Why did they put 1127 date code date on it? Why not something earlyer with the original Signetics logo.

This thread made me immediately think of this recent series of articles on Fine Woodworking

http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/37540/furniture-lab-tech-cabinet-part-i
http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/37943/furniture-lab-tech-cabinet-part-2
http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/38245/furniture-lab-tech-cabinet-grand-finale

This was inspired by finding some large unpopulated PCBs in a scrap yard!

As long as the CNC machine's drill bits are small enough, I consider it fine crafting, although i give more credit to hand crafting.
