just broke it! We clamped down the perfboard under a metal bar and bent it up evenly with another metal bar so that it would snap at the spot that we wanted.

Now we have enough to go around our plexiglass!
