How did you make the PCBs (etching and drilling)?

@sachleen I use the toner transfer method with ironing. I print the board design into ink jet photo paper in a laser printer, then I iron it onto the board, then I etch the board in FeCl. It takes a while to find the right paper and printer settings. I use a dremel drill press for drilling, but I only use phenolic boards and high speed drill bits. Fiberglass boards are much harder on the drill bits, usually requiring the more expensive and brittle carbide drill bits.

Where did you get those LEDs? I have some that look exactly like that!

@TheGuywithTheHat The green rectangular ones? Those are pretty common around here in Brazil. I got those at one of our online electronic components shop. Here are some links: at DigiKey, at eBay. Here's where I got them.
