Hey all--

I'm looking to start learning to make PCBs. I bought the book "Build
Your Own Printed Circuit Board" by Al Williams and after playing around
with Eagle for a couple of weeks I think I'm ready.

What's a good place to buy PCB supplies, like copper clad boards,
etchant, developer tray, agitator, etc.? A place in Atlanta would be
ideal, but if not, what online places are best? A "one-stop shop" to get
all the supplies at once is what I have in mind.

Thanks,
Mark

Gogle for the supplies, than narrow the quest to Atlanta or north Georgia
area. Surely there are at lease a couple of hobby shops in that area that
have the copper sulfate solution and clad blanks.

Have you tried calling the electrical engineering department at Tech and
asking for some suggestions on suppliers?

I'm sure Austin Electronics in Norcross (not strictly in Atlanta,
but in the north metro area, and about a mile from the I-85/Jimmy
Carter Blvd. exit) has copper clad, and fairly sure they have at least
some of the other stuff too. Call or email and ask about everything
you want:

I got everything, chemicals, photosensitive boards, agitator, lamps, etc
from circuit specialists

I don't know if they are the cheapest around, but their stuff is good
quality and indeed it is a one stop shop.

Cheers
