PCB Binder

Step 2 Desolder the backside PCB

Now that you have an idea of what you want the binder to look like its time to get to the hard part

there are some nice instructables on desoldering complicated stuff

Also a tip by Ductape667 was to set the entire PCB on an electric skillet and then plucking off all the components of the PCB

for all you scavengers this should be easy, for the rest of us, when patience runs out use the dremmel tool but use it wisely, cut the leads as far from the board as possible so you can desolder them separately (usually the hardest stuff to desolder is "multi-pinned" stuff

You need to desolder the back panel... because it needs to be flat on that side so you can lay it on your desk and also, those leads can damage your notes or hands if you are not careful (however thats also what the foam and contact cement is used for, you can cover the leads with a sheet of foam)

for me this was the hardest part because im not to patient and this takes quite some time to desolder with a 25w soldering iron and some pliers., to get each lead out i used the tip of the iron and a knife to pick each lead out of the board as you desolder it in just one move (use the tip and the knife as "chopsticks"... -.- using both hands)
