As I build my CMoy, I'll post my progress, my concerns and photos of the project. Hopefully this will end up being a good resource for first-time CMoy builders when it's all done with.
Progress: I have all the parts except for a multimeter, which may be in my mailbox as I type. I cut the PCB, layed out some parts and started soldering the jumpers.
Concerns: I haven't soldered in years and I suck at it pretty bad, plus I have a massive headache from the fumes. The desoldering braid works much less smoothly than I thought it would. I also did some tests with a hole puncher and a spare mint tin. The results were disastrous. What's an economical way to make clean holes in a mint tin?

Dirty-ass soldering.
