Here you will make your awesome portable intervalometer. The radioshack IC board is perfect because it's already spaced out for an IC and has lots of copper solder points. I included a plan to fit the schematic onto this particular board. Connect the 9V an Ground anywhere they are marked.
The buttons are attached to the shutter and focus for some added functionality.
Then you need to drill some holes, solder some wires, and close it up tight.

Easier said then done I know, so here are some tips:
Draw lines on the non-copper side of the board so you can easily connect things correctly
Place your components on the non-copper side so your leads will be easy to solder.
Make sure everything fits before you drill and wire it up.
Tie a knot in the headset cord so you can keep it anchored inside your box.
Use shrink tube and/or tape to over exposed wires
Use as little wire inside as you can stand. It gets real crowded in there.
