connecting traces on opposite sides of a double sided board

(1/7) > >>

Simon:
So supposing I did manage to produce a double sided board, how do I connect the traces on the two sides, literally run a wire through the board and solder both ends ?

cfrolander:
Connect the traces with a through hole via! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_(electronics)

Simon:
right so how do I produce a via at home ?

djsb:
That's what I do. Also you can use the component lead itself as a via, it just takes a bit of practice. That's all you can do unless you are able to make plated through holes.

Simon:
right so there is no semi mechanised method for small productions just plain old soldering
