when i first started building pedals and was trying stripboard, I ordered a bunch from futurlec

http://futurlec.com/ProtoBoards.shtml (http://futurlec.com/ProtoBoards.shtml)

they have Large and Small Stripboards (3rd and 4th from the top)

as far as PC boards to etch, the place to get them from is a place Brian posted a link to on another topic:

http://stores.ebay.com/PCB-Laminates-Copper-Clad?_rdc=1 (http://stores.ebay.com/PCB-Laminates-Copper-Clad?_rdc=1)

i'm not sure where you live, but i don't think he ships internationally, so that won't help you if you aren't in the US.

First thanks for replying, I'm from aregntina but travel a lot to Florida and CA
and I have people working in several states, it would not be a problem in buying from anywhere, for everything I do I get to Florida.
one more question you know of any specific tool to cut the pc boards, neatly?? thanks again

awesome! definitely get the PC boards for etching from that eBay store then.

as far as cutting, i use my Dremel tool with a cutting wheel attachment. you can also use a hacksaw, that's what i did before i got my dremel-type tool.
