Step 3On perf board and component leads
you can find perf board online or at places like radio shack. its really handy, and you can use an exacto or a box cutter to score along the perferation and break off pieces you need.
my project here is 11x9 holes. depending on the size of your components and your layout, your size my vary.
another good idea is to lay out your components before you cut (to know how much you need) as well as after you've cut it. knowing where things go before you start speeds up the process and prevents having to go back.
one last tip: when cutting off excess component leads, you can save them and use them to make connections to the bottom of your board.
