Wife just dropped these off at the post office this morning.

The rest of you, should already have gotten all your cards. 

And for anyone still interested, I have about 10 or 15 each of these left, so if you want one or will want one, give it some thought.

Good deal, since yours went out this morning, and you're so close, you probably will get them tomorrow if not the next day.  Great work on the soldering trick, BTW.  They turned out fantastic.

I have used a dremel, or my milling machine, or a belt sander, any will work.  Also, I notice a new payment, but please include your mailing address, forum name and what you are ordering with the paypal info, makes it much easier on my end.

Did you tape them up so the solder didn't flow onto the wide traces?

I masked off the thick traces, and lightly traced them with the tip. Then used soldering brad to remove the excess and thin it out.

Did you read his comment?  :-\
Also, he said he would post an instructional video, so we can all just wait and see how exactly he did it.  ;)

You CAN do that... but only with some tape that doesn't melt... painters tape, regular tape will melt and contaminate the solder. The only tape you might be able to mask with is aluminum or mylar. I didn't have any... so I just use caution. ^_^

Sorry guys... time to take care of my little one, and tonight I'll edit and post the video.

ok dudes here you go:

d=1

Not sure what's up with the audio though...  and the segment showing the desoldering brain in action was from and earlier attempt that I had shot, but I rethought it and re-did it as I wanted to not show the tight masking in case whatever tape you used screwed you guys up.

So Like I said above... you CAN mask it, but unless you have non-meltable tape, just be careful instead.

here's a link for the cape cod polishing cloths I use: http://www.capecodpolish.com/products/product_info.php?products_id=28

Get the tin... they come in handy for ALL SORTS of stuff. Rings, metals, precious metals. These cloths are amazing!
