Alarm Clock Board Built!

Last night, I finished the board layout in EAGLE and got to work making it:

• Turned off layers in EAGLE except layer 1 and pads, and printed to a PDF,
• Rasterized PDF in Photoshop at 1200dpi and processed into a black+white image (right),
• Laser printed onto an L.L. Bean catalog page, with the print output set to "transparency,"
• Ironed onto 2.5" x 2.2" single-sided copper clad,
• Fixed gaps with etch-resist pen,
• Rubbed off paper and etched in ferric chloride for 15 minutes (though I'll use use the HCL and peroxide method in the future),
• Rubbed away ink with acetone,
• Tested trace continuity and scraped away tiny bridges with a knife,
• Drilled out all holes (1mm bit),
• Populated with parts and soldered it up,

• Pressed chips into sockets,
• Hooked up LCD, jog/shuttle, a button and LED.

It behaved exactly like it did on the breadboard! Now I can focus on the right button/LED combo and casing, redoing the relay board, and tightening up the program.

This is my first from-scratch Arduino-compatible board-- sure to be the first of many...:)
